Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Not given the room that I paid for. Could not receive that room because guests were occupying it and it was actually next door to the room given me which I noticed when the maid was cleaning it. Requested fresh towels at front desk. That never occurred. The shower was not hot. Below lukewarm is the best way to describe it. The area has limited dining within walking distance. The hotel is short taxi to the Centro/Getsemani area (12.000COP) 25.000COP from the airport 14.500COP to the airport. Bocagrande Beach (15.000COP)

On my initial check-in I was given the wrong room. I spoke to the front desk and they gave me another room which was slightly better than the previous but again not the room that I booked. I learned upon check out that the guest next door actually had the room that I booked, once I saw the maid cleaning it, which made it clear why I never received my actual room. The room I ended up with had a balcony but no kitchen. Looked like it had been recently renovated but the craftmanship was subpar. The paneling on the bathroom door was loose, the sink was loose and the shower was not hot at all. I've stayed at this hotel on previous visits but this was by far my worse experience. I was deliberately held up on checkout over a towel that had a small stain. I just paid for it so I didnt keep my taxi waiting any longer trying to wait for their cleaning lady to see if the food stain would come out. I had to use the same towels my entire 5 day stay although I had requested new towels at the front desk. That just put a sour taste in my mouth as this is one of my preferred hotels in this area. It has made me contemplate not staying there in the future due to the pettiness with the towel.
Customer service needs to get a little better, I asked for toilet paper because wasn’t any in the room by the time we arrived, took way too long to get it, beside that the workers were nice people.
The room was clean and well equipped but the maintenance of the building was not very good: small things not fixed: electrical plugs, sink water was loose
This apartment hotel was great value for money. Impeccably clean. Lovely location. Great terrace. The only thing is the kitchen had nothing but a fridge and a sink. But its all we needed! Grocery store (Olympia in mall) just 5 mins walk.

YOU GET LESS THAN WHAT YOU PAID FOR
The room was way smaller than what I paid for giving what I saw in a photos. The hotel didn't have any hot water. The cooking area was tiny with a hot plate again not what was advertised. The only thing I like about the hotel was the internet and the honest staff.

Staff a A+
A/C system doesn’t work very well. But customer service was great. Very good staff.
Nice big room, with a huge bed. Everything is new and very clean. Guys at the front desk were very helpful. Nice quiet area, 2 blocks to the bridge to Getsemani, but none of the night time noise of the city. Only drawback is no elevator so need to use the stairs. But the guys at the desk carried my suitcase both up and down the stairs, so that wasn't a problem
Comfy beds. View from the top floor terrace was magnificent and breezy. A nice reprieve from the Cartagena heat. Lots of stairs as there is no elevator. Good way to get in shape. Otherwise ask for a lower floor. Cool water shower only but it was okay.
