- Very helpful staff to answer questions and give us recommendations, with at least one person available 24/7 at reception. - Food is great and varied, at a reasonable price. I quite liked that breakfast always included a bit of fruit. - Location is very central - They charged me twice without me noticing, and they were transparent and serious to tell me that and return the money. - They have a quick laundry service at a reasonable price. - They have portable water and coffee available at all times. - The property is pretty. - The rooftop is quite pretty and good to relax at the end of the day.

Hotel pacifico e tranquillo, con staff gentile ed estremamente di aiuto e alla mano. -- Cozy and family run hotel in a great location. Room was spacious and comfortable room with great AC, hammocks and rocking chairs in the homely lounge area. The couple who run this hostel really care. They helped us contact the police when we were unfortunately targeted by a scam on a beach in the outskirts of Cartagena, and their assistance helped us get out of things safe and evade the scam.

- Avg. price/night: £72.798.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 1,094 reviewsThis is probably one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at, and I've stayed at many. The location is amazing, the staff is lovely, the dorms are great and well equipped (curtains on beds, AC, own power plug and light by bed, locker), there are social areas to hang out, the breakfast is great and there is someone at reception 24/7, so it's very safe. There's even a Netflix room. And the cats are sweet. I was even able to use the pool and shower before check-in, as I arrived early.
