Pros: very good breakfast, friendly staff. I enjoyed my stay and recommend this hotel. I met a gentleman from Germany while staying who had stayed here a couple of times before. About as good a recommendation as you can get in my opinion

Maxwell 8/10

Friendly hotel with great breakfast.

Pros: Staff on reception always there to help and let you in - helped me feel safe on my own in Cartagena. Breakfast included in the price and very tasty, helped set me up for the day. Pool was nice for a quick dip. Location is good as it is only a short walk to the centre and therefore away from noise that would keep you up. Rooms has A/C which is invaluable in Cartagena. Laundry service very affordable and very well priced.

Great stay in a well located part of Cartagena with amazing staff

Pros: Extremely well located and very authentic style, great breakfast and service and really lovely staff. The room is also really spacious, we felt really safe as there is 24 hour reception and they keep the front door locked, so you feel really secure in the property and with your belongings too.

Cons: There were some holes in our bathroom, I think this is because of the authentic lay out and style but it meant there were a few little ants - but nothing we haven’t been used to.

Nice hotel in Getsemaní

Pros: The hotel is in Getsemaní, right in the middle of the action with almost everything in walking distance.

Cons: The pool was next to my room, so I heard everything if there were people.

Pleasant

Pros: Great location! Super close by walk to the main streets in Getsemaní but without being in the middle of the crowd. Spacious rooms with AC. Facilities were clean.

Cons: Basic Breakfast There’s no elevator (was not a big deal for us)
