Viajero Hostel Cartagena Reviews

El Viajero Hostel Cartagena is in a relatively central location and would fit into the "party hostel" category. The hostel doesn't have any stand-out features and has an average atmosphere.

The Location

The majority of hostels in Cartegena are broadly located in either the historical centre or Getsemani. This hostel is located on the edge of the historical centre on a quiet street. There are a couple of shops around, but the main buzz of the historical centre is a five- to ten-minute walk away. This street does get quite quiet at night and the neighborhood feels relatively safe.

The airport is around thirty-minutes away and the main bus terminal is around thirty to sixty minutes depending on traffic. The port is around a fifteen-minute walk away. The hostel is not on one of the main streets, so taxi drivers may need some assistance with directions.

Rooms and Bathrooms

The road are relatively spacious and the dorms have fans in the room for the humid nights. The bunk beds are basic and sheets are provided for guests to make the bed themselves. The plug sockets are located away from most of the beds. The rooms face into a courtyard, but there is not too much noise coming in at night.

The bathrooms have cubicles and a shared sink area with a mirror. They are clean and well stocked, but are a walk away from most rooms. The showers are in a separate room and have a cold shower with ok water pressure. There are hooks to hang up clothes.

Common Spaces

There is seating by the main reception, but this is mostly empty except for breakfast. As you enter, there is a long and narrow, rectangular courtyard with deck chairs. The layout means there is a long line of them and so it is not particularly social.

The bar area of El Viajero is nice with a well-stocked bar and some seating. There is a courtyard area here as well where salsa classes are held. For a party hostel, the atmosphere is a bit lacking and there are more lively party hostels in Cartagena in better locations.

Summary

El Viajero Hostel has ok facilities and common spaces, but lacks the vibrant party atmosphere you'd expect from this kind of hostel.
