Viajero Cartagena - Centro Hostel

I had a great stay at this hostel! It has a super social atmosphere, making it easy to meet people if you’re looking to connect. The location is fantastic—right in the center, close to everything. The staff was also really welcoming and created a fun and inclusive vibe. Some pros: You could get a new towel each day, which was great, but a lot of times they ran out, so you had to wait. I also highly recommend the yoga—the teacher was amazing! We just did it in the lobby with people working around us, but it was still a great experience. There were some downsides, though. The beds in the private rooms were really small (around 120cm wide), making it quite cramped for two people. They also felt short, which might be an issue if you're tall. Another thing that got frustrating was the entrance system—you always had to be buzzed in, and sometimes the wait was long. Also, be aware that the hostel is really noisy, with things happening every night, so if you're a light sleeper, they have earplugs! The room felt a bit expensive for what you get. The kitchen was quite outworn, with lots of people using it at the same time, making it chaotic. The fridge was always full, and the pots and pans were old and the kitchen often dirty. Overall, if you're looking for a fun and social place in a central location, this is a good choice. Just keep in mind the noise, the entrance system, and the kitchen situation before booking!

Having stayed in Viajeros before in Central and for the price of this hostel I expected a lot better. The location is perfect, the staff is good, though they could do with more at the front desk as there was always a queue. The rooms are alright, they get super hot, you don’t have an individual fan but the do/can leave the AC on (I think? I’m not too sure how the AC timings worked as sometimes it was on all day and other times not). I didn’t use the kitchen. Bathrooms are alright. They do have a fair few events on which is good for meeting people. Overall, it was an okay stay but for such a price I expected much better.

Great place to stay in Cartagena, right in the center of it all. Room was nice and roomy with air conditioning! No hot water but it’s okay because it’s super hot so it’s nice to feel refreshed after a hot day out in the islands. We were in the annex which is a block away so it feels nice and private from the main hostel. Concierge was super accommodating regarding removing a day from our trip 72 hours before.

The rooms and the amenities are cleaned multiple times a day so the place doesn’t get disgusting even if there are a lot of people. The staff are helpful, the vibe is great at the hostel. One downside (depends on your preference and/or if you’re traveling and not working or if you’re into the party scene) The music is loud at the lobby almost all the time, and sometimes it’s just nice to have quiet moments because in the evenings there are parties constantly at the hostel bar as well and the hallways can get pretty loud. Overall, clean rooms and toilets and showers. Free coffee and juice at the lobby all day. Vibe is amazing. Parties are every night so if you want peace and quiet just book a hotel or a non party hostel. Really depends on your preferences.

Perfect place to home base and enjoy Cartagena in the heart of the historic district but also on a quiet street, close to supermarket. Cleaned regularly, comfortable with a great atmosphere. Air conditioned common areas and cool bar and pool! Great for meeting other travelers. But the BEST part of this hostel was the incredible staff. CAMILA and LAURA at the front desk were super nice, helpful and knowledgeable. They went the extra mile day and night. Made me feel safe and were always there with a smile and a spot of conversation. Tasha was a joy to meet as she ran the daily social free Cuba libre hour! And Juan taught a master yoga class, free!

Amazing experience at the Viajero Hostel The team there is complete, friendly and soooo much fun. Thank you to Andrea for all the activities, the salsa lessons. I’ve learnt so much along side you !! Dayana is the best bar maid any 5 star hotel could ever ask for. Warm, friendly and serves the best cocktails ! Liz is a great cook and makes us have breakfast dinner and lunch at the hostel every day. The food is so great ! I recommend 100%

Hector, David, Liz, Diana, Renal were very great to me. I loved their bar service really great people to me. Im glad i came across them my trip wouldnt have been the same.

This is a lovely hostel with a very friendly vibe, but it is a party hostel. I booked a private room but still didn't sleep for the 3 nights I stayed. There is always loud music, drums and entertainment at the bar until late, then the pub crawls and bar tours leave around 10:30pm which is the only time to get some sleep, before their return in the early hours of the morning.|However if you're looking for a party hostel, this place is fun. Nice pool, hammocks for chilling during the day. But I wouldn't stay here again based on the minimum sleep I got
