The location is great for the price. We walked to the walled city in less then 10 minutes. The hotel is next to a church and the road its on is a little dark. If you are open for an adventure this a a great place. If you would like a fancy hotel dont stay here. The ac is cold... More

Our room was clean, the AC worked, we had warm water , Wi fi worked and the staff was pleasant, however, the room was very small and felt dump and dark and beside the sofa by the front desk there was no common area to sit down and relax. The location for site seeing was great but this hotel is... More

The reception is nice looking and gives à welcoming vibe. The reception staff was friendly, no complains about that. The room the gave us was the one closest to the reception. It was horrible! Avoid that! It was someone elses hair left on the toilet, and it just felted so unfresh. The other rooms did though look a little bit... More

I found this a charming little "hole in the wall" place. There was not much to it but what more do you really need than a bed, toilet and shower? The Air conditioning worked very good... we had to turn it off several time even. Wi fi worked great. Very pleasant and friendly staff.

We booked our first 2 nights here and were concerned because it was such a great price. What a wonderful surprise it was when we arrived and found a great little hotel. It had a very european feel. Small but immaculate and wonderful staff. We had wi-fi and A/C in the room and they even had a little dog to... More

We are a family of 8 (two parents and 6 kids under 18) traveling through South America. We shipped our vehicle to Cartagena and needed a safe, clean, affordable place to wait for it to arrive. This hotel is not romantic or fancy but it is safe, clean and the wifi even let us watch Netflix! We had the family... More

The price is great for Cartagena, especially given the location. The hotel is a seven minute walk from Old Town, and contrary to a few reviews, it's not in a bad or dodgy section of Cartagena. I feel safer here than I did in Portland on a Sunday afternoon. The staff is also really nice and friendly. The rooms are... More

It's really near the nice part of Cartagena but it's a dodgy area. The cleanliness was ok and you are given soap and towels but the room was just so tiny and therefore so was the bed. The shower was also cold so look for another one if you need hot water. What really bugged me though is that every... More

The hotel is very well located in the 'colourful' neighbourhood just outside the old town, easy access to all parts of Cartagena. Our air conditioned room was newly renovated, very clean and comfortable and complete with cable TV. The only drawback was the lack of a window. Yes we paid a little extra for the comfort of air conditioning, this... More
