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).

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

We always write what we did like as well as what we didn't like so much. Onto the not so much to get to the AWESOME! We didn't like that the bed was just a little too hard for my taste. It worked, but a softer bed would have made it a 5. The rooftop bar was small and crowded, and pricey. We DID like, the pillows were comfy, the balcony. We had a private with a private bath, the shower was hot and huge, the outside balcony was a nice addition, it was quiet and we felt safe there. We would stay there again.

Came back to the hotel after a late night and was treated like trash by the staff. I was polite, showed my room key upon request even tho the front desk agent recognized me. Ok fine. He still treated me and my gf like trash. He was especially disrespectful to her. Maybe working nights has him in a bad mood. But in a dangerous area youd like to rely on the staff for help and not feel like theyre out to get you. And the pool is a dark dirty little pond.

In the middle of the walled city! Loved everything about our room- the bunk beds were large and comfortable. The room quickly cooled down even w the 85 humidity. Our balcony was shared but you hardly noticed your neighbors. They provide towels, have shampoo & body wash. It’s conveniently placed near pharmacy, clothes stores and coffee shops. The staff here are wonderful and helpful! The pool is small but def relaxing with the open roof. There’s no elevator, all stairs but that wasn’t an issue either. Breakfast was filling for us - eggs, toast and fruit! they also have a full bar and pizza, amazing pasta to order as well. Kid friendly as well. Just be mindful that you’re downtown - lots of noise, music, people and traffic. there’s a great nightlife here.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Included breakfast was simple but good/fresh. Property was in the middle of all the action. Room is quite warm during the day before the air-conditioning is turned on in the evening. Pictures on the site look a lot more vibrant than what you will see in person.
