Located in Getsemani the oldest neighborhood in Cartagena de Indias, Media Luna is a beautifully restored old colonial house turned hostel. Three stories, three bars, a restaurant, swimming pool, and 160 places to sleep there is nothing small about this place. Clearly one of the most popular hostels in Cartagena de Indias this place has been packed everyday since I got here a week ago. Walking distance to all the main attractions of the city and surrounded by cheap eateries and bars the only downfall of this hostel would be there is no air conditioning. Cartagena is a humid city and it’s been 90 degrees everyday except one day when it rained. Every room is equipped with fans but sometimes that just doesn’t cut it. I have been able to sleep fine but other people can’t handle it. There are plenty of parties thrown by the hostel, hired dj’s and amazing night views from the third floor terrace. The first floor restaurant is really good and has a lot of options. I have gotten my fair share of omelets made each morning. I would definitely recommend this hostel to any traveler.
