Nice stay
We had a nice stay here. The staff were really friendly, the room was clean and it was in a good location. The pool is small and missing tiles but it’s nice to have when you need to cool down

Very historical, unique property. Good staff and restaurant, nice rooftop bar, free breakfast, convenient central location, modern air conditioning but a 224 year old building does show its age.

Great location and a beautiful hostel. The only things I didn’t like is that there were only 2 bathrooms per dorm and 1 toilet didn’t have a toilet seat

Black Mold
Location and price is amazing. Pizza parlor at the bottom is great, but this is not a clean hostel. We stayed in a private room and it had mold everywhere due to the air conditioner.

8/10 Very good

I had a private room and they were nice and clean. No hot water, only luke warm. The room is clean and comfy. The hostel can be pretty noisy and the street noise as well. Otherwise it was convenient to walk everywhere you should want to go in Cartagena.
Erin, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very friendly and helpful staff. Included breakfast was simple but good/fresh. Property was in the middle of all the action. Room is quite warm during the day before the air-conditioning is turned on in the evening. Pictures on the site look a lot more vibrant than what you will see in person.

10/10 Exceptional

Casa movida hostel is safe. there's amenities like pools, rooftops and pizzeria within their facilities that facilitates our life. The food is great! the staff is great! And, as a female solo traveler I felt safe and comfortable. The hostel has lockers for your security and its really comfortable! Only praises here!

They charge for everything, get a hotel if you are looking into getting their private rooms.

Nice Place No Frills
We had a single room to ourselves and cannot comment on the dorms. Others have stated the place is a little run down. It is. But it’s still nice. And our room was clean, no frills, and had an excellent A/C. It’s a hostel, not a 5 star boutique hotel. It was great for what we needed. The room was quiet. The whole place was quiet despite it being the holiday season and the whole of Bogota being at the coast for vacation. The pool is small. It’s not intended for laps. Be glad there is a pool at all in a hostel in Cartagena. It was clean and refreshing after a very hot day exploring the city. Another post mentioned it closing at 8PM. We were there well past that and were not asked to leave. We were very quiet. Not a large crowd. And we were not drinking or eating by the pool. Maybe that is why? The hostel is close to all the parts of the city that most visitors come to see. The clock tower, the port to catch a boat to the islands, Getsemani, and the museums of gold and the inquisiton. There are many places to eat and shop nearby as well. We felt safe the whole time. The city was very busy. People are helpful and the police were vigilant. There is no hot water. Not because there was something wrong. It is just a fact for most habitations along the coast of Colombia. The weather is such that you don’t really need a hot shower anyways.

2/10 Poor

They messaged me an hour or so before check-in that my room was not available and they were at capacity so would not be able to give me a different room. Totally ruined our trip as we had to scramble last minute to look for a place to stay
Ruth, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was a really great property and well done. It encompasses so many different things it’s kind of like a resort in the heart of the old city. Huge rooftop bar, restaurant, cool architecture, pool, community kitchen if you wanted. I’ve been to cartagena many times and have always stayed at the same hotel. Because of a concern I had which I cleared up with the other hotel, now has me questioning if Id want go back anyway. I’m impressed with casa movida and it’s tremendous value.
Daniel, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

We always write what we did like as well as what we didn't like so much. Onto the not so much to get to the AWESOME! We didn't like that the bed was just a little too hard for my taste. It worked, but a softer bed would have made it a 5. The rooftop bar was small and crowded, and pricey. We DID like, the pillows were comfy, the balcony. We had a private with a private bath, the shower was hot and huge, the outside balcony was a nice addition, it was quiet and we felt safe there. We would stay there again.

10/10 Exceptional

This Hostel is right in the middle of the Cartegena activities . It’s a very quick walk to the Clock Tower . There are superb dining and night life options. I felt safe inside . The room was clean with the rainforest shower . Diego and the entire front desk staff were very nice and knew English. You do have to walk up stairs because there is no elevator. That didn’t bother me . There is no window in the room I stayed in . Breakfast was included. I really enjoyed the fresh cooked arepas with pineapple jam . Mama’s Pizza is part of the property and the Pizza was thin crust and tasty . There is a 24 hour pharmacy across the street.
