“A home away from home”

This accommodation feels like a home away from home Getsemaní is a fantastic location but can be super busy. However this accommodation is right in the centre of it but still feels nice and quiet when you go to bed. The host David is so welcoming, kind and helpful It was also amazing value for money for a private room in this location Thanks David for the lovely stay

“Lovely hostel”

The couple,who runs the place is extremely friendly and supportive.I felt very welcome.The location in lively Getsemani is great, because the hostel is in a quiet street.Very nice rooftop terrace.

After some difficulties everything went great. Thank you again!

“What a gem in Gentsemani”

Everything about this hostel was great. Clean and spacious room, comfortable bed, quiet and very central location. David and his wife Ana went above and beyond for me as I was sick and they purchased me medicine. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

“5 days in Cartagena”

Great hosts, great location and comfortable, reasonably priced accommodation 🙏

David e Ana were really amazing, they gave me a lot of information about the city. Plus they didnt make me pay anything when I forgot to give the key back when living. Gave me some fresh fruits in the morning. Everything really good, thank you again

Central location

“No WiFi on the top room”

- the location is relatively good - the room was quite large

“Good for one night”

It is close to a vibrant area of Cartagena and the room was looking such as in the pictures.

It’s in a great location — in the heart of Getsemaní but on a quiet street, so you can enjoy the nightlife and still get a good night’s sleep. It’s also very affordable. If you’re traveling on a tight budget and just need a place to sleep, it might still be a decent option. Just don’t expect too much — the high ratings are a bit of a mystery to us.

“A clean room”

It was in a very central location. My room was clean. Staff were kind. It was a basic room but I was happy with the cleanliness.

“Simple comfort in great location”

The hostal is in a very central location in the beautiful, narrow and colourful streets of Getsemani. There's a very good selection of places to eat and drink in the area as well as several supermarkets. The old centre of Cartagena, with its museums and restaurants is an easy walk away (about 7 minutes). Although it's a lively, safe area, the hotel is in a quiet street. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The room is a comfortable size. It's simply furnished and spotlessly clean with good aircon. Although there is no breakfast, there's an excellent choice of places to go within a few minutes walk. The hop on/off bus stop is only 5 minutes walk away and the harbour for tourist boats is less than 10 minutes walk away.

The location is within walking distance to the touristic areas of Getsemani and the Historical Center. The AC in the room was great.

The only good thing is that you have air conditioner

“Great location and very welcoming staff”

Staff above all else

“Small rooms with chance of cucarachas or ants sighting”

+ location & aircon - second night a HUGE cucaracha (aka coackroach) showed up on the floor and ran away to the bathroom without posing for the photo. The employe killed it and suggested to disinfect that tiny room with anti-coackroach spray. As there is no ventilarion option, 8I didnt feel like sleeping in fumes, we agreed to be able to sleep in another room. Which had very lively ants trail. They werent too proud to pose and picture below. Lets see if any roach babies are flying back with me from the hostal.. Otherwise, tiny rooms. Once they key got stuck in the lock first night, the lady suggested not locking doors at all as "it is very safe" Not impressed:/

“Great family run hotel”

Absolutely loved my stay here - it was perfect for exploring the city, the location was superb, and staff all really friendly and helpful. The plate of fruit given in the morning was brilliant and the free coffee was also much appreciated. If I come back to Cartagena I'll definitely book to stay here again.

“Great location for the price”

Great location and as a single woman I felt safe in the area. The bed was comfy but the shower cold. My room (#5) was on the smaller side and the windows faced onto an internal spiral staircase that was used by staff so I didn't open my blinds. Given this I felt quite claustrophobic. But all in all I was happy with my room for the price. It seemed to be possibly the better and quieter room out of all the rooms. For a full day there was no power (the whole neighbourhood was out) but then the next day there was still no wifi - another client and I let the girl on the front desk know in the morning but it still wasn't working that night. So I then let the lovely young man on the front desk know and he had it up and running in a few minutes. The fruit and coffee in the morning were a great start to the day. I understand this hotel changed administration in March 2025 so I felt it didn't have the sparkle from previous reviews that attracted me to book it..

Everything was perfect. The 2 girls working in the morning are just amazing and so friendly ! The plate of fruit in the morning was fantastic. Only one point : in my single room the light button was not secured on the wall so it doesn’t work properly, same issue in my bathroom Otherwise everything was perfect !

“Excellent hotel. Would recommend”

Great little hotel, close to the action but far enough away so that it is quiet. Staff were so friendly and supportive.
