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.

No tengo ningún comentario negativo. Todo super limpio, ordenado y la cama cómoda. Desayuno rico. Trato super amable por parte de todo el personal. El aire acondicionado super bien. El baño me gustó bastante. El Jacuzzi super a gusto. Está mega cerca del Barrio de Getsemaní (a dos minutos caminando). Sin duda, si vuelvo, sería ahí, me faltó la experiencia de la cocina con la Cheff. De ahí todo excelente 🇲🇽

Excelente estadia

O atendimento da equipe de funcionários é sensacional. A estadia foi incrível, ficar hospedada no Life is Good fez toda a diferença. Vale muito a pena, com certeza voltaria. Quarto limpo e espaçoso com chuveiro com água quente. Café da manhã maravilhoso com opções variadas. A melhor limonada de coco de Cartagena foi no restaurante do hostel.
