We enjoyed our stay at Selina overall. However, there was ongoing construction happening during our stay and at times it was noisy.

I was lucky enough to get a free upgrade to a deluxe private room upon check in. The staff were exceptionally friendly and very helpful. Would 100% recommend.

The room was extremely dirty, I found trash stashed between the wall and side table. Smelled a bit moldy, there was dust by the bed. Customers service was the horrendous. People there don’t acknowledge your existence and they rather socialize among themselves rather than the guest. They are loud and you can hear them in your room. Overall, I had a horrible experience and I would not recommend this property.

We very much enjoyed this hotel. Best quality/price in Cartagena. Very well located in Getsemani but 5 min wal to Centro Historico. Great patio. Friendly staff. Very nice decor and design. We had a suite on the second floor. I highly recommand.

Super social hostel in the heart of Getsemani. “Micro rooms” are great value for money and surprisingly spacious. Wifi is strong too. Minor criticisms include the painful check-in process - I’ve opened bank accounts quicker - and the prices for drinks are way too high for a hostel. Fortunately all the cool street bars are right on your doorstep so this wasn’t an issue for us. Would recommend!

The room we stayed had no windows and it smelled really bad. At the hotel they took a long time to change rooms and even the new room was not working. The AC was leaking and it also had a very bad smell. For the price I would expect something better.

We had booked a rather expensive private standard room. The room we recieved was nothing like the pictures on the website. Small space without a window that smelled like mold. We asked to change room which took the staff over an hour and they were not very friendly. The hostel is noisy at night time and full of drunk teenagers

What a bad experience 1. Dirty shower. Hairs all over the shower 2. No space between toilet and wall. Had to sit down with open legs 3. Uncomfortable pillows 4. Guard at night was super rude and disrespectful 5. Extremely loud at night. You could hear all the hallway and neighbors. Conclusion: never going back to a hole like this

Location is perfect! 2 roof top pool options. Rooms are smallish but clean and nice. The common areas are nice and open. Plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance. Very close to the Walled City and other must see spots.

Worst hotel ever. I had to check out and leave our room to change room during my stay and they had no room available so i had no room between 11.00 and 16.00, even though i paid for it. Did not get any compensation for it either. Don't get fooled by the pictures.

Room was amazing, only downside is that the cleaning service of the rooms was very slow, one day they didn’t come at all so we had to request it and then it was done promptly, otherwise clean and comfortable rooms. Great location and atmosphere

I stayed in room 109 Pros: -Great Social environment -provide shampoo, conditioner and body wash -whatsapp group creates a space to connect - they hold daily events Cons: -it was noisy because employees locker room was right below the room. - walls are thin (It felt like they were in my room) - bed sank in the middle, not comfortable - limited hot water

The common areas for this hotel are lovely. Great lobby and rooftop . The staff is very nice but check- in was disorganized. Room is okay, but small and basic. No hooks or wardrobe, bathroom was tight and because of open window , the music from the club was very loud until 2am,however it’s a hostel so we knew there would be noise. Great location and a good budget option!
