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.

The property was a long hot walk from the clock tower but only a few blocks from the Getsemani murals, lively streets and restaurants. We had a duplex that was worn and smelled a little of old water. For some reason we had no phone in our 1st room. Water dripped from the light fixture into the bed the first night. The light fixtured flickered and looked like a small flame. We were moved to and upgraded duplex eventhough the staff was suggesting it just for the night. The sheets in the new room had to be changed right away. About three days later during a rain storm, water began to leak into the new room onto the bed, floor, near light fixture and in corner. We were moved to a smaller duplex. Downgraded. There was writing on the bathroom wall, the bed covers were dirty and the plumbing was leaking. Expedia gave us a couple hundred back to change hotel for our last 2 days. We had to add our own money to get a decent hotel. Not the best experience. And on our way out the staff tried to claim we ate from the mini bar but dropped it with our protest. One other thing tried to pay for 3 lemonado de cocos on day 2. Their card reader in the rooftop bar wasn't working so by the time we left the price changed. So pay right away if you can. The staff had no attitudes and tried THEIR best well except the last lady at the front desk who gave no eye contact and seemed mad when we left early. But the whole time NO APOLOGY. Not one.

This hotel was better than I’d even hoped! Our duplex room had 2 washrooms, which was an extremely pleasant surprise. The property is clean, the food is delicious, the breakfast well-stocked with plenty of variety, and the staff are amazing. They are incredibly friendly and go out of their way to help. There are some odd things about the property (elevator is a little finnicky, keycard didn’t always work the first time, some lights wouldn’t turn on), but nothing that impacted the quality of our stay at all. It can get a little loud with party buses driving by at night, so consider bringing earplugs. I’d highly recommend this property, and would stay again if I went back to Cartagena!

Cartagena as a vibrant city can be very noisy, but this hotel is located in a quiet area -still walkable distance to the main attractions- that is much appreciated. Please keep in mind that the building is very old and amazingly well kept; however, our room had a roof water leak. Other than that, the staying was perfect.

On our first night of 4 - the door lock broke and left us locked in our room for almost 2 hours. We kept calling the reception who evebtually realised the issue and staff had to climb into our room via balcony and take the lock apart and put a new one in. Our children found this quite scary and upsetting. I complained several times to re eption about the situation and had to plead woth them to provide food and drink for our children. There was no apology from hotel mangement or anythjng to make up for the issue. They eventually provided a meal for the children but jothing more. Pretty awful hotel management. The rest of the staff were very pleasant however and friendly. Aside from this rest of the hotel services were good but the experiende left a sour taste. Breakfast was good.

Disappointing experience, this isn’t a 5 or 4 star property more like a 3 or 2 star hotel gave us their worst room, in the building. I know we have booked their classic room but what they gave us wasn’t a classic room at all! All the classic rooms photos on Expedia has window but our room was a courtyard without window - basically i felt bamboozled by what i booked on expedia. - note to future guest, if hotel gives you the 217-1 room ask straightaway to other room! Entering inside room - you can’t control de AC temperature only on and off with the temperature setup for 16 degrees (freezing), all the wall were with black marks from suitcase and other stuff. All sockets were or broken or hanging from wall! No shower gel in bathroom, the hairdryer was proper for an cheap hostel A lot of noise from above, they have a deck on 3rd floor where is the bar that is just above our room so all noise comes to us, also i believe some of the swimming pool pipes past in the room ceiling so you can hear that noise all night. The minibar was older than my grandmother so i had to turn if off, i was feeling i was inside an aquarium The phone didn’t work! Next morning i went downstairs stairs to reception and mentioning the broken phone what reception told me “the phone is on mantenance it doesn’t work…” so if there was a fire… Reception only wanted to know if you wanted a tour if not they didn’t say hello to you! Marlom the bellboy was the only friendly staff
