If you stay in Cartagena, few hotels match the location of Centro Hotel. It´s at a stone throw of most of the Old cities attractions, like the Cathedral, the Clock Tower and the Plaza Santo Domingo. The rooms were a bit spartan, yet clean. There are however, a few things that we were not very happy about: 1. The guy... More

This is a bare bones hotel and I expected more for the amount I paid per night. It was clean and I didn't have any issues with bugs but I would not stay here again for the price. I'd spend a bit more for something nicer. Breakfast included a fruit plate, orange juice, scrambled (or fried) eggs, toast and coffee.... More

Excellent location, rooms are located surrounding an open courtyard. Nice ambiance and friendly staff. But the rooms could be better maintained, especially the showers. I changed room because of a leaking aircon and no hot water. The new room didn't have hot water either. For the price of this hotel hot water is a must even though in a tropical... More

This hotel is all about location location location. By going here you are in the heart of old town cartagena and only steps away from the magic. Cartagena is truly magical! The price is fantastic - I mean for that price I dont think anyone expects luxury. The rooms are okay - somewhat wornout but decent enough to stay in.... More

Cartagena is a beautiful and interesting city, and the Centro Hotel is well-positioned to explore it, and reasonably priced. That's the good news. The room we had was adequate, if not brilliant, but the shower was literally shocking. The shower head had an electrical gadget on the shower head to heat the water, but if you tried to adjust the...

Stayed two nights; friendly staff, great location and very cheap for the area! Recommend to anyone who wants to be right in the action but not pay a ridiculous amount for the privilege. More

It's not 4 star luxury...but man the price is fantastic. The pros: location, staff, room size, etc. The cons: no hot water, definitely a mold issue in the bathroom ceiling. But really...it's cheap and who wants hot water in Cartagena? I was thrilled with this place. Sure, there are cheaper hotels and hostels in the old city. I visited some... More

I found this hotel after many searches online and using Trip Advisor. We were very pleased with this hotel. It is a very cute boutique hotel, very clean and well maintained. Our room was small, but comfortable, and a great bargain. This hotel is located in the historic city which is inside the walled-in party of the city. This is... More
