Room was clean with excellent staff service. Amenities were cozy and comfortable. The location was unbeatable. If coming back to Cartagena definitely staying here again!!!
The hotel is absolutely beautiful. The pictures don't do it justice. The room was clean room and housekeeping was done twice a day. The front desk staff were kind and helped in every way they could.
The property is well located, easy to walk everywhere. Leonardo and Jesus at Reception were extremely welcoming and helpful during our stay. They were great with my 7 year son. Greeting him by name and always smiling.
The rooftop pool is an oasis with breathtaking views — an incredible, relaxing space.
Breakfast was something we looked forward to everyday. Excellent choices on the buffet, delicious coffee and made to order eggs and waffles. Kelly at the restaurant was super attentive.
Security and the bell hop team always greeted us when came and went. The little details of the housekeeping staff were appreciated (turn down service at night!)
Thank you for a wonderful stay.
I got mixed feelings about given it a 4 star review but the menu is not simple. The staff is super friendly. The pool view to the city is amazing. The service is great. ,
Hotel is clean and beautiful. The staff is friendly and very helpful. Everything is within walking distance of the hotel.

The property was under going renovations.But we enjoyed our stay. The hotel is still nice, the included breakfast was outstanding, and the location is great. We will be back.
I have stayed many times over the years in the Cartagena area. This hotel is my fav in the old town for two main reasons. On this trip four nights. The rooftop is the best in the old town. Spacious with sweeping views of the old town, the wall and the ocean, and Bocagrande. The rooftop pool is nice with plenty of seating — unlike most of the other hotels in the old town. The restaurant is Harry Sassoon, which is the Cartagena branch of one of the most famous restaurants in Bogota. The food is excellent. The service is generally good. I’ll definitely be back.
