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!

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 Cons: Hotel is outdated.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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Unfortunately, our stay at this hotel was very poor. Our room was large and overlooked the clock tower, but that was where the positives ended. The room itself was tatty and grubby- the towels were stained and the curtains had holes. The bathroom was visibly unclean (stained bath with hairs and toothpaste splashes on the bathroom door). Whilst the view over the clock tower was great, the noise was unmanageable. Loud drumming/shouting/sirens were still incredibly loud at 1am. Even with ear plugs (we bought our own), our sleep was terrible. Whilst this was not the fault of the hotel, it's very much worth bearing in mind. We were very disappointed to have not been informed about the significant building works that are being carried out next door. The hammering/angle grinding went on most of the day, and it made using the pool area impossible. Having said that, the pool area was in very poor condition and nothing like the photos (broken beds/murky pool with cracked tiles) so we probably didn't miss much. Breakfast was served in the small downstairs area and consisted of sliced bread, some cold, greasy empenadas and cornflakes. No hot options or cheeses or even water. Because of all the issues, we cut our losses and checked out after 1 night. The receptionist was apologetic/acknowledged that similar complaints had been made by other guests. We were promised we would receive a refund for the unused nights we had paid for given the circumstances, but this did materialise.
