Best ceviche I have ever had in my life was at the hotel restaurant. The breakfast was nice. Room was smaller than expected but clean and the staff were so friendly and helpful. The pool was also smaller the expected. But we were close to all the action and the bed was comfortable.

The hotel is located in a very cool area. Plenty of restaurants and bars and the narrow streets are filled with people. The hotel is lovely. We had an upgraded room overlooking the street with a balcony. The breakfast was good, the hotel spotless and the staff wonderful. A short walk to the old City and a supermarket about a block away. This is a wonderful place to stay; right in the heart of the city.

Lovely hotel in the heart of Getsemi

The hotel is lovely! Beautiful room and staff is very pleasant. Pool is on the roof and while small it is perfect to cool off after a hot day of walking around Cartagena!
The only thing for improvement is to offer enough complimentary coffee for the number of people in the room. We were told it would cost extra beyond what they provided in the room.

Great central location. Friendly/helpful staff. Annoying that you have to knock on an unassuming door to get in but easy after you figure it out and I guess it’s for security purposes. Would opt out of or not pay for breakfast if that is extra cause it was pretty bland and unexciting. Nice steam sauna though.

What a beautiful entry to Cartegenga. Hidden behind the beautiful white doors is a gem of a property with helpful and graceful personnel. Our only downfall is that our window faces the street and the party goers and passerby’s made noise thru 5 am every night! Had to sleep with headphones on but what a beautiful spot!

Good location in the heart of everything. Wonderful staff. Excellent breakfast and rooftop terrace/pool/spa. We enjoyed our week there.

Note: basic rooms are on the smaller side, but that was a minor issue for us. Also, most rooms do not have exterior windows, but that is a plus when you realize how busy/noisy (vibrant!) it is in the street outside.

The hotel is isolated from outside noises, however when you are in the room you can hear people passing for the halls, talking or dragging their luggages.

The location is perfect to walk to many restaurants, bars and malls.

Comfortable and quiet stay in a great location

I was looking to stay in the heart of the city close to all the action, but in a quiet spot. This hotel fit the bill perfectly and was a wonderful stay. Steps away from the lively areas in Getsemani and a short walk to Centro. Very peaceful and beautiful inside. The room was comfortable and cozy, my window faced a hallway inside but I personally didn’t mind not having a view as I had everything I needed for a nice short stay. The staff were helpful and friendly, and the breakfast was delicious.

Great location right in the heart of getsemani and Walking distance to the walled city. We always felt safe in the area especially at night. Staff were extremely kind and helpful throughout the stay. Delicious breakfast! Loved all the plants throughout the hotel. AC was always cold in the room!

Disappointed with the mattress quality. Felt old and hard as a rock. If you are a light sleeper, this hotel is not for you. You can hear everything that’s going on outside of your room and in the lobby. I recommend bringing ear plugs!

Aside from the mattress and poor sound proofing, we had a great stay.

This is an amazing boutique hotel. I truly enjoyed my time here. Everything was super clean and super comfortable with very attentive staff. The free breakfast was tasty and sufficient. I had the duplex room with a balcony. It was spacious and the beds were superb. The hotel is located on an a very active street in a popular part of town. This is a good thing because that makes it conveniently walkable to many restaurants, stores, entertainment, and transportation. Despite it's central location, this hotel is like a calm oasis away from all the hustle and bustle. Once you step foot inside the hotel it is as if you're on a secluded, luxury resort. This place is gem! I will definitely stay here again.

The hotel is located in a busy street where all the action and fun happens, yet we were surprised how we could not hear a thing at night as we would go to sleep. The breakfast was yummy with made to order eggs daily. Frankie was the one who checked us in, him and all the staff were so kind and helpful, always with smiles as we would come in and out. We rode the bikes one day and it was fun! Hope to be back for sure.

Totally recommend location on a popular street walkable distance to everything 10 out of 10. Staff was phenomenal, helpful and nice. In our package breakfast was included, and it was great. Although we did not use the pool area or the bar on the rooftop it was extremely beautiful. I would’ve loved an extra day just to stay up and enjoy. I definitely felt relaxed after being outside all day coming to the hotel. It was so awesome. check and check out easy.

I don't think I have ever written a review for a hotel before. This hotel deserves to know how much my group of ten travelers enjoyed the stay. The location is fantastic, we walked to every attraction except Islas del Rosario and Convento de la Popa. The hotel smells amazing. We sought out the fragrance to bring home with us! The staff is friendly and helpful. Karen handled the check-in and it was smooth. Alphonzo showed us to our rooms and carried our bags. The welcome drink and cool towels were refreshing. The stay included a great free breakfast. Freddys and Edwin were a welcoming sight each morning. They introduced us to salsa de ají and prepared eggs to order. I'm sure the young adults in our group will stay in touch with them. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The AC was very much appreciated. I would definitely stay here again and again.

Lovely quiet spot in the middle of everything

We spent five days here. The hotel location is perfect, within walking distance to all the restaurants, tours, and scuba pickup spots we planned. It’s in the middle of everything but quiet at night. Loved the roof deck pool, breakfast, and the friendly staff. Rooms are small but nice. Only thing we didn’t like was that there isn’t a lot of privacy for the bathroom, and no place to hang towels. But overall we loved it.

Stayed for 4 days, and it was a wonderful! The breakfast held many options from yogurt to scrambled eggs, and agua frescas which was very convenient for our mornings before heading out. The surrounding area is safe and kept busy by many tourists around, and the hotel is kept locked the whole day making myself and my friend feel very safe. The rooms were clean and the staff were very nice and helpful with any questions we had. We did also partake in the massage services on our last day of the trip, which was a great ending to our stay in the hotel. I would recommend this place to anyone and definitely will come back to it when I come back to visit Cartegena.

The hotel and staff at the hotel were great. It is in Getsemaní right outside the walled city and the area is very lively and safe but appears a little off-putting at first glance. When you pull up at the hotel you may be “ no way - this is it !” but when you open the door it’s amazing inside. If you are used to glitz and glamour this is not the area for you.
