Pros: I liked the idea that breakfast was made specifically to your liking when it was eggs. Ana and Carolina were very lovely people. I am glad I met them both and I hope they will remember me. I would ...
Cons: I wish that there were places that had more juice options. I am not a healthy person nor do I try to be but taste is important and if it tastes good I will love it. I do not eat fruits so all the ...
Pros: The location is great. Breakfast was ok.
Cons: The rooms are basic and loud. For me it was too expensive for what I got. Would never give 8 points for that accomodation like in Booking.com. But sadly Cartagena in general is expensive.
Cons: Staff prepafring breakfast was noisy from 6am. I asked for taxi to the airport - staff offered 15,000. On the street I went with first driver for 10,000. Staff shouldn't cheat the cients.
Pros: The staff was AMAZING! But they only really speak Spanish. Breakfast every day was great, and they were nice enough to accommodate guests and serve past the cut off time. The location is also greay. ...
Cons: No hot water, but it's so hot in the city that you take showers to stay cool. The previous tenets smoked in the room even though it's not allowed. The a/c stopped working after a few days ...
Pros: The room had great (and much needed!) air con, a lockable safe and fridge. The breakfast area and kitchen was allowed to be used as a communal kitchen, which meant we could make drinks and lunch using...
Cons: The fan was broken in our bathroom and we couldn't turn off the balcony light. In the second bedroom the water pressure in the shower was so low that at times it was barely more than a dribble. It...
Pros: The staff were very friendly, and the whole place had a pleasant ambience which was helped by the decorative cushions across the beds, and the plants in the kitchen. The breakfasts were okay. he A/...
Cons: Balconies of Venice? 'Soft, what infernal racket from yonder window breaks,' as Shakespeare might have written. This was one of the noisiest places we have every stayed. Our room was worse ...
Pros: Everything in the walking distance, very helpfull staff, nice breakfest
Cons: We arrived at 2am and we need to wait on the street about 30 min for someone from the reception (24h reception), we had booked superior room with balcon and we received room with window to the kitchen...
Pros: The hotel is in a great location- right in the heart of candelaria. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was amazing! We were cooked food just for us and we had fresh fruit and fresh juice made ...
Cons: The lady kept asking us if we were cancelling as a joke- not sure I got her humour! But it didn't matter. The air con never got quite as cool as I would have liked but no worries as it was fine. ...
Pros: We were there in December, so the balcony was all Xmas-lit up and -with or without lights- it puts you in the middle of the action on the street. All bars and retaurants you need are within 2 blocks ...
Pros: Lady on front desk was very nice. Airconditioning in room was a life saver. Cold water in shower but really refreshing after heat. Laundry was also done for us. Good location.
Cons: Touts out the front trying to sell us (and many other foreigners drugs) but they are fairly harmless at the end of the day, it's just the area.
Pros: The price was good and the staff pretty friendly and willing to help and go the extra mile.
Cons: I did not agree with the management in that they controlled the a/c use for the room. I also did not like that they tried to charge me for days I did not use the room. They initially were not helpful whatsoever w/my decision to relocate.
