Majestic, charming boutique hotel that is in a great location in Getsemani. The people are very friendly and it has a pool looking over San Felipe and the marina. My room needs some repairs - e.g the shower but overall I really like this place

We looked at 3 rooms all had mold and black mold. We had to stay as everything in the area was booked. Staff had little concern for customer service or satisfaction

jinlin, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice hotel

Let some start off by saying the hotel is beautiful and most of the staff is extremely friendly. My room was a nice size and had everything I needed. The rain shower was awesome. It had amazing pressure and was the best feature in my room hands down. The continental breakfast was delicious, they provided a great assortment of fresh fruits along with cooked foods like scrambled eggs, fried plantains and sausage, just to name a few. The only reason for the 4 star rating is due to their guest policy. If you have a guest that does not reside at the hotel, they are not allowed to enter your room. You must visit in the outdoor atrium. The staff stated the reason for this policy is due to the high level of prostitution and sex trafficking in the country so they are doing their part to help fight against that. I do understand the rule, however, I think it’s silly to implement it at 12 noon when my best friend and her niece came over due to a power outage in the area that affected the home they were staying in. This is the only thing I would encourage them to review and make a change.

En general todo muy bien; solo opino que a los adultos mayores nos deben proporcionar habitación con espacios adecuados para la movilidad, tal como el baño y regadera en el mismo espacio de la recámara

Muito conforto e ótima localização

Maravilhosa experiência! Foram as camas e os travesseiros mais confortáveis entre os vários hotéis em que já ficamos. Equipe super gentil. Localização estratégica em Cartagena, a 10 tranquilos minutos a pé do centro histórico e a 3 minutos de caminhada leve do burburinho do Centro de Getsemaní. Adoramos tudo! Café da manhã bom.
Fabiana, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Nos gustó la ubicación, el hotel por dentro muy lindo y el desayuno incluido muy bueno. Lo malo fue que nunca funcionó el teléfono de la habitación la solución que nos dieron fue darnos el whatsapp de recepción y nunca contestaron los mensajes. Tampoco tuvimos agua durante nuestra estancia, la solución que nos dieron fue que nos bañáramos con baldes llenos de agua. No se preocuparon por mejorar la experiencia (ninguna devolución, cambio de hotel, nada).
ni para lavar nuestros dientes salía agua
los baldes que nos proporcionaron para poder bañarnos
nos dejaron una toalla rota

Incrível!

Eu amei minha estadia nesse hotel! O espaço é lindíssimo! Os funcionários são muito amigáveis e prestativos. Chegamos e nosso quarto já estava geladinho. Quarto muito grande e espaçoso, arquitetura rústica e histórica, bem a cara de Cartagena. Amei muito. Recomendei para minha amiga que também se hospedou no hotel e também ficou encantada. O rooftop é um bônus pois traz praticidade e comodidade aos hóspedes, pois podemos voltar de um passeio pela cidade e relaxar no rooftop. O pátio está sempre cheiroso, o café da manhã é gostoso, as camas são confortáveis, o chuveiro é ótimo, a banheira tbm. Fica muito próximo aos principais pontos turísticos da cidade. Fomos andando a Torre del Reloj e ao Castillo San Felipe. As ruas nos arredores são lindas! Voltaria sempre!
