The staff help make Aluna a great place to stay. My room was large clean and although it was in the lower level near reception it was quiet giving me a good nights sleep. The cafe has good food at reasonable prices. I did find that not a lot of the local taxi drivers know about Hotel Aluna or can... More

The owner and staff are very helpful w. travel info. The guests often share tips, too, so the place has a very friendly feel, but not a backpackers’ dorm. Excellent location. Some rooms more attractive than others.

Coming and going over ten days it was always a pleasure to arrive back and get a friendly smile from the staff. .There was always someone on hand to ask advise... More

After partying a little too hard in Cartagena this was just what we needed- very quiet, clean and small hostel! Very friendly and helpful staff (except for the señor on Sunday night)... Who went out of their way to help us. Great free coffee and good value breakfast. Would be nice if the wifi reached the rooms :/ Located about... More

My wife and I spent 4 nights over Christmas there and found it to be a quiet and relaxed hostel. It was peak holiday season so was a little more expensive than normal. Breakfast isn´t included but the cafe offers excellent options for both breakfast and lunch at a very reasonable price. The hostel was clean and the people there... More

We stayed here for 2 nights and found it to be simple but ok. There is no aircon and gets EXTREMLY hot at night. Also the windows have nothing on them to stop bugs coming in. There's only cold water in the shower, but it was refreshing. The hostel was pretty quiet itself, not much happening compared to other hostels.... More

Sarah, Glad you had a good time at Aluna Casa y Cafe. We do have a number of rooms with a/c and those without a/c have fans and windows with louvers/blinds so as to aid in the circulation of air as it is hot on the Caribbean as you know. Thanks for the comments about Patrick. He has a wealth... More
