    Pricves in the bar could have been a bit lower - I paid for a can of beer in the hostel more that I dod in the bar on the street. Otherwise it's a great place to stay!!!!

    Very nice and friendly hostel I stayed in 4ppl female dorm with a private bathroom. Pretty big hostel with a kitchen and a rooftop bar. Great hostel activities. Boart party was fun! Everyone was friendly! Mango in reception was super friendly! The guy who took careof us during the activities was amazaing aswell! The hostel is located 5minutes walk from the mait square and about7minutes walk from the park where You can see sloths. Easy so socialise and meet people in the bar area!

    Loved this accommodation, can’t recommend it enough. Staff is really friendly and helpful. Dorms are clean and spacious. The activities are great! Definitely recommend to do the walking tour with Elis, and also a shout out to Cesar for the daytrip to Tierra Bomba. Both had such a good energy.

    The room smelled a bit musty. I guess due to the humid climate it's hard to keep the ambient dry, we only stayed two nights but I guess on a longer stay could be annoying (especially since there's no real solution to this)

    We had a great stay at Los Patios and would gladly come back! The hostel is perfectly located in a lively area, without being noisy. The staff is welcoming and always available, several activities are offered on each day of the week. Terrace rooftop bar is very cute. Temperature in Cartagena is quite hot, it was great to have A/C in our room. There's no breakfast service, but a big, equipped communal kitchen is at disposal of the guests.

    Crowd is primarily 20-30 year olds, so a bit young for me

    Excellent location, friendly staff. The location really does it - right in the middle of the best part of Getsemani Los Patios is somewhat similar to the Selina chain of hostels: dorm or private room with ensuite offerings with an easy going boutique hotel style with a focus on group activities such as walking tours and bar crawls. It is clean and well managed.

Everything in this hostel is nearly perfect: The location is in the heart of Getsemani (no noise though), The staff is extremely friendly and helpful (i directly felt at home), the rooms are really clean and the organised activities are all worth it.

    Drinks at the bar of the terrace were a bit on the higher price and don't expect much of the pool/hottub. It was fine for us though.

    Room was very spacious and comfortable! Staff was friendly. Location perfect. Nice terrace on the top floor. Free walking tour was great, the guide (Elise) was so enthusiastic!

    This hostel is the best I've ever had. The staff is super friendly and fun, there are a lot of activities you can attend and get to know other travelers. The dorm is spacious and clean. In the hostel they provide coffee for free all day, they have an air con cafe at the entrance, hammock on 2nd floor, kitchen on 3rd floor and pool &lounge area and rooftop bar on 4th floor. Will definitely go back on my next Cartagena travel.

    Found some hairs in the bed. No window in the room. No drinking water available for guests, should be included for this price and would also align more with the so called sustainability goals of Los Patios (since everyone is now buying plastic water bottles). Staff was very welcoming, however when we requested a taxi for 4.30 am the reception guy said we could do so 5 minutes up front and the security guy would call for us. Later on in the evening I double checked with another lady at the front desk (who was laying with her feet on the desk), she said this was not possible at all. Did not seem very helpful.

    Great location, very central. Nice rooftop with jacuzzi and bar. Welcoming drink and lots of activities.

    Almost got locked out at night because of a shift change, the issues was quickly figured out though.

    Los Patios in Cartagena is super comfortable and a great place to meet new people! Easy to navigate to and from when walking around the city. Their AC'd rooms are killer and saver throughout the day and night. The staff was wonderful and very helpful with any issues!

    The entire AC system in the hostel failed for the entire night. It was absolutely impossible to sleep at all, and in the morning they didn’t offer so much as an apology. The double rooms are absolutely tiny. I was alone so there was just enough room for me, but it would be impossible with two people and two sets of luggage. The bedding on the the duvet was two bed sheets, which was kinda gross as the duvet was visible and as they’re not washed it was very unhygienic with blood stains etc.

    The location is great and it’s got plenty of communal spaces. The staff are excellent and it’s super clean.

    Although we really liked that the hostel celebrates international women’s day, it would be even more great if they can fix the toilet doors so everyone can enjoy privacy and in that way feel safe while traveling ;-)

    Perfect location!! This hostel is a really nice spot to connect with other travelers. The staff is super helpfull and friendly and very active and enthousiastic. They offer a free welcome drink, salsa class and game night and also celebrate special days like international women’s day. Although the pool is tiny, it’s nice to do siësta in there (or enjoy the stunning sunset with view over the city). There’s also a clean kitchen and plenty of space to relax. Dorms are small but clean and practical with good aircondition.

    Friendly and social hostel in the heart of Getsemani. Fantastic place for those traveling alone
    • Leisure trip

    While the pool itself is a bit small, the rest of the facilities of the rooftop patio made up for it. Lots of loungers and chairs and even a rooftop bar. Our only complaint is that the private rooms are very small! It would be fine if you are traveling alone, but I was traveling with my cousin. We are very close and good travellers together, but the space is just very small. The only other thing is that there isn't a fan in the bathroom, so the tiny room gets pretty damp after a shower. It is crucual to keep the AC on "dry" instead of "cool" (it still will cool the room on this setting)

    Los Patios is a great place to stay in Cartagena, especially if you are traveling alone and looking to meet some friends along the way. Everyone who worked at this hostel was unbelievable friendly and helpful - some of the best staff I've ever encountered at a hotel/hostel. Julie in particular was absolutely phenomenal and a wealth of knowledge about Cartagena and the surrounding area. There were a lot of travellers working remotely staying here (myself being one of them) and I can see why. The internet was super fast and there were so many places to sit and work in the communal areas. There is a shared kitchen with a large fridge for those staying for longer durations. The staff put on events every evening like salsa dancing or karaoke. The guests were some of the friendliest out of anywhere we stayed, but I think that is in part to the staff creating a great culture there. Would highly recommend!

    The room I was in - at the end of the corridor downstairs - was next to some kind of machinery - it was pretty loud and annoying - waking me up at about 5am. If I hadn’t been a bit drunk on the first two nights - I’d have complained. But by the third night it felt too late to say anything. I’d recommend getting it sorted somehow.

    Lovely place. Lovely people. Great location on main road but not noisy. Great pool on roof to cool off. Liked the vibe - not as big/busy as other similar places so it felt a bit more intimate and easier to meet people.
