Guest Reviews
- Julian andres (8/5): -
- Linares (3/5): - El trato
- Guadalupe (10/5): - Muy lindo y acogedor.
- Meike (6/5): Für eine Nacht ok - - nettes Personal
- soweit sauber
- Lage in Ordnung wenn man einen späten oder frühen Flug hat (man könnte theoretisch zum Flughafen laufen) - sehr heiß im Zimmer, und der Ventilator ist so laut, dass man entweder vor Hitze oder vor Lautstärke nicht schlafen kann
- Mini-Bad (wenn man das Bad nennen kann)
- Kühlschrank ist zwar da, aber kühlt nicht
- sehr schwierig zu finden und steile enge Treppen nach oben zum Hostel (am besten kein schweres Gepäck dabei haben)
- komische Umgebung, habe mich nicht wohlgefühlt und auch keine Touristen gesehen
- Gebühr, wenn man mit Karte zahlen will
- Juan (7/5): -
- Herrera (10/5): -
- linares Acosta (10/5): - Su dueño es una persona muy servicial y atento Todo muy bueno
- Cintia (7/5): - Me gustó que pudimos cambiarnos a una habitación con aire acondicionado, el mismo día que llegamos. Lo agradecimos mucho. No me gustó que dos noches no tuvimos agua para poder bañarnos, y siempre nos bañabamos en la noche porque salíamos muy temprano, felizmente la segunda noche si se pudo solucionar y nos pudimos bañar. Fue muy incomodo porque solo queríamos bañarnos y dormir. Por otro lado estábamos muy lejos del centro, así que gastamos mucho en pasajes y el lugar no se veía tan seguro.
- noremberg (10/5): Ideal - Tranquilo Todo bien
- Arias Jaramillo (9/5): - La entrada que era el sitio donde nos sentamos a recibir la brisa del aire
- Laura (8/5): - Nice and friendly host. Nice atmosphere. Beautiful colors and good kitchen facilities! We had our own room, which was nice compared to the cheap price. The water was un/off and we had to do Uber to get to town, but it was cheap
- Lorenzon (6/5): -
- Doris (2/5): We zijn gelijk vertrokken. - De kamer + badkamer die wij geboekt hadden was niet beschikbaar toen we aankwamen in de avond. We werden naar een ander huis gebracht wat erg grimmig aanvoelde, niet fris was, en waar we geen eigen badkamer hadden. We zijn gelijk weer vertrokken. De buurt voelde ook onveilig aan. Toen we dit meldden hebben we geen reactie gekregen.
- Laura (5/5): - El trato muy buena persona quien nos recibió La zona el ambiente y compartir baño
- María Constanza (5/5): - Estaba limpio y nos guardaron las mochilas cuando llegamos La ubicación es cercana al aeropuerto, pero el precio del uber es casi lo mismo desde la zona turística. El entorno se veía peligroso. Era imposible estar sin aire acondicionado y tuvimos que pagar extra. Además hubo un corte de agua y no nos avisaron, tuvimos que bañarnos con un balde
- Johann (8/5): -
- Lucía (8/5): - El hotel muy lindo y cómodo. La cocina es re cómoda. Hay poca gente y eso está bueno. La cocina equipada. Elvis es lo más. Y su perrita también. Abajo hay almacenes. Limpio y cómodo. La ubicación no es muy buena. Es cerca del aeropuerto pero lejos del centro. Nosotras nos movimos exclusivamente en Uber porque era feo para caminar y tomar un bus.
- Rubianes (8/5): -
- Fredy (9/5): - El colchón y el aire acondicionado son muy buenos La presión del agua no es suficiente para vaciar el baño ni para bañarse cómodamente. Bandera de israel.
- Jade (8/5): - Il y a une petite terrasse avec un hamac, de quoi se détendre après une journée à visiter la ville. Ce n’est pas le quartier historique mais vous êtes à 45 minutes à pied ou à 15 minutes en taxi, et vous pouvez manger pour peu cher dans le quartier. Il fait chaud dans les chambres car c’est petit mais largement supportable pour passer 2 nuits

- Delleuze (2/5): J’ai changé d’hôtel des le premier jour - Acceuil, Elvis est un hôte très gentil L’emplacement. Zone tres dangereuse meme sans donner de papaye
- Vincent (6/5): Decent accomodation not the best location - Good price. I was able to wash some stuff by hand. Very nice owner Didnt feel like the safest environment due to other guests. Hot in the room and the fan was very loud for the little wind it generated, also very dusty.
- Tatiana (10/5): ¡La calidez y la amabilidad en un solo lugar! - Elvis es el ser humano más maravilloso que Cartagena nos pudo presentar, Elvis es excelente anfitrión con una calidez y amabilidad únicas... El hostal es muy bonito, muy acogedor, privado y se siente como en casa, las indicaciones, las instalaciones, las instrucciones siempre fueron acertadas.Sin duda volveremos a hospedarnos en Shalom Adonai mil veces y con Elvis... ¡Eres el mejor y gracias por tanto!. No hay nada que no nos gustara... ¡Todo excelente!.
- jessica tatiana (9/5): - La atención del muchacho muy servicial y atento
- Elsa (8/5): - Personnel très accueillant et toujours là si on a besoin d’aide. Établissement à l’étage, on est donc un peu à l’écart de la route. Chambre propre. Cuisine bien équipée et accessible à tout moment.
- Susana (6/5): - Cuarto privado estaba limpio y ordenado, el encargado muy amable siempre Poca presión de agua y complicaba la ducha y era muy incomodo, y el llenado del tanque del vater se demoraba muchísimo, esta un poco lejos del centro
- Greta (7/5): Simple pero ok - Todo ok, simple. No super limpio.
- betancur españa (10/5): -
- Gerardo (3/5): - No me gustó el aseo fatal afuera un basurero completo.
- Dzintars (6/5): -
- gomez (5/5): - Buen trato del personal, muy amables. Difícil de encontrar, ya que no tiene un letrero como tal, la zona no es muy segura, sin embargo hay un caí de policía en frente del mismo. Las instalaciones no están como en las fotos, ya se ven bastante deterioradas, la cama es muy incómoda y en el baño no se hizo limpieza.
- Ferrari (9/5): - El trato con el personal
- Francisco (9/5): - The manager is a very nice speaks politely and all rooms , loby was always be clean
- Javiera Paz (10/5): - La hospitalidad que oferece, me senti como en casa , elegí este hostal para mi última noche por la cercania al aeropuerto y me sorprendió positivamente, Incluso me voy arrepentida de no haberme quedado todos los días en este lugar, tiene un punto de polícias justo enfrente del hostal, negocio, Panadería y farmácia abajo del mismo, si bien es pequeñito el lugar, está muy bien distribuído y la habitación era bastante amplia e impecable. una decoración preciosa. Me voy contentisima, volveria encantada y me hospedaria solo aqui, estuve en bocagrande los otros dias y los precios en todo eran mucho mas elevados (desde un agua hasta el almuerzo y el hospedaje), aqui estaba todo a precio de pueblo y no de turista.
Si bien el lugar no es tan turístico (andan solo personas de por ahí en los alrededores), no lo encontré nada peligroso,se ve harta polícia rondando el lugar. Todo perfecto.
- Natalia Trujillo (9/5): -
- JOHANA ECHAVARRIA (10/5): - La atención del lugar es excelente, muy amable y atento en todo momento. El lugar es muy central para movilizarse a cualquier parte
- Rafal (8/5): - Wszystko w porządku
- Claudia (10/5): Gratitud - Todo Un poco la ubicación, pero nada grave
- Charlene (10/5): - Un buen barrio en las afueras de la cartagena turistica, cerca del aeropuerto. Pet friendly, el chico que atiende muy amable.
- Lina Olmos (10/5): -
- Trilleros (10/5): Lugar muy agradable y servicial - Muy amables y serviciales, nos asesoraron y brindaron mucha seguridad.
Alrededor hay mucho comercio económico
- Doris (6/5): - Excelente atención todos muy atentos todo muy limpio Tenían los ventiladores dañados por lo tanto tocó aire ( me da reuma ) así que me incremento el costo
- Luis Miguel (9/5): - Le personnel était très gentil et pret a rendre service
La chambre était confortable et spacieuse L'emplacement un peu loin du centre.
Le wifi se coupe souvent du a des baisses de tensions mais sinon rien de spéciale tout était parfait.
- Andreina (9/5): - La limpieza del lugar y el anfitrión
Super amable Todo bien
- marquez urzola (10/5): -

- Sophie (9/5): Superb -
- Sophie (10/5): Great value for money, would stay again - Great value for money, lovely reception, great staff Very basic, fan rather than ac, hostel hard to find from street
- César (8/5): Very good -
- Arthur (10/5): Exceptional -
- Yuxiyux1 (10/5): Exceptional - Really attentive, friendly staff, easy taxi to center, lots of local food around.
- Marisol (10/5): Exceptional -
- Amos (8/5): Very good -
- Sebastian (9/5): Nice and cheap. - Nice Hostel. We had private room with fan. Was nice. Wifi didnt work, and there was dog poo in the common area.
- Séréna (8/5): Very good - the place is beautiful, the neighborhood is cool, and the host is so kind and helpful!! A lot of noise during the night but it’s part of the experience
- Verónica (10/5): It was really great, we did have a good time at the property and the staff was always friendly! - It was very clean, it also had a fan, there are two more places in the property where you can chill, the host was super friendly so like the two cute dogs! It’s far from tourist places, there’s no much to do around the place but it’s okay for the price.
- Maxime (7/5): Good -
- Marco (7/5): Ok, but there is better for the same price - Mattress comfortable
Staff available
WiFi working properly
Impeccable cleaning
Nice sitting room for eating
Kitchen well furnished
Quiet to sleep Location far from the town center
Shower working a little and in 5 minutes the water run out
No legs space for the toilet place
The room is not fully closed and mosquito may enter
Room very humid even with the fan
The tap in the kitchen is broken
- Ciabhan (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful and well decorated. Very hospitable, kind and helpful host
- Timothy (10/5): comfortable budget-friendly place in a local neighbourhood - nice, calm little hostel with very friendly staff. they make sure you have everything you need. it's clean. basic kitchen and fridge to use. fast wifi. two common areas to chill. tap water is fine to drink.
the neighbourhood has a lot of food options to offer. local bars, bakery, street vendors in the evening around. felt very safe, manny friendly local people around, not typical touristy for sure.
for 3'000 COP per person you can take a taxi comunal (shared) which takes you easily to the city center or back in about 15min or less. to come back with the taxi, just say "Parque de Lemaitre" (across the street it's the hostel). no towels included.
- Mathieu (5/5): Passable - Elvis was a really helpful host that tried his best to give us the best experience and answer our questions. Our private room was adequate, small, but all the amenities were there. The common rooms and kitchen are small, but appropriate. Gates are locked at night and which feel secure. I think the value is acceptable for what we received. A few things can be seem as bothersome or you might barely mind it. Two cute dogs lives in the hostel, but one of them has a nasty habit to pee in the common area. The pressure in the shower was pretty lackluster, but it worked and it depends just how much you care about this.
Now, the main reason why I am giving such a low rating is 100% because of the location and the horrible experience we experienced about 100 meters from the hostel. It is located in a poorer part of Cartagena, and unfortunately in late afternoon, at a busy time of the day with 50+ eyewitnesses, my wife was attacked by a man with a small knife, trying to rob her. She sustained non serious injuries, but obviously this attack during daylight shocked us. In fairness, right away a car stopped and was ready to take her to the hospital, and a few second later, an amazing nurse stopped to give her first-aid treatment. The police was also on the scene in about a minute.
Although someone trying to rob a tourist is obviously not unheard of in Colombia, the violence of it seems to be an exception, as we discuss with the employees at the pharmacy, situated mere meters from the hostel.
Although this experience didn’t occur at the hostel itself, I felt it would of been disingenuous to not include it in my review, as location is often an important part to choosing an accommodation
- Leon (8/5): Very good - Super friendly hosts Super hot without air conditioning in Cartagena
- Jessica (10/5): Clean, safe room in a local neighborhood with great hosts - Hosts were amazing, friendly and welcoming but also gave me space/privacy to work. Clean, safe room with a fan and next door to a small store and bakery, located in a more local neighborhood within a 15 minute walk to Playa Marbella. Location was a little frustrating due to taxis charging 20,000 COP from the centro, but mototaxis only cost 8,000.
- Valentin (8/5): Very good - The room with A/C was clean and good. The location is not the most interesting
- Felix (10/5): Exceptional - Super nice hostel, small and cozy and super friendly family.
- Vidal (10/5): Exceptional -
- Woodward (5/5): Passable - Nice guy running the hostel. Kept it very clean. Very hot despite the ventilator. Very far from the center.
- Rupert (10/5): Exceptional - Everything..,
Superb little kitchen with microwave that you can use.
It's 15 mins walk to the airport
WiFi - Exceptional
The price is - Superb
The owner is an extremely accommodating guy. Very helpful indeed
Bathroom - Immaculate
Shops only across the road for food
Beds - Extremely comfortable
Oooh and there AC in the rooms.
Simply perfect Nothing to add.
- Ldnbren (9/5): Great stay, great staff - The staff where friendly and amazing. The location was also great. It is in a proper local Colombian barrio so all things needed was close by and close enough to the tourist things as well I'm a big boy so the toilet space was a little small
- James (4/5): Disappointing - Staff were friendly, option of aircon at a cost (needed), clean and there's a little fat dog Beds were uncomfortable, the location is very bad and there's only one toilet. All of this would have been okay, but our stay was kind of ruined because on our second night we tried to leave and found that the whole hotel had been locked and there was no one there. We tried to get in touch with staff but no one answered. This made us feel really unsafe as there was metal bars on all windows and doors so there was literally no way out if a fire started. This was made even worse by the fact we had no water and couldn't even go and get some. I do not think its okay to lock guests into a hostel with no way out.
- Elena (10/5): Exceptional -
- Natalia (8/5): Great and cheap place to enjoy Cartagena - The hostel is based just a short ride (10 mins) from the airport and (20 mins) from the old town. There’s quite a few shops around to get water and a snack. Elvis is an amazing host, very cheerful and helpful. There’s two cute dogs at the property and a lovely terrace where you can just chill in the evening. There’s no laundry services and the street noise can be quite loud but if you’re not a light sleeper you’ll be alright!
- Manon (6/5): Good value and near airport - Very kind staff
Clean and quiet
15 min walk from the the airport (don’t walk at night) They charge you 30 000 COP for AC and the rooms are unbreathable without
The kitchen is very small
- Pulido (10/5): Exceptional -
- Laura (6/5): Pleasant - It is a very cute Hostel with amazing dorms and decoration, a super kitchen, terasse and comon areas. When we got there we had to pay more for a different room since the one we booked was already ocupied and on top of that they charge you extra just for AC, something we never had to do in any other hostel before that.
- Nicholas (8/5): Very good - Hostel was great room was good only a 10 min taxi to the old town I would definitely recommend this hostel when in Cartagena great value for money 😊
- Willem (8/5): Very good - Very good and friendly host. Well equiped kitchen!
- Gómez (7/5): Good - We liked the attention of the staff We didn't like a bad smell that was coming from the street and the music noise coming as well from the street.
- Ortega (10/5): Exceptional - Excelente customer service , the host is a kind and friendly person
- David (8/5): Very good -
- Cassie (8/5): Close to airport - Cute dogs. Staff was great. We had a problem with our ATM card and couldn't get money at the airport. They had no problem letting us pay the next day. They do take credit with a 6% fee. They could use a sign. Look for the yellow second story building. However the owner was watching for us.
- Alvin (8/5): Very good -
- Ania (9/5): super! - Hosts were super kind, clean and nice place🌞 a bit far from the centre
- Mayra (10/5): Exceptional - The host was really nice. He helped us in everything and gave us the best advices. The place was clean and beautiful ❤️. Really love it. Also, the hotel is located in a good area with 24/7 restaurants, drugstore and convince stores.
