Cartagena hostels

Pros: Staff is very friendly, the neighbor scared me in the beginning but Gloria and the staff are very helpful, she makes you feel safe, she calls taxis, she stops what she is doing in order to make you feel welcomed. They really take care of you.

Cons: My breakfast was not good, too simple. They should have at least couple options , then you pick according to your budget.

Pros: The room with sea side view was very nice (especially the sunset) and breakfast was really good. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Pros: Beautiful view with a balcony in front of the beach. Beautiful sunsets. The room was very clean and tidy with a beautiful floor made of wood and a big bathroom.

Pros: It is located right on the beach with some pretty though simple rooms. The staff is really friendly. A very nice and healthy breakfast is served. They did a really nice job of decorating the room for us as it was our honeymoon.

Cons: There is only cold water shower (but considering how hot it gets it is not an issue for us). It is a little remote from Cartagena (we actually liked that) but transportation can easily be found also through the hotel.

Pros: super cute room with a hammock and a view of the sea. you "feel" very well cared for, the boss, his assistant Yoli and the kitesurfing instructor Lorenz were extremely helpful and incredibly warm. here you can relax and feel in good hands. I'd like to come back. 

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The reception lady was great. She does not speak English but it does not stop her hospitality. The guy who look after activities seems knowledgeable and friendly.

Cons: I booked a pick up service from the airport but the driver has not been appeared. I took taxi instead to the accommodation. The owner (?) explained via phone that the driver was awaiting at the gate for one hour but actually there is only one national flight gate and I could not find the driver. I was there for more than 30 mins seeking wifi and sending message to the hotel... Not a good start of Cartagena trip. I booked this accommodation for a quiet and relaxing stay with sound of waves. Yes I heard wave sound from the room which was good but with laud music in day and night, even in early morning before sun rise. They said music is from next door. Yeah so it is not their fault but at the same time they cannot stop it. I also expected windsurfing because it is stated in booking.com. No they do not have it. They have many different marine activities available but no windsurfing. Breakfast was very basic, room has no air conditioner, shower was only with cold water, which is actually standard in Cartagena tho... Unfortunately it ended up an unpleasant stay for me, so I cancelled the rest of the stays and moved to the old town.

Pros: The people! Expecially Gloria! She is the heart of hospitality,, a great cook and a real sweetie! Yovana, the bartenders and masseuse is awesome! I would come back just for them! The fly school was a surprise, and I went up in a para motor, basically a two person motorized parasail. You have to try this, along with para-surfing. This is the good life. Great place and location!

Cons: Nothing. It was perfect!

Pros: This place has it all. If you want a relaxed stay at the beach with close to perfect kitesurfing conditions, posada kalea is the place to go to. The hosts give you a very warm and welcoming feeling. Honest and authentic. Also the prices are great. Sebastian is a great host and person and will help with anything. Definitely will return when I’m in Colombia

Cons: The lunch we had could have been better.

Pros: Beach life, palapa style

Cons: The hostel is completely isolated from the center of Cartagena, so much so that it's located in an extremely sketchy and dangerous ghetto for a solo woman traveler. It'll be more expensive in the end since you'll be needing a taxi every time to take you to the attractions of Cartagena. For a cheaper price you can find FAR better accommodations in the heart of Cartagena, where it's safe to walk around at night or day. Many locals mentioned NOT to stay there if alone and after having been in La Boquilla (hostel's location) I CLEARLY saw why. Would not recommend for location & price purposes.

Pros: the place is nice, nice vibes, the position is very very good.

Cons: there were bed bugs, and the guys have been rude when i told them.

Pros: people and location

Cons: room a lot of sounds...

Pros: It had a rooftop to hang out. Personally made to order free breakfast. It was also a diner/bar

Pros: clean, breakfast, location

Pros: Good air con.

Cons: Staff were grumpy and bathrooms not very clean at all. Rooms tiny and often a lot of notice in the early hours. Woke at 3am several nights to someone ringing the doorbell a lot because staff weren't around.

Pros: Location ideal. Very good breakfast and food available during the day for sale all on site. Computors for use and seating areas.
