El hotel tiene buena ubicación y servicio, solamente eso. Luego al estar al lado de una plaza hay ruido toda la noche. En dos noches de alojamiento el ruido se mantenía hasta las 5AM, y el hotel no provee tapones antiruido ni nada. Además parece que el negocio del hotel no es el alojamiento, que no es barato. Sino el minibar, dónde te venden un agua a un precio ridículamente alto.

Beautiful but noisy
Beautiful hotel. Great central location. Excellent service. Very popular tourist spot outside, this lends to a very noisy atmosphere. If you have a room with a view. The views are fantastic but noisy until 3-4am. Morning is quiet. The pool has a fantastic view also!!!

Not bad but
It is a fantastic location, and the rooftop with the pool is perfect. The staff was very attentive. However, the rooms are dated for an “urban” hotel, and the towels look like they have been there since the late 70s. Also, if you have a light sleep, remember that the hotel is in the middle of Party Central.

Excellent location
Easy and quick check in, friendly staff. Excellent location to walk around the city. Room is small but good orginized and very good view to the clock tower, plaza and the sea... Next buildings have a rooftop bar and disco which has laud almost during the night. The point is if you want to stay in historical area, there is no chance to be away from these kind of noisy places. So, I could not complaint about this.

The hotel itself is ok. It’s smack in the middle of el centro feet from the clock tower. A little wear and tear, but that’s not a big deal. The room did look nicer on the pictures if I had to be honest. The comforter had a couple of yellow stains on it. The AC unit did not cool very well. I didn’t anticipate nor appreciate that they charge a fee for every visitor you have over. I have family and friends in Cartagena so this was definitely an unexpected inconvenience for me. There is no mention of this fee for guests anywhere online or in the rental agreement they have you sign at check in. I discussed it with the staff there and they agreed with me that there was no mention of the fee anywhere but refused to waive it. I’ve stayed in bocagrande before, particularly in the Estellar and the prices for both hotels are about the same only the estellar is MUCH nicer. Personally, I’ll look at other hotel options and just take taxis to el centro next time I visit my family and friends there.

The hotel itself is ok. The issue is that if you want to have a guest visit you, they charge you. This is nowhere to be found online when you are booking the hotel and it doesn’t even appear in the contract they have you sign when you arrive, surprise fees are unappreciated by me. For the cost of the hotel room and the fee for guests, you are better off staying in one of the nicer hotels in Boca Grande. I’ll never stay here again

It's a basic property - nothing fancy.. good staff, good location.. we booked a room with a view - the pictures show the room having a balcony but it doesn't have one, so a bit misleading. It was really loud at night, so if you're a light sleeper, do not book here. The shower in our room was leaking and the room was out of toiletries (also we didn't bother requesting for refills). All in all, a fairly basic no-frills property.

This hotel is located next to the main square. It is loud and was difficult to sleep. You could hear music outside until 4am, then another guest was playing music from 5am to 530am, then the fire alarm went off at 7am.
