The room & bathroom were nice. The AC was definitely appreciated. The multiple pool areas & roof top bar was nice too. Lots of walkable dining options- fancy & not fancy restaurants. The hotel is in the middle of the activity- like the other reviews say, expect it to be loud (music every night until 2:30/3 am. I read the reviews before booking & was expecting it & not bothered. Hot water was iffy- it depended on the time of day. The hotter it was outside, the more guaranteed you were to have hot water. I took a shower at 10pm & didn't have much. We had a great stay & would definitely stay here again.

Potential to be Excellent but Poor for now!.

Hotel good but tired.We stayed in room B301 which had french doors and these could not be locked as no key. This was raised at check in and we were told we would be supplied with the key. We stayed 4 days and no key was provided so our room was not secure. Only the rooftop pool was in use the other pools being empty

Beyond Loud. All night long. I can't believe they don't give out ear plugs. The blaring horns right outside the window are insane. Impossible to sleep. They also tried to scam me out of another 10.00 by saying i lost a plastic key which i did not. It's just a shady practice.

Pousada simples, mas bm localizada.

A pousada é bem centralizada, perto de tudo. O pessoal da recepção e do café da manhã são muito prestativos. Achamos o quarto 106 muito pequeno. O banheiro é escuro, e não tem espelho para se ver de corpo inteiro. O café da manhã é simples, mas tem a possibilidade de pedir ovos e omeletes através do cardápio oferecido.

Nice hotel in a terrific area and great staff.

Nice boutique hotel. Great staff. Good complementary breakfast. Great area which can be noisy at times. For my solo travelers: you will have to pay for anyone not included in your initial booking.

I would recommend this hotel for people that don’t mind the nightlife. It is surrounded by bars and party crowd. So yes it can be loud at night but I am a heavy sleeper and was still able to rest. Nevertheless, it is walking distance to everything. I walked to the Castillo San Felipe, to the Torre; literally everywhere. The staff was very friendly and professional. Breakfast is whatever, I never truly eat at hotels so it’s personal choice. Price is great for the location.

Great & not so great

Tidy compact hotel in excellent area. Staff quite friendly. NO HOT WATER for shower & shave, perhaps they think it’s not required considering Cartagena is very hot. Breakfast was very bland. AC top notch!
