Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    I love this hostel. I've stayed here a long time because it has an excellent location, the single rooms are comfortable and have everything you need, including a balcony with great views of mountains and bright sun. It's way better than a hotel room for me and I would definitely come back again. The staff are friendly and helpful and the walls are sound proof with great WiFi so great for working. Highly recommended

    Very modern and innovative hostel catering for everyone. Various zones for cooking, relaxing, exercising, laundry. Good wi-fi signal in our room. The old city walls were right outside our window which gives a great sense of history. All the Roman exhibitions and ruins are within a few minutes walk and really cheap entry prices. Even better if you get voucher for 4 + sites, available at all the exhibitions. There are a lot of steps and steep slopes in Cartagena which you cannot avoid so be aware if you have mobility issues.

    One of the nicest hostels I’ve ever stayed at and I’ve worked at almost 20. I am NEVER motivated to write a review, but this place exceeded every high expectation I had. It is the most luxurious hostel you will ever stay in and is ridiculously cheap as well. 11/10.

    *3 Bed Private Room* Good location, close to bus station and old Cartagena. Really fresh and clean, quiet, feels very safe, firm comfortable beds. Toilet, shower and sink are all separate in the room which is really convenient if there is more than one guest. The shower pressure is excellent too. As far as facilities go this is an excellent hostel that's reasonably priced.
