We were given a windowless room next to the staff room and the entrance, therefore hearing loud conversations and ongoing movement all day long. My recommendation is that you assign that room only when the rest of the hotel is full.

A hospedagem deixou a viagem melhor.

Ótimo estrutura. Quarto amplo e confortável. Não tem ducha quente, mas o banho é ótimo porque a cidade é muito quente. A localização é fantástica, conseguimos ir andando nos principais pontos turísticos e pontos de encontro de passeios, sem contar que fica na rua próxima que tem o movimento com várias opções de bares e restaurantes, mas que não atrapalham o sossego. Toda a equipe é muito atenta, educanda e de prontidão.

Excelente opcion para descansar

La relacion calidad-precio es muy buena, el hotel esta bien ubicado, entre el barrio Getsemani y la ciudad amurallada. Por el precio obtienes un muy buen producto, y buena atencion. Es para pasar la noche, ya que las instalaciones son basicas, pero quien quiere estar dentro del hotel, si Cartagena es tan bella?

Barato, bien ubicado, no en muy buen estado

El hotel es muy económico y esa es su mayor ventaja. También está bien ubicado en el barrio Getsemaní. No es un hotel bonito, la gente que lo atiende no es la mejor y la verdad es que no parece muy seguro. El estado de las paredes y los baños no es el mejor. Sin embargo, la cama es cómoda y tiene aire acondicionado. Se paga por lo que se obtiene, es un hotel aceptable.

Great AC and the price was right!

The price of our stay was incredible, 3 nights for $89USD. Extremely clean all the time, from the front door to the room everything was spotless. Air con AND a ceiling fan. There isn't hot water but honestly it wasn't as bad as we expected. The water is Luke warm and once you get all wet you're fine temperature wise. There weren't comforters on the beds, only sheets. The pillows were great and overall it was a super nice experience. Close to the action and close to the walled city. Within walking distance to all of the major sites and an easy ride from the airport. I can definitely recommend it.
