Location is great doesn't look like much during day but at night the streets around the hotel are filled with bars and restaurants. About a ten minute walk to the Clock Tower. Lots of dining options. Breakfast was lovely in the courtyard. There is no elevator. Our room was huge but the bathroom very small.

Caution food
The room was great, but aluminum foil was found in our eggs during breakfast. If we had eaten that it would have caused serious problems and thus the poor review.

Hotel lies about rooms and over charges.
booked and paid more for a room with a balcony. Got in my room, no balcony. Complained and was told that no balconies existed in the hotel, only windows. Showed the reception a picture of a room with a balcony and he changed his story to "there are only 2 rooms with a balcony and they are occupied" I said but I paid for one, it is my room. He just repeated occupied and turned away. Basically ripped off for $25 extra a night.

The rooms were pretty clean. However, I took the sheet off of the bed and found the mattress cover to have stains on it as well as the pillows under the cases. Those should be washed regularly as well. The staff were pretty good, although only one staff member that I ran into, during my 5 night stay, spoke English; which is fine (I can and did use Google translate as my Spanish is fairly basic), they just didn't seem to want to interact with me due to the language barrier. If you dont speak Spanish or speak minimal, have Google translate handy. The location cannot be beat as it is very walkable and there are many great restaurants in the area. I am travelling solo and never felt unsafe anywhere I walked in this area. Breakfast was included and was good each time; a second coffee would be fantastic! All in all, a really great little boutique hotel.

Sweet, affordable and very convenient. In lively Getsemani area but just off the main area so nice and quiet. Lovely staff, nice breakfast included. Good air conditioning, but room smelled a little damp. Rooftop pool is very small, but does the job of cooling you down!

El Hotel en general esta bien, pero las habitaciones se ven mejor en fotos. Nuestra habitación con balcon hacia la calle tenia un olor super fuerte a humedad, adicional a esto la llave del lavamanos estaba despegada como a punto de caerse. El hotel solo tiene una piscina funcionando lo cual nos decepcionó mucho. Loa chicos del transporte y del restaurante bien. Pero la chica de recepción no tenia la mejor actitud. Falto muchísima cordialidad. Creo q pudimos haber encontrado una opción mejor por el precio que pagamos.

Good value / might have water if raining
Good place for the price with good breakfast and clean rooms. It is a bit dated and spartan in the fit and finish department. Room was flooded when rain water seeped in but the staff quickly resolved it. Ac was strong and everything else was fine.

Overall good hotel for the price
The hotel is in a quieter part of Getsemani which was nice. We didn’t have to hear all the late night noise. The staff was super friendly and breakfast was made to order. The room was pretty bare and not the most comfortable given how beautiful the interior of the hotel was but overall we enjoyed our stay.

Rude receptionist on arrival, condescending and impolite. When additional face clothes requested two hours into stay, everything was an inconvenience for him. During stay, bathroom ceiling collapsed and fell in. Had to move rooms. Room cleanliness was marginal at best. Room service and housekeeping was slow to respond. 3/10 stars at best. Would I stay again? No. We’ve stayed at other boutique hotels in Cartagena and they were amazing. This one needs some work.

Clean and comfortable. Right in the heart of the lively getsamani district, but far enough away from the main streets to not be too noisy. About a 10-15 minute walk to the walled city. Breakfast was very good. The rooftop pool was a great place to take a break from the middday heat.

Decent - nothing great but Ok for sure.
Great location but we got caught in a bait and switch - we upgraded the room which was postage stamp size to an "adequate" sized room - other than that and the increased costs the property was in line of others we stayed at for the price.

This is a great property at its price point. It’s in a great and accessible location. I would use it again. However, be aware, no friends are allowed. I was attending a conference and tried hanging out with one of my colleagues using the hotel’s amenities and he was stopped from passing the lobby. That aspect was very intrusive I felt.

The location of the hotel was freat. The room was big and the bathroom as well. Pretty clean and bed was comfortable. AC was working pretty well. The wifi didn't work at all or barely and the shower was cold. Took forever to have it a bit warm and still.. never hot. There is construction right in front of the hotel so kind of noisy from 7am to 9-10pm when i was there

The hotel is very well maintained and nicely decorated. There are places to sit and chill on every floor, and the roof pool has a hydro-massage area (which, unfortunately the water jet is not very strong), and canapés where you can chill as well. The breakfast was simple but very good. All the personnel was very nice and attentive. Only downside, and it's nothing the hotel can control, is there's a noisy construction beside, but only during the day. At night is very quiet, although is near one of the busiest streets at the Getsemani quartier.

Upon check in our air conditioning wasn’t working. Front desk promptly moved our room to an upgraded room. Room was clean and comfortable. The shower though was AMAZING!! Had great water pressure and hot water. I could have stayed in shower for hours. Breakfast was freshly made daily. Area was in great location, only issue is someone always trying to sell something. No fault of hotels, they were on every corner in city. I would definitely recommend.
