“Cozy hostel to stay in!”
It is a cozy hostel in the heart of Getsemaní, very central and within walking distance of many places in the city. The atmosphere is peaceful, the hostel is clean, and the staff is incredibly kind and helpful. I really enjoyed my stay here.

“Perfect for exploring Cartagena”
The place to be if you're in Cartagena for a couple of days. Everything is in walking distance but still it it quite at night. The included breakfast (different options) is very delicious and the staff is super friendly and helpful.

“Great hostel”
Location couldn’t be better - close to the heart of Getsemani but not immediately surrounded by bars etc so quieter. Room is simple but comfortable. We didn’t have an exterior window but given noise in this area that’s probably a good thing. Breakfast is basic but sufficient. Staff were really helpful including in accommodating us when our plans for onward travel were disrupted.

“Loved our stay here”
The staff is super friendly, the rooms are clean, the cooking class is lovely, location is great and the breakfast is delicious. We stayed here 2 times, first time in a double room which was quite small, but fine. Second time we booked the family room which was huge! The bed was super comfortable. We loved our time here.
