The staff were really nice, the breakfast was tasty and big, the property was very clean and quiet at night and there was aircon in all rooms. The location is good too, only a 20min walk from buses leading to Tayrona and Minca in one direction and Cartagena in the other. Very much recommend if you just want a night between cities

An excellent value hostel. The free brekkie was delicious and filling. The room was delightfully cool. Good shower. Lovely staff. Nice chill out spots. Lots of information about local tours. In my opinion easily walkable from the centre even at night. I didn’t feel unsafe there at all. For 5 quid a night you’d be stupid not to stay here. Especially if you are wanting to skip the party atmosphere of Viajero Hostel.
