I like that this place, unlike other hotels actually has a kitchen where they cook authentic breakfast, lunch and dinner. The hotel also has a cooking class on rooftop. This location was very convenient

My stay here was fantastic. The staff members were so hospitable, kind, helpful and friendly in every moment, and also gave great recommendations. I particularly enjoyed the cooking class and the restaurant. Don’t hesitate to stay here!

I was impressed with the Colombian friendliness and hospitality. Life is Good is at a great location, spotless clean, great breakfast, and has the best staff that I ever encountered in a Hostel. I highly recommend this place to anyone.

Absolutely fantastic place. Comfortable room, friendly helpful staff, great location, good food, great towels. Close to everything. Walking distance to everything. Rooftop hangout is lovely. Secure 24 hour access. Highly recommend!

8/10 Very good

Good place really close to all the action. It's on a main street so really convinient to transportation, restaurants and main places from Cartagena. The place is really calmed and staff is friendly, although they could have more information on what to do. Overall clean and with good amenities.

Great location on a street with several bars and restaurants. Room was comfortable. Breakfast was simple and tasty. Only negative is related to the hot tubs on the rooftop deck—the water is cold and they close at 7pm. They should be open later.

Definitivamente este lugar es la mejor opción. El elemento diferenciador es el trato tan amable, pero las habitaciones, la terraza, los desayunos, la ubicación (cerca de restaurantes muy muy buenos) hacen que sea un hospedaje distinto! Totalmente recomendado!

Tout simplement parfait!
Je n’ai que du positif à dire sur cet hostel! Le personnel est incroyable. Ils sont tous attentionnés et font tout pour rendre votre séjour agréable. J’ai participé au cours de cuisine, ne passez pas à côté! Quelle belle expérience! C’était une belle soirée et on a préparé des recettes que je pourrai refaire à la maison pour me rappeler ma visite à Cartagena. Les dortoirs sont propres, bien aménagés, les lits sont très confortables. L’hostel est bien situé et toute la vieille ville et Getsemani sont accessibles à pied à partir de là. Le déjeuner inclus était différent chaque jour et tellement bon! Vraiment j’ai tout aimé. Je le recommande sans hésitation!

El mejor servicio que he recibido en mi vida
Definitivamente el mejor servicio que he recibido en mi vida, de inicio a fin me hicieron sentir en casa y como si fuera un cliente VIP. En cuanto llegas al hotel te reciben con muchísimo gusto, te preguntan cómo te fue en tu viaje y si necesitas algo, te ofrecen de tomar café, agua, leche o té en incluso unos pastelitos deliciosos y nada de esto tiene costo, puedes consumirlos las veces que quiera durante las 24 hrs del día. Te entregan un mapa de la ciudad donde te explican y sugieren que hacer, te acompañan a tu habitación y se aseguran de que todo este correcto, cualquier pregunta o necesidad que tengas te la solucionarán de forma inmediata y con todo el gusto. La comida y bebidas deliciosas, el hotel hermoso y las habitaciones sumamente limpias y cómodas. Ubicación perfecta ya que caminando llegas a todos los lugares de interés. Por mucho el mejor lugar en el que me he hospedado, de verdad fue una muy grata experiencia! Gracias Pao, Edith, José y el resto del equipo!! :)

I absolutely loved this hostel. Beds are comfy, privacy screen and adjustable AC. Staff are so nice and helpful, any time of the day. The breakfast was delicious, fresh and varied daily. The Italian food cooked at dinner was really good too. They have a really nice rooftop and everyone hostel was so nice, met some amazing people.
