It was a really quick business trip, but in general in enjoyed the hotel a lot, is an old restored colonial house, part of it is a hostel, there were a group of backpackers in a room with bunk beds. Miriam was really helpful before the arrival and Mr David in the night shift was very attentive also. Mi room... More

Nice, quiet, great location, great service, nice people, super clean... Is not a party hostel so you can actually rest, the staff makes you feel that you're at home, so far is my favorite Colombian hostel !

Stayed here for 2 nights in February 2013. Apparently the budget accommodation in Cartagena is generally pretty poor and this is one of the best of a bad bunch. For Cartagena it's probably quite a good option, but compared to hostels in other parts of Colombia it's overpriced and not very good, which is why we moved on after only... More

We really enjoyed our time at Chicheria. It can be hard to figure out the room configurations when using booking websites so here's the deal: you can stay in a mixed-gender dorm, a private room without its own bathroom (i.e., you share the hall bath with people staying in the dorm), or a private room with private bathroom. There are... More

Was slightly hesitant to stay in a hostel, as usually stick to hotels. It was a really good choice and enhanced my stay in Cartagena as I met so many really interesting travelers. Clean, cheap, safe and a good location. I stayed in the dorm but they do have a couple of private rooms.

Cartagena is hot, really hot. So, if you're a budget traveller, you'll appreciate the a/c in the hostel's 9-bed (plus loft) dorm. You'll also appreciate the friendly English-speaking staff, which are willing to go above and beyond to find information for you on Cartagena and other spots in Colombia. The small pool -- perfect for a quick dip or sitting... More

I really enjoyed the area of the hostel, it's in Cartegena de Indies. So easy to get around from there and see all you need to see. The staff are super kind and so available for help and to help you with whatever it is that you need. I never actually went in the pool, but I did spend times... More

This place is clean and quiet. Easy to walk to places and the staff is excellent and helpful. I ended up staying here longer because it was a nice break from big party hostels in South America. The pool is really small and I didn't go in... but it is there and one of the few I've seen where they... More

I recommend this hostal for different reasons: the price is good for cartagena, the place is well decorated, close to all the great places in the walled city. the staff was always helpfull, the bathrooms are private (1 person per room). I really enjoyed staying there, so, if you want a good place for a great price in cartagena, enjoy!
