Location: by the sea wall. Where it is part of the walking tour, my room was room 11 has a balcony overlooking San Felipe Castle (20 mins walk from the hotel). Everything was within walking distance, 20 mins to the clock tower. Lots of dining options around the block. Airport is about 30 mins away with traffic, around 25,000 colombian peso (US$1 = 3,800 in money changer place). The area is safe as well, I travelled solo and no problems walking in the anytime. The most I was out was around 11pm. Many people hang out by the wall and it has a security guard 24/7.
Room: quite very noisy up to 12 midnight, it’s on the main road. If you’re a light sleeper then this room is not for you (rooms 12 and 11). But this didn’t bother me, I stayed for 4 nights and slept well. Water pressure in the shower, faucet and toilet flush is good. 2nd floor walk up. Third floor has the open terrace and has a jet tub, I didn’t have the chance to try it, kinda humid and mostly it rains every evening. All channels in TV are in Spanish. AC is excellent, no problem with it. No hot water, but you don’t need it, it comes out lukewarm after a few minutes. It’s a small room just enough for two people.
Breakfast: has 2 eggs everyday (sunny side and scrambled) fruits, fresh juice and the Colombian coffee is delish, I rarely drink coffee but i drank it for 4 days, it’s just that good.
Staff: the owner and everyone from the front desk to housekeeping are very helpful. I highly recommend this place.

The staff were very kind and attentive. Breakfast was made individually every day and felt very local. The location is great since it’s not right in the middle of everything but it’s definitely walking distance.

What a fabulous stay. All the staff went out of their way to be friendly and helpful and Cristian especially was such a gem. Nothing was too much trouble. Great rooftop area with views of the castle. The hotel is just beautifully decorated and rooms big, cool and comfortable. Excellent location, would highly recommend.
4.0 / 5.0
The place is nice but the entrance is a bit annoying and out of the way. You have to ring a bell to come in and have the staff open the door to get out. No big deal but I wish I could just come and go as I please without having to bother anyone.

Pros: great location for exploring Getsemani, super friendly staff, affordable, rooftop terrace, free breakfast was served, and having a check out time of 1pm was really nice.
Cons: wifi didn’t work in our room for majority of the time and room doesn’t block out sound from outside so it’s a little difficult for light sleepers in the early morning and night.
*no hot water, but the lukewarm water was definitely not a problem with the hot climate of Cartagena

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Breakfast was perfect to start the day.. coffee…fantastic. We throughly enjoyed the rooftop jacuzzi. One thing is there is no hot water in the shower.. apparently this is in the entire area.. cool showers were great and definitely not a deterrent for a return stay. Staff and owner very accommodating, knowledgeable and helpful. Will definitely stay here if we come back to Cartagena. Highly recommend this hotel.

I liked that it had a real feel of Cartagena. It didn’t feel just like another hotel plopped down somewhere. Leo and Luz were great!

The patio has a beautiful view. Walking distance to Manga and right there in Getsemani. Room was a little small but the service is great. They are very kind there.

The rooms are very simple. A bed and little else. Bathrooms are tiny. The water is lukewarm, no separate hot water faucets, but fine for such a hot climate. By USA standards, 2 star. For the right price, it’s a good hotel. The location is good and Getsemene is very fun. The air-conditioning is great, the bed comfortable, the owner speaks English and the staff Is terrific, good breakfast.

A truly wonderful place to stay while in Cartagena! Leo and the rest of the staff go beyond to make their guests feel welcomed and comfortable. The property is located just a short walk outside the walled city in Getsemani. This is actually a big positive as 1) Getsemani is a very cool area with lots of character and 2) the walled city is very hectic with tons of tourists and traffic. It was always a reprieve to come back to the Hotel which had a very relaxing vibe. I hope I can return again one day to Hotel Patio de Getsemani and wish the owners and staff all the best!

We love this place. Very inexpensive and very friendly. So convenient to Plaza Trinidad (VERY fun area). It’s on the edge of the area but walking to other end is a fun 30-minute tour. Breakfast was fabulous with fresh fruit eggs toast and friendly conversation.

This was a lovely hotel in the quieter part of Getsemani. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Great views from the terrace and close proximity to cafes and restaurants.

I absolutely loved this hotel! We initially stayed one night, but the service was so great and it was so comfortable that we’ve decided to extend and book two more nights! It’s also in a great are, with most of the tourist destinations and restaurants within walking distance. One thing I’ll mention is that there is no hot water, but it’s so hot in te area that it didn’t really make a difference. And the water is Luke warm so it’s not uncomfortably cold. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. Would definitely recommend.

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The owner was very willing to help us when we arrived late. Breakfast was also included and great. The hotel is a little out of the way, but was nice and quiet. One of the best hotels we stayed in in Colombia.

I felt at home here. Each person on staff was great. The rooms are basic but comfortable and the air conditioning worked well, very much a necessity in Cartagena. They do not have hot water but the showers were not unpleasant, I did not find that to be an issue. The hotel is located right on the edge of Getsemani so everything is very close by. This is in the middle of a neighbourhood, the buildings next door are a bit rundown, but I did feel safe walking back and forth from the hotel.

This hotel is a cheap no frills option when wanting to stay in the center of Getsemani - it's on the edge of the area where the street its on feels a little unsafe, but we didn't have any bad experiences with safety, it just felt more 'rundown' then the more centered part of the area. The breakfast was great and the room was clean.
2.0 / 5.0
The bed is comfortable. The location is excellent for seeing the sights. The area feels a little sketchy with people hanging out on the historic city wall (just across the street from the hotel) at all hours. Sometimes they like to yell things. I walked down this street quite a few times and no one ever bothered me. That is both at night and during the day. But it looks sketchy. I am a man. I'm not sure how I'd feel walking down this street at night if I were a woman. I don't think I would. Staff is wonderful. All of them are as kind and helpful as you can get. No one speaks great English, but they do speak some. And they will try to help in any way they can. You will not feel like no one wants to help - they are SUPER NICE here. Breakfast is always different and quite good. The rooftop area is a great place for a cold drink and to look out over the town. Drinks (coke, beer, etc.) are available for purchase and are very reasonably priced. Internet is not strong everywhere, but it is pretty good. No hot water in the shower - be prepared. But it is hot in Cartagena and this is not as a big a problem as you may think. Rooms have good air conditioners.

as others have stated esperanza and leo were incredible hosts as well as the rest of the staff and cannot even begin to describe the incredible hospitality i received. nice 12 room hotel located across the road from the old wall with great view of Castillo de San Filipe de Barajas. i had room 12 located with view of castillo and facing the road. noise was really not that bad at all and worth the view. room was about 10 x 15 (which included the bathroom) and at first seemed a bit small but then room had king size bed. nice rooftop terrace with small jacuzzi, great for relaxing and reading and, again, great view of castillo. breakfast area has three tables with four chairs each so you may have to share a table which is fine so as to talk to fellow travelers. breakfast was always good which consisted of coffee, juice, granola cereal, sliced fruit, then something different such as scrambled eggs with diced ham and toast one day, then arepa con huevo another day, or a grilled cheese and meat sandwich another day. staff is always more than willing to help in any way such as booking trip to "volcan el lodo de totumo" and loaning towel or giving advice on how to get to la boquilla beach, which area is better and where to eat. loved the old door to the hotel and the hand made metal work behind the office desk and breakfast area. would i stay there again should i return to cartagena? without a doubt and would not hesitate to recommend hotel to others.

The staff here are really great. The breakfasts were very tasty and different every morning. Nice budget accommodation in a less touristy part of Getsemani (so close by very tasty and more affordable food). Nice view from the roof with a jacuzzi on top.
