Pros: The good: Very nice staff. Beautiful indoor pool and charming architecture. Comfortable beds. You cannot beat the location.
The bad: On our first night they put us in a terrible room (#105.) DO NOT ACCEPT THIS ROOM. ASK TO SEE YOUR ROOM BEFORE ACCEPTING. The room was dark, noisy, with a tiny window and a bathroom that was not air conditioned and had a window opening to the street that could not be closed! Again, be careful with the rooms because some are terrible. In the end, however, after staying in a decent room for several nights but which began to smell of sewage we were moved to a lovely room.
The other issue is that the menu doesn't change and, after several days of the same selections we wanted variety.
Overall, if you get the right room, it's an excellent hotel with very nice staff.

Pros: The hotel is beautiful. The staff is always willing to help to make sure your stay is unforgettable. The restaurant ALMA, located in the hotel, is one of the best restaurants in Cartagena. If you are going to spend time in the hotel and are with someone special, this is the place to stay. Unlike the bigger luxury hotels in Cartagena, this hotel offers a more personal/intimate service since there are only about 30 rooms! One of my favorite parts was the coconut treats that the staff leaves in your room every night, which are made in the hotel. I liked them so much, i bought a dozen to bring back with me!

Pros: The service was excellent and the included breakfast was amazing (mostly typical breakfast from Cartagena)! Juan took great care of us during breakfast and his service was on point every day! Roberto, Jessica and another young lady (I'm sorry i forgot her name) helped with restaurant reservations/recommendations! The hotel is very intimate and well done, only 12 rooms. The rooms were great, but my favorite part was the shower (strong pressure, which feels amazing after a day of sun tanning)! The roof top pool is perfect for having a couple of drinks, while getting some sun! Loved this hotel and will return! The overall experience was more than we expected (and we had high expectations)!

Pros: I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed this hotel. You have all the amenities you could want from a top grade hotel, paired with a friendly/warm staff who make it feel more like a boutique hotel. The restaurant on the first floor (Harry Sasson) was also great. I will definitely stay here again when I return to Cartagena!

Pros: All staff at the hotel were friendly and attentive - which is hard to come by in Cartagena. The rooms and hotel overall were clean and comfortable, simple but nothing less than you need for a great stay. The view from the pool, upwards to the balconies of the building which are covered in plants and flowers, is beautiful. Breakfast is delicious with plenty of options and a good size too. We wish we could have stayed longer. We will return to this hotel if we stay in Cartagena again.

Pros: The hotel staff is very nice, they were very helpful, they can assist booking day trips to the islands or anywhere else you need to take a day tour to get to. The rooms are no frills, just a bed, desk, and TV, but they are very clean. The maid cleans the floors, makes the bed, and brings fresh towels every day. The rooms each have an air conditioner, which is essential in the heat of Cartagena. It sounds strange that there isn't hot water in the shower, but it's normal in northern Colombia. It is so hot out that you wouldn't want a hot shower, and the water isn't freezing cold, more like room temperature, so don't be surprised if it's your first visit. There is a filtered water cooler on every floor, so you don't need to buy bottled water. The hotel provides a buffet breakfast every morning, fresh fruit, arepas, eggs, juice, coffee, etc., it's enough to get you going in the morning. The price is right, very reasonable rates for a conveniently located, friendly hotel. The hotel is just a couple blocks from the walled old city and also a couple blocks from the pretty areas of Getsemaní.

Pros: Nothing a very bad treatment and careless for customers then want to take advantage of reservations. I reserved for two people and when I was leaving they tried to charge me for my wife until I found my reservation and show it was made for two people. The rooms are not clean and the rooms do not have hot water until you discover how to handle the faucet in a way you need to spend time move slowly in order to get hot water.
When you ask for help in the front desk they treat you as you committed a crime when you are paying for the services the offer and do not accomplish.
