Just ok...
Overall the hotel is not exactly as advertised. Meaning: it's on the Getsemani neighborhood, not the walled city. Also the breakfast is served at a bar near the hotel.(but, yes.Its free). The rooms are not as cute and not as comfy as appear on the pictures... Not too bad considering the price paid, but I’d rather stay elsewhere on my next trip.

I like the hotel and location. However, you get what you pay for. The staff was very unfriendly and not willing to guide or provide information; even though I speak Spanish. On my way out while they had already called the taxi the front desk lady said she needed to collect payment from me. I thought I had paid expedia when I booked so I told her why you did not ask me when I requested the taxi so I he wouldn't be waiting for me and have the meter running? Breakfast was good.

Good location & staff, but do not accept room 111
Very helpful check in as our flight got in quite late. We were shown to our hostel style ensuite room with 2 basins which could sleep 7. There were lots of mosquitos but the room itself was clean and the a/c worked well. In the morning we realised there was no window. However, as the staff were kind and helpful and we really were not paying much and we felt we would be out most of the day anyway, we decided to stay another night. The breakfast was served on the roof in a fairly rustic set up. They cooked the meal (eggs and toast) freshly for us and we enjoyed it. The subsequent night, the guests in the neighbouring rooms were terribly noisy, opening and shutting their doors at all hours, damp patches were gradually appearing on the walls (they had clearly been painted over), on closer inspection the bathroom was unacceptably dirty with grime all round the edges and the last straw was the ceiling began to drip water due to some faulty plumbing from the bathroom above. Still no window. If you don't have to stay in room 111, you may well have a lovely stay. We didn't. We asked to change rooms but they had nothing available to fit. We left that morning.

Great place at a great price!
I stayed at Hostal La Casona De Getsemani for 3 nights while visiting Cartagena. The hotel has a lovely open courtyard area on the first floor as well as a nice dining area and kitchen on the 3rd floor. The rooms had their own air conditioners and the staff was very nice. Location of the hotel was great with the park being around the block and several food and drink options nearby.

Can't get sleep/ Breakfast minimal/ wifi marginal
Small room with small bathroom. Air conditioner works fine. Internet minimally functional. At night there's noise in the lobby. We heard about this problem too late. It was true. People talked to all hours of the morning quite loudly just outside our door. By report it's primarily the result of the front staff socializing with friends.

Good deal for the location
The hostel was well situated. Very close walk to Old Town and even closer to the main strip with all of the bars (Cafe Havana, for example) and other hostels without being right on top of them. Great, cheap Colombian lunches at the restaurant right down the street. The area felt safe and the hostel has a nice vibe. Lively but not too crazy. Raumir, the main host while we were there, was really lovely. Though if you ask for help getting a boat directly to Playa Blanca, DO NOT let anyone book you through Liza Mar. The hotel staff made it explicitly clear to the company that we wanted a direct ticket. When we got to the docks at 8am, the sales woman, who spoke fluent English and could absolutely understand us, straight-up LIED and put us on an 8:30am boat that went to several other locations before going to Playa Blanca. She neglected to mention that the direct boats supposedly leave at 10am. Total BS and a really sad waste of our day since it was our only full day in Cartagena.

Great location in the old city.
Good value for a hostel in Cartagena. Walking distance to many attractions. If you are looking for a place to sleep for a decent rate you won't be disappointed.

buen sitio para hospedarse
El hostal es bueno por el precio que se paga, está muy bien ubicado, en la calle tripita y media, hay mucho comercio por allí, lugares para distraerse como bares, restaurantes y demás, está en una de las calles emblemáticas del centro histórico, las habitaciones son cómodas y organizadas, el recinto en general es acogedor, tiene bebidas en la sala de espera por si se quiere comprar algo, todos los días hay café y agua aromática, el aire acondicionado funcionó perfecto, la cama principal tenía algunos desajustes pero nada grave, el baño permanecía muy mojado por que no tiene división sino cortina, el servicio de limpieza es bueno, cada día organizaban la habitación, el único detalle que no agrado fue la atención del personal, una actitud incómoda, pero pueden mejorar en ese aspecto

Sitio para visitar
A pesar de tener un inconveniente con la habitación, esta fue resuelta y la estadia fue muy agradable para solamente haber estado una noche. Les recomiendo el hotel por la cercacía con los sitios históricos y failidades que se tienen por la ubicación. La apasamos muy agradable con mi familia y se debe recordar que el estar bien lo hacemos nosotros.

No es lo que parece!
Realmente es una habitación demasiado pequeña para 4 personas. Las fotos no son fieles a lo que uno encuentra allá. La zona de comidas es una terraza sucia y llena de escombros y muebles viejos que van descartándose. La atención del personal muy regular.
