Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was extremely dirty, I found trash stashed between the wall and side table. Smelled a bit moldy, there was dust by the bed. Customers service was the horrendous. People there don’t acknowledge your existence and they rather socialize among themselves rather than the guest. They are loud and you can hear them in your room. Overall, I had a horrible experience and I would not recommend this property.

Top stay at Selina Cartagena

We very much enjoyed this hotel. Best quality/price in Cartagena. Very well located in Getsemani but 5 min wal to Centro Historico. Great patio. Friendly staff. Very nice decor and design. We had a suite on the second floor. I highly recommand.

Super social hostel in the heart of Getsemani. “Micro rooms” are great value for money and surprisingly spacious. Wifi is strong too. Minor criticisms include the painful check-in process - I’ve opened bank accounts quicker - and the prices for drinks are way too high for a hostel. Fortunately all the cool street bars are right on your doorstep so this wasn’t an issue for us. Would recommend!
