The small things that let it down
We booked 2 bookings at this hotel, and we had similar experiences. The rooms were comfortable, but the one room we had had aview to a brick wall... was not very appealing. Small details were what let this hotel down.. - netflix didnt connect - you go to the bar and the cocktail you order off the menu is not available - you call to order room service, the one meal you chose is not available - you enter your room, no body wash in the bottles - no tissues in the tissue holder A few examples of how this hotel lets itself down. The hotel is undergoing a renovation,so alot of workers in the area which was annoying, but understandable. In full, i would not stay at this hotel again, or any GHL hotel...poor experiences with them travelling in Colombia - definitely not a 5 star as they claim!

Not what I expected
I expected a nicer hotel for the reviews . The breakfast was awful. The lobby was under construction and dusty. They don’t allow friends to visit you past the lobby area. The room had a broken lock at the window. I will rate it a 3!. The staff is pleasant but I will not stay here again. The bed was clean and the room was large. The location is great also and safe.

The staff was great! The breakfast was fantastic! The rooms could use some updating, but the rooftop pool and general condition was good. Advice, book rooms in the middle away from the streets.

This property is very conveniently located walking distance to the clock tower/bustling center of Cartagena de indias. We were able to walk to our walking tour (and Getsemani), the castle, chivas, shopping, our cooking class, and the port/meeting spot to go to the mud volcano. The room was clean and nice and the rooftop pool area and restaurant were both nice as well. As far as a valuable and nice stay within Cartagena de Indias borders, we recommend this one.
