I stayed in the Hotel Santa Catalina as a part of a group trip, and extended my trip after the group left. I felt very safe in the hotel at all times. The rooftop bar is a vibe, very relaxing during the day with good music, drinks, and food in the evening. All of the staff are very pleasant and accommodating. I would book the Hotel Santa Catalina again.

Pool was unavailable due to private party and this is the 2nd time this has occurred. The same thing happened on a previous trip. To make matters worse, our room was directly beneath the pool bar area. They began their party preparations at 5am and it was impossible to sleep due to the noise. Fortunately, they moved us to a different room the next day. I like this property but if they continue to block the pool area for weddings or other private events, they should stop advertising that the property has a pool.

We enjoyed our stay at the Santa Catalina Hotel. It was the final night on our trip to Colombia and second hotel in Cartagena. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the rooftop was a highlight! The room itself was a bit small and darker compared to other places we stayed on the trip. The location was right in the middle of the city and very close to whatever we wanted to go to.

Had a lovely stay here. The rooftop pool and bar area is really amazing. The breakfast could definitely be improved, there wasn’t much choice, but everything was decent tasting. There was a bad smell from the drains in the bathroom but the room was huge and the bathroom was very far from the bed so it didn’t bother me. Would definitely stay again! Thank you!

I love this hotel so much! It’s beautiful, so comfortable, the staff are so kind and welcoming, the food is so fresh and amazing!!! The rooftop was lovely to have to cool down after mornings walking around the walled city, which you must do if you stay here because you’re smack in the middle!!! It’s amazing, my boyfriend and I loved it so much, we booked the King Superior room and it was lovely! I was in awe each time we came back to our hotel, I’m huge on nature and architecture and this hotel has both! Mucho Gracias Hotel Santa Catalina I will be back!:)
