Set in La Boquilla, a few steps from La Boquilla Beach, Nativo Kite House offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a bar. The property is around 2.5 km from Crespo Beach, 7.8 km from Cartagena's Walls and 8.1 km from Steps of La Popa Mount. Palace of the Inquisition is 8.7 km from the hostel and San Felipe de Barajas Castle is 8.7 km away.

Lovely place in the chill La Boquilla neighborhood! I used it to combine kitesurfing with working remote. They have their own kiteschool which makes it very easy to take lessons/rent gear. The wind/conditions are great in season. The internet/facilities are fine for working and ample space for yoga etc.. There is also a nice kitchen, decent grocery store (across the street), and a 'public gym' within walking distance ✌️ I ended up staying longterm for about 10 weeks 🤙 Ama, Dey and Gloria thank you so much for your hospitality 🙏

The peaceful Casa Torices is located in Cartagena de Indias just 1 km from the beach where you can enjoy a variety of activities, and 500 metres from the transport services to Santa Marta and Barranquilla. Free WiFi access is available in this homestay.

The pool was awesome, big and nice. The room was nice and new, AC and WiFi worked perfectly. The host Diana was extremely helpful and nice. They allowed us to leave our bag meanwhile we went to the island for couple of days (while in other places in Cartagena they usually charge for it). Recommended!

The host was fantastic, and the place was close to everywhere I wanted to go. The beach is only four blocks away, and I was able to walk from the house, along the beach, to the old Walled City in about 20 minutes. The room even had a private little balcony for my personal use. Lex was right there waiting for me, and even received me with a cold beer. I am looking forward to staying there again: great location, great host, rear balcony, spacious kitchen, huge common room, and ice cold air conditioner.

Featuring barbecue facilities, the hostel is close to several noted attractions, around 2 km from Crespo Beach, 1.4 km from San Felipe de Barajas Castle and 1.8 km from Cartagena's Walls.

The staff were amazing! You immediately feel right at home. They had really friendly and well-cared for rescue dogs and cat, so it's the perfect place for traveling animal lovers who don't have pets. It's outside of the walled city, which I liked because it means you're not getting harassed by vendors, and you geta taste of the real Cartegena. Nice outdoor space with plenty of tables and hommocks. Quiet neighborhood.

Casona La Espanola is located in Cartagena de Indias. Free WiFi access is available.

Some rooms here will provide you with air conditioning, a balcony and a terrace. There is a full a kitchenette with a dishwasher and a microwave. We provide private and shared bathrooms.

In a safe private gated community, huge bed and comfortable kitchen, nice bathroom with a decent shower, with cute dogs around and good AC. 20 min walk to the centre, Ubers are cheap to use too, I mostly used Ubers. Miguel is a very helpful and responsive owner, he set up ESPN on the TV for some work I had to do, and checked the apartment for some items I had lost many hours after I checked out. Great value, probably the best apartment you can get close to central Cartagena for this price.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Right by the beach and it is a great beach with nobody hassling you. Kite house is great value for money. Cheap and it is a decent enough bed for a night or two in the dorm. Kitchen facilities and a supermarket across the street are big plus. The staff were fantastic. So friendly and helpful. Laundry service was great.
