Cartagena Hostels

Pros: The location, my son enjoyed the pool

Cons: Mosquitos in the room

Pros: The staff was really nice especially the lady that prepares breakfast she’s amazing!!!!

Cons: The room barely had lighting, ants in the bathroom, and the location is not that great bad neighborhood at night the following block is much better

Pros: Location Airconditioning

Cons: Much noise from Spanish speaking people at night. They don't seem to realise that there are other people sleeping. There is an open ventilation space above door wich let's the noise in. There is hardly any "outside" noise. So if the staff would take action in the sleeping hours this could be a much quieter hotel.

Pros: I stayed there few days. All the staff of this hostel is friendly and helpful. The rooms are cleans and comfortable. This house is simply beautiful ! You can chill out at the swimming pool and listen Good music on the roof top while sunset.

Cons: None

Pros: It’s location is close to everything. Reasonable price and the staff is really friendly and helpful.

Pros: nice dormitory - friendly staff - nice rooftop

Cons: location is central but not as nice - swimming pool is small - no curtain in the shower which quickly become wet

Pros: Very nice building and a good bit cooler in the courtyard than in the street, nice staff and well planed hostel. Every dorm has it's own bathroom and all is very clean.

Cons: A bed lamp would be great, but to be honest its pretty good anyway.

Pros: Location was good.

Cons: There were no armenities in the e room as anounced on booking.com and they only had one controller for the aircon. Meaning everytime we wanted to change something we first had to walk to thr reception to get the controller and aircon turned off at 4.30 am and not 8 am. Also staff was not very polite and they booked us a bus ticket to Tayrona NP- which was actually only to Santa Marta and not to Tayrona but telling us that it is until Tayrona. Very disappointing customer service and I don't appreciate it when people lie straight to my face. I do not recommend this porperty. There aee many better hostels in Cartagena.

Pros: Great location & clean friendly informative staff excellent value and

Cons: Had to change rooms for the last night - shame

Pros: perfect location good value for money staff is nice

Cons: the size of the rooms is a bit small

Pros: Great staff and a great place! Carmen was fantastic!

Pros: The Cartagena Inn is in a quiet (!) street in the old center. The location is the BEST you can find. Carmen is brilliant! She is doing all for her guests. Although the communication is only in Spanish she is doing all to let you understand. Google translate and writing down for you in simple Spanish so you can translate later. If she suggest sometinh, simple say 'yes', because she likes it that you enjoy your stay!

Cons: There is nothing which I don't like. All is ok!

Pros: Great services and such comfy beds.

Cons: Slightly out of town but isn’t a problem when your chilling

Pros: Extremely hospitable people working there. Delicious breakfast. They carried out every request (e.x. milk to coffe, they printed boarding passes etc.)

Pros: Really nice staff, clean rooms, breakfast in the heart of Getsamini, closed to many beautiful streets ! They helped us with a taxi to the airport and to print our tickets.

Cons: Nothing. It is good value for the aera !

Pros: The location. It is literally q munuye walk from Trinidad square. Yet, calle loma is all locals. Safe to walk. I am a solo female traveller and felt totally safe to walk back and forth at 2am. Always buzzing with oeople and music. I had a shared room but tjr sheets werent clean so the staff gave me another room, all to myself. Very pleased.

Cons: Limited english sleaking staff. Difficult to communicate. Itd woukd be nicer to get some local tips as well.

Pros: The room we stayed in was very small: a double bed and two backpacks and the room was full. There are some shelves and a small table. For us this was fine. Very good airco! Good wifi reception. Breakfast: eggs, toast, juice, coffee. Coffee all day. Beautiful neighbourhood. They let you store your baggs. Laundry service. Friendly staff.

Cons: The matress was so soft it became a hammock after a few hours. Room is small.

Pros: It was perfectly clean, and the personal was really kind.

Cons: Nada

Pros: Amazing staff!

Pros: The site is close to the historic center, bars and restaurants.

Cons: Was difficult find the place because the outside of the Hotel just said Cartagena instead of Cartagena Inn. The breakfast is regular and half of this is autoservice (coffee and drinks).

Pros: Friendly staff. Clean shared bathroom.

Cons: nothing

Pros: It’s on the beach so facilities are very basic but it’s nice enough. Playa Blanca is beautiful but it is expensive so be prepared to pay more for things when you get here. Rooms are basic but that was fine for me, you are literally right in the back and can sit in the balcony overlooking the sea. Would def recommend visiting playa Blanca, such a chill vibe!!

Cons: Expensive for what it is

Pros: Location. Two of the staff Carlos and Elena where always friendly and helpful if you needed anything or anything went wrong, but too much goes wrong here that’s the problem.

Cons: 1.Upon arrival we were greeted and sat down to arrange check in, as we sat down two women who were on the premises proceeded to give us massages, we said no twice but they persisted as we were occupied talking to the receptionist. By the end of it this the two women asked for 100,000cop each we said no which began the big debate that went on for an hour between us who do not speak much Spanish, the receptionist and another lady who translated for us. Eventually they settled for 60,000, we were not happy about this because we didn’t have much cash and we thought that the women were part of the Hostal. We were not told anything before arriving to the island either. At the end of the day it is the hostels responsibility not to allow these people on the premises, or to tell them to stop hassling us as we checked in. None of this was done. 2. There is sand everywhere all through the rooms. 3. On the sign it says breakfast starts at 7 and lunch starts at 12. Every day this was late from between 1 and 2 hours. We missed our midday boat because lunch was so late on the last day. 4. They always run out of water for the showers, and often had to ask half way through for them to top it up by hand. 5. The food is not good 6. The walls are paper thin you can here all the rooms around. The floors shake as people walk and even shake when someone decides to have sex in there room. Yes you can here and feel every thrust! Disgusting! Stay here if you would like a terrible experience!

Pros: Bed comfortable Right on the beach at the quiet end so less people selling to you Relaxed vibe

Cons: Staff seemed very confused when I showed up, almost unwelcoming at first. Not sure what was going on Because it’s and outdoor/indoor space there were rats running around the roof at night Some man (I didn’t open the door so not sure if it was a member of staff) was knocking on my door at 10pm for around 10-15 mins which was a little scary considering I’m a lone female traveller Windows have no locks so anyone can just crawl in the room About a 25 minute walk from the main restaurant area

Pros: The staff was amazing. Myriam and Lupe were incredible and really kind, and Myriam's passion fruit daiquiri is absolutely great!!! The tours are amazing, specially the bioluminiscent plankton!!

Cons: Everything was excellent

Pros: Great location, quiet on the beach Not overcrowded

Pros: The staff were amazing and so helpful, very kind. You could hear waves crashing all night. It was a dream.

Pros: Staff is amazing, simply amazing. Wake up and open your room door to see the sea it does not have any price. And Cristian the owner, that guy rocks!

Pros: Superb location (just by the beach). Great staff, Miriam is very nice with travelers and and food prices are reasonable. Bear in mind that electricity (and hence WiFi) is connected at 19:00. If you're planning to disconnect at a bargaing this is the place.
