Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This hotel is in a far corner of the Getsemani neighborhood, super walkable to the walled city. It has good bones and the potential to be such a gem, but felt like the whole place needed a good scrubbing from floor to ceiling. We did love the pool- small but clean with a nice bar area. Staff were helpful! Breakfast wasn’t the best we had in Colombia- average. Overall, a pleasant stay. Also a note- we are a family of 4 with school aged children. This neighborhood had many bars and there was music pretty late into the evening. Not the hotel’s fault, but something to consider in choosing an area to call home base.

Outstanding hotel with amazing staff. We had a corner room with a second bed and bathroom in a mezannie. Very comfortable beds in an outstanding location. Great breakfast. Closed to the bars and restaurants in Getsemani, but far enough to keep the noise away. That said, the hotel seats next to a busy road, and the drivers in Cartagena love to honk their horns, so earplugs are a must for sleeping (I always wear ear plugs when sleeping in hotels anyways). We slept great despite of the traffic. You can walk everywhere in Cartagena from this hotel. The hotel architecture and rooms are perfect, but the pool can use some love. Not a deal braker. I would definitely stay here again because of its location.

Large, comfortable 2-room suites with strong air conditionaing and a great view from the roof-top bar. I was concerned we might have a lot of traffic noise from the bridge but it was not a problem. The only reason I deducted one star was the location. It is the farthest from old town while still being in Getsemani. So, plan to walk bit to get to old town and it can get hot during those walks.
