At San Felicin you get a great value for your buck. The place is outstanding for the price that you pay. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The blocks directly around the hotel is not what one would call “touristic”, but if you can tolerate walking 2 blocks of “regular,high traffic streets” you will be at some of the best places in Cartagena.

Staff was very nice and helpful. The hostel is a cheap alternative to upper end hotels and quieter than lodgings in Barrio Getsemani. There was a water pressure problem which made a shower impossible one of the days.

Hospedagem regular
A hospedagem é boa, os funcionários são bastante atenciosos, a única coisa que é um pouco desconfortável é a localização, visto que o hostel encontra-se próximo a uma avenida com existência de muitos usuários de drogas. Sempre que saíamos, o retorno tinha que ser de uber, pois os próprios funcionários nos informou que a região era perigosa.
Tirando esse fato, o hostel é muito bom.

Acogedor, amable, cómodo
El personal fue muy agradable, tanto en recepción, aseo, cocina y bar, siempre atentas(os) y cordiales.
Destacamos que somos vegetarianos y adaptaron sus menús para nuestros almuerzos (dejando un plato muy sabroso, completo y variado).
Precios de los desayunos y almuerzos y bar muy accesibles.
Dentro de nuestra habitación contábamos con aire acondicionado que mantenía el dormitorio fresco de forma permanente.
La decoración del lugar es muy acogedora y con identidad local.
A pesar de que el tercer piso es un bar, esto no generó inconvenientes para descansar durante las noches.
Lo recomendamos 100% y sin dudas volveríamos a reservar en San Felicin 🇨🇴☺️
