Coccoloba Hostel

The personal and the pizza restaurent in the hostels

The pool wasn’t working, no plug-in in the bedroom, no keys or digitize for the gate, we should call out load and hoping someone to hear you (perfect when you come back at night !) and most of the lights are not working ! Very disappointed when you see the potential of the place

Not one for doing bad reviews or reviews at all for that matter. But here we go... First the good bits... - The staff are nice and friendly, they speak English well. - The pizza is great and at a good price. - The price of accomodation is... Meh. Now the bad... - This feels very much like an ilagitemate business. Description is terribly misleading. Quote: "each room is fitted with balcony with sea views" it doesnt and "each room is equiped with a patio and pool view" which doesnt. - 18 beds crammed in a room, in which the staff actually slept in aswel. Air con was only used at there convenience. - Our beds had no electric sockets, there wasn't really anywhere safe to leave your device on charge. - Dormitory door does not close properly which should as it contains the property of the guests staying there, the street is very loud. Just plane the door slightly at the top, Lord knows you have enough dollar. - Light in bathrooms is sensor activated and turns off if your having a shower. I had to constantly open the door and wave at the sensor in the nude. Fun! - Guests and staff would stroll in at all hours with no regards to anyone trying to sleep. Chatting away like they were in a social area. (Maybe to be expected from guests but not staff) - Someone drank our unopened water from the fridge within 2 hours of being there. -There's more but prob just knit picking. -This review is just my honest opinion and feel if considered could greatly help the Hostels business and customers well being. This didn't spoil our time spent in Cartagena as it is a beautiful place within the walled city. Mic drop

The pizza

Bathrooms

It's a little far from the old center of Cartagena. You need a cab to go there every time. A/C was not working. There was a ventilator but it wasn't enough. It was too hot in the night, didn't have a great sleep. Also did not feel 100% safe as the door was always open and anyone could just get in the room from outside at day and night.
