Cartagena Hostels hotel | Places to Stay in Cartagena

May 6, 2023 Karren Gelb

Cartagena, a gorgeous fishing village on Colombia's Caribbean coast, has excellent beaches, a historic old town (that's entirely walkable) and beautiful colonial architecture. It's also one of the safest places in the country, so it's no wonder it's a popular port of call for cruise ships. Need a break from exploring the cobblestone streets? Stop at an outdoor cafe for excellent pastries and people-watching.

Santuario hostel

Our property has a privileged view to the castle of San Felipe and is a few minutes walk from the main tourist points of the historical center, like the Museum of the Gold of Cartagena, the statue of the India Catalina, the square of the Most Holy Trinidad and Bolivar Park. The shared rooms are made by cubicles and a blackout achieving a light and sound insulation.

Amazing, incredible

Join the fun, meet people from all over the world, get ready to go dancing to authentic latin clubs or rather bars with electronic music, and don’t forget to leave your things in the locker or safeboxes for extra security! Enjoy this vibrant city in a unique colonial house, home to travelers from all over the world. Cartagena awaits, start booking now!

Excelent!

I was in Viajero Hostel the last week and was amazing, is a great place to stay in Cartagena, is close to everything, the staff is so nice and helpful. The Hostel infrastructure is one of the best that you can find in the city, the rooms are comfortable and clean, the Palo Mango bar is really good, you can enjoy a drink or talk with people in a relaxing way. Finally the protocols for COVID -19, I can say, they are careful with every recommendation from the government, Highly recommend!

Average to disappointing

Reviewed By Kat K

The hostel is located at the cool & colorful historic neighborhood of Getsemani, a short walk from the old town center and major attractions and is housed in a beautiful old building. However, the rooms and bathrooms at the time when we stayed could use a lot of work in terms on cleaning and maintenance… nothing was disgustingly dirty but nothing felt entirely clean either; bedsheets kinda tired and with stains, the furniture, curtains etc kinda dusty, no cleaning or linen change during our 3-nights stay. Bathroom and common areas in a similar condition while the door service (returning to the hostel you have to ring a bell so they let you in) is not always responsive; once we had to wait over 15 minutes in the street at night before they let us in (no apology of course). It is not terrible but there is sooo much room for improvement… for the rest of our stay in Cartagena, we booked another place for the same price (just 1€ more per night) and it was 10 times better/newer/cleaner and with a pool, cleaning service and breakfast included… so, we definitely recommend checking your options before concluding to this one!

My wife and I stayed there for 5 days and managed to go to the main touristic points either on foot or by Uber at very low fares. There is plenty of small markets, pharmacies, money exchange, restaurants and bars in the surroundings. The service is very nice and they really make an effort to please and serve us well. I do recommend this hotel!

Maloka Hostel Cafe-Bar Cartagena

Perfect location

Reviewed By reece_col

We stayed here for 3 nights in a private room. The hostel is a little more expensive that others in the city, but you get what you pay for as it was very quiet and clean and in a perfect central location. The staff were very friendly and helpful and could speak good English, as our Spanish wasn’t up to scratch! You also got a great breakfast included in the price, and the bar/cafe served reasonably priced beer and coffee. We also enjoyed using the rooftop space to chill out in the evenings.

Lovely little sanctuary in the heart of Getsemani

Reviewed By FunkyMarshmallow

We stayed four nights in this beautiful little oasis, the room was a good size and clean, bed was comfortable, shower was super hot, breakfast, fruit, juice, eggs and toast is made to order with vegetarians catered for. Staff are wonderful, friendly and helpful. The dipping pool in the courtyard is refreshing and there is a roof area, perfect for watching the sun rise over Cartegena. Perfect location for Getsemani and Historic town, didnt want to leave. My only reservation was lack of bedside lamp, the main light in the room was a little harsh for evening reading hence the loss of the 5th star

Wonderland Party Hostel

Good hostel far away from City

Reviewed By udai113

Nice hostel close to the airport but extremely far from the city. Very reasonably priced for the room and the buffet breakfast they offer. However, would recommend staying only for a night as it is too far from the city. The separations between the dorm beds are tooo thin - I could clearly hear all the details of a blow-job two beds away!!!

A TRAVELERS BIGGEST NIGHTMARE

Reviewed By Tour06780559630

Your worst nightmare as for a traveler! Please don’t go to this place! I’m traveling with two friends and during a tour where the hostel recommended to leave our valuables in the hostel. Our lockers were broken into and everything valuable was stolen (passports, credit cards, debit card, money, jewelry). No cooperation at all from the staff, the police were only informed 2 hours later and camera images were "coincidentally" black. The weird thing about this situation is that the hostel was the only one who knew which lockers were ours and what time we would be gone. Furthermore, they did not try to find a suitable solution and the boss of the hostel did not contact us or make any effort to reach us after several requests. PLEASE DON’T GO HERE!
