The ocean views are amazing, the breakfast is good and they have fair variety, but on our first night the hotel had no running water and we were stuck before our tour. We contacted reception and they kept lying until they said that the entire area had no running water. That is wack because a hotel is supposed to provide 24/7 water. Would stay there again? It’s a no from me due to that inconvenience.

I stayed at Hotel Cartagena Dubai for my birthday, and I was honestly so disappointed. I had high hopes based on the photos online, but they were completely misleading — definitely catfishing. The hotel looked old and worn out from the moment we arrived, and I immediately regretted booking it. We had reserved a king room (online said slept two people), At check-in, we were charged more than what was listed online for the additional person, which felt unfair and unprofessional. For the price, we expected much better — especially since places like the Hyatt are at the same level price-wise and offer a far superior experience. The room was at least clean and smelled good, but everything felt dated and poorly maintained. It just didn’t feel special — definitely not the kind of place you want to celebrate a special occasion like a birthday. Also, it’s not centrally located at all. We ended up spending most of our time (and money) in the Walled City, which is absolutely where you should stay if you’re visiting Cartagena. I wouldn’t stay at Hotel Cartagena Dubai again. If you want a memorable trip, skip this one and book something inside the Walled City — trust me.

There was a number of things wrong in my room. The phone didnt work. The wifi was sometime-ish. Shower did not produce hot water. And there was no fixtures or drawers or anything for my clothing. Paint was dripping off the wall from the Air conditioner. And my safe wasnt working. But, maybe i had a bad unit. No one else in my party had these complaints.
