"Location is perfect to explore the Walled City and Getsemaní. Only a 5 min walk to the harbor where dive boats pick up. The staff went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. The room with balcony was clean, comfortable and decorated super cute. Upon returning to the room after a long day, you can turn on the AC, it has a 'turbo' option and the room is comfortable almost immediately. I traveled solo but it would comfortably fit 2 people. Bathroom was very clean and there is hot water...

"We had an amazing stay! The hotel was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Santiago was absolutely wonderful and made us feel very welcome. The young lady assisting with the breakfast service was also amazing and provided such friendly, helpful service. We took full advantage of the breakfast and pool, and both were great. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and honestly wish we could pick this hotel up and move it around with us whenever we travel so it would always be available!...

Soy Local Centro Historico

10/10 Excellent

"girl friendly hostel"

Hotel Casa San Agustin

10/10 Excellent

"The staff, facility and the whole experience was amazing. When you are inside the hotel property, the outside world is shut down and it feels like a sanctuary of its own. I enjoyed my experience."

Osh Hotel Cartagena

8/10 Good

"Lo único que no me gustó fue que a la hora del check out me cobraron un impuesto de $150,000 pesos colombianos que nadie me mencionó durante el proceso de reservación o a la hora del check in. Y también trataron de cobrarme por algunas otras cosas que no pedí. Como comida. Finalmente solo pagué por el impuesto. Pero nada diferente de todos los lugares en Cartagena 😂😂😂"
