Cartagena Inns

Pros: Breakfast was good though I would've liked more Colombian options. I love the scent used in the room it was exceptional and the staff was very welcoming and friendly no matter the time of day.

Cons: There was nothing I disliked. All was perfect.

Pros: Localization is very good. Staff is very friendly

Cons: Breakfast is very very poor and repetitive. For the money we pay for the stay it should be better.

Pros: Ideally and centrally located, authentic colonial house with individual rooms. Very friendly and helpful staff and manager willing to assist. We also liked the roof terrace with pool, the breakfast there and the view over Cartagena. We would definitely come back to La Passion.

Pros: The staff was very helpful in setting up an amazing day exploring islands by providing transportation and the crew/boat. Breakfast was always solid and provided a good selection of foods. The hotel is stunning and the rooms rustic but comfortable. They were always smelling fresh and provided clean towels everyday. The pool on the rooftop is a life savior against the heat of the city and it provides great lounging areas and abundant amount of pool towels. The location is perfect - right in the heart of the historic part of the city. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone coming to Cartagena.

Cons: Once in a while the electricity would go down temporarily but that is just common in Cartagena and it has nothing to do with the hotel. Also there tends to be some mosquitos in certain parts of the lobby so wear bug spray if you wish to lounge about or smoke.

Pros: Great location- beautiful boutique style hotel. The staff is so accommodating and everyone is extremely nice!!

Pros: Great reinvented colonial building in Cartagena old town. Amazing styling and architecture with a roof top pool to die for. Small, boutique, hotel with a lot of character and history. Staff were very accommodating and the rooms were huge with high ceilings with modern comfort added in. Would stay here again in a second. You can sit in the courtyard and common areas and feel the elegance! Great place.

Pros: Location, staff, service and food were Excellent!!!

Pros: We stayed only one night. Unfortunately. This colonial house is no beautiful. Curated details. Comfortable bed. Nice pool. Good breakfast (included in the price).

Cons: The only little thing is the noise from the street. It start early in the morning (around 8am). But I know that every single hotel in the old town or in Getsemani has the same problem.

Pros: Great location in centre of old town. Friendly and helpful staff. Room was cleaned spotlessly each day. Great breakfast, served with a smile on the roof top terrace. The pool has great views of the cathedral. The rooms are air conditioned, but public areas are not. There is Wi-Fi and cable TV but that’s all the modern gadgets, so if you want a hotel that is crisply modern then this is not for you. However, if you want to experience the feeling of stay in an authentic old-style house then you could not pick a better place.

Cons: Wi-Fi is public not secure network

Pros: The staff is great and will help you with whatever you need.

Cons: No visitors after 10pm allowed

Pros: Very beautiful hotel, decorated with great taste and ideally located! What more could we ask for? Amazing staff members, cheerful and super helpful at any hour - huge thanks to Andres who made up for my poor Spanish with his perfect English and arranged many things for us

Pros: Location

Cons: Only 3 showers!

Pros: Location, attention, free coffee and fruit, beds, installation...

Cons: ...

Pros: Friendly staff, good location, well-run. Back room was beautiful but smelled of... something, strongly. Also no place to put anything: no dresser, no drawers, no suitcase stand, and scarcely any shelves (after you move the art). But again, beautiful.

Cons: See above.

Pros: I had a great time in Be Lounge Hostel. As I broke my leg some months back, I was a bit worried at the beginning of my trip. But it was easy due to the manager Andre and he his staff. I got all help I needed without even asking for. If you want to be right in the middle of the old part of town - this is the place to stay.

Pros: Great place. Beautifull and peacefull place. The staff is amazing.

Pros: We loved it all. Camilo and Andres were extremely welcoming. It was comfortable, clean and beautiful. Even the breakfast was a great experience ;)

Pros: good location, right in the historic center. Andres is welcoming and nice, even switch on the AC immediately after we enter the dorm room. quiet and can rest really well.

Pros: The property has the best location you can find. The personal is super nice and very helpful. Special mention to the person that helped me find my book and made calls for me.

Cons: It’s a new hostel, they are still some work in progress. The disappointing part is definitely the showers.

Pros: Clean spacious rooms, amazing location and decent breakfast.

Cons: Absolutely zero social atmosphere, so if you’re a solo traveller or wanting to make friends I wouldn’t stay here.

Pros: Friendly staff even though English was minimal and we had minimal Spanish. Decent air con and small apartment style set up- we shared a kitchen, lounge and bathroom facilities with only one other room. Great location for the price paid, every other private room in this area is atleast double the price. Decent breakfast and nice roof terrace

Cons: Wifi didn’t work on our floor for one of the days/night

Pros: Good location. Out room was pretty quiet

Cons: No hot water, breakfast was served vs. Serve yourself, and it took too long to be served. Coffee cups were only half full.

Pros: Loved the location!!!! Less than a five minute walk to the clock tower. Right across from a grocery store. Right near the bus stop too. Staff was friendly and went above and beyond. Breakfast was a nice simple breakfast (fruit, eggs, pastries, coffee, juice). Wifi! Had our own kitchen area too.

Cons: Couldn’t say one bad thing about this place

Pros: Big bed and room with air conditioning. Good spot in the city center with a nice terrace view over the old town. Nice personnel who arranged a cab for us. No problem to store luggage.

Cons: Cold shower with defect shower head.

Pros: Location was excellent

Cons: If your bedroom faces the street you will hear everything single noise and not be able to sleep. They don't seem to have a jacuzzi like advertised, I asked a few times and was told it would be set up, it never was. I don't know if it was just the apartment I was in but the keys were either missing or broken all the time. The first room (the one facing the street ) had no key and then when I switched to the interior room due to the noise, the key broke in the door. I was told to leave it unlocked since no one else was staying on the apartment but the cleaning lady kept locking it while I was gone so I'd waste a lot of time asking staff to break me into my room. The key to the main door of the apartment also stuck. No hot water!

Pros: The breakfast on the roof was very nice. The room was quite. The staff was very helpfull and friendy.

Cons: There was no hot water, cables were coming out of the shower-head and getting wet, so we didn't know if we would get electified at some point! There was no light coming inside the room because there was no window facing outside, it was extremely hot and the air-condition was facing the bed, so we couldn't sleep with having it on. The kitchen sink was dirty. The fridge was very loud. It didn't worth the money.

Pros: The owner is very kind and helpfull. The location of the hotel was perfect to explore the old town!

Cons: Nothing to complain

Pros: Friendly staff, especially Jarvis. Nice location, a/c worked well. Good sized room with two windows. Large grocery store across the street was handy. This is an affordable option for a pvt room without a hostel vibe.

Cons: Sheets were only changed once in 10 days. No hot water. Shower drain was partially clogged and water backed up. I asked to have it unclogged, but it never was. Only breakfast option was fruit and eggs and I'm allergic to eggs. A yogurt or cereal option would have been appreciated.

Pros: Perfect location, good terrace and great staff

Pros: Loved the corner balcony with the view. Great location, close to supermarket and restaurants. Plenty of carts with great food park outside on the street.

Cons: Broken door going into the bathroom. Cold shower.

Pros: Air con and modern TV with cable Good breakfast They serve cheap food and drinks They arranged our el totumo and playa blanca tours and minibus transfer to santa marta all for a good price There is one staff who can speak English and is very friendly and helpful Only 10-15mins walk from old city and located near the centre of Getsemani

Cons: Our room seemed to be built badly. Our 'window' was part of a door attached to the wall outside our room. This meant that there was a gap between the room and outside which was the chill out area meaning the room was not very soundproof at all and it felt like you were outside. It also meant some mozzies could also enter our room freely. As the room had no curtain everyone could see in. We covered it with a towel we were given. The room was also a bit small for two people so should be advertised as small. Good for the price

Pros: Friendly staff Nice Location Quiet place

Pros: Close to the city, comfortable bed, helpful stuff

Pros: The price was ok, it included breakfast.

Cons: That the room doesnt have AC, and it was to difficult to sleep

Pros: Friendly staff, good location. There was a problem with my reservation, but they resolved it with no further costs.

Cons: My bed had no plug close to it and the room has two bathroom attached with no windows. So the smell and damp air from showering end up in the room.

Pros: The view from the balcony in the double bedroom. Great value for money. Bed was comfortable. Staff were helpful. Location was great.

Cons: The balcony lights are automatic and cast a lot of light into the room at night. Also, quite bright once the sun was up. Darker curtains would help.

Pros: Very friendly staff, great location, airco in the room is very very welcome in hot and humid Cartagena.

Cons: Room was a bit small, breakfast is a bit limited in terms of choice, kitchen amenities a bit sparse

Pros: The kitchen keeps very clean, same the toilets. It feels very safe the hostel. There are loockers in the dormitory and every bed got a plug, a bit loose some of them but still...

Cons: I stay in a dormitory of 14; and the girls started to make the beds at 8.00am, so there was a lot of noise and movement (my bed was the bottom one of 3). It was impossible to sleep. There is a lot of noise from the street too. The location is good for people that get up early and go to sleep early too. Otherwise the street gets very lonely at night and noises from the street starts very early in the morning too. No where to hang your clothes and put your soap in the toilets. Toilets are very small

Pros: Nice terrace, computers and kitchen to use, they have/offer everything a traveller needs (laundry, information to trips, ...)

Cons: Not all the beds have plugs, everything extra has an extra cost, ... Room ok, but nothing beautiful... Hard and a bit dangerous to climb up the upper bunkbed (the third one, there are three on top of each other)

Pros: Great Staff friendliness

Cons: Beware of the mosquitoes if you are on the top floor.

Pros: Price

Cons: Rude staff - argued with me saying I didn’t have a booking but then he checked his phone and found my booking! Even if I didn’t have one why would you argue with a potential guest when he had plenty of beds free?!

Pros: I was taught how to make coffee in a coffee distiller.

Cons: More cooking pans needed.

Pros: - nice mood of the people in the hostel - airport or city centre is nearby around 1h walking - Laundry service

Cons: When we (3 Traveller) were sleeping in the four bed room, we had the problem with bed bugs in our beds. After the cleanness of the staff next day I still could see some of these death bed bugs at my bed. The hostel wanted that we had to sleep one more time in the same bed room, but we didn't wanted one more night in the same beds and left the hostel immediately.

Pros: I like the hostel being colorful and with hostel guests notes written on the wall! A/C at night!

Cons: Only 2 showers and 2 toilets (outdoors, so not a lot of privacy) + no window in the dormitory + staff: guy who welcomed me was nice and had infos, owner of the hostel seems angry tho (has been rude from time to time, unfortunately ruined an otherwise cosy vibe)

Pros: Room was clean. It’s behind a locked door which you felt quite safe. Kitchen is good.

Cons: Very dodgy area. We got scammed the first day already. Didn’t feel safe in the evening outside! They say you get to use the airco between 8pm and 8am but we were in the room after these times too and we could just turn on the airco fortunately. Otherwise it’s too hot.

Pros: Was comfortable you can stay here but go out all day and only come back in the night

Cons: The location

Pros: Comfortable rooms

Cons: That they said the aircon would be off all day but i indicated it didnt say so online

Pros: The price.

Cons: A very far walk to the beach.

Pros: It was close to the airport

Cons: Unfortunately when we arrived the staff member who greeted us wasn’t very friendly (it was late so maybe he was just tired). The worst thing is that the beds had bugs :( that really isn’t acceptable, no matter how cheap a place is
