10/10 Exceptional

Charming, small scale hotel in a historical style, waterfront, within walking distance of the historic town and Getsemani. Nice terraces (3), including one with a jacuzzi. Excellent, welcoming and capable staff. Well appointed rooms, very clean. Great breakfast on a communal table, to share with other travelers. I was made to feel at home during my stay (June 18-25) and as a solo female traveler, I felt very safe and well taken care off. The only down sides are the club next door and the amount of traffic (especially the party buses and party boats in the evening), but a pair of ear plugs takes care of that.

Great stay
I had a wonderful stay. As a solo traveler the staff made sure all needs and services were met and they were very friendly. The food was amazing too. Had a nice view from the lounging areas in the place. I liked that the location was very local to common areas and felt safe as well. Only downside there were a lot of bugs (bug spray solved the problem) that came from the bathroom window and I didn’t have hot water in the shower for the first 2 days

Best location in Getsemani
The breakfast here is amazing! And the customer service was wonderful throughout the entire trip. Please note, the hotel shares a wall with a popular nightclub and is on the main route for the party buses. It was a little loud but nothing we couldn't sleep through. Also nothing, this has the perfect location in the city - less than 10 min walk to the walled city and where the tours depart. It is directly across the street from the water. We only used a taxi once (aside from airport transfer) which was to get to Bocagrande. Otherwise, you simply cannot ask for a better location!!!

I only stayed one night but it’s enough for me to come back. Everyone is very attentive, big attention on details. Its hands down the best ‘homey’ breakfast of any of the 7 hotels I’ve stayed in Cartagena.

Great location, within easy walking to the conference center and the old city. Looking over Cartagena bay with sailboats passing by. Very clean, extremely friendly staff, catering to special requests for breakfast. Beautiful terrace off the upstairs hall with views of the bay.

I like the property and the stuff but don't like the location. The property is near a loud nightclub. The nightclub opens until 3 am in morning.

This place felt like home, the staff was wonderful and very helpful, Candelaria made sure our room was always clean and our breakfast was ready every morning. William was very attentive too. If I come back to Cartagena I would stay here again.

I had the best experience on my 7 days in Cartagena at this Hotel. I felt like I was a home visiting family members. They took care of my like I was was special. They listen and had a great conversation and were so friendly at all times. The cleaning staff lady was loving and caring like a Mother cooking breakfast for us every morning. So special her name is Candelaria, what a beautiful loving soul. She remains in my heart. The administration gentleman was so kind and nice. I am so happy I met them . I will return for sure this Hotel.

My hotel room had a lot of street noise, even before the night club next door opens and plays music till 1:00 am. I wasn’t shown the property and found out 3 days later about the rooftop jacuzzi with an amazing view. Is nice because is near everything, beautiful bay view, but the windows are tiny! The rooms are old, tv only works with basic cable, ac constantly stops working. It was an ok one time experience, but definitely not one to come back to.

Muy limpio, staff muy servicial. Si no puede subir escaleras debe revisar si le resecan la habitación de primer piso o segundo que las escaleras son cortas. A pesar de estar en zona de ruido no molesta para dormir. Volveré.

Just far and close enough
This was a great location to stay in Cartagena. It’s just outside the walled city, but so easy and close to get to. I liked the vibe here. Beautiful graffiti and streets to wander down and take pics. I also appreciated that my room had an excellent working ac unit and hot water. Great value for the price.

The frondesk lady was very nice but I did reserve a room for me and my girl friend they give me a separated bed in the room but the room was under the roof with no elevator and the stair are not safe the get access . Any way they change me to an other hotel that was with a lower class bedroom .I think I get rip off for what I did pay .
