    I recently stayed at a charming hostel in Cartagena's historic district. The location was perfect, right inside the old walls, and felt safe and secure. The staff was wonderful, always helpful and friendly. I loved the keypad entry system, no need to worry about physical keys. The breakfast was delicious with options for cooked eggs, waffles, toast, fresh fruit, and coffee. The rooms were comfortable, with great air conditioning and hot showers. Sitting on the balcony at night and people-watching was a highlight. Plus, they recommended a great laundry service nearby. Highly recommended!

    100% Recommend this hotel.

    The value for money was excellent, and the room was cozy and clean. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the historic center. The staff at El Barrio Hostal were friendly and attentive.

    The only improvement that could be made with breakfast items is to have more variety.

    Great location in the heart of the city, easy to get around and explore. the staff was friendly and helpful, always willing to give recommendations and directions. the room was clean and had a comfortable bed.

    The noise from the street was extremely loud, especially at night. It made it difficult to get a good night's sleep.

    We got excellent value for our money at El Barrio Hostal. The room was spotlessly clean and the location, right in the heart of the old town, couldn't have been better. The staff treated us with kindness and were always helpful.

    More breakfast choices would have made the experience even better.

    Perfect location in the heart of the Old Town, close to all the action but on a quiet street. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was delicious with a good choice of eggs and waffles. The room was clean and comfortable, and the air conditioner worked well for a good night's sleep.

    The room we stayed in was a bit small, especially with two people and two backpacks. , the bathroom would flood every time we took a shower, even though the shower door was fully closed.

    I had a fantastic stay at a hostel in the heart of the old city. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room and bathroom were clean, and the shower had good pressure. They even provided shampoo and shower gel. I appreciated that they offered free filtered water and reusable water bottles to reduce waste. The location was excellent, with plenty of bars, restaurants, shops, and points of interest nearby. The beds were comfortable, and there were easily accessible plug sockets. The air conditioning worked perfectly and was not noisy at all.

    Nothing to complain about at all.

    I had an amazing stay at a cozy hostel right in the heart of the city. The location was perfect, with everything I wanted to explore just a few steps away. The staff were friendly and welcoming, always ready to offer assistance and recommendations. I loved the peaceful ambiance of the place, especially at night. The room was compact but comfortable, and the AC provided much-needed relief from the heat. The bathrooms were clean and well-stocked with toiletries. The hostel also provided unlimited drinking water, coffee, and fruit in the morning, which was a nice touch. Despite a few minor inconveniences, like a small room and occasional noise, the overall experience was exceptional. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a budget-friendly and relaxing stay in the area. I had a fantastic time and would definitely stay here again.

    The staff at this hostel were friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. the shared kitchen and fridge were a great bonus, allowing us to save money by cooking our own meals. the location of the hostel was perfect, right in the heart of the city with easy access to bars, shops, and points of interest.

    The rooms could be a bit cramped and stuffy at times, especially without any windows for ventilation. the beds were not the most comfortable, which made it difficult to get a good night's sleep.
