Cartagena is a very interesting historical place to visit. The old city is 6000 Pesos by cab and we feel it is very safe. Cabs were all honest. We speak little Spanish and were able to get around. The hotel staff is mostly friendly. The rooms need upgrade and are old. Two of the three main elevators were broken when... More

Good afternoon Mr. Kurt. We welcome your comments on Trip Advisor. During those days, the hotel's water system had a flaw that fortunately was overcome. We regret that your experience with the beach was not the best, we should have known about the case, we would have been able to advise on a transfer to other nearby beaches of the... More

It seems a little old both outside-inside, but the location is excellent -many restaurants and shops nearby- and the staff is remarkable. The food was not great but not bad either (when I stayed the menu changed day by day, putting special dishes from different countries). Overall, I didn't pick this hotel by myself but instead, it was "assigned" to... More

We chose the Almirante over the Hilton because we wanted a non-USA experience. Our disappointment was that it is not on the beach, but across the street from the public beach. And we did not know in advance that the water in CTG is murky in appearance and said to be polluted. We thought it would be like the Carribean... More

I took a short breakaway from a business trip in Bogota to this lovely town, so rich in history and culture, and the people were just so polite and gracious. However the hotel was a bit of run-down 70's concrete architectural mammoth with no foresight when constructed. First of all it was under major construction so the bottom was hollowed... More
