this place does not fit the definition of a Hotel -it is an hold trash house with bunch of boxes called rooms. Do not Book and if you made a mistake - do yourself a favor and cancel your booking. Absolute trash room you will feel that someone put you in a dirty box. Bed sheets, towels old and dirty. Internet crap does not even work. Very difficult to find this hotel and staff demand more money if your friend visit you for a beer.

You get what you paid for

Ok hotel near everything you need to visit in Cartagena. The staff willing to help you and go the extra mile for you. The location is unbeatable because in less than 10 minutes you can access the most visited places. This is a motel not a hotel because the amenities are basic and the rooms are dated. If you are looking for comfort this is not the place for you.

Love the location in the middle of the old city.

The pictures made the room look bigger. The staff are nice and breakfast is nice. So glad the air conditioning worked. Sink nearly fell off, and there were barely enough blankets. Would look for another hotel in the old city next time.
