"Welcoming and friendly place to stay in Cartagena. Nice helpful staff, clean rooms, comfortable bed, free breakfast, cooling AC, 3 minute walk from the airport. While located in a more residential area had no issues finding places to eat, shop or transport to the center of the city. My only issue was the slow or nonfunctional wifi. Overall a decent place to stay!!!"

"Beautiful beach, water, etc. However, staying at this place was definitely not it for us. We arrived at airport in the middle of the night and could not get a hold of anyone to help us get to the hotel. We had to stay the night in a random hotel & try again in the morning. Terrible communication & accommodations. It is very remote, limited power (electricity), water, food, etc. We had to go find food outside of hotel & we’re lucky to find a restaurant. There’s no grocery or convenience stores....

"For some unknown reason this place was already rated "excellent" whereas there was no previous reviews. So I felt a little bit manipulated as this place without being bad was way overrated. Although the place is generally clean, it nis not maintained properly. Some stuffs need some fixing. The room I stayed in for almost 10 days had suffered water leakage in the wall which resulted in traces on the wall which has not been redone or even painted. The mattress is definitely not comfortable &...
