Jo United States of America

Great breakfast. Staff was super nice. Pool was good. Location is excellent. Very close to wherever you want to be in Cartagena. Mattress was comfy. Air conditioning was good. Reasonably priced for the location and caliber of hotel.

Tenouz United States of America

Friendliness of the staff, breakfast quality and terrace!

Diana United States of America

Great location, rooftop with pool and and amazing view of Cartagena. Breakfast is served at the adjacent cafe and can also be taken to the rooftop, enjoying the view.

A great little boutique hotel in the heart of The Old City, located right across from the town square and around the corner from The Clock Tower. Great location! The property itself is extremely clean, and well kept considering the damage that ocean air can do. you can see how much pride this hotel and its’ staff take care in and of this property. Bonuses for me were the in-house restaurant which served many options of breakfast especially, amongst many other meal options; and the rooftop patio with a plunge pool and one of THE best rooftop views of the city!! The staff here from front desk to maintenance to housekeeping to restaurant are so friendly and helpful. They really made me feel comfortable, safe and well taken care of.

Lianne Canada

GREAT breakfast delivered to room, possibly best cappuccino I’ve ever had. Room was excellent, very clean. Nice pool to cool off and relax and enjoy view in evenings. Loved the location in the old city and I would definitely recommend staying here.

Steven United States of America

Everything, I have recommended to everyone and the Staff OMG Great Team all of them were Amazing Great Job!

Isalmy United States of America

The rooftop was cute, although maybe they could do with a few more umbrellas. Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable. It was in a good location, provided you want to be in the heart of things in the old city.

Eben United States of America

The staff at this hotel are phenomenal people. They help make you feel very welcomed to beautiful Cartagena. In addition, the location is great and the hotel has an amazing rooftop with terrific views of the city.
