Piscina tranquila e sabores locais

Ficamos no Guakmaya Hostel na baixa temporada e adoramos o clima tranquilo. A piscina foi nosso lugar favorito: pequena, mas muito limpa, com espreguiçadeiras de madeira e sombra boa à tarde. As áreas comuns têm redes e sofás confortáveis, ótimos para descansar. No café da manhã, o pão de queijo ainda quentinho, frutas frescas e ovos feitos na hora fizeram diferença. Também jantamos uma arepa de camarão bem temperada. Atendimento leve e simpático, perto de tudo na Carrera 23.

Buena base para conocer Cartagena

Para ser nuestro primer viaje internacional con los chicos, Guakmaya Hostel nos resultó una gran elección. La relación precio-calidad es muy buena: habitación sencilla, limpia y con aire acondicionado, aunque el baño era algo pequeño. En Carrera 23 quedábamos cerca de Getsemaní, la Torre del Reloj y restaurantes; caminábamos casi todo. A nuestros hijos les encantó el patio con hamacas.

Five-Minute Check-In, Poolside Reset Included

After a year of work, Guakmaya Hostel was exactly the chill reset we needed. Check-in took barely five minutes, and check-out was just as painless. We spent afternoons by the pool, then grabbed the hammock near the courtyard bar. The shared lounge had board games and a surprisingly good coffee machine. Perfect for unwinding in Cartagena.
