This lovely old building has potential but sadly it is in a bad state and filthy! The extended family all live there so all I can say is they have a very low level of cleanliness. The dorm is awful, the beds are horrible, it has no windows and the toilet area is very dirty and does not have a... More

we stayed for 4 nights at this colonial house or hostel whatever. The owner and the personnel were very kind and helpful. Yet, they could not speak foreign languages, so you have to speak spanish or sign language :) to understand each other. Fortunately, I speak spanish, so it worked for me. We stayed in the room sin aire or... More

We stayed here for 2 nights before checking out other hostels in the area. It was $45,000 COP for a private room for 2 with bathroom. We had heard that it was too hot to sleep without AC in Cartagena but we were fine in our room with the ceiling fan. When we arrived (evening with no booking) the older... More

He's always there to help, guide and provide anything you need to have a pleasant stay. He helped me to find a place to stay in my next destination. The main problem is the cleanliness of the...

The Worst hostel. Since Casa Vienna didn't have spare rooms, they kindly arranged a stay in Hostel Real around the corner. Rooms were stuffy, shower worked if you had plumbing skills, lounge area at ground floor had an annoying smell by human *****it. Our room was near the guest kitchen and once we found cockroaches all around we packed our... More
