Herbergen in Cartagena

Positiv:: It was a nice place with a good atmosphere. The homemades were really efficient and the cookers were nice and regardless. The kitchen was useful but there is only one fridge.

Negativ:: Lack of fournitures to hang or tidy our clothes in The rooms and the bathroom. The fournitures kitchen could be improve.

Positiv:: Die Lage ist top. Man ist schnell zu Fuss überall. Wie hatten das Privatzimmer mit Aussicht zum Hafen, das war schön.

Negativ:: Ich weiss zwar nicht wie es ausser saison ist, aber wir haben über Neujahr viel zu viel bezahlt. Ausserdem war das Frühstück nicht sehr lecker und der Kaffee ungeniessbar.

Positiv:: Aussicht von der Dachterrasse

Negativ:: (sehr) Dreckige Terrasse mit klebrigem Boden Badezimmer klein und ohne Ablagefläche/Henkel Insgesamt etwas in die Jahre gekommen

Positiv:: Good aircondition. Great WiFi! Good location. Good value for money.

Negativ:: Not enough bathrooms, very noisy (especially when the window in our room was not attached to the room itself, which means there was open in the top, therefore a lot of noise), No toilet sets. No where to hang a towel in the room.

Positiv:: The airconditioned room was comfortabel (you definitely need AC in Cartagena)

Negativ:: The extra money for their basic breakfast is definitely not worth it. We were even asked to do the dishes for a breakfast we paid for...

Positiv:: Very good location, very colorful and nice.

Negativ:: Very uncomfortable climb to the beds. And in the moment you do check out, you’re not allowed go to the others floors, you can stay just next to the recaption . Up stairs those are the chill area on the sofas and the roof top to chill and smoke. I think it’s very a stupid rule, is you have bus in the night you can’t go and chill or rest during all day, and your were actually a guest.

Positiv:: Location. Breakfast was great. Staff were nice. Rooms were clean.

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: Lovely stuff! Super clean and tidy! Would definitely love to come back again!

Positiv:: Location, Terrace

Negativ:: Stuff is very short cut & speaks no english. If you try with broken spanish, they seem a bit annoyed. It is en eldery hostel & one can see it. We had a double room on the 2nd floor. The wall to the next room was only a visual cover - it is open under the ceiling, so you could here everythin from the other room. Like a really colombian accommodation. We could here music from the club beside the hostel & slept with earplugs. No atmosphere Would not recommend to stay here. There are tons of others in Cartagena.

Positiv:: Easy to find in a taxi from the airport. The hostel is also easy walking distance to the walled city and other sites nearby and walking tours etc. You can store your bags when you have checked out. Fine as a base or short stay but I wouldn't stay again.

Negativ:: The rooms have fans but are still very hot. There were also loud people in my room talking all night and very early in the morning. The breakfast is OK but I have had much better included with hostels for the same price.

Positiv:: Super Hostel, sehr zentral, top Preis Leistungs Verhältnis.

Negativ:: Da unser Zimmer auf die Strasse gerichtet ist, eher etwas laut wegen Verkehr, aber es geht.

Positiv:: Das Hostal liegt Recht Central in Getsemani. Das Personal ist sehr bemüht zu helfen.

Negativ:: Man spricht kaum Englisch aber mit dem Übersetzer schafft man es sich verständlich zu machen.

Positiv:: It’s on the beach so facilities are very basic but it’s nice enough. Playa Blanca is beautiful but it is expensive so be prepared to pay more for things when you get here. Rooms are basic but that was fine for me, you are literally right in the back and can sit in the balcony overlooking the sea. Would def recommend visiting playa Blanca, such a chill vibe!!

Negativ:: Expensive for what it is

Positiv:: Location. Two of the staff Carlos and Elena where always friendly and helpful if you needed anything or anything went wrong, but too much goes wrong here that’s the problem.

Negativ:: 1.Upon arrival we were greeted and sat down to arrange check in, as we sat down two women who were on the premises proceeded to give us massages, we said no twice but they persisted as we were occupied talking to the receptionist. By the end of it this the two women asked for 100,000cop each we said no which began the big debate that went on for an hour between us who do not speak much Spanish, the receptionist and another lady who translated for us. Eventually they settled for 60,000, we were not happy about this because we didn’t have much cash and we thought that the women were part of the Hostal. We were not told anything before arriving to the island either. At the end of the day it is the hostels responsibility not to allow these people on the premises, or to tell them to stop hassling us as we checked in. None of this was done. 2. There is sand everywhere all through the rooms. 3. On the sign it says breakfast starts at 7 and lunch starts at 12. Every day this was late from between 1 and 2 hours. We missed our midday boat because lunch was so late on the last day. 4. They always run out of water for the showers, and often had to ask half way through for them to top it up by hand. 5. The food is not good 6. The walls are paper thin you can here all the rooms around. The floors shake as people walk and even shake when someone decides to have sex in there room. Yes you can here and feel every thrust! Disgusting! Stay here if you would like a terrible experience!

Positiv:: Bed comfortable Right on the beach at the quiet end so less people selling to you Relaxed vibe

Negativ:: Staff seemed very confused when I showed up, almost unwelcoming at first. Not sure what was going on Because it’s and outdoor/indoor space there were rats running around the roof at night Some man (I didn’t open the door so not sure if it was a member of staff) was knocking on my door at 10pm for around 10-15 mins which was a little scary considering I’m a lone female traveller Windows have no locks so anyone can just crawl in the room About a 25 minute walk from the main restaurant area

Positiv:: Das Meer und der Strand waren traumhaft schön.

Negativ:: Das Zimmer war unkomfortabel und dreckig. Zu touristisch und viele gefählichnahe Jetskys. Immerwieder steigt der Geruch von Benzin in die Nase von den vielen vorbeifahrenden Booten. Leider funktioniere das Wlan sowie die WC-Spühlung nicht. Es ist auch keine Gemeinschaftsküche, wie es auf booking angegeben war, vorhanden. Es gab generell kein laufendes Wasser.

Positiv:: Die lage ist perfekt! Weißes Sand, blaues Meer, einfach traumhaft! Das Essen ist sehr lecker und Carlos (der Mitarbeiter im Rezeption) ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit! Das hostal sieht genau so aus wie in Fotos! Es ist eine ruhige Lage, weniger Verkäufer, man fühlt sich total relax und genießt die Natur!

Negativ:: Ein gewisses Maß an Sauberkeit ist einfach wichtig (man will sich ja schließlich wohl fühlen!) Drauf sollte das hostal mehr achten. Die Zimmern sind rustikal und ökologisch gestaltet, sind sehr schön aber die Matratzen sehen nicht so toll aus, wir haben unter unsere Betten Müll von andere Reisende gefunden.

Positiv:: The staff was amazing. Myriam and Lupe were incredible and really kind, and Myriam's passion fruit daiquiri is absolutely great!!! The tours are amazing, specially the bioluminiscent plankton!!

Negativ:: Everything was excellent

Positiv:: Great location, quiet on the beach Not overcrowded

Positiv:: Loved every minute at this hotel! The location was perfect! A little bit further down on the beach so it’s not as busy. The ocean is beautiful! Plenty of sun beds with covers. The staff were super friendly (especially mario!) the owner went above and beyond to make our stay as pleasurable as possible! We stupidly forgot money and he did everything he could so we didn’t have to go all the way back to Cartagena. We were super grateful for the 1st class customer service he provided us! We have a dog and they were so good with her which puts us at ease so much! It was amazing, we will be back (with more money haha)!!!!

Negativ:: Some of the toilets didn’t have seats- and it is a self flush system.. but so is a majority of the island!

Positiv:: The staff were amazing and so helpful, very kind. You could hear waves crashing all night. It was a dream.

Positiv:: The stuff is very friendly and helpful. Nice view to the sea out of your window. Very calm area. Games to play.

Negativ:: Wifi is super bad! You cant organize anything with it. Just a little bit water to shower once a day. No milk for the coffee. And a mouse was eating a hole to my bagpack.

Positiv:: Superb location (just by the beach). Great staff, Miriam is very nice with travelers and and food prices are reasonable. Bear in mind that electricity (and hence WiFi) is connected at 19:00. If you're planning to disconnect at a bargaing this is the place.
