We did half board and were very happy with the quality of the food on offer.

Chose it based on location, easy walk from Renfe train (~ 5 min) and to Roman theater (~20 min) along with tapas bars (10-15 min). Just kinda old and worn down. Had to settle for 2 twins, each was rock hard. Had read some good things about the restaurant but didn’t try it. A bit of a funky smell walking in. Could use a facelift, everything was really clean and the room had a great view. Decent value for money, but definitely not luxe.

Quirky in Cartagena

A slightly quirky hotel with a mix of good and challenges. We had one of 3 rooms on 5th (top) floor. Nice view and quiet, however in the morning before breakfast the elevator stopped working, had to walk down one floor to a different elevator which was annoying when checking out as I had to carry luggage down and we both have bad backs. The price was moderate and included breakfast and parking so just be prepared for some inconvenience

Little gem of a hotel

Location is fantastic, on the edge of the sightseeing district with roman theatre etc. Close to both bus and train station. Staff were very professiinal and helpful. Room decor is a bit old fashioned for my taste but perfectly acceptable. Rooms were clean, shower was great, bathrooms had clearly been updated. Breakfast was a bargain at €10 each - small selection but perfectly adequate - various pastries, fruit, yoghurt, bacon, eggs, sausages and various cold cuts.

Overall would thoroughly recommend this hotel for a stay in cartagena and we will be back.

It seems ownership is simply not investing in maintaining the property. Our room needed complete renovation and many repairs to the bathroom.

Great hotel and great staff

We found the hotel lovely and the staff and ambience excellent. Our room was slightly dated but it was clean, comfortable and bright, with doors that opened to the view at the front. We found the food to be good and reasonably priced and we chose to eat there several times when we were weary after walking around the city during the day. Whilst initially the air conditioning in the room seemed ineffective, once it had been on a while it was fine and served its purpose. If we were to revisit Cartagena we would definitely consider staying at this hotel again

The property is in an excellent location for transportation and with a short walk the center of the city attractions. Staff are friendly and helpful. Cheerful rooms and beautiful views with large Romeo and Juliet balcony. One concern is the bathroom we had. There was no ventilation so as the guests shower humidity is trapped in the room and black mould is forming on the ceiling which is a health concern. A lot of it. The room is cleaned to a high standard yet this can’t be ignored.

The staff were very kind and helpful. Initially, we were very unsure of parking, but found a public space nearby. We parked, grabbed our bags and checked in. Then, we were told of the on-site parking so moved to that space. It is a protected area so you can only get it after you check in.

You can tell the hotel used to really be something and although it is clean, it needs some work...not necessarily updating, but refreshing. The caulk in the bathroom and the shower door were quite 'tired' - looked dirty though not dirty. The mattresses were just ok...

All-in-all, we loved or stay in Cartagena and this hotel is ideally situated by the train station and main road into town. The historical gems, harbor and 'downtown' walkable areas are only 10-15 min walk. We will stay again.

Bit old fashioned and in a slightly down at heel part of town. Aircon controlled centrally and not powerful enough. Ordered a double and got three single beds with bedding straight from the 70s. One of which was in the way of the wardrobe. Power sockets a bit sparse. Blackout curtain full of holes. Parking good if slightly awkward - in a storage yard next door, shaded, though places are limited.

Good hotel, muy bonita city!

I spent half my time at a 5* Hotel right in the main town square with work but then changed hotel for the weekend to save on personal costs. Los Habaneros was great value for money - the location is central and just a walk away from the Plaza area and Roman Theatre (and the other interesting points of Cartagena). For a central location, it also has the advantage of being quiet at night traffic wise so there is not outside noise. If you are looking to save some money on hotel costs, but still have a comfortable stay, then Los Habeneros comes with my recommendation.

The internet was included in my standard room rate and even though I was low key with requests/needs, I got a great impression from the Front Desk staff that they are very accomodating.

General info; I stayed in Cartagena in late January, low season but weather wise, mild and free from tourists! On a late Friday afternoon, I was the only visitor to the Roman Theatre - which was quite a treat to have all to myself. Cartagena is not such a tourist hub anyway, but if you are not looking to lax out on the beach, then the winter is a great time to visit. Try some Tapa restaurants off the main walkway - Calle ?? - El Rincon is an example of a local seafood restaurant which is basic but with great food and very authentic. Up a side street opposite the City Hall.
