Hostal Casa Viena

Hands down the most well known hostel in Cartagena de Indias, Casa Viena continues to be the first choice for backpackers. They have a helpful tourist desk where patrons and walk-ins alike can plan chiva tours and sailing trips to Panama. With only nine rooms in total; however, this place simply doesn’t have room for all of its visitors. The only way to secure a room is to call ahead, and even that doesn’t guarantee they will have a bed for you. The dorm is the only room with air conditioning and sleeps eight ($8 per person). The other eight rooms range in size and begin at $10.
