It was ok. The beds are supper sturdy and hard. The bathroom area, specifically the curtains were full of mold. It smelled like old and moldy house. Under the beds was full of dust. The water was cold.

Only complaint I got is that the first room they gave me smelt like mold and the pillow cases and towels seem very old and stained. They should really invest in buying new ones. Other than that everything was good. I would consider staying there again.

Too loud

Maybe if i where in a different room it would have been better i was on the bottom right next to the reception desk. I could hear everything outside my room and they where doing repairs all day so i could hear it all. And there where crickets and huge water bugs in the room. The bed came with only a sheet and no blanket

Not a great hotel

Day 1: Arrived early for check in and was told an additional charge would need to be made as a result so had to walk around for 4 hours. Check-in: Had to switch rooms 3 times (first room was right next to car park when I asked for a quiet room, second room had no hot water). WiFi was poor and dropped out frequently. In third room there was barely any water to shower with (still no hot water) so checked out early and went to airbnb

Café da manhã havia pouca variedade. Os pães quase todos os dias estavam duros e as frutas eram as mesmas todos os dias. A equipe era muito atenciosa e prestativa. Agora a limpeza foi a pior parte: o banheiro tinha um cheiro horrível que deixava o quarto com cheiro forte, acredito que esgoto ou algo assim e não havia pano no chão. O quarto estava cheio de traças, Paredes sujas, havia mofo no abajur e o quarto ficava com cheiro de mofo. As paredes acredito que eram finas ou não havia vedação adequada, mas dentro do quarto era possível ouvir gritaria de outros hóspedes e staffs conversando/celular. Era muito barulhento pela manhã.

Hotel Casa Franco. Carrera 5 #6-75Boca Boca Grande-Cartagena de India-Colombia. Expreso mi sincero agradecimiento por la excepcional hospitalidad y servicio de su hotel durante mi reciente estadía. La atención al detalle y el compromiso con la satisfacción del cliente realmente hicieron que mi experiencia fuera memorable. Desde el momento en que llegué, el personal de Casa franco, garantizó un ambiente cálido y acogedor. Las cómodas habitaciones, las deliciosas opciones gastronómicas y el impecable servicio de limpieza superaron mis expectativas. Me impresionó especialmente la fluidez con la que todo estuvo organizado y el comportamiento amistoso de los miembros de su equipo. Una vez más, gracias por brindarnos una estadía tan placentera. Recomendaré su hotel a amigos y colegas y espero tener la oportunidad de regresar en el futuro Un afectuoso saludo. Soledad de Elorriaga.
