It’s an old hotel, and some staff could be friendlier but for the price this was a great deal. Room cleaners did an awesome job, rooftop is beautiful and very friendly staff there and at the restaurant. The building is very old and there is a slight whiff of mold and dampness. But hey, for the price it was fabulous, and hot water in the shower which is not a guarantee in some of the fanciest hotels in Cartagena. The bed very comfortable! And small, but smart tv, which was a nice touch. The location is unbelievable!

heavy construction around the area which is out of control of the property. but it is located right on the town center where there is major traffic including the party buses. so it is quite loud.

This hotel is perfectly located, the staff is friendly and helpful. However there is a huge construction project happening all around the property. As well the pool was not open for the duration of our stay and we were not notified beforehand. I would call ahead to check if that was a selling point for your visit and make sure it will be available or if you can get a room where there is not a full blown construction site outside your window. Once the construction is completed this hotel will be the ultimate gem.

Pros: Location was great. It got loud at night with the party buses and events, but we didn't mind. Overall clean and good AC/fan in the rooms. Cons: Hotel is outdated. Great for if you're just looking for a place to sleep. Construction next door. Breakfast was mediocre. Pool did not look swimmable which was a huge disappointment. It had an odd colour dust (presumably from all the construction). **Side note: I was travelling with my husband and 1year old baby.

My wife and I spent three days there and we loved it. It’s very romantic and makes you feel nostalgic. We really liked that it was across from the walled city so you had access to great shopping and restaurants. It’s also close in front of the clock tower which is where the island tour guides pick you up. Also close to the bay in case you wanted to take a yacht. The building is old so some of the exterior aesthetics need to be updated. However, inside is well taken care of. The only issue was that we were placed on the fourth floor and the elevator only goes up three floors. Not a deal breaker for us.
