this little hotel is situated in the old city of Cartagena. The rooms are simply furnished but they have their own toalett and shower. The hotel is very secure, clean and the stuff is so kind and helpful. The breakfast with eggs, bread, juice and coffe is served on the roof terass. We leaved there at first four nights and... More

Ladies, stay away from this place! The guy who checked me in seemed friendly. He told my husband and me that his name was Ricard, and that he had only one room available - 304. He brought us to the room. I asked him where the bathroom was. He showed it to me. I was exhausted from traveling and accepted... More

I paid dearly for this room. If you can find cheaper, go for it! But.. if want a nice area, pretty hotel and room, balcony view of the narrow Cartagena streets, then this is what you will get. The only downside was the entry. You have to ring the doorbell and wait for someone to open the door. If you... More

THIS IS NOT A HOTEL ! This is your basic backpackers B & B except you get your own room and pay dearly for it. It is clean but NOT WORTH HALF THE RIDICULOUS $65 a head. They DO NOT charge by the room but rather by the person, so if you are not alone it is an absurd $130... More

Hotel is in the cheaper bracket in Cartagena (though that isnt especially cheap in comparison with most of the rest of S America), and so you shouldnt expect too much. Its fine - clean, safe, air conditioned and in a good location in the old city. But rooms are a bit bare, there isnt really hot water, staff are not... More

nice rooms, basic, but rather big rooms. We had a room with a huge balcony, ask for that as some rooms are smaller. Clean. Nice terrace upstairs where breakfast was served. Good but not a huge amount of food. Great location and I think it was a very good hotel, in relation to what we paid. Stayed there July 2007.... More

I I was in Cartagena and I have to say that my stay at the Balcones de Badillo wasn't as pleasant as I expected. I had booked a suit (or how they call it at this hotel: swit) and i confirmed my rate and type of room with Antonio less than 24 hours before my arrival. He said all booked,... More

We stayed at Hotel Los Balcones de Badillo in Cartagena for one night in April. We rented two rooms since we were traveling with my in-laws and our two boys. The price seemed fair to us as travelers from the US who know how expensive Cartagena can be. First, I must say that Gisselle and her staff went out of... More

I loved my stay in May 2006, the low season. I walked in and got a room with tiny balcony overlooking Calle Badillo for $25. Very nice for the price but I'm now looking for late January 2008 and find it $47 for a single and $55 for a single in high season. I'll have to look for something cheaper.... More
