This hotel is super clean. The staff is super friendly. It was my friend’s birthday and the staff went up the room with a cake and sang Happy birthday. That was a very nice surprise! The hotel is close to everything. The pool area is well kept and is a vibe. Is great after walking around in the Cartagena heat. I would recommend this hotel to friends and family. 10/10

Would definitely stay here again!! Very safe and very convenient. The customer service was 10/10. The front desk was always there to open the door for you even at 4am when you’re coming from a night out. They don’t let outside visitors go up to your room which made me and my friend feel very safe.

It is at a very good location. We walked everywhere. We did not need to use a uber or taxi. I would recommend to stay here.
