Cartagena's ultimate party hostel is paradise for some and rather too much noise for others. Etched with a grand colonial feel, it's undoubtedly the hub of the backpacking scene in Getsemaní and a good place to meet the international bus set. Standout features include a big courtyard, a pool table and a roof terrace where fiestas kick off on Wednesday nights.
Rooms are generally clean and well kept, with crisp linens and good mattresses, and there's an ever-busy dipping pool surrounded by loungers, palms and pop-art murals.
