Winziges, schmutziges Zimmer in überteuertem Hotel

Das Gebäude indem sich das Hotel befindet ist wunderschön! Wenn man sich nicht viel im Zimmer aufhalten möchte und eher im Innenhof Platz nimmt, ist es ein toller Ort. Die Zimmer sind allerdings klein, eng und sehr bescheiden (ca. 8-9m2). Viel zu teuer für das was man bekommt. Die gute Nachricht: Es gibt eine Klimaanlage. Die schlechte: Dadurch dass das Zimmer so klein ist, bläst sie einem die ganze Nacht auf die Stirn. Unser Zimmer war noch dazu schmutzig und das Bettlaken war voller frischer, eingetrockneter Flecken. Die Struktur erinnerte an Yoghurt oder ähnliches... Nachdem wir das Bettlaken abgezogen hatten und es abends gegen ein frisches austauschen wollten, konnten wir niemanden finden. Der einzige Angestellte des Hotels schlief so fest, dass wir ihn nicht wecken konnten und so waren wir froh, dass wir zumindest einen Schlafsack mit hatten. Ich würde das Hotel nur im äußerstem Notfall und mit Hütten schlafsäcken im Gepäck empfehlen. (Also eher nicht.)

There is a school, gallery, coffeeshop, and chapel all within the courtyard or on the different levels of the El Claustro House which I found fun to explore. The hotel rooms are incredibly small and at the top level (3rd floor). I was traveling alone, but the room would have been too small for two people. The staff was not particularly friendly or helpful.

Nice historical multi-use building in need of repairs and updating. Rooms have suffered from shoddy repairs over the years. I’ll fitting doors. Shelves falling off walls. Ceiling caving in. Ants. Tiny light weight safe, not attached to anything! Reception does not answer phone. Light bulb went out and was never replaced. A/C died and had to change room. Rooms were not cleaned properly-had hair. dusty shelves and wardrobes. Broken toilet seat and cover. Nice bathroom sinks but plumbing underneath detached and water leaked all over floor. Eggs for breakfast EVERYDAY! It’s not a buffet, and you only get 2 slices of bread and slivers of fruit. Tables so small in dining room, I had to sit sideways. This could be a really great place with repairs, upgrades and attention to cleanliness and repairs in rooms. Basic and rustic accommodation could be nice. El Claustro has great potential but it needs more vision, repairs, upgrading and investment in the rooms, considering the numerous great alternative hotels. PLUS, I see that many people have complained about the same things, even mentioning specific rooms that I stayed in, but nothing was done.

Very nice feeling to this place.

The place was an awesome place to stay. My wife and I had a small room that used to be a nuns quarters. That is why it's a bit small. Also because it were small the air conditioner gave my wife a cough as it was blowing on her all night. Even though it were small we were able to move the small refrigerator towards the door and open our suitcases so at least it was not as small as the Santa Alejandria Hotel's room we stayed in where we had no room to open things. We spent 3 nights here because it was such a nice historic building that was huge. Had a 3rd story terrace where we could smoke and have a drink. Breakfast was delivered by great staff and was a decent simple breakfast of fruit, coffee, eggs and toast. I'd spend a few days here again just for the excellent character of the place. Don't be put off by the small rooms.

El lugar está super bonito, en el mero centro histórico asi que pueden salir a pasear y regresar a todo momento. El personal muy amable. Nada mas tomen en cuenta que las habitaciones estan muuuuy pequeñas y no hay ni dónde poner la maleta. El internet casi no llegaba al cuarto y no hay agua caliente (aunque es una ciudad con muuucho calor y casi no es necesaria). De resto, un ambiente muy agradable

Such a cute little boutique hotel! Only a few hotel rooms and the rest is an art gallery, coffee shop, school, etc. My friend and I had read about the cold water issue so were prepared for that. Although, it wasn’t that much of an issue and actually felt kind of nice since Cartagena is so hot! The room we shared was small but we didn’t mind at all because we weren’t there to enjoy the room, we spent all day everyday out and about exploring. The AC works very well which is a must in Cartagena. Most of the staff are really nice. There was a bit of a language barrier at first but meh let’s be real, that’s to be expected! EXCELLENT location! We were really happy we decided to stay in the old city and found such a good place for so little money. We’re already planning our next trips to Cartagena and will probably stay in a hostel, only to meet more peopl, but definitely would still recommend!

Hotel com excelente localização.

Embora tenha uma excelente localização o hotel não dispõe de recursos que promova a segurança dos hóspedes pois, além de hotel funciona como galeria de arte, espaço para eventos e tem um Café bar no local. É possível assistir o entra e sai de pessoas a todo momento. Segurança zero!!! Na terceira noite houve uma festa de casamento...sem chances de dormir antes das 2:00H AM. O hotel é um antigo convento do século passado, a estrutura original é mantida, não tem elevador, e não dispõe de gerador de energia. As duas primeiras noites foram traumáticas. Na primeira noite 22/06 cheganos após as 23H depois de uma viagem exauta e não tinha energia no hotel. Para piorar a situação estava uma temperatura de 34 graus!!! A situação da energia se estendeu por mais um dia. Foi bastante desconfortável duas noites sem energia. O café da manhã é oferecido numa bandeja, cardápio único, você não temo direito de escolher o que vai comer!

A única coisa legal: o Hotel é bem localizado.

Infelizmente o site mostra fotografias que não correspondem à realidade do hotel. Considero Barulhento e pouco seguro por se tratar de um velho prédio onde funciona museu, café, local de eventos e universidade tudo no mesmo local, portanto qualquer pessoa pode entrar e ninguém vê ou é abordado. Logo que chegamos na madrugada tivemos que subir 4 lances de escada para chegar ao quarto, faltou energia e o hotel não possui gerador. Dormimos num calor infernal por dois dias seguidos, sem falar que fomos colocados em quartos próximos ao reino dos pássaros do local onde acordamos às 4:30 da manhã com a sinfonia estridente deles. Só trocamos de quarto após reclamações. Pelo valor pago achei que seria custo beneficio! Esse hotel deve estar na classificação 2 estrelas.

Small, noisy room but good air con and service

Really lovely setting, but the building doubles up as a gig venue - so there was a really loud rock gig on when we arrived, and it's a college during the week so no lie-ins as it gets noisy! The room was tiny - bed against the wall and not much space at the other side - so with 2 big bags it was difficult to move around. Having said that, we were out in the daytimes, and breakfast is lovely with great service. The rooms have air con, which is a godsend, and good WiFi.

Hotel muy pintoresco

Muy lindo hotel. La ubicación es muy buena (a pocas cuadras de la plaza principal de la ciudad amurallada). El personal es muy amable. En la planta baja funciona un pequeño museo con exposiciones interesantes. También hay un patio central muy lindo para sentarse y un café si querés tomar o comer algo. Fuimos dos personas y estuvimos dos veces en el hotel. La primera vez en una suite muy cómoda y amplia, con 2 camas matrimoniales. La segunda vez estuvimos en una habitación común, con una sóla cama matrimonial. Las habitaciones comunes son bastante chicas (hay lugar para la cama y para meter dos valijas, pero no mucho más), pero como no pasábamos tanto tiempo dentro de la habitación tampoco fue muy terrible. Afuera también hay unos sillones muy lindos y una terraza si se quiere ir a leer o a conversar fuera de la habitación. El wifi funciona bien.
