Bondo Estudio

Would return to this property and highly recommend to anyone going to Cartagena. Really good value.

Pros: The location of this place is superb, close to airport and town but far out enough to escape from the crowds and chaos that a city like Cartagena bring.

Cons: Within few minutes of city by uber and also so close to airport. Pool area was great oasis and coffee shop in lobby was also great. Caroline in reception was an absolute gem and when we returned for a night at end of our holiday she gave us late checkout as we were on a late flight.

Loved it and have booked already for our last night on way back from San Andres island. Would highly recommend.

Pros: Lovely modern apartment. Just far enough out of city and very close to airport.

Cons: Great pool area and coffee shop was great addition

Pros: I’ve stayed a number of times and it’s better every time.

Cons: Coffee can be hit or miss on the ground floor

Beautiful boho beach style hotel, away from the old town

Pros: Beautiful new hotel! Loved the rooms, rooftop area with the bar, and the cafe downstairs was a nice touch. Great cocktails and snacks and the staff were friendly. Rooms were spacious with very comfortable beds.

Cons: There is not much to do in the area, but it's close enough to get a quick taxi into the old town (not a super close walk). The beach was beautiful but close up we saw it quite dirty so didn't go. Luckily we had use of the great pools on the rooftop so we used those instead. Rooms had an unpleasant smell.

Very pleasant stay at Bondo Estudio

Pros: Very good value for money, spacious room with very large double bed, cloth storage units and essentials (ironing board/hairdryer etc). 25 min walk to Old Town along the busy main road so not the most pleasant of strolls. Rooftop pool area is great for relaxing, spent a lot of time there (can get pool towels, beach towels and sun tan lotion all inclusive there, the latter is a great touch for those on travelling light on holiday). Great location for beach, airport and only short uber right into Old Town.

Cons: Bathroom towels were old, rough and quite dirty - stayed 3 nights and every towel change delivered same result sadly. Waiters at rooftop pool were quite inattentive and slow, had to go to bar to order food and drinks many times even though they did lounger service and it’s a very small area to serve!

Pros: Great rooftop and apartment very clean and comfortable.

Cons: Loud music on rooftop pool area.

Pros: For us this place was amazing. We booked the room with a whirlpool and seaview. Very helpful staff, nice design and really warm water under shower which wasn't a standard in our other hotels in Colombia

Cons: The only negative is a rooftop bar, we wanted to spend some money there, but they don't have the products to serve you, what is on the menu. Once they told us they don't have products for smoothies, another day we ordered food and received it, without half of the things which are on the menu, like Greek salad without a feta cheese or chicken sandwich with pesto dry tomatoes and cheese was just chicken cheese sandwich People complain in reviews about the noise from the street and it is true. This hotel is loud but we are deep sleepers so for us it wasn't a problem. Note that most good hotels like ibis are on the same street so it will be the same with a noise.

Lovely hotel, modern with nice room and rooftop pool

Pros: The swimming pool rooftop, the shower, the room, the bed, all is wonderfully and room is air-conditioned. friendly staff and very attentive when you need them even tho they didn’t speak any English. Cooked breakfast was really good. The hotel is just across from the beach where you will find the big Cartagena sign for pictures. It’s about 10 minutes by uber to the historical city ( city centre) it’s fully walled and safe inside the walls. I would highly recommend this hotel and I personally would go back there.

Cons: For the Hotel management, Please ensure to let the guest know there is a complimentary service charge you add to each bill and it’s up to the guest if they want to pay it or not. People, check each receipt before you pay anything ,anywhere as they add service fee without informing you, and naturally tourist don’t look at the receipt or understand what it means because it’s in Spanish. Coffees were good but over heated, even when you ask them not to make it too hot. You have repeat your self twice. I felt the pasteries were not fresh.

Amazing place

Pros: Perfect place to stay in Cartagena! Lovely rooftop terrace and pool, great room and great service. It is ten minutes with taxi from the center but it is nice to be outside the noisy and busy streets.

Super hotel

Pros: Caroline, the girl at reception, was phenomenal in working towards managing a very early check in for us, which was very important for our stay, so we cannot thank her enough for her efforts and this should go appreciated.
