Stayed there on a wednesday night and the hostel bar had a salsa band playing till 2 am and then they switched to techno, you could here everything in the rooms ! and mine was not even the closest.. Staff and reception were great though.. Overall it seems a too big hostel with no personality..

Definitely one of my favorite city hostels in Colombia! It's clean and they've got everything you need. It's located within 5 min walk to the city center, so you don't have to worry about how to get there. Especially recommended if you want to meet people and party a bit. They have the best rooftop party experience in cartagena! Enjoy!

Stayed here in April 2012 in a private double room . Rooms are large, clean and airy. Beds are comfortable and the en suite bathroom in better than other hostel in the area.

A nice hostel in a good location, with a small pool in the middle. But the staff here are terrible. We had a friend joining us and asked for them to be put in our dorm, we were told no problem. On the day they arrived we were told it was not possible that they were full. Yet 2 beds... More

We stayed here for a couple of nights after reading good reviews about it. The hostel could be the best in the world: beautiful dorms, fantastic roof terrace, nice neighborhood, a pool (small, but still), a nice crowd and a big kitchen. The people who run it though are the most unfriendly I've met in Latin-America. Not willing to help... More

This is probably my favourite hostel in the world! It is a party hostel so not for everyone. For those travelling alone or just interested in meeting other travelers this place is perfect. There is a really nice vibe and atmosphere about the place. Great location just outside the old town walls and next to the famous Havana salsa club.... More

This was a real party hostel but i loved it! Great swimming pool and you can just chill out in the hammocks. It's a great place if youre travelling alone, it's really easy to met people here and the building is beautiful, it really has a lot of character. Would highly reccomend this place, it wouldn't be for everyone but... More
