10/10 Exceptional

La Casa Movida Hostal est un endroit fort sympathique et parfaitement bien situé afin d’explorer Cartagena à pieds. L’accueil y est excellent et le rapport qualité prix est difficile à battre. Le restaurant italien à même l’auberge sert aussi de très bons plats à prix raisonnable (pour Cartagena).

8/10 Very good

This place wasn’t 5 star living but I would definitely stay here again based off value. Pizza spot in the lobby was absolutely amazing. Probably some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. Only thing is it’s a hostel so you need to take a shower sooner than later to still have hot water.

6/10 Good

Location is good, everything is near by. Almost all of the staff not helpful, not attentive, didn’t give clear information. The men were were more attentive. Received an email from the hotel regarding our check inn indicating that image of our passports was needed, so we didn’t bring them and it was requested, so we had to take an Uber back and forth to get our passports invested time and money, no apologies for this inconvenient we’re given. At breakfast the food safety of the cook was not proper and the service as well not adequate. At the roof top were given wrong information and when we asked if we could bring drinks from the fridge of the hotel they never came back with an asset. Our room on the first night of the stay the bed was not made, and only one roll of toilet paper was in the room, the sink didn’t work well, and the soap of the bathtub was only water. And in the room there was no trash can. The minifridge was great as well as the prices.

Nice stay

We had a nice stay here. The staff were really friendly, the room was clean and it was in a good location. The pool is small and missing tiles but it’s nice to have when you need to cool down

2/10 Poor

They messaged me an hour or so before check-in that my room was not available and they were at capacity so would not be able to give me a different room. Totally ruined our trip as we had to scramble last minute to look for a place to stay

Very historical, unique property. Good staff and restaurant, nice rooftop bar, free breakfast, convenient central location, modern air conditioning but a 224 year old building does show its age.

10/10 Exceptional

This Hostel is right in the middle of the Cartegena activities . It’s a very quick walk to the Clock Tower . There are superb dining and night life options. I felt safe inside . The room was clean with the rainforest shower . Diego and the entire front desk staff were very nice and knew English. You do have to walk up stairs because there is no elevator. That didn’t bother me . There is no window in the room I stayed in . Breakfast was included. I really enjoyed the fresh cooked arepas with pineapple jam . Mama’s Pizza is part of the property and the Pizza was thin crust and tasty . There is a 24 hour pharmacy across the street.

Black Mold

Location and price is amazing. Pizza parlor at the bottom is great, but this is not a clean hostel. We stayed in a private room and it had mold everywhere due to the air conditioner.

8/10 Very good

I had a private room and they were nice and clean. No hot water, only luke warm. The room is clean and comfy. The hostel can be pretty noisy and the street noise as well. Otherwise it was convenient to walk everywhere you should want to go in Cartagena.
