Very Good

Easy access to the relatively quiet local neighborhood and the shoreline of Cartagena Bay. Check in was a breeze, the staff was very helpful. And our room had a great balcony view of the lagoon looking over at Getsemani and the Walled City. Hope to return soon...

Great service from staff & Property was very clean!
The staff was super friendly and attentive. The room with balcony offered a great view of the old city. The room is compact but functional with nice closet and shelf features.
An easy 15 minute walk across the bridge to the walled city.
This property is in the ideal location. It is an easy and safe walk to Getsemani and Centro. The location is quiet and relaxing so you can get a good nights sleep and do remote work during the day yet still close to the party when your ready to cut loose.

Nice place to stay a few days, manga is a very safe, and quite neighborhood and most everything is a walk or a short taxi ride away , btw no coffee or breakfast served.
This apartment hotel was great value for money. Impeccably clean. Lovely location. Great terrace. The only thing is the kitchen had nothing but a fridge and a sink. But its all we needed! Grocery store (Olympia in mall) just 5 mins walk.
Customer service needs to get a little better, I asked for toilet paper because wasn’t any in the room by the time we arrived, took way too long to get it, beside that the workers were nice people.

YOU GET LESS THAN WHAT YOU PAID FOR
The room was way smaller than what I paid for giving what I saw in a photos. The hotel didn't have any hot water. The cooking area was tiny with a hot plate again not what was advertised. The only thing I like about the hotel was the internet and the honest staff.

The property was nice there was no warm water. The staff never came to clean our room even when we asked twice. When we asked for towels they tried to charge us 90,000 Colombian pesos because the towels were dirty/used. I’ve never heard that from a hotel before it was ridiculous. My bf and I ended up buying our own towels because we didn’t want to deal with them.
First of all when I got to this property, it was around 4 PM and they did not have the my room also they have light that work with sensor on the hallways to save energy, but the sensor are working so the light never come on I also noticed on the room that I was staying that to mow on the ceiling.

Not given the room that I paid for. Could not receive that room because guests were occupying it and it was actually next door to the room given me which I noticed when the maid was cleaning it. Requested fresh towels at front desk. That never occurred. The shower was not hot. Below lukewarm is the best way to describe it. The area has limited dining within walking distance. The hotel is short taxi to the Centro/Getsemani area (12.000COP) 25.000COP from the airport 14.500COP to the airport. Bocagrande Beach (15.000COP)

Disliked: Staff & service
Good: Close to Getsemani and the walled city. Cleaning crew cares and helps
Bad: Front staff is unhelpful, we requested towels and toilet paper from them, but never arrive, had to ask directly from cleaning ladies. Hotel management tried to screw us by changing our room to one without a kitchen (when we paid for it), and without apologies only provided the right room a day after and did not offer a discount. Room door had literally a 1/8" gap where you can see thru and hear everyone outside or other way around. They only provided a single room key that you have to keep on a slot once in otherwise the room will sound an alarm, which we heard from every other room around us. Also heard people banging on doors as they had no spare keys. Area around the hotel can be scary from homeless people sleeping on the streets. We won't be going back.
