"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...

Mood Matuna Hotel Cartagena

"The breakfast is very very light Bad service and a very very small buffet. No espresso. We are in Colombia !!! Come on !coffee is important . Espresso machines are cheap now ! I want to pay for my good coffee but please buy a machine."

Terrazas Hotel Boutique

10/10 Excellent

"Location, staff and cleanliness are excellent.👍 As far as breakfast goes, you can definitely do a better job. Not much selection. Columbian coffee is always good and available, but maybe some eggs and some more fruit selection would have been nice. Other than that, I highly recommend"
