“ It was great although I'd like more things for breakfast. The atmosphere is great, the service is good and the beds are comfortable. I liked it and would definitely book a place in el viajero hostel when travelling to Cartagena! ”

“ The staff is very rude and unhelpful. The showers were disgusting. I've been in many hostels and this one is by far the worst hostel in the world. ”

“ Staff could have been more friendly. They seemed annoyed when I asked them about some questions, but it could have been because it was extremely hot that day. ”

“ My boyfriend and I had a private room, and we were in their second location (just a few doors down from the main building where reception desk is) and we were so pleased!! It was very quiet, peaceful, and private - the main building always had a lot of action going on and people hanging out which is not a bad thing, but we really enjoyed our quieter location. We really enjoyed our stay and the staff was friendly and helpful. ”

“ The showers are mixed and need to be more clean. Clogged drains and too much sand. Staffs are well informed. Air conditioner in the rooms! ”

“ Great location but I don't think this hostel quite lives up to its billing. It is reasonably priced and in a good location but it has drawbacks. It seems like a good place to go if you're arriving in a big group, but for travellers looking for meet others, it's not the friendliest place. Not many showers considering the number of guests, and they could be cleaner. Some of the staff were very helpful, others were quite lazy. Tours booked here are cheaper than at other hostels. Towels cost extra. ”

“ This hostel is very nice, I recommend it, but I don`t recommend Cartagena. It`s very expensive (more than Europe), there are no Caribeean beaches around (you need to travel by boat) and it`s extremely hot. Nightlife is awful, only 1 club with A/A. ”

“ I just was there 1 night so I cant judge it, but I can said that the location is nice if your plan is to discov er the "Corralito" by foot. I saw a party atmosphere but Im not sure if it is like that. It is a nice and cool place. The thestaff are too frendly. ”
