    Things I wish I knew before I tried it

    Staying here was a delight thanks to the friendly staff and clean, comfortable rooms. The location is a gem, nestled in lively Getsemani but on a peaceful street. I cherished the strong AC and relaxing pool after wandering the town. Just be aware about some ongoing renovations that may cause brief disturbances.

    early pool closing

    In my wife’s opinion, a later pool closing time would benefit families.

    hearty breakfast
    great location
    friendly staff
    small bathroom
    lack of water dispenser

    The breakfast was a solid start to my day, filled with hearty eggs and fresh bread that had me feeling like a local. Plus, the location was a gem—being just a stone's throw from fantastic eateries like Demente and Celele made for delightful culinary adventures!

    While my smaller room felt a bit sparse and the bathroom quite snug, the larger room certainly upped the ante with its added luxury.

    The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff made my stay unforgettable! 😊 Loved relaxing by the refreshing pool. Just a bummer about the noisy club nearby on weekends that kept me up sometimes.

    missing options

    I truly appreciated the charming colonial decor, which created a warm and inviting atmosphere. The well-maintained pathways and peaceful courtyard provided easy access for seniors, making it a comfortable retreat from the bustling energy of Cartagena.

    Could improve dining options for variety.

    perfect location for city strolls and nearby attractions

    I appreciated the vibrant atmosphere of the Getsemani neighborhood as it was just a short walk away from many landmarks like the iconic Clock Tower and the lovely Plaza Santo Domingo, making my city explorations incredibly enjoyable and convenient.

    small pool
    weekend noise

    We had an amazing time with friends! The location is perfect for snorkeling and diving nearby. The staff was super friendly and the rooms were clean and comfortable. We especially loved relaxing by the small pool. Just a heads up for future guests, there's no breakfast, but plenty of great spots to eat are close by.

    One downside was the noise from a club across the street on the weekends. It made it tough to get a good night's sleep in the front-facing rooms.

    The rooms are clean and the staff is super friendly. Too noisy on weekends from the club nearby. Location is great near many restaurants. Nice small pool and bicycle rentals available too.

    kind staff
    quiet location

    Ideal for travelers seeking tranquility

    Location is just perfect, quiet street but still near everything. The staff, especially Laini at the front desk, was kind and made my stay feel like home.

    It wasn't exactly a bargain, but still worth it for the experience.
