The rooms are incredibly small, make sure you pick the right one before booking because you might not get one with a window, they are clean and the staff is helpful

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
This is the best location in the walled city by far. The only problem is high volume of street noise throughout your stay, depending upon your room choice.
I love the location and easy access to things to do in the vicinity. Breakfast needs to be improved due to the inconvenience of a remote restaurant affiliated to the hotel.
Close to everything. This includes Restaurants, Clubs, Supermarket the Malls also to access the boats for an island tour you can't go wrong staying at Ethnic thematic.😊
The room is a boutique room. Definitely a space for 1 or a couple that is down to earth and travelling on a budget. I stayed here for a night and had no issues with safety within the property. Staff were helpful even with their limited knowledge of English.
Centrally located, above all the "action". Great restaurants across the street. Guest friendly. Staff are responsive and very helpful. The rooms are basic; beds are comfortable; But expect lots of noise at night. The included breakfast is at a nearby restaurant.
The location was in the heart of the Walled City which made it super convenient to everything, however it also made it a bit loud at night while trying to sleep (def need ear plugs). The hotel room was spacious, the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was clean with hot water. Check In/Out was very easy and the host communicated very well through WhatsApp. There’s also free breakfast right around the corner which we really enjoyed.
Great location and most importantly wonderful service! Andrea checked in with me every day, she went above and beyond which made my stay in Cartagena so much better.
Thank you
This is my second time staying at this establishment and I can honestly say the staff is well attentive to guests needs even during new ownership and renovations. They keep the hotel clean and safe and are always available to answer any questions you may have. Alfonso and Andrea are the perfect duo with an amazing team supporting them. Big improvement over the previous management.
