The hotel is overall very nice. Our stay was pleasant however we had to switch rooms on our second night due to some issues (noise, TV not working, shower drain blocked). Something to note is that only the rooms on the newer, left wing of the building have openable windows and therefore natural light and ventilation.

Fabulous stay in Cartagena

Hotel Bantu was a fabulous home base for our visit to Cartagena! The staff provided a friendly welcome, and I appreciated their ability to speak with me in English and assist with local recommendations. The property is beautiful and inviting (as well as safe!), including a lovely daily breakfast and a comfortable, air conditioned room. The location was fabulous, walkable to key locations and many restaurant options nearby. I highly recommend a stay at Hotel Bantu.

The property was beautiful and tranquil. You would never you were in the middle of the historic center because it was so peaceful and quiet indoors. The staff were attentive, polite, and very pleasant. We loved Arnold and Jovani and the front desk! The decor and ambience of the hotel was exactly as we wanted and very authentic. Some opportunities were the daily breakfast: the options were very limited and the food is left out and unrefrigerated the entire time in very hot weather. I did not feel comfortable eating or drinking things that were warm. The spa experience was good, although it was more of a room with a curtain than a spa. My therapist, Gina, was lovely but there was nowhere to put my clothes. Also during the massage, you could still hear the music from the rooftop as well as some of the workers. It would have been nice if they were notified that clients were in session and should not be disturbed. Other than that, this was a perfect location and a beautiful experience! I will definitely return to Cartagena and Hotel Bantú!

Hotel Bantú was BEAUTIFUL, a work of art every detail of the hotel and our room was so beautiful and added to our stay in Cartagena. We are so happy to have booked our hotel with them in the heart of the walled city. We were in a great location, close to a lot of great bars, restaurants and shops. The included breakfast was delicious, coffee and water available all day. They have a locked gate that requires you to be buzzed in. The staff were so incredible with us, they were helpful with places to go, booking excursions like a guided tour on a chiva and a boat to the private islands of Rosario. They also allowed us a late checkout due to availability, and kept our bags at the reception while we continued to explore and shop. We had the best time at Bantu, and will definitely be back.
