Selina Cartagena

The hostel is located in a very central location, walkable to all attractions. The reception staff are exceptionally good, particularly Christian(!!!) who was very attentive and assisted us with our booking and change of room. The amenities and activities are worth exploring. The breakfast is also good, and would recommend pre purchasing.the air conditioning was a life a saver and so good to have after a day of exploring. The cleaning staff were also very good and friendly.

my reserved standard room in this hotel was very bad, very small ordinary and with no outside window. I said that I have clostrophobia and can not stay in a room without outside window. I wanted to change my room but they said that all standard rooms are same. They had only suite rooms with outside windows and they were all reserved that night. I think it was just painted and could not sleep because of the odor and the uncomfortable bed. Next day I have passed to suite room with paying nearly double but it worthed. Very nice, big, well furnished and very comfortable with even coffee machine; lovely like your house. I advice the guests to reserve the suit rooms only, in this hotel. The location was perfect for conference center and for sightseeing places and the staff was very kind. Also there was a library where I could have studied until I pass to my suite room.

Selina in general is amazing, have stayed the chain many times - different countries and always been great! The location was good, relatively close to downtown - easy to go (walking distance). Usually Selina is a bit pricy but worth it.

PERFECT LOCATION, in Getsemani and right by the old town (5min walk to old town). Lots of cafes, restaurants and bars nearby. The room was basic but very comfortable, nice to come back to freezing Aircon everyday after the hot day. The best breakfast we've had in Colombia, in a very beautiful setting on the rooftop bar, which also has a pool. Perfect if you are backpacking or visiting Cartagena for the first time.

Stayed 3 nights total, one night in the dorm and 2 in a private room. Dorms were spacious, quiet, and clean. The private room did not include a bathroom but the shared one was clean and it worked out really well. It was shared between 3 rooms total so the cleanliness probably is determined by who else is staying there, we managed to have clean and respectful bathroom mates. The room itself was very basic but had outlets near the bed. Had enough room for our stuff but it was tight. Fortunately, the area the hotel is located in is so active that you barely stay in your room. We loved the rooftop patio. It was spacious and the staff were attentive.
