The balcony view was nice and the staff was friendly but one night I was questioned if i brought someone into my room. The rules state that you must check in all guests if they would like to enter the hotel. I clearly understood the rules yet i was still questioned at 11:30pm which is completely inappropriate and unprofessional in my opinion.

Likes. Centrally located on the edge of the amurallada with a very good view of the city from the top deck. The breakfast is a full one and not a Continental one, which was a pleasant surprise. Very friendly and helpful staff. Dislikes. Management closes the deck at 8pm. Way too early. My wife and I wanted to use the jacuzzi in the evening and see the city at night.

Disappointed

I had to go to another hotel across the street to check in and to be buzzed in. Everytime I came and left, I had to be buzzed in. I was hustled to get my room for two people. Stating I only get one person per room... I showed them my booking was 1 room two adults. I traveled solo but I didn't like the fact they wanted a payoff to get my room to what I booked.... if I wanted guess they told me I had to pay an additional 80 US dollars.

The hotel is a great place to begin a walk on top of the wall that surrounds most of the Centro Historico. It's within easy walking distance to lots of restaurants, museums and pubs. Our room overlooked a busy traffic loop and had a view of the castle (about 25 minutes away on foot). Alexey bought the Nautilus and adjoining property about 11 months ago and is working hard with David and staff to continually improve and enhance the buildings and services.

Interesting location with great view

Our corner room had a brilliant view over busy intersection, bit of old wall and some harbour, with full length glass sliding door onto little balcony and wood internal shutter and blinds to keep out heat and noise. Right on edge of old city. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Nice no-frills place in Cartagena historic center

Nice, reasonably priced place in Cartagena historic center (Barrio San Diego). Rooms overlook a very busy avenue/intersection, so it can be quite noisy at night. Fun to hang out in the square though! Good security 24/7. Breakfast provided.

NEGLIGENT management, TERRIBLE experience

Staying at this hotel was the WORST experience I've had being a Latin American traveling around Colombia: - Terrible STAFF, refused to help with Internet connection or change room when asked because of the incredibly LOUD noice of the rooms facing the front - LOCATION: while it is nearby to main points in the old city, it is located at one of the vehicles entrances to the city, which makes it INCREDIBLY LOUD and impossible to rest -Despite being less than 2 months old, appliances were not appropriately installed. This caused me an accident when attempting to close the glass wall in the shower, which made it break into pieces and caused several CUTS all over my body - The hotel did not have an emergency kit, nor BASIC INSURANCE when I requested the details the following day. What is worst, when I asked for an apology and some type of compensation for the accident, they refused to refund the money of my reservation - Rooms were tiny, all but comfortable. THIS IS NOT A 3 STAR HOTEL and I can't believe it is advertised on a site like Expedia

Budget hotel with friendly staff

It was an alright experience. The hotel is very small, on top of a restaurant and in the edge between the nice and the not-too-nice of Cartagena. It was a raining weekend and I had to stay inside most of the time. It is quite noisy and the bathroom, pretty small. Thumbs up for the aircon - super cold. It is more like a private room in a hostel. The staff are very friendly and helpful though.

A Study in Contrasts

This hotel has me completely puzzled. The male desk clerk was rude and surly when I arrived. I had read a review about that (written by someone who didn't speak Spanish) and so I thought there'd be no problem since I am fluent in the language. No way. The clerk was never polite or helpful. The room had recently been redecorated, everything working and in good order. The mattress was a typical one for my travels in Spanish-speaking countries: foam rubber on either a cement platform or on a wood platform (as in this case). However, the wifi never worked efficiently. When I told the male desk clerk about it, he said 'Well, it works here at the desk'. What an answer! The electricity went off in the entire city for an hour and the rest of that afternoon and night and into the morning I left, the wifi worked maybe 15 minutes at a time and the television did not ever work again. Wifi is essential nowadays. The noise level the first night was insane (all from the street). Second and third nights it was tolerable. The average mono-lingual English speaker would not want to stay here because of the noise. For anyone considering this hotel, especially if you don't speak Spanish, look elsewhere. Comparing it to a bare essentials hotel I stayed in in Santa Marta, the price is twice what it should be I also stayed in a restored colonial gem in Popayan for (the dollar equivalent) $25 per night less. It was a really nice hotel, what a hotel should be!
