Summary: Amazing place for solo travellers/backpackers! Very cozy hostel with amazing staff! Very friendly, kind and polite staff! I felt at home with them around. Very close to the airport! 3mins walk from airport to hostel. There is NO shuttle bus as the hostel is very close to the airport, what they offer is a guide/helper to get you from the airport to the hostel. Can be misleading. A/C in bedroom which is SO needed in Cartagena! There is not mini fridge if you ever wanna keep your drinks cold. Good luck with that! Breakfast is 10/10! Amazing service! They serve you at the table! It's not like the American/Canadian breakfast services where you serve yourself like a buffet. Pretty much like a restaurant, they offer you a menu and you choose. Juice/coffee/hot chocolate included, there's an entrée then your main course! Really great! Worth it for the price! Would definitely book again if I ever go back. Almost 50 mins walk to the center! Next to beaches! Really satisfied! Only downside, is that you need someone to open the door from a distance, every time you wanna leave/come back to the hostel. Which can be inconvenient for some. Overall, easily a 8/10 for the price! Don't expect luxury or modernity! It's a hostel!
