Overall Ratings & Reviews Oresca Hostel

Everything about this place is simply horrible. Ricardo the owner got very angry at me when i simply asked him to chain up or lock away this aggressive gray and white pit bull and other dog that looked muttish. I explained to him that I was bitten by a pit bull last year unprovoked and Im still dealing with the trauma. He told me the dogs were adopted and they bar but don’t bite. I guess he’s counseled the dogs. Secondly, I paid for a king bed online to get a queen bed. The room was small and drab. The closet door which was huge would not open, so i could not use it to store my clothes. Bathroom is outside room across the hallway. Me and Ricardo got into an argument about the room Because he was trying to justify the false advertising and couldn’t understand that not everyone likes dogs. I asked him to please cancel my reservation and refund my money because I did not get what I paid for and his expedia advertisement was very misleading and said nothing about aggressive pit bulls running around without leashes barking at customers. Place is at dead end street and very dangerous only one way out. Parking is horrible!He would not cancel and refund me. I left and found another hotel. Thats how bad the experience was.

Staff was very friendly and inviting. The room and bathroom was very clean.

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.

Convenient for one night and close to the airport.

Is a beautiful ace. So convenient for one night and close to the airport.

great hotel

Awesome and fairly priced hotel with 1st class hospitality. Thank you Ricardo!

Delicious breakfast and food value for money

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.

Excellent breakfast

I loved my stay. Everyone was pleasant and very helpful. I would stay again.

Clean

Great rooms, clean and good hosts

Friendly staff, limited English. Convenient to the airport but a long walk to the historic center of town

accommodations were clean and simple. two block walk to the airport through a safe area. only problem was we were locked inside the property gates when we tried to leavefor 6:00 a.m. flight

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..

I loved it... Nine place, kind people!

Very clean and friendly

Ricardo and his wife are very welcoming and make you feel right at home. Ricardo was especially considerate about walking us to the airport at 5:00 AM. The area is safe and residential.
