Great place to stay!
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.

Stayed at this property from 24 Aug - 29 Aug 2024. The staff from check in - Louis Alphonso, and other lady on the Front Desk whose name dismisses me, the breakfast team, Pompano, Lilibeth, Wendy and Virginia, the concierge/tour desk were all amazing. This is an amazing property, right in the heart of Cartagena next to the Convention Centre with a unique team who look after the guest. An amazing stay.

Excellent stay., everything was at walking distance The only thing was the Air conditioner on the 4th floor was not comfortable. In addition the window for the bathroom was opened and it would not close completely. Need to have that window repaired and consider adding a more sufficient air conditioning system.

Beautiful hotel. Very cordial staff. Excellent rooftop pool as well as breakfast area. We had a standard room and it was a bit small as it had a king size bed. That was our only complaint and it was a very small one.
