We stay only one night but had a great time. The place is clean and has everything you need. Elizabeth at the front desk was awesome. She was so helpful with our flight plans and couldn't have done anything more. Much appreciated!!

This is the central, travellers hostel of Cartagena. It's a great location, it's got a good bar opposite, the rooms are quite cool in their own way, and the courtyard setting is very pretty. However....the staff are a little 'haphazard', it's run like a university dorm. They overcharged me, lost a record of me paying the deposit for my first... More

On the surface really a great place: impressive and beautiful buildings, great location in Getsemani and beatiful inside. But anyway, I have this feeling, that something's missing. And now I've found out. The staff doesn't seem to care a lot about your wellbeing...and I'm not talking about the local staff (the cleaners tec.). Media Luna seems to be run partly... More

For those of you who like live music, it doesn't even touch average. I entered the 'bar/club' after a friend paid the (overpriced) COP$10,000 entrance fee. Less than 5 minutes later, I expressed how I felt pressured to go into the bar by my friend to the two (apparently but not so) lovely entrance staff. Did they refund me? No.... More

To look at, the place is great, but it lacks a lot of atmosphere and space for people to be able to sit around and talk together.

beautiful luxury hostel exceelent location -near the old town. taxi to the beach. great restaurants nearby and exceelnt cafe and bar in the hostel. If this is full there is a nice enough hostel over the road too.

Didn't stay here, but booked a tour to the Mud Volcano through this hostel, was all very easy, and friendly helpful staff. Hostel looked nice, but didn't have private en-suite rooms which is what we wanted.

Pool was really nice, was really clean, but didn't have much atmosphere, was HUGE, and while billed as a party hostel, wasn't all that fun. I dunno, it was comfortable, had a really nice kitchen, enjoyed the pool, and the rooms were clean. But not much else going for it. Definitely nothing special, but nothing wrong with it either.

This is, fundamentally, the hostel that you want to go to if you like to party. The social area is excellent, with a dipping pool and 'Big Brother' style kitchen. There is a pool table and bar area where locals can mix with travellers (I like this - nice to not just be hanging with traveller the whole time and... More
