Clean basic room with a window overlooking the corridor. Decent shower for Latin America.
Hotel is in a residential area about 20 minutes walk to the old city.
As always in Latin America very courteous staff.
Reasonable but not lavish breakfast included.
Overall fare value for money.

Noisy, construction and no respect for guests!
This is not a 8 star out of ten stay by any stretch of one’s imagination.
They placed me on the second floor right next the eating area where a group of 14 people were very loud having breakfast at 6 am. Finally fell back to sleep when I was woken at 8 am by jack hammering of the floors and walls in the unit directly below me!! It was absolutely insane and it went on all day long! I had to shower and get the heck out. After waiting for another room all day, they placed me on the rooftop right across the generator room. The owner obviously had no respect for guests staying or this work would have been done and the adjoining rooms closed off! This continued every day where one could not even have an online conference call. I finally checked out a day early as the extremely loud music from the next door place started up at 10 pm - I checked out at 11 pm and booked into an airbnb which provided me a quiet nights sleep! Many guests were upset by the lack of respect that the hotel management had for current guests! Location was great - staff was great, hotel management pathetic!! I left at 11 pm on a Saturday night after 6 nights of little sleep ! Non refundable booking! My advise - BOOK ELSEWHERE!

It is a very clean place to stay located in a wonderful neighborhood. Not quite located downtown, but is 10 minutes away. I really liked the location. Also, a big part of why the place is so great is because of the people that work there. They were all very kind and very helpful throughout our stay. Would definitely stay here again in the future.

I think it is a new hotel , basic service, very clean, the receptionist was very helpful. Breakfast included, which help us to save a lot of money. Cartagena it is very expensive.
What i didn’t like was we could heard through the walls other people from the next room.
- only one blanket, for 3 beds that I had in the room .
Pros- the area is very safe, the hotel is safe.

Updated in a quiet neighborhood
This hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood that isn’t far from Getsemani where everything is going on. The staff was friendly they offer breakfast which I didn’t get to eat because I had tours and activities planned. The only cons are the cleanliness (the black flies that fly around near water), the water doesn’t get really hot, and the doors to the rooms. As a solo traveler, I was concerned because the door is a regular knob that only locks and unlocks from the outside. The buildings have doors that lead to the rooms and those stay open and the main gate stays open throughout the day as well. Something to keep in mind because anyone could be walking in and out or sitting in the lobby of the individual buildings.

Minha hospedagem em Cartagena foi muito boa! O hotel fica próximo ao Castelo San Felipe e ao Museo del Chocolate, então consegui ir caminhando tranquilamente até esses locais. Para os outros pontos turísticos utilizei Uber e foi super tranquilo também.
Fui muito bem atendida mesmo falando pouco espanhol, o que fez toda diferença durante a estadia. O café da manhã é simples, mas atendeu bem às minhas necessidades. A senhora que serve o café da manhã é muito simpática e atenciosa.
Outro ponto positivo é que encontrei outros brasileiros hospedados no hotel, o que deixou o ambiente ainda mais acolhedor. Também há lanchonetes, mini mercados e farmácias próximos ao local, facilitando bastante o dia a dia.
No geral, tive uma experiência muito agradável e me senti confortável durante toda a hospedagem.
