Very mediocre hotel in an aging building, standards of maybe 2* hotel and definitely not worth the price. Room doesn't look at all like in the pictures. We got the view of a dirty rooftop with rubbish laying around, someone's old socks included. You can hear all the sounds from outside - we woke up several times at night thinking someone is breaking into our room, turned out it was neighbors entering or leaving their room. There's a basic stove but no pots, no plates, no cups, nothing included. Rooftop pool is okay but the music is way too loud in the evenings and the glass railing surrounding the pool is dirty, limiting the views (windows in the room don't seem to be ever washed too). On the plus side - breakfast and food overall were good, the staff working there was nice too (and the restaurant people were just amazing). The location is great - in a quiet street but close to everything. I wouldn't stay again but for half the price it could be a decent place for a few days.

I just came back from Cartagena and this was my experience in this hotel. Respectfully since every person expectations are different The room was specious but very outdated, the tile on the bathroom looked like it is falling down, it had courtines but dirty, kitchen cabinet old and doors falling down. Only one night table beside the bed, pillows very uncomfortable and bed sheet very old, no blankets provided, or iron machine or blowdryer, they have to be requested and only if available you can get it since they don't have enough for all rooms. There were mini cockaroach by the bed. Bathroom mirror and sink again outdated looked like rust on it. The door to enter has a very old system to lock with a key. It looks nothing like in the pictures. The pictures were probably taken when the hotel was built. Rooftop meh. The soroundings are good 👍 but hotel, I was not impressed Amd from what you see in pictures and videos nothing like it. You cannfwr everything in this area, food, pharmacy, banks, hotels, groceries etc and close to the beach. When I arrive in Colombia, we stayed two nights at a different hotel in December and I didn't book the same hotel because we thought we may risk it if we didn't like the first stay hotel but we regret it since the experience was the opposite. But anyways, Carragena is beautiful, do your research before booking and read reviews which I may have missed on this one. Happy travels!

This appears to be a property that was converted from residential to hotel. The units themselves are very large. However, the maintenance was non existent. Nonfunctioning refrigerators, non-working air-conditioning. Service is also subpar – housekeeping only came after multiple requests. The toilet paper was rationed, as were the towels.We purchased an all-inclusive package and found the food barely edible. The rules for the “all inclusive” meant getting any drinks, including soft drinks and water - only during the hours of 11 AM to 6 PM. Otherwise you were charged even for a basic room service request. The staff were friendly and did their best but our 7 day stay at this hotel was extremely disappointing. I would not return nor would I recommend it to anyone else.

This property is a catfish! We booked because of the overall good ratings and images of the property. When we arrived our jaws dropped it was nothing like it seemed online, the vibe is very depressing as you enter there was no one there to greet us. As we walked to the receptionist there was one person and she knew nothing of how to check someone in. She finally contacted someone and they checked us in just to be told it would be another 20 to 30 minutes before our room was ready, that’s when I really started to worry. Mind you we are frequent travelers and are fully aware that things can come up which is fully understandable. But we had traveled all morning we were tired and we had booked in advance. Finally the key manager led us up to our room and I was excited to see the ocean view from our window as shown in the picture reservation. Very disappointed to see it was facing a dumpster site with no view, then to make matters worse I inspect the room and the shower is right next to the bed, and only a glass door to the commode. No privacy at all whatsoever. The room was so hot we ran the ac never cooled down, honestly not big enough for the room size. We ended up moving the mattress to the middle of the room to get some air. We decided to check out the next day and find something more accommodating, this was not it! I kindly requested to please be refunded for the days that were not used which were 5 days and of course I was denied. Im sorry but this hotel is deceitful.

El personal es muy amable y los cuartos están cómodos, pero tuve una mala experiencia con el paquete “todo incluido” que reservé a través de Expedia. Las bebidas alcohólicas solo están disponibles en el bar de la piscina y en un horario limitado, de 11:00 a.m. a 6:00 p.m., lo cual me parece poco razonable. Además, el paquete no incluye bebidas como refrescos (sodas), lo que fue una gran decepción. En cuanto a la comida, las opciones son muy limitadas y las porciones bastante pequeñas. Durante la cena, el servicio es tipo buffet, pero si quieres más comida, solo te ofrecen acompañamientos, lo cual me parece absurdo. En resumen, no recomiendo pagar por el plan de todo incluido, ya que no vale la pena.

The hotel room was very spacious, clean, simple. The woman at the front desk was a little stand-off ish but the rest of the staff was very accommodating. The bellhop and assistant manager were very helpful. The pool is much smaller than it appears in the images. The food was ok, not many options and a little bland. There are a lot of nice restaurants in the area with great affordable meals.
