Well located, steps away from the convention center and good restaurants, about 10 minutes walk to the clock tower. Close to the port. Easy to get around and great value for money. Rooftop terrace is awesome. Bring your reusable water bottles, they provide ice and cold water which is super helpful.

Breakfast was so so in my opinion.

Best hostel breakfast ever! Always a choice of fresh options, really substantial and was great every morning. Free coffee, drinking water and ice 24/7. Hostel is in a fab location and the staff were incredible friendly and helpful - cheap laundry service too!

The property is located in an ideal location - close to the walled city and center of Getsemani, but in a quiet street of Getsemani. Close to everything you are looking for as a tourist. Staff are welcoming and friendly and a special shout out to Jolie and Jose at the front desk. The breakfast was great all 3 days of my stay and the menu changes daily, the rooms are equipped with an AC, fridge and the wifi is strong. Water in the shower was luke warm but you don't really need hot water in Cartagena. The hotel has a warm, homely feeling about it and I made the absolute right choice staying there

If I have to nit-pick , I'd say the toilets and the basin were small.

Bed and pillow extremely comfortable for a hostel! Location is good. Some of the staff are very friendly and helpful, especially the night guy and the girl with curly red hair that serves breakfast!

The toilet/shower is only 1 tiny one for a 10 bed dorm. I had scrambled eggs on my first morning and they were extremely runny, I got sick afterwards and think it would have been the eggs...can’t be 100% sure, but they shouldn’t be serving watery eggs anyway…especially in a place as hot as Cartagena where the eggs sit out all day long in the heat. Found the other staff quite unfriendly as they don’t really smile or anything, I think after a bit of time they warm up to you. But walking in and seeing all their unfriendly faces standing in the kitchen area (attached to reception) everyday isn’t the most welcoming.

One of my top places I would recommend to fellow travelers. The staff here are so attentive and responsive to whatever is needed. I had a security situation happen while staying here and the staff went above and beyond to assure I was safe and secure. The staff really care about their guests and it was so nice as a solo traveler to feel like I had people who were watching out for me. Many budget accommodations don’t give the same care and attention as Life is Good, you really get much more than what you pay with this place. Plus the breakfast & cooking class are fantastic.

The staff are fabulous, so helpful and kind. The breakfast is great, best scrambled eggs I've had in Colombia. There's an adorable kitten, that just makes everything better. Location is brilliant. Safe and secure. Enormous lockers. Luggage storage (10k per bag per night). Good light and plug sockets in bed. Amazing A/C. Comfortable beds.

I was in the 10 bed dorm: there's no shelf space for the two bottom bunks in the first section of the room, whereas all the other beds have space to put stuff on top of the lockers. But that's only a minor inconvenience. Having a little shelf next to the plug in the bed would be useful, I kept knocking the plug out when I moved the blanket. Laundry service very expensive (40k per bag)

Everything! The staff was amazing...and helped with every need. They all had smiles and could tell it was a great pkease to work. The decor was fabulous...it was like antque meets modern. Breakfast was great. I live in the states and the breakfast they served was the same price ad the room. The cooming class was fabulous...i just wish there were more cooming stations so we could actually cook for beginning to end, instead of taking turns. The chef was delightful and Angelo is so sweet ...he helps in all areas of the hostel. I will definitly be coming back and will stay with them . There was a housekeeper there that just put a smile on my face everyday. She was akways smiling and singing. I hope i got the right picture of het. Id come back just for her because of the cudtomer service and the joy she radiated.

I loved it all!

We enjoyed our stay at Life is Good Hostel. The breakfast was wonderful. It included a Colombian option with fresh fruit every morning. We appreciated how the staff knew our names and were willing to practice speaking Spanish with us. One evening, we had a problem with our shower drain. The staff were easy to communicate with during the situation and fixed the drain promptly. We would recommend staying at Life is Good to anyone and hope to stay there again in the future.

Great hospitality and funky atmosphere. Clean and friendly... Cooking classes were fun and full of good tips.. LIG is just a fun place to stay .liked the fact that it is not in most touristy neighborhood of Getsami but more working class. Very helpful and friendly staff and answered my many questions.

A little noisy on weekend from neighborhood but what the heck I'm 75.

Well situated, in a very calm and beautiful street. If I have to make one comment it is definitely the staff that was soo nice, smiling and helpful. All of them knew my name and was trying their best to make me feel good. The cannot recommend this place more for a solo traveler willing to stay in Cartagena. They gave me choice for the breakfast which was highly appreciated.

The room was a bit small but for a few days it is enough.
