Unfortunately, when you get a private room, you don't get use of the wifi. The network is not even available in your room, they tell you to come downstairs to use it. So i spent a lot of time in the outdoor lobby, it was the only way i was able to work and plan.
I also didn't have access to the breakfasts they have going on in the mornings for those staying in dorms.
The bathroom in my room was beautiful
A cool space and great location but unfortunately I had a few issues. The electricity and water kept going out which made it very uncomfortable in the heat of Cartagena. There were only 3 bathrooms for a very large dorm and I needed to queue for the bathroom (when the water/electricity was working).
I chose to move to a different hostel because I was so uncomfortable and requested a refund for the second night. This was denied because at the time of asking the electricity and water were on and they didn't see what the problem was.
Hostel is in a really central location in the old town. We stayed one night here in a double in a dorm, however it was a very uncomfortable stay, the bed was up 3 sets of narrow stairs in the main dorm room so it was a pain carrying bags up, going to bathroom etc. The bed was so uncomfortable, mattress was on a slant, creaky - we both woke up the next morning with sore neck and backs. The staff here unfortunately arent that pleasant or helpful and didnt speak english
Had a good stsy overall and it was good value. It was pretty loud in the dorm rooms until midnight as they play music in the social space, also my ved was next to a huge air conditioning unit. Saying that it was nice to feel a bit more privacy than a normal dorm with some of the beds up on platforms which are curtained off. A food place if you want to party as you are right in the middle of all the clubs.
The hostel itself does look good and is a comfortable stay. I was disappointed to be advised at check in that the bar/restaurant is actually in a different building down the street, and that there is actually no laundry at the hostel despite it's description.
My main issue however was that whilst there is a 24hour reception, on the first night of my stay the doors to the hostel were padlocked (for security) but the receptionist went to sleep and couldn't be woken from outside the hostel. I was then stuck on the street with another of the hostel guests after midnight with nowhere safe to go being harrassed by people on the street. Thankfully after half an hour other guests from the hostel were leaving so managed to wake up reception to let us in. A terrifying first night in Columbia.
