Stayed in a different hostal for one night, but it charged additional $COP 20,000 for AC which you will need in Cartagena, so we moved to La Casona. I found it was reasonably priced, it was three of us, so we opted for a private room. Rooms were small, but clean. Very basic hostel, but adequate and a short walk... More

A private room cost us COP$68,000 (without aircon - it was 79k with aircon, but we did not need it). I thought this was overprced for what the place was. The rooms were clean enough, a little small though. All of the rooms overlook the courtyard, which means that if there are party people staying and sitting outside, then it... More

The location just outside old town in the backpackers area is great but thats where the positive stuff ends. Rooms are small and noisy on some levels. Courtyard looks cool but does not invite to hang out in and they are really missing the trick with the roof terrace they have (so much potential). This in combination with being heavily... More

We were here over new year and it was the only room we could get at short notice. The price they charged was 3 times the listed price and more than we have paid for any other room in South America, may be due to holiday season though. The room was tiny and musty and I was bitten in the... More

As we were in a low season it seemed our room was not clean, the rate for the hotel was a bit to much for it, not to good for resting but it is a good option for getting the center in a walking distance, the surrounding streets look a bit unsafe but we had no problem, If you want... More

I stayed at this hotel 3 times! Each time I've gone back to Cartagena, Colombia this has been the best spot to lay my head! It's in a great part of town, Getsemani, which gives you a look into more of the local daily living and it's a 10-15 minute walk to the Beautiful historic ritzy Old Town Cartagena. The... More

The location is fantastic, within reach of most backpackers needs and short walk to old city. The private rooms are tiny, we stayed there over 2 seperate visits, broken up by a visit to Santa Marta. The first room we had was small but acceptable, the 2nd room we had was miserably small and extremely noisy. Got woken up by... More

We arrived in Cartagena on a sailboat from Panama and all I could think about was a shower and air conditioning. We had reserved a room at Hostel La Casona online before we left Panama and although we arrived a day late, there were no problems at the Hostel, they were happy to see we came. We were able to...

The hostel is well located and has an attractive courtyard. Booking was easy and the staff helpful, however the first room I was offered did not have any natural light and smelt of mould. The second room was better, but I was glad to be only staying for one night as the air conditioning did not work and room was... More
