    hot water

    The lobby area was uncomfortably hot, making breakfast an unpleasant experience. The promised room with a balcony was not available upon arrival, resulting in disappointment, particularly with outdated furniture and a small TV. The bathroom lacked modern amenities and a power outlet, making it inconvenient for personal care. Hot water was inconsistent, and internet issues caused inconvenience during stay.

    lobby discomfort
    room dissatisfaction

    the lobby was a sweatbox, absolutely ghastly for breakfast. my room boasted no balcony, even tho I paid for it. expecting something nice as a gesture for these terrible inconveniences was simply too much to ask. I seriously contemplated leaving early, but luckliy, I stayed for the location.

    spacious room
    breakfast buffet

    fantastic, fantastic, fantastic

    I had a fantastic stay with a spacious room that boasted a lovely balcony, perfect for soaking in the local atmosphere. The breakfast buffet offered plenty of delicious options each morning, including fresh pastries and warm eggs. The hotel's proximity to the Old City made exploring a breeze, allowing for easy walks to iconic spots.

    totally recommend 😍❤️

    perfect location
    decent breakfast
    bathroom cleanliness

    The location near the historic center was perfect. Just a short walk to the Walled City and Getsemani. Breakfast included a decent variety like eggs, pastries, and fresh fruit, which I appreciated each morning. The staff seemed friendly and eager to assist. However, my room, while spacious, had issues. The air conditioning struggled at times and the bathroom wasn't cleaned thoroughly on every visit, which was disappointing. Additionally, the elevator had maintenance problems during my stay, forcing me to use the stairs often. While the bustling area brought life, I found it noisy, especially in the mornings. Some rooms appeared modern, but mine felt outdated compared to what I expected.

    comfy room
    effective air conditioning
    relaxation spots
    worn common areas

    I had a pleasant stay with comfy rooms. The air conditioning worked perfectly to cool us off after a long day out. There were great relaxation spots available like the inviting pool and a cozy lounge area. The only downside was that the common areas could use a little sprucing up, but overall, I enjoyed my time. 😊

    good value

    This was just a suitable option for a momentary pause in Cartagena with good value for the price. The air conditioning worked great during my stay, which helped cool down the hot weather. Bring your own towels since the ones provided are a bit worn out.

    The location was perfect, just a short walk to the walled city and Getsemani. Breakfast had a wonderful variety, including eggs and freshly baked pastries. The staff were incredibly friendly, always ready to assist me with a smile.

    The hotel is older and shows some wear.

    would definitely visit it again

    The room was super comfy with great features like air conditioning and a private bathroom. It had a balcony with a nice view and came equipped with free toiletries and fresh linens. Cleaning happened often, which I liked. The atmosphere was nice for relaxing after a long day of exploring. The location was a little noisy, but the vibes were great.
