About

Casa Eme Hostal

Casa Eme Hostal sits in Cartagena’s Manga district, a residential area with a local feel. It’s about a 25-minute walk to the La India Catalina statue, and the Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas fortress is roughly 2 kilometres away. The hostal keeps things simple: rooms come with air conditioning in most cases, and there’s a shared kitchen and sun terrace for guests who want to self-cater or relax outdoors.

The property offers a range of room types, from single rooms with shared bathrooms to larger quadruple and twin rooms. Some rooms look onto the street, and all bathrooms are private where specified. Check-in runs from 3 PM to 6 PM, and check-out is between 10 AM and 11 AM. Pets are allowed, and the hostal provides luggage storage, tour assistance, and express check-in/out options.
