Located quite close to the main city attractions in a previously colonial house. The room, bathroom and common areas were spotless and also located in a quieter road. David, the host, is a classical helpful and efficient gentleman. Communication was very easy and forward. He was very helpful with his tips, advice and even assisted in an unexpected nasty encounter I had, which has got nothing to do with the accommodation. Since I had to wake up earlier next day to catch my flight, a typical delicious Colombian empanada packed with meat and egg was served in the morning including a nice cup of Colombian coffee even though the place does not have a proper restaurant. It is all about the small things. Highly recommend this establishment especially for budget and or solo travellers and hoping to stay there again as I am planning to revisit the beautiful country of Colombia.

The staff was amazing ! The vibe of the hotel is great. Everyone was super friendly and it was super easy to make friends. There's events every day, so that's really good if you wanna meet people. The beds are great, I thought I was gonna get hot at night reading other people's comments but i was actually cold haha the AC at night is very good. I also liked the pod-style beds because they're dark and you can't hear anything from outside. Breakfast is great.

Room was spacious and comfortable room with great AC, hammocks and rocking chairs in the homely lounge area. The couple who run this hostel really care. They helped us contact the police when we were unfortunately targeted by a scam on a beach in the outskirts of Cartagena, and their assistance helped us get out of things safe and evade the scam.
