Great! For our flight to Cartagena, my husband and I decided to stay at Oresca Hostel because it was close to the airport. We liked the place so much, we booked it again when it was time to leave Cartagena. It was then that we met the young owner of Oresca, Ricardo G. Stand, who just happens to be a wonderful young man. The following morning, long before anyone else was awake, Ricardo was there with take-away breakfasts in hand. While my husband and I demanded to carry our own backpacks, Ricardo walked us to the airport, just a 10 minute stroll away. On another note: Don’t worry about being too close to the airport. During our time there we saw and heard very few planes.

Air conditioning working properly, lukewarm shower which is ok for me, Netflix in our room, comfortable mattress, good breakfast. Everything is close to the hotel (less than 10 minutes walk): plenty for restaurants, coffee shops and bakeries, groceries, beach, airport. Despite the hotel next to airport, I didn’t hear any noise from the planes flying. The only thing that I would like in my hotel room is a blanket to sleep and a few hangers in my closet.

The hosts were nice and the room was clean and the breakfasts were delicious. My only complaints were the owner’s barking dogs (and I am a dog lover) but they were right outside my room barking for some time at night. Also, the swinging doors to the kitchen (which was next to my room) were very loud anytime anyone went in or out. But for the price, it was good value for the money.

Primero el cuarto que me dieron muy mal condiciones, empezando que el televisor estaba a la cabezera de la cama un cuarto tan pequeño para una sola persona no cabia con mi esposo y la puerta muy insegura no cerraba bien, cuando fuimos hablar a la front desk. Hubo una señora muy grocera enojada por los reclamos que hicimos, fue muy mal educada no sabe lidiar con customer , creo que era la esposa del dueño.. menos mal llego el dueño y fue muy amable y nos atendio, nos toco pagar extra para que nos cambiaran de cuarto..
