The Bantu is one of many small boutique hotels in the old district of Cartegena that are in restored mansions and commercial buildings. All the ones we saw maintained their colonial architecture, which means that they were oriented away from the street toward an inner courtyard or atrium so that it was difficult to judge differences among them.

I only wish I would have discovered this hotel earlier. After a few nights in a very mediocre place a few blocks away, I switched to the Bantu on my last night in Cartagena and could not have been more pleased. I was traveling with a friend and they set us up in a huge room with two beds, one... More

A true hidden gem in the heart of old Cartagena. The rooms are huge, very clean and the beds are great. On the roof there's a nice outdoor-area with a swimming pool . The staff is friendly and nice, I will definitely return.

Centrally located in the heart of old Cartegena this hotel provides value in a generally overpriced city. Warm and inviting atmosphere, attentive staff and large rooms equals value in this expensive city.

Centrally located Bantu Hotel is a great hotel to stay at. Many rooms to choose from, the upper level one's offer a little more quiet and privacy. A great rooftop pool offering a vista of Cartagena. A little on the expensive side, but worth it.
