Pros:

Très propre, chambre lavée à fond tous les jours même si aucune nouvelle arrivée ou départ. Lits bien pensés, il manque juste une petite lampe de chevet et c’est parfait. Et les poignées de portes qui claquent, sinon rien à dire !

No tiene detalles funcionales de hostal
Pros:

Muchas cosas me gustaron, ubicación, la vista, la comodidad de las camas en habitación compartida, los desayunos, todo deli...

Cons:

No me gustó que no cumple con algunos detalles que dan funcionalidad de hostal, le pedí a la chica el día 4 de abril o bueno ya era 5 de abril pues era de madrugada, para guardar algo en el refrigerador y me dijo que no tenían ese servicio, entonces le dije que dónde era la cocina para los huespedes y tampoco tenían cocina para huespedes, primera vez que veo esto en un hostal. También la ducha que tienen en la piscina es abierta, pero si uno ya hizo check out, es difícil ducharse y cambiarse, no tienen estos vestiers ni baños ni duchas fuera de las habitaciones

Excelente estadia e custo benefício, no coração de tudo.
Pros:

Excelente atendimento do time de Staff, simpáticos e atenciosos.
Localização privilegiada, a poucos passos da cidade emuralhada e dentro de Getsemani com vida noturna e cultural ampla. A saída dos passeios de barco também está ao lado, se faz tudo a pé.
Quarto que pegamos tinha ar condicionado muiiiiiito gelado, o que é ótimo em Cartagena e espaço amplo. Camas confortáveis, local muito cheiroso e limpo.

O bar e a piscina no rooftop são um charme a parte para os finais de tarde e início de noite.

Obrigado pela recepção e "hasta luego"!

Cons:

Tudo dentro do esperado, nada a reclamar.

Interesante opción calidad-precio
Pros:

Las habitaciones son cómodas, tienen lockers individuales, hay que llevar tu propio candado. Baño limpio. La azotea para tomar algo y la piscina con vistas a la piscina es lo mejor.

Cons:

Precio elevado del Pub Crawl y de los mojitos.
