Location was perfect. Super clean and tidy, and the rooftop was great. Rooms felt cool despite the heat. And the building itself was beautiful.
Not the most social hostel. Despite the rooftop bar being quite cool it never seemed busy? I also didn’t appreciate the lack of quiet hours: one night a group of boys came into the dorm and turned all the lights on at half one in the morning, and were laughing and shouting for ages. As a solo female traveler I didn’t feel comfortable asking them to be quiet. I appreciate late nights are a thing! And I often go out myself but for those needing to catch early flights or get up early this wasn’t great.

Nice space provided for the bed. Comfortable bed. Clean. Lovely decoration of the hostel. wifi is decent. Nice équipement for the bed (drying rack, 2 lamps, electric outlets, safe). Hot water and good water pressure appreciated 👍🏻
The clogged drain is hard to ignore because it makes the whole bathroom floor totally soaked. I don't understand why this issue is not addressed. Impossible to ignore by cleaning staff. Other guest had to use paper towels to try to keep the feet dry. The automatic movement sensored light that open even at night for the whole room, not necessary after 10pm...

The pool was great and clean, perfect for cooling down during the hot hours of the day. The cube concept for the dorm beds was comfortable as it was an 18 bed dorm, so it made it feel more private. The AC in the dorms was fab. The staff are friendly and answered any queries we had.
The kitchen is not well equipped. One knife, pans that can't stand straight on the stove, no chopping board.. a quick fix really! Also the dorm we had had no lock for main door while all the other rooms did, was a bit uncomfortable at the start especially since the restaurant and top floor are open to the general public.

It's a good location and the staff are friendly. It's also comfortable. Good beds for a hostel and bathrooms are clean and easy to use.
The lockers are cheap cheap .. if someone wanted your stuff, it would be super easy to get it. This wasn't a problem, but it's more of a comment. Breakfast is small it's basically an egg and juice and not buffet or anything like that. The facilities are nice but not as nice as photos.

Modern and stylish hostel that is clean and in a great location. I liked that little boxes with the bed where you can even walk next to the bed. With the curtain it felt like a little private room even in a dorm with 12 people.
The hostel is across from a club and even on a Monday and Tuesday they were playing music until 2/3 am which was not too loud to hear. However, you could feel and hear the beat in the bed if you have your bed on the left side of the big dorm. It was very annoying even for someone who does not care about noise at all.

This is a really great hostel! Having stayed at another hostel in Cartagena earlier in my trip, this one was was significantly better. The beds were extremely comfortable (one of the best of any hostel I’ve stayed in), and you had space beside your bed to place items/move. It also had two outlets, a safety deposit box(!), light, an expandable clothes drying rack (!), and comfy pillow. The bunks felt very sturdy, ladder was reinforced, and lockers were decent. The bunks look like just plywood in the photos, but they’re actually stained and sealed and really chic! Wifi was good and AC worked well in the rooms. Location was excellent. I wish I had stayed here earlier in my trip!
I couldn’t find any common-bathrooms/showers (they’re in each room) which just meant if someone was using yours you had to wait. They don’t really sell water there (small and way overpriced) so you have to walk to the corner store which is nbd. There isn’t a secure location to store bags it’s just a corner which anyone could walk into/take.

The location in El Centro is amazing. The atmosphere is casual and cool, even in Cartagena's heat. The little pool is refreshing after a day of sightseeing. Our private room with a bathroom on the 3rd floor was quiet and comfortable and the breakfast downstairs in the morning was delicious. The staff was wonderful, especially Marcela (Marce), who received us when we arrived. The rooftop bar is awesome for hanging out and having a cold drink. Thank you!
There were a few cucarachas on the floor that we swept out when we arrived. The air conditioning stayed freezing, even when we turned it down - which isn't too bad if you like to sleep cold. If you bring a lot of bags, be prepared to carry them as there are only stairs.

Clean. Have privacy with this pod type of bed. They have co-working space, wifi works perfectly
Kitchen could be better. Stove was not strong enough, needed 30mins to make just boiling water. And my food got stolen twice from the fridge. I liked their co-working space but there were a lot of mosquitoes and too noisy with musics and restaurant staffs(that space is also for staffs too) so but hard to had video chat No soap, hair dryer, seasonings except salt, and towel is additional charge Dorm has air conditioning which works well but they turns off during the day Idk why but only the dorm at the next to the stairs doesn’t have room key(the other dorms has), and people are visiting randomly for the rooftop bar, I don’t think that’s the best for security

Location was perfect. Drugstores, restaurants and attractions close by. Bed comfortable. A/C working well. The staff that was on overnight, was very helpful for my checkout and also waited with me for my uber in middle of the night
Only 2 bathrooms in the 16-beds mixed dorm. Not always the cleaninest. The lady on arrival just told me where everything was, it was very noisy and she didnt speak loud even after i asked her, therfore i had to figure out everything on my own.

What can I say?! Absolutely stunning building with so much character! The roof terrace was fabulous at night with great views of the city. The kitchen is handy and there is a pool, which I didn't use- but what a lovely feature. The rooms were spacious and well equipped and well thought out for a traveller (I stayed in two different dormitories). Nice hot showers and stylish bathrooms. The pizza restaurant downstairs is yummy and the breakfast is also fabulous! Would highly recommend staying here!
The dormitories smelt a bit damp, I think that is due to the showers being hot and no window ventilation.
