I would give this property 10 out of 10 stars if I could. The staff was beyond helpful, friendly and eager for us to have an amazing experience in Cartagena. They were helpful with restaurant referrals as well as a day trip to the Rosario Islands. Breakfast in the courtyard garden was sublime. I would most definitely stay there again and I will refer this property.

Encantador. Cerca de todo y a su vez alejado del ruido. Zona colonial antigua divina cerca de restaurantes buenos y no muy lejos de getsemani tampoco. (Se puede ir caminando). Varios espacios comunes amplios y hermosos, decorados con gusto y calidez, en un ambiente auténtico colombiano. Personal muy atento. Desayuno muy rico. Habitación suite amplia linda y cómoda. Recomiendo evitar las habitaciones que dan a la calle. Y atención en la elección del hotel con los espacios comunes en planta alta o baja. En el caso de Bantu cuenta con hermosos espacios comunes y pequeña pileta en planta baja y planta alta. Pero el calor en planta alta hace menos factible el disfrute de los espacios. Priorizar en la elección del hotel! Bantu es perfecto!

An extremely comfortable stay in a lovely colonial property which has very interesting features. It is well located in a beautiful street but also very quiet and relaxing. Some of the staff speak English and all of them are welcoming, helpful and friendly.

Truly one of the best stays of our lives and we have stayed in hundreds of hotels. The staff, the breakfast, the room, and the dream like quality of the colonial houses made us feel we were in Paradise! 5 Stars at least!

Great location, great staff and a little oasis in the middle of Cartagena. My only slight was that we didn’t have hot water for the shower. As they found a slightly larger room so we could fit in a cot, I was still appreciative and happy to overlook. Thanks for a lovely stay.
