Nice hotel
Let some start off by saying the hotel is beautiful and most of the staff is extremely friendly. My room was a nice size and had everything I needed. The rain shower was awesome. It had amazing pressure and was the best feature in my room hands down. The continental breakfast was delicious, they provided a great assortment of fresh fruits along with cooked foods like scrambled eggs, fried plantains and sausage, just to name a few. The only reason for the 4 star rating is due to their guest policy. If you have a guest that does not reside at the hotel, they are not allowed to enter your room. You must visit in the outdoor atrium. The staff stated the reason for this policy is due to the high level of prostitution and sex trafficking in the country so they are doing their part to help fight against that. I do understand the rule, however, I think it’s silly to implement it at 12 noon when my best friend and her niece came over due to a power outage in the area that affected the home they were staying in. This is the only thing I would encourage them to review and make a change.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property was a long hot walk from the clock tower but only a few blocks from the Getsemani murals, lively streets and restaurants. We had a duplex that was worn and smelled a little of old water. For some reason we had no phone in our 1st room. Water dripped from the light fixture into the bed the first night. The light fixtured flickered and looked like a small flame. We were moved to and upgraded duplex eventhough the staff was suggesting it just for the night. The sheets in the new room had to be changed right away. About three days later during a rain storm, water began to leak into the new room onto the bed, floor, near light fixture and in corner. We were moved to a smaller duplex. Downgraded. There was writing on the bathroom wall, the bed covers were dirty and the plumbing was leaking. Expedia gave us a couple hundred back to change hotel for our last 2 days. We had to add our own money to get a decent hotel. Not the best experience. And on our way out the staff tried to claim we ate from the mini bar but dropped it with our protest. One other thing tried to pay for 3 lemonado de cocos on day 2. Their card reader in the rooftop bar wasn't working so by the time we left the price changed. So pay right away if you can. The staff had no attitudes and tried THEIR best well except the last lady at the front desk who gave no eye contact and seemed mad when we left early. But the whole time NO APOLOGY. Not one.

This hotel was better than I’d even hoped! Our duplex room had 2 washrooms, which was an extremely pleasant surprise. The property is clean, the food is delicious, the breakfast well-stocked with plenty of variety, and the staff are amazing. They are incredibly friendly and go out of their way to help. There are some odd things about the property (elevator is a little finnicky, keycard didn’t always work the first time, some lights wouldn’t turn on), but nothing that impacted the quality of our stay at all. It can get a little loud with party buses driving by at night, so consider bringing earplugs. I’d highly recommend this property, and would stay again if I went back to Cartagena!

Cartagena as a vibrant city can be very noisy, but this hotel is located in a quiet area -still walkable distance to the main attractions- that is much appreciated. Please keep in mind that the building is very old and amazingly well kept; however, our room had a roof water leak. Other than that, the staying was perfect.
