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!

The staff was super friendly and respectful. I had a problem with my excursion, which the staff assisted me with. I still missed my excursion but that was my fault. The neighborhood was full of restaurants, bars, nightclubs and a friendly atmosphere. An unforgettable experience.

The room was out of date and generally below average (low water pressure, peeling paint, no ironing board). However, the staff was incredibly kind and attentive and the view was unbeatable.

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 Cons: Hotel is outdated.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.

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.

I don't fault the hotel for construction going on right outside the hotel, it needs to be done. What really set me off was when I tried to check in, after confirming TWICE before arriving, being told everything is OK, they tried to give me a room that was NOT what I reserved. They had the nerve to tell me, "well, that's what happens when you don't book directly with us." Not a good way to start my trip. After having to raise my voice and express my disgust with everyone watching, they gave me a room that was only a little better than what I was getting when I first arrived. It was NOT the room I booked and confirmed. The hotel smelled badly everywhere outside the room. Really treated poorly. I won't be back again.

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.
