9/10 Wonderful! (1,257 reviews)
It was a fantastic hotel and nearly 5 stars. Great desk staff, concierge, restaurant & cleaners. The pool staff need a little training to get up to a Hilton standard though: fine but you had to chase after them for food & drink.

Las habitaciones son bonitas, sin embargo pueden mejorar la limpieza. Habían ciertas partes con polvo y el baño no olía muy bien. La actitud de una de las chicas del restaurant no fue agradable en más de una ocasión.

Nice place to visit when the Corona virus issues passes - renting a car was the best solution to move around and go places.

The Walled City is beautiful, but it's also busy and expensive. Be mindful that you'll be harassed all the time.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Walled City has historic charm for sure. El Centro noisy and very touristy. Liked walking in nearby San Diego and Getsamani neighborhoods.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Great weather, amazing people, horrible traffic, and amazing views! Cartagena is a lovely city and the architecture transports you to a different era. You can find anything from relaxing places to fun night life. Lots of tours available

5/5 - Excellent

It was my second time and my wife's first time to visit. Love the city, love the people. Old town was a great place to visit and we felt completely safe walking around even at night.

5/5 - Excellent

Super affordable, easily accessible, the area is a giant circle so it's hard to get lost, but people are very helpful and kind.
