The journey to the room was unpleasant. The carpet in the hallway leading to the room was very worn in look and the smell was terrible. The staff and public areas were pleasant.

The people are polite and helpful. Room wasn’t that clean chair was stained and the TV had something speared on it. Didn’t even watch the tv and you would think the hotel staff would be some kind of quote for guess but had a full loud conversation outside my door

Our stay was amazing! The rooms were very clean and nice. The staff was very amazing and accommodating to us when our flights were cancelled and we had to stay another night. The gentleman at the front desk even put us in direct contact with the airline. Highly recommend staying here if you’re coming to Cartagena as it’s also within distance from the Historical Center and Getsemaní!

We have been to Cartagena 6 times in the last 3 years. We found the hotel expensive compared to what we have stayed in before and i think it is geard towards corporate clients that gets a corporate discount. The view from our room was straight in to another building. Breakfast was average. We were there for one week, and the printer in the businesss center did not work the whole week, so we had to ask the receptionist to print. The swimming pool was nice. Staff was excellent.

Me and my husband enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It is located in the financial district area which was quiet and we enjoyed walking around Manga. The AC in the room was great.
Breakfast was good. I loved the beef soup.
The location was approximatel 15 minutes drive to the Walled City which was fine for us as uber was accesible.
