About

Cartagena's walled city is the pride of Colombia, this is where you will find Viajero Cartagena - Centro Hostel. Located in a unique colonial house in a colorful street full of flowers, balconies and near nature-filled plazas a couple blocks away.

Stay in shared dorms (some are female only) or, if you prefer, in private bedrooms. Start your day like any Colombian would, enjoying a hot cup of coffee with fresh fruit and more. Wander through the city, discover great restaurants in a laid-back town, and keep in mind, our bar opens at four, and our FREE DAILY ACTIVITIES such as salsa and dance lessons, or live music, start shortly after that! Join the fun, get ready to go dancing to authentic Latino clubs or to bars with electronic music!

Welcome to our traveler community! Don't forget to check out our other hostels in Colombia: Medelli­n, Bogota, Cali, Salento, San Andres Island, Santa Marta and Tayrona; in Uruguay: Colonia, Montevideo and Pedrera; in Argentina: Buenos Aires; in Mexico: Sayulita and in USA: Miami

Viajero Cartagena - Centro Hostel.

* Remember not to confuse the hostel with hotel (also in the center) with the same name. We are Viajero Cartagena - Centro Hostel, and we are located on the street 7 Infants. (Tell the taxi city name to avoid confusion)

IMPORTANT: We have expanded our capacity so that you and more travelers can enjoy Cartagena with us! We have a new house with more rooms just one block away from the main house where all guests, without exception, must check in and check out.

If you reserved the room 'Standard with private bathroom' keep in mind that for any activities and services such as breakfast, restaurant or bar, you'll have to make your way to the main house.
