Reviews from visitors:
This place is a welcoming as it looks. Right in the heart if Getsemani, there are multiple stores, restaurants, and hang out spots nearby. The breakfast is plentiful and tasty. The lobby itself is a great place to just escape the heat and meet fellow travelers. Hands down one of the best hostels I've visited.
Cute hostel, breakfast is good. The showers have low pressure and nowhere to hang your towel. Pool is more like a tub of water. Pretty sure something bit me, beware could be bed bugs here as other guests have mentioned.
Unfortunately I don’t quite understand why this hostel has such a high score. I do believe that this is not a boutique hostel and the name is a bit misleading.
What I liked:
-breakfast (you get a juice, fruits and get to choose between different egg dishes, pancakes, etc)
-staff: very friendly and relaxed
-common area: really calm and relaxing but way too small for the amount of guests in the hostel
-cleanliness: the hostel was very clean, you could constantly see the staff cleaning bathrooms, common area etc.
-the cat Stella
-location
What I didn’t like:
-the dorm size: we stayed in a 6 bed dorm and it was just way way waaaayyyy too small for 6 people. If 2 people decided to get up at the same time, there was no space. If you want to get something out of your locker and some one else wants to get up, there is no space. Just trying to pack your luggage at the end was a challenge. No individual light in the beds, not enough hooks for towels.
The room size would even be difficult for a 4 bed dorm in my opinion. Since the place claims to be “boutique” we expected something a bit fancier.
-bathroom: 3 showers for each sex in the whole hostel, 2 of which were more like gym/pool showers-> no hooks for towel, nowhere to put your clothes so you have to jump to the changing room once your done, really inconvenient
-luggage storage: they store your bags in the netflix room that is open 24/7 and can be accessed by all the guests.
I’ve stayed in Cartagena before and to be honest I wouldn’t go back to this hostel.
This place is great. Decent price, right in the old City. Touristy area and street/alley as you might expect but also piles of Colombians. The breakfast is really good. Free drink between 7-8pm. Pool which is smallish but hey, it's a hostel, and it's cool. Awesome layout and art. We had a private room which was basic but really clean and had all you need. The stand out point here was the staff! They were all awesome. Could have a joke etc and they always smiled and interacted. We had to check out at 4.45am for a flight and they organised us a taxi and even packed us a breakfast to take with us!!! Highly recommended.
I'd give Casa del Pozo 10 stars if I could! The staff are so friendly and helpful. The breakfasts are unforgettable and so are the daily free cocktails. The atmosphere is welcoming and great for solo travellers. Spotlessly cleaned and good value in an excellent location.
