Location is great, right in Getsemani but quiet at night. The little pool on the rooftop was great after sunset to play a bit with our 3yo son, otherwise there is no shade. Breakfast was delicious. Beds are very comfortable.

Cartegena has so much culture and history. The food was fantastic! There is live music in every restaurant and bar. Traditional dancing can be found in the squares and you just need to tip. Just be aware of all the street hustlers, especially the rappers who will follow you. The old town comes alive after 8pm. Be prepared for the 90-100% humidity during the mid-day. It is best to site see early in the morning or evening and siesta or pool lounge during the mid day.

The "Old City" is beautiful and historic - and has excellent gelato! Unfortunately, no Dr Pepper...
The beaches are good, and provide a diversion (or a primary reason to go, if you are young) and a completely different atmosphere.

Lots to do if you work with local tourist agents.
Lots to do if you work with local tourist agents. Leave the area and go to Baru for glowing plankton or boats to Rosario archipelago. Old town. Watch out for street vendors selling trinkets and being too pushy.

The best attraction in Cartagena de Indias is the National Aviary of Colombia. There should be more options to visit it for more than 2 hours.
Photography tours with Paola Sanchez are also great for people who love photography.

A lot of great food options, best seafood in Colombia.
A lot of great food options, best seafood in Colombia.
Our favorites:
- La Cevicheria
- La Mulata
- Cafe del Mar ( bit pricey for what it is, but worth it for the sunset drinks )
- El baron ( great tapas in the middle of the square )
Town with a rich history and lots of important landmarks and sights to visit. Great colonial architecture, colorful streets and lively people.
It is very touristic, with a lot of locals non stop trying to sell/push tours/restaurants and goods on the street, felt a bit like India sometimes. There are great street performances of dance groups and artists happening, which i enjoyed a lot though!

Great place to visit as long as you don't mind being harrassed non stop by street vendors trying to sell you hats, cigars, sunscreen, tchotchkes and other things, having menus constantly thrown in your face or being honked at by multiple cab drivers if you stop on a sidewalk for even a second wanting to know if you need a ride. Everything worth seeing in Cartagena can be seen in one day, two tops if you want to see some places out side the city

The staff all around (Aldolfo, in particular, I believe was his name) is amazing. Everyone is kind, very courteous, and helpful. The hotel staff arranged for a PCS Covid test for me at the hotel prior to my departure. And that went well. There was always good amenities (pool area, full breakfast, towels and bathroom items).
Location is superb. A few blocks walking from Old Town and Getsmania areas where the nightlife is at. Wonderful historic plazas and buildings all around, a real old colonial feel.
- The room is very good, with air conditioning and looking historical,
- The beds are very comfy
- Breakfast was fresh and delicious
- The staff was extremely friendly and careful, also with the corona measures
- The hotel is in right in the old city of Cartagena and full with life, it didn't matter hearing the music of the old town a little late in the night
- Very good place to relax after spending hours in the chaotic and loud old town
- The hotel looks good
We really liked the location as it's close enough to the old city you can walk there but not so close that it's super loud (for the most part, see below). The beds and ac were surprisingly comfortable! The maids came and cleaned every day, we never had to ask them. The included breakfast was pretty good! The hotel worked with us with activities we scheduled to have them show up and pick us up directly, which I appreciated.
The staff was excellent. Extremely accommodating and professional with their guests best interest in mind. Large windows with great views, particularly on the beach facing side of the hotel. Boil is beautiful, and really loved having direct beach access (not having to cross any streets). Short cab ride from the old city in the evenings (~10 minutes). Will definitely stay here again in the future.
This hotel certainly met expectations. It is a beautiful luxury boutique hotel. The staff was attentive and I really liked their model for meals. Instead of providing breakfast, they provide you with a credit at the attached cafe which has some of the best coffee I've had in my life. The food is also incredible. The pool is intimate and really lovely. We really enjoyed our stay.
Fantastic staff. Great breakfast with many options including food from this specific region. Easy access to the huge beach, that by Colombian law is public. Very comfortable beds and pillows. Access to the city is easy since the hotel have taxis available for the short trip. The menu at the pool was good too with good cocktails and delicious fruit juices. We really liked this hotel.
Everything was amazing, staff at the bar, restaurants, front desk, etc. They were all so kind and extremely helpful. We planned our stay in another hotel and ended up switching hotels the first day to Las Americas Torre del Mar, and we were so glad we did. French fries were AMAZING!!!!! Transportation to the Old City was super easy. Definitely will be back very soon.
Staff was really great (and all called "Rosa", notably Rosa Roja, Rosa Azul, Rosa Negra). The hotel also helped us out with coordinating the Covid-tests we required for our return trip home. The hotel is located in one of the cutest streets of the old city, and everything was at walking distance from the hotel. Great place to stay when visiting Cartagena!
Location was excellent, but was also the only drawback. Gaiety in the street outside until well after midnight. Trinity Church plaza nearby was home to Indian folk festival, terrific breakdancing. Restaurants, art galleries, street food all close at hand. Total fun. Easy walk to Old City.
Yolanda and Gladys steered the ship magnificently.
Staff was very good, made all the dinner reservations, gave recommendations on the safe areas to go, arranged for the taxis etc.
Great location in the center of old city close to the clock tower. Very quiet inside the hotel.
Really good complimentary breakfast with both Columbian & western options, nice common areas with balconies
Good service. The staff was very helpful and kind. in the pictures you get the feel of space, but the rooms and the hotel itself is cramped and small. Though small, which you have to expect in the old city of Cartagena, the hotel and rooms are very cozy and well designed. cute and stylish. Beds are comfortable!
Nice and comfortable room as in the photos.
Pretty hotel, nice rooftop, nice location, less than 10 min away from the main old city centre (intra walls).
To get decent coffee, go to Libertario just 20m away from the hotel. Other than the undrinkable coffee, breakfast was good, pretty setting.
Hotel within old city walls but a few minutes walking from the busy area thus much more quite during the night, breakfast with 3 great options on the rooftop of the hotel, clean room, shower with hot water, super friendly staff,... In summary the perfect stay for your trip in Cartagena
The location was good. The breakfast was at least decent. One of the receptionists was really nice, he even gave me some cash (I deposited US dollars so he could borrow me Colombian Pesos). Because due to the incident with the hotel safe I was not able to get my credit card back.
Beautiful colonial house garden hotel. An oasis from the busy walled old city at the end of the street. Gorgeous big room with terrace and direct access to pool in garden setting. Very accomodating and friendly staff
In the old city, the hotel is well kept and comfortable with excellent and helpful staff. The breakfasts are incredibly good, with and excellent choice.
We would definitely stay here again when we return to Cartagena.
I've been traveling all of my life and living in Colombia several months each year since 2004. First time staying in the "old city" and it was a great experience. Try this hotel you'll like it.
My Go-to while visiting Bocagrande-Cartagena De Indias. Great staff, superb location, excellent breakfast in the morning. Safe location and super safe hotel! The POOL! Love!!!
