Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel had a convenient location in the tourist area of Bocagrande, near good restaurants. The rooms were equipped with kitchen facilities and good bathrooms, though the windows only faced a small light shaft. The balcony was a nice touch, offering some outdoor space. I found the dining options included a variety of fruits, but missed a hot food selection. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor drawbacks.
The hotel is located in the heart of the vibrant Bocagrande area of Cartagena, offering a cozy stay with good amenities. Rooms are comfortable and equipped with a balcony for a nice touch, although some may find the view towards a small light shaft dissatisfying. The service is attentive and responsive, making the overall stay enjoyable. Dining options are limited but satisfactory, providing the essential nourishment. The hotel's facilities are well-maintained, offering a pleasant environment for relaxation. The value for money is reasonable, making it a decent choice for a stay in Cartagena.
I was thrilled with my stay at the hotel - it offered me a cozy room with a balcony, great kitchen facilities, and a lovely bathroom. However, the view was limited to a small light shaft. The service was exceptional, providing all the amenities I needed, including room service and airport shuttle. The location in the tourist area of Bocagrande was superb, close to the historic center and the beach. The dining experience was delightful, with a variety of fruits and peanut butter available. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay truly comfortable and convenient.
