Excellent staff, they make you feel like part of the family.

Andrade Colombia

Great atmosphere in this nice hotel perfectly located in Cartagena. Rooftop with swimming pool and bar with an amazing view on the city. Great parties organized on the rooftop. Friendly staff. Thanks guys!

Valentine Belgium

Perfect location in casa antigua, clean rooms, friendly staff who helped me with transportation to Baru. Highly recommend!

Ekaterina China

It’s rooftop and pool area. I’m happy to report that my personal items were intact despite leaving them out on my bed. The lockers are relatively small, it would only fit a mid size backpack, you do need a lock for the locker, I did that plus I leaving my luggage locked on top of my bed. I’d go a room next time just for the comfort of having ur own space.

Mely United States of America

Great location in the heart of Getsemani. Beautiful lobby with friendly staff. Private deluxe room was lovely with a cute balcony but do expect quite a lot of noise as it is right above a busy street. Great rooftop bars and pools that are a perfect get away from the busy streets. Amazing cocktails at a decent price.

Valerie United States of America

Loved the location. The private room w/bath was great. The staff were very helpful when they had time. It was very busy on New Year’s Eve

Jayne United States of America

The property is beautiful! Decorated with tons of foliage and 2 rooftop pools! The staff is super friendly and most speak English. They will store your luggage for you in a locked area with cameras if you arrive earlier then check in or aren’t leaving town till way after check out. We stayed one night, left for 3, then came back for 3 and they stored a large portion of our luggage while we were gone with no extra charges. The rooms are lovely and there is artistic eye candy everywhere!

Kayla United States of America

I loved that there are two rooftop pools with different vibes: one quieter for lounging, and another with a bar and music. I sat at the bar and had great conversation with the bartenders and other guests. It takes only 5 minutes to walk to the old city, but there are restaurants and entertainment nearby as well.

Alec United States of America

I brought my doggie with me and they were super nice with him! The staff is super nice and helpful and is good for young people, tons of activities to do

Angela United States of America

Only thing we didn’t appreciate was the mugginess of the rooms, which is hard to change simply by the nature of the location in such humid weather. While it was loud at night, everywhere seemed loud and it was always more of a welcoming feeling than a bother and never affected our sleep. Overall great value with a lovely pool that we got much use out of. Friendly staff!
