    Internet was not great in the dorms, people walking in the double rooms on top of the dorm beds made a lot of noise.

    Good price for the location and breakfast included. The dorms were spacious, also came with a light, a small lock box and charging ports. Air conditioning worked well.

    Not about the property itself, but be aware of the locals on the street cuz it’s easier than you think to get scammed or robbed.

    Everything regarding the facilities and Staffa was absolutely impeccable.

    Ok for a short stay

    Even though it’s quiet outside the people in the dorm are loud, constantly talking and on their phones at all hours as though they are the only person in the room. There were 2 bathrooms for the whole dorm so you’re waiting to use the bathroom which is annoying Although it’s included the breakfast is small so I stopped having it. It would be better to lower the price and not include breakfast. Breakfast is served in the morning it’s from 7:30 - 8:30 so only 1hour, when I’ve been to other hostels they serve it for longer. When breakfast is being served staff open the doors of the kitchen into the sleeping area so then becomes noisy which when you’re trying to sleep isn’t great.

    The location is great, it’s in the centre of Cartagena Even though it’s in the centre I found that outside was quiet at night. The bed was comfy and it’s nice to have a roller blind for privacy.

    Breakfast and common areas pretty basic but not bad

    Great location in center of old city. We had a double which are on the 3rd level above the dorm cubby style rooms. Was surprisingly spacious and comfortable apart from the head room when standing up.

    The hostel is very good, with well-designed dorms that offer private spaces. The outdoor area is nice but feels a bit enclosed due to high walls. The main downside is the limited number of bathrooms. We often had to wait, especially in the evening.

    The agency they work with for the Rosario islands tour is the worst tour company I’ve ever known. I totally recommend not to get the tours with them (opi tours). It ruined our visit to the islands, that’s what I don’t give a 10 to the hostel, it’s a pitty

    The rooms are quite nice and the location is perfect.

    it was freezing inside, but they do provide a very nice warm blanket. Just weird to have to sleep with a blanket in the tropics, but thats my beef in general. Everything else was good, no complains.

    Location, location, location. In the middle of the city yet surprisingly quiet inside. No frills but well setup. I don't care much for hostels but it was fine for a couple nights. Place was clean and mostly well maintained. Security was on the ball everyday keeping people out, good job.

    Would be good to have more common space to hang out that's in air con. No ear plugs provided given the location and can hear partying until early hours of the morning (at least 3am both nights I stayed)

    Love the Japanese style pod bunks, so spacious! Great location, decent bathrooms and breakfast.

    We didn’t experience many problems with it but if the hostel is busy 3 bathrooms might not be enough for all guests

    It is located in the very center but super quiet at night and pretty clean. For a hostel it is a good value to price :)

    In the morning there was a queue for the toilets of which there are only three which doesn’t seem like a lot considering there are 30 maybe 40 beds. One of the toilets was absolutely violated by another guest and this wasn’t cleaned even when we were departing.

    We stayed here for one night and we found the pods to be surprisingly private considering the dorm nature of the room. The location is amazing you’re right in the centre of the old town. Everything was clean except the Jacuzzi water looked stale and murky
