Perfect for us
This place exceeded our expectations. Conveniently located with restaurants, cafes, shops and attractions just metres away. A beautiful old building with a friendly feel, we enjoyed the balcony overlooking the main street where everything happens. Special mention goes to staff at reception and ladies preparing fresh breakfast. Highly recommended.

Pros: Excellent location and great price. Cute decor. Cons: No hot water — though the lukewarm water was sufficient in the hot weather. The room did include AC, but they don’t give you the remote to control it. Also, I stayed for 3 nights, and my room was never cleaned and I was never given any new towels. Also, the windows in my room did not fully close, allowing mosquitos to get in and I got a ton of mosquito bites.

Odd vibes.
This place was fine. Nothing overly exciting or pleasant but nothing terribly wrong either. It had a weird vibe though and the lobby was very uncomfortable to be in.

The room was small. The staff was good except for the fact they have a company charge which I don't think is on the books.

Hotel with character, well-located, nice roof-top terrace bar. Could do with better light and noise-proofing as the rooms overlook a very noisy square with nocturnal goings on until very late.

Very nice rooms
Nice place, good location close to center, nice staff, trying to help as much as they can. No hot water at bathrooms. There are too many staff members that are involved in everything you need, we got a very weird feeling after paying for 3 nights and the day after we got a receipt for 2 nights and different amount...

Simple clean room in great location!
Good clean room. Friendly staff. Upgraded to a bigger room after my first night but no complaints obviously! Staff are very lovely and approachable and happy to book tours etc or give you local info. Only thing they could improve on is daily housekeeping wasn't always the case (they aim to be environmentally friendly with towel/sheet changes). They provide a laundry service for a small fee. Breakfast was simple but included which was nice. If you want a clean room in a good location this is the place for you! I decided to stay a couple extra nights here which was great!

When I got there, they didn't have my reservation. I waited and after like 40 mins i was finally able to get a room. The next morning I requested another room because some birds didn't let me sleep. They were willing to move me to another one but that one was close to the kitchen. The hairdryer didn't work and they didn't have another one for me to use. overall it was an ok experience. The hotel is close to a few fun places to hangout and walking distance to the centro.

Charming place with a good location
This is a small hotel. We found our room charming and the balcony was nice to watch people in the streets. The location was within walking distance of the main walled city and only a few blocks away from the local area square that had nightly activities. There are a lot of good affordable restaurants nearby.

A great budget hotel near the old city
This is a wonderful, cozy budget hotel within 10 minutes walk to the old city. It has a few rooms and feels more like a bed and breakfast than a hotel. In its category, I will rate it 5 stars for cleanliness, safety, comfort and friendliness of the staff.

They could do better
Don't become to friendly with the staff, I did and paid the consequences they will wait until we leave the hotel and they will turn off the AC and Cartagena is too hot so when we come back the room is hotter than outside, the water pressure is horrible, the breakfast is ok and going back to be friendly one morning I was the first in the kitchen and Mary ignored me and gave breakfast to the other guest , the wifi half of the time doesn't work and more little things that at least if I ever go back I would not stay there. This is not that I'm mad is just they should paid attention to this details to make the place better. The good thing is right in the center and you could walk every where you are close to everything. It was our first time there and we love Cartagena but the owner should paid attention to the cleaning of the room.

An oddball hotel
This is an odd hotel. The location is excellent for access to the historical centre and local restaurants. The rooms back directly onto reception and the breakfast room so you are always woken by the morning breakfast preparations. The bathrooms also back onto the breakfast area but with only a wall and no ceiling separating them! As you might expect parties on both sides of the wall can hear each other whether they want to or not. The hotel reception is very disorganised. Nobody speaks a word of English and we spent nearly one hour using Google translate to decipher a simple credit card rejection without success. Breakfast is fresh fruit, omlete, toast, coffee and juice, the same every day. The room is clean and comfy.
