As we live in Colombia, the location was OK for us, however, still being cautious, we had the hotel order taxis for us. It is a bit of a drive back to the Walled City & any beaches, but we found only a couple dollars more that if we had been closer. Staff was awesome. We liked have the little frig in the room, there was a microwave we could use AND there are snacks & drinks available in the lobby. We are keeping this on our future visit to Cartagena list . . . Thank you to all.

Das Personal in der Unterkunft ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit, die Zimmer für kolumbianische Verhältnisse groß und in Ordnung. Es gibt zum Duschen jedoch nur kaltes Wasser (nicht eiskalt). Lediglich die Lage des Hotels ist ein größerer Minuspunkt. Es liegt in einer Mischung aus Wohn- und Industriegebiet. Mit dem Taxi sind es 25 Minuten zur Altstadt, man bezahlt dafür jedoch nur ca. 3-4,50 Euro. Zum Bis sind es ca. 5 Minuten, man muss eine breite Straße passieren. Die Fahrt kostet aber ca. 0,80 Euro.
