Australia COUPLE 25-30 Feb 28, 2026 Atm 40%

Security needs attention. The main doors are often left open, with loud people sitting on the steps late into the night/early morning. Our room lock only worked if jimmied a certain way, and the AC above the bed dripped all night. Some kitchen appliances, like the toaster, were missing. The rooftop is largely under renovation with debris everywhere, and the bar is not operational, which wasn’t advertised. Lovely young receptionist, and we appreciated the compensation, but issues remain.

Dorm beds had to privacy curtains, bathroom wasn’t the cleanest, and had some issues with laundry. However, really good location - did the job.

la terrasse était sympathique, c'est très tranquille, il ne se passe pas grand chose, les toilettes de notre chambre n'étaient pas très propre mais le lit était confortable, un peu overpriced pour ce que c'était, mais tout est overpriced à Cartagène!

Établissement très bien situé dans le centre de Carthagène avec des petits dortoirs de 4. Parfait pour y passer le week-end.

Incredible hostel, every member of stuff suuuuper friendly and helpful. Clean and has everything you need! Felt very "home" vibes. Great location, reasonable price. I was sad to leave such a warm, comfortable place. Highly recommend ✨️

Ideal spot for a hostel, just up the road from the main square in Getsemani.

Usually I don' leave bad reviews but I am travelling since one month in Colombia and never had a bad experience in hostels...the staff was nice apart of one girl, really super rude! She entered twice in my room without even knock at the door... And she turn off the air conditioning in the room without even ask. The temperature was over the 30 degrees... During the night I had to go to the reception asking for the air conditioning at 2 am because I couldn't sleep for the heat. Also the same girl ...

Nice hostel in a very good location in getsemani. Helpful staff. 4 bed dorm had air conditioning, good in cartagena's heat. Free coffee and tea available all the time. Upstairs bar looks pretty tired but there's plenty of places to go in town.

Great location, and the room was pretty clean. Very laid-back atmosphere which is great for travellers who are looking to explore the city in the morning and relax at night.

Great stay at Casa Mama Waldy, my 3 friends and I got a dorm room all to ourselves with A/C and a bathroom/shower. Very chill atmosphere, great location, and comfy beds. Will definitely stay here again :)

Great location Decent value Staff not massively friendly No free water We had a private room, but it had no window. It had a floor mounted AC machine, but the warm air being extracted from it came straight back into the room through big gaps round the door so the AC was pretty pointless. Therefore if was a dark and stuffy room.

Nice, very quiet hostel. Clean, nice staff and great location. The hostel is small if you're hoping for a social place this isn't it. However its location is great to get out there and emerge in the Colombian night scene and come back to a quiet peaceful place to sleep.

Pro: location, free coffee or tea, decent kitchen. Affordable prices (15$) Great a/c del 6pm to 10. Cons: no key room was giving to me which makes me think that everyome can enter the room.
