Staying at Casa Roman was an absolute highlight of my trip to Cartagena! The location is perfect—just a short walk from the historic district and all the main attractions, yet quiet enough to enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep. The hotel itself has such a charming, authentic vibe with beautiful details in every corner—like stepping into a romantic European storybook. The staff were incredibly warm and helpful, even offering a small welcome gift upon check-in. My room was spotless, cozy, and had a comfortable bed that made falling asleep easy—and waking up refreshed.

Staying at Casa del Puerto Hostel & Suites in Cartagena was a pleasant surprise, especially considering the variety of hostels available in different neighborhoods like El Centro or Getsemani. Located near Manga, this place offers a unique charm with solid facilities—especially the pool area, where comfy loungers and a relaxed vibe make it perfect for unwinding. My room wasn’t quite what I expected, but it was clean and private, with an internal bathroom. One downside: no towels provided—just a heads-up if you’re planning to stay. The hostel is connected to other hostels offering group chats and activities, though I didn’t experience any during my visit—maybe timing or season affects that. The poolside bar was a highlight: great drink prices, laid-back music, inflatable mats, and decent food options, although it closes earlier than expected. Breakfast was included and surprisingly good—fresh fruit, juice, coffee, and delicious pancakes that stood out. Right around the corner is Verona Pizza, absolutely fantastic, just a short walk from Getsemani. Plus, there are supermarkets nearby, making daily needs super convenient. While it didn’t blow me away completely, the overall experience was solid, friendly staff, good location, and excellent value. Definitely recommendable for travelers looking for a relaxed yet central base.

This is hands down the best hostel I've stayed at in years! Located just a short walk from the historic center of Cartagena, it's incredibly convenient for exploring the city. The atmosphere is vibrant yet relaxed, with a great mix of travelers from all over the world. The dorms are clean, well-ventilated, and surprisingly quiet despite being busy. Common areas are thoughtfully designed—there’s a cozy lounge, a peaceful garden nook, and even a small library perfect for unwinding or reading. The staff are super friendly, helpful, and always willing to give local tips. I loved the free breakfast and evening social events—it made meeting new people so easy. For the price, the quality and experience here are unmatched. If you're visiting Cartagena and want a memorable, authentic stay, this place is a must. I’ll definitely be back!

La Terraza de Estella is an absolute gem. From the moment you step in, everything feels clean and well-maintained—every room, bathroom, and shared space is spotless. Located just outside the historic center, it offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling city without feeling isolated. The quiet neighborhood vibe is perfect for unwinding, with lush greenery everywhere, stunning views from every floor, and a relaxing hot tub on the rooftop terrace. It’s refreshing, serene, and full of natural charm. The family of Estela are incredibly warm and welcoming—they treat guests like family, making your stay feel personal and genuine. There are plenty of thoughtful amenities: free Wi-Fi on each floor, a spacious and fully equipped kitchen for self-catering, plus the option to order breakfast, fresh juice, or a cold beer. While it's not in the main tourist zone, being right next to a lively local park gives you a real sense of community life—perfect for soaking up authentic Colombian energy. Nearby attractions are easy to reach, and public transport options make getting around simple. I came for one night… and never left. 100% recommend this hidden treasure!

The Neos Hotel Cartagena is an excellent choice for a comfortable stay! While it's a bit outside the main tourist areas, getting around is super easy with Uber or taxis—just a few minutes away from the city center. The hotel itself is peaceful and well-maintained, with clean, spacious rooms and friendly staff who go the extra mile. I was really impressed by the overall vibe and value for money. If you're looking for a quiet yet convenient base in Cartagena, this is definitely a top pick. I’d happily stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting.

The location is extremely isolated—there's absolutely nothing around, not even a convenience store or restaurant within walking distance. Public transportation options are practically nonexistent, making it very inconvenient to get around. While the property itself is clean and well-maintained, the lack of nearby amenities and accessibility really drags down the overall experience. For the price and rating, this isn't a good value. I wouldn't recommend staying here unless you have no other choice.

My 5-star rating goes to Ms. Alcira, the front desk staff—thank you so much for your genuine kindness and warm hospitality! Your attention to detail and willingness to help without expecting anything in return made a huge difference. It's clear the hotel owner is truly lucky to have someone like you on their team. While the hotel itself is great, it’s your exceptional service that truly stands out and made our stay unforgettable. I’ll definitely be back just to experience your wonderful attitude again!

The Hotel Buenos Aires in Cartagena is absolutely fantastic! Located just a short walk from the heart of the city, it’s incredibly convenient for exploring the colonial area and nearby beaches. The room was spotless, with a comfortable bed that made for a restful night’s sleep—plus the air conditioning worked perfectly, which was a lifesaver during the hot days. The staff were genuinely welcoming and helpful, even offering a small welcome gift upon check-in. It’s rare to find such great value with this level of service and comfort. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Cartagena—it truly stands out.

Our stay at Hotel Sol Del Este in Cartagena didn’t meet expectations. The air conditioning in the room was ineffective—even on maximum setting, it never felt cool enough, making it uncomfortable, especially during the hot evenings. We had to ask twice for towels, and despite being a couple, only one towel was initially provided. The bed was very uncomfortable—too firm and lacking proper support, which disrupted our sleep quality. To make things worse, there was only one electrical outlet in the entire room, which made charging devices a real challenge, particularly with multiple gadgets. While the staff were polite, the service responsiveness could be improved. Overall, the room didn’t deliver value for money, and we’d recommend looking elsewhere if comfort and convenience are priorities.

Staying at Holiday Inn Express Cartagena Manga was an excellent choice for my trip to Cartagena. The hotel is conveniently located near the cargo port, making it easy to access if you're traveling for business or just exploring the area. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, with spotless cleanliness throughout the property. My room was spacious, comfortable, and perfectly set up for a relaxing stay. The breakfast was fantastic—varied, fresh, and delicious, with both local flavors and international options. Staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive, going above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. From check-in to check-out, the service was outstanding. This place truly delivers great value for money and deserves every bit of its high rating. I’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend it to fellow travelers.

I made the reservation and paid in advance, but upon arrival I couldn’t find the hostel at all—no one nearby knew where it was. There’s no phone number listed for contact, and messages went unanswered for hours. I ended up stuck with no way to check in, which was extremely frustrating. The whole experience felt unreliable and misleading. I can’t recommend this place at all—it definitely raised red flags about being a scam. Very disappointing, especially after paying upfront. Definitely not worth it.
