Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved staying at this hotel. The rooms were cozy with very comfortable beds, air conditioning, large showers, and a large TV. The all-white decor with vaulted ceilings and wood beams gave a charming touch. The location is perfect, close to the Convention Centre, just a few meters from Puerta del Reloj and the walled city, offering the best of both Cartagena worlds. Although there were vultures flying around the terrace, the proximity to Getsemani's good restaurants like Cafe Havana was a definite plus.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were comfortable and quaint, with their own balcony in the old Spanish style, providing a lovely view of the Plaza of The Martyrs and the clock tower. However, the room was a bit tiny, which felt a bit claustrophobic. The location, on the other hand, was excellent, offering easy access to all the attractions in Cartagena. The service was friendly and helpful, but there were some noise disturbances at times. The dining experience was satisfactory, though with room for improvement.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable and well-equipped, although there was some noise from an external A/C machine. The location was perfect for exploring both the old town and Gethsemani, offering a taste of the two sides of Cartagena. The service was friendly and helpful, though there were a few hiccups with the key card situation. The dining experience was enjoyable, with a nice selection of food despite some noise from a nearby construction site.
