Pros:

Posto ok. é strutturato con tutte le camere singole e camerate che danno su un lungo e stretto patio interno quindi c'è sempre gente fuori dalla finestra. Anche la lobby è piccola e stretta, le "lezioni di yoga" si fanno appiccicati alla reception per esempio. Lo staff è adorabile.
Posizione ottima

Pros:

Personal amable
Ubicación aceptable

Cons:

Lo peor: Ruidoso, las habitaciones están al lado de zonas comunes y es imposible descansar.
Por la mañana igual, la cocina está al lado y hacen ruido desde por la mañana.
Poco limpio. Encontramos un gusano en la cama, capullos de gusanos en el baño y paredes, las sábanas estaban sucias…

Precios excesivamente caros en desayuno, lavandería, alimentos…

Safe option in Cartagena
Pros:

Good place but i think you pay more for the location than for the facilities offered. We initially booked one room which had a veeeery mouldy ac, so they upgraded us for free which was very nice. We got a nicer cleaner room. The place we stayed in was very quiet , it was the other building of viajero. However if you book in the main building it get very very loud until like 11-12 in the night. Like loud as in speaking in microphone and dancing .
The place is nice to meet people and they have daily activities .
Very alcohol focused tho

I think that it is not worth the money but I don’t think there are many other cheaper options

Cons:

Written all above

Perfect, social stay
Pros:

Loved staying here. Great walkable location, easy to access points of centro, getsemani, la bodeguita, etc. The staff are all friendly and fun. I booked a private room and it was super clean. The staff even organized the room every day, which was unexpected but nice. Bathrooms were also clean. Fun social events and a great pool. Would 10:10 stay again.

Cons:

No complaints
