The service at this hotel was excellent, and the location is perfect—just a short walk from great restaurants and local attractions. The only downside was that the elevator got stuck once, and despite pressing the emergency call button, there was no immediate response. We had to wait a few minutes before staff came to assist. However, this minor issue didn’t take away from the overall great experience. The staff were friendly, the room was clean and comfortable, and the value for money was outstanding. I’d definitely stay here again.

Everything was perfect! The location is incredibly convenient—just a short metro ride away, with plenty of authentic local eateries nearby. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the room was spotless and comfortable. Excellent value for money. I’d definitely stay here again!

Staying at Hotel Atlantic Lux was an absolute delight! The service was outstanding, especially Luis, the bellman—he was incredibly kind and welcoming, always with a smile and ready to help with luggage. His warm personality made a big difference in making our stay feel personal and comfortable. The hotel’s location is perfect—close to restaurants, shops, and key attractions, with easy access to public transit. Everything about this place felt thoughtfully designed, from the ambiance to the attention to detail. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Cartagena who wants a memorable, high-quality experience.

The building is perfectly located—just steps from the beach, with shops and restaurants nearby. Security is excellent, with a guard on duty 24/7 at the entrance. But that’s where the positives end. The apartment we stayed in was outdated and didn’t match the photos advertised online. It felt poorly cleaned—some areas even looked dirty. Furniture was wobbly or broken, and the kitchen supplies were shockingly minimal: only six glasses for an eight-person unit, barely any cutlery, no toilet paper, no dishcloth, no drying towel, and no coffee maker. Two out of three showers provided only cold water throughout the entire week—very uncomfortable. To top it off, no luggage storage was offered at reception, and the host didn’t suggest any alternative solutions when we arrived with all our bags, our return flight not until late afternoon. We ended up waiting in the lobby, stressed and carrying everything ourselves. Worst of all, we were given just one key for the whole group of eight people, with no explanation other than being told to call each other if needed. After paying 870 euros for the week, the value-for-money ratio is seriously disappointing. This experience falls far short of what you’d expect. There are definitely better options available elsewhere.

Everything was perfect! The staff went above and beyond with their warm and attentive service—always smiling, ready to help, and making us feel truly welcome. Our room was spacious, clean, and incredibly comfortable, with a cozy bed that made for a restful night's sleep. Located just steps away from the vibrant city center, it’s easy to explore Cartagena’s historic sites, beaches, and local restaurants. The all-inclusive package offered great value, with delicious meals and drinks included. Whether you're here for relaxation or adventure, this hotel delivers on every level. Highly recommend for an unforgettable getaway!

Staying at Hotel Barahona Cartagena was an absolute delight from start to finish. The location in Bocagrande is unbeatable—walkable to beaches, restaurants, and local shops, with easy access to public transit. The architecture seamlessly blends modern design with nature, featuring large windows that flood the rooms with natural light and offer serene views of lush greenery. It instantly creates a peaceful, calming atmosphere perfect for unwinding after a busy day. The room itself was clean, spacious, and well-appointed, offering excellent value for money. But what truly stood out wasn’t just the comfort or the setting—it was the genuine warmth and hospitality of the staff. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, always with a smile and ready to help. This isn’t just a hotel; it’s a place where you genuinely feel at home. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cartagena looking for a quiet retreat with charm, comfort, and heartfelt service.

We've now been staying here for our fourth week, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. The location is in a quiet, safe neighborhood, just a 15-minute walk from grocery stores, restaurants, and essential services—perfect for daily convenience. The apartment itself is comfortable, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed. Daily housekeeping is done with care and professionalism, and Solène, the cleaning staff, is incredibly responsive and genuinely dedicated to meeting our needs. We love being able to cook on-site—the kitchen is fully equipped with everything we need. The bedding and towels smell fresh, and hot water is available 24/7—no compromises there. With three air conditioners that run quietly and effectively, plus excellent sound insulation, the space stays cool and peaceful even during warmer hours. Front desk staff are efficient, friendly, and always willing to help. The laundry service is a nice touch, and the welcome team goes above and beyond to make guests feel at home. Breakfast is modest in size and variety, but it’s always fresh, and the chef is happy to accommodate special requests. Supplies are consistently replenished—never ran out of anything. Overall, this place offers great value, comfort, and hospitality. Highly recommend for travelers looking for a reliable, welcoming home base in Cartagena.

I wouldn't recommend this property. While the location in Cartagena is convenient—close to downtown and easy to get around by public transit—the actual condition of the apartment was far from what we expected. The unit felt dirty and poorly maintained, with visible dust and grime in corners and crevices. To our horror, there were cockroaches everywhere—under the sink, in the kitchen, even near the bed. The appliances shown in the photos didn’t work at all: the air conditioner was broken, the stove wouldn’t ignite, and the fridge barely cooled. It’s clear the listing photos are misleading. We ended up spending more time fixing issues than enjoying our stay. For a better experience, I’d suggest looking elsewhere—there are definitely much cleaner, more reliable options in the area.

I stayed at Coral Reef Hotel in Cartagena and found the location to be very convenient—just a short walk from the city center and easily accessible by public transit. While the hotel’s furnishings and facilities clearly need some maintenance, the main issue for me was the water temperature: it only came out lukewarm, which was problematic since I chose this room specifically because of the bathtub and was traveling with a baby. Unfortunately, the water never got properly hot, making bath time quite stressful. That said, the front desk staff were incredibly friendly—almost like the owner himself—and added a warm, personal touch to the stay. The beds, pillows, and air conditioning units were noticeably worn and could use some upgrading. Still, despite these drawbacks, the overall value was strong, especially for families traveling with young children. If you can overlook minor upkeep issues, this place offers a genuine, welcoming experience in a great location.

The apartment offers a stunning view that truly lives up to the hype—wide-open vistas of the ocean and sky make every moment feel like a getaway. The pool and jacuzzi are well-maintained, clean, and perfect for relaxing after a day exploring the city. Its location is unbeatable: just steps from the beach and directly across from a variety of restaurants and shops, making dining and shopping incredibly convenient. While the kitchen appliances are a bit dated—especially the refrigerator, which doesn’t cool as efficiently as it could—the overall experience still feels excellent. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, always going the extra mile. The air conditioning works flawlessly and runs quietly, adding to the comfort. I’d definitely stay here again without hesitation.

Staying at Hotel Oceania Cartagena was an absolute delight from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond with their warm, genuine hospitality—feeling welcomed like family from the moment we arrived. The hotel itself is impeccably clean and well-maintained, with modern amenities that make your stay incredibly comfortable. Dining options were excellent, with a diverse menu offering delicious local flavors and fresh ingredients. Located right in the heart of Old Town, everything you’d want is within walking distance—historic sites, charming cafes, vibrant markets, and beautiful colonial architecture. Public transport access is also convenient, making it easy to explore the city. This place truly delivers on every front: comfort, location, service, and value. If you're visiting Cartagena, this hotel should be at the top of your list—it’s not just a place to stay, it’s an experience you’ll remember.

The location is excellent—super convenient for getting around, and the apartment was spotless and well-maintained. We loved the quiet, comfortable vibe and appreciated the friendly staff throughout our stay. It’s a great value for the price, and we’d definitely book again if we’re ever back in Cartagena.
