Ioannis Greece

The location of the hotel is ideal in the heart of Cartagena. The hotel is a former monastery with a beautiful courtyard full of plants and elegance. The breakfast is very good and the concierge service is excellent.

Lizeth France

beautiful oasis in the old historical centre of Cartagena

Ximena Switzerland

The garden is awesome, the breakfast too. The hotel granted us a free diner and a drink for the inconvenience of waiting for our room.

Desmergers Colombia

Everything, from staff to location, room and swimming pool. Great hotel.

Xavier United States

The breakfast was excellent, and the lunch also very good. The rooms were comfortable and large, the staff friendly and helpful. Cartagena is not a big city, but the hotel is very well located for walks in the town. It is picturesque and has a very interesting history, so that was enjoyable. The hotel has a nice atrium courtyard, with well-established plants, that is great for eating breakfast. There is a large pool, which is nice to use during the day.

Erich Australia

This is a beautiful hotel in every way! The staff collectively were outstanding. They were all friendly, responsive and attentive to every need. Food was excellent, well presented and delicious. The pool and surrounds were relaxing and well maintained. The range of facilities and extras was as expected from a hotel of this calibre.
