15,000 per night for a backpacker style dorm bed (four to a dorm with private bathroom) and then prices increase upwards from there. For a private room you are looking at 20,000 per person based on double occupancy
Located right in front of the river by the Iglesia de Santa Barbara, in front of El Kiosko de Angelita.

This completely new hostal opened in 2008 and has an excellent movie selection, beautiful front rooms and a communal kitchen. The owners are an Anglo-Colombian couple very knowledgeable in things to do in the region and can keep you fully informed on other hostels throughout Colombia as well as transport links.

All the prices quoted here increase substantially during the Christmas vacation and Holy Week. Mompox is hot, and you may want to consider staying in a room with air-conditioning.
