It is in the area of the city you want to be in near the waterfront (but not right on the beach). The price is good. The rooms are ok, but nothing spectacular, but i don't need spectacular in a room. I just need to "sleep"

The staff were all super friendly and nice! I could leave my room key with them as I went out each day, my room was large and very clean. The pool was smaller than the pictures indicated but there were chairs around it to relax. Lots of restaurants within walking distance and most tours would pick up from it as well.

Ok hotel - in walking distance from the beach

The hotel is nice + in walking distance to a nice beach. The breakfast was understaffed, as there was only one lady working there. It therefor took a while to get served.

Me and two of my colleagues stayed in this particular hotel although it was a last-minute decision however we made it work. We stayed in Cartagena once before. And we had an amazing time all the trip did get canceled because of the war however we ended up back at Cartagena the people that worked at this hotel was amazing A1 I must say . One of my colleagues decided to pay a little bit extra to get a better room however he had no refrigerator no hot water. The bed was as hard as rocks in the same with my room. The bed was extremely hard. The AC did not work I complained twice they never fixed it. The water was not hot and asked for my other colleague same thing with his bed as well extremely hard. The pool was decent. If you ask me what I stay in this place I would say no knowing these conditions, the overpriced everything they up charges for the breakfast for extra cheese. Imagine that we don’t mind paying for extra but when it’s not listed, we have issues with that, however overall the place is not a good place to stay so if you guys are seeking to go to this country it’s an amazing country that people are really nice. Do not choose this hotel. It’ll be the worst mistake you ever paid for.

A hotel itself is pretty basic the breakfast very basic. The staff on the other hand were very accommodating very nice. They upgraded my room because the first room they put me in was very small and smelled terribly. I could recommend this hotel if you’re just looking for basic accommodation and not luxury it is a good value and it’s conveniently located next to everything.

Disappointing, Misleading, and Poorly Managed. I booked Hotel OR through Expedia during a trip to Colombia and my experience was extremely disappointing. Due to a medical emergency caused by an attempted robbery in Medellín that resulted in a serious knee injury, I was forced to change my travel dates. I contacted Expedia immediately and asked only that my hotel stay be moved to match my revised flights, not refunded, and was open to reasonable fees. The hotel was extremely difficult to reach and when contact was finally made, management refused any flexibility. I was charged for a four-day stay I physically could not attend and ultimately ended up paying for the same hotel twice in good faith, assuming the second booking would be refunded. It was not. When I arrived in person to resolve the issue, the manager was cold, dismissive, and unhelpful, making no effort to acknowledge the situation. The condition of the hotel was also poor, with visible mold that appeared to have been painted over rather than properly addressed, raising concerns about cleanliness and health standards. Between the lack of empathy, rigid policies, and substandard conditions, this stay fell far below expectations. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone expecting professionalism or basic customer care.

Nice street view from balcony (but I think only two apartments with balcony so maybe I got lucky). Breakfast is purposely cooked for you and good quality, so not unlimited buffet. Central, lots to do nearby, near restaurants, transport, beach, gym, shops. Cooler and fridge in room was surprisingly good. Secure building because no visitors allowed and reception very small. Very noisy area nearly all night/morning, no blackout blinds, no “do not disturb/clean” tag for door, none of the staff speak basic level of English. Overall, you get what you pay for (so don’t compare to Hilton or Caribe down the road) and if you don’t mind the night noise and speak a little Spanish then a good choice for travelling on a budget and I would return but most probably bring something to temporarily blackout windows.

The first room shown was dirty and clearly not what I paid for. The second room did not match the advertised photos. There was visible mold on walls and under the air conditioner, bugs in the room, no hot water, a broken TV, a non-functioning safe, and no refrigerator despite being listed. Bedding consisted of only a sheet and small throw. Amenities were also misleading. The advertised “full breakfast” does not exist; there is no buffet and basic items cost extra. The rooftop breakfast area appeared unhygienic. The pool was cloudy, dirty, and unusable, and there is no hot tub despite listings suggesting otherwise. This property is poorly maintained, misleadingly advertised, and managed with little regard for guests. I would not recommend it.

This place isn’t for tourists !!! As i came in. Big sign on elevator not working. I changed room due to bad smell. In the other room air conditioning wasn’t working so at 2am i was offered a room at the 4th floor no elevator. Now good luck moving your staff. Next day i asked a free night they refused and willing to give only half price on another night. Thanks to orbitz that saved me from that place. No hot water !!! What ?? They said in few days they’ll fix that…. Yea right like the elevator. Poor bedding. Internet disconnect all the time. Breakfast is a joke. Horrible. You wait 20 min until they talk to you. Antz all over tables. Not safe. At night only 1 worker at reception that can get easily to your room. The woman asked me not to write bad review but im sorry. I have to warn other ppl not to trap into this place. STAY AWAY as you can. Cheers.

This hotel has its pros and cons: Pros: -If you're seeking an affordable place within a short walking distance to the beach, this hotel is an excellent choice. Boca Grande beach is just a 3-5 minute walk away. -The neighborhood is safe and offers convenient access to amenities like banks, shops, and restaurants. It's also easy to find transportation to the city center within 10-20 minutes. Cons: - While they provide daily room cleaning, the sheets won't be changed unless you specifically request it. - The air conditioning doesn't have an automatic shut-off, leading to uncomfortably cold nights, especially since there are no comforters. - Curiously, they keep tight control over the towels, as if they're afraid they'll be stolen. Your towels often disappear as soon as you step out. - The hotel enforces numerous rules, giving the impression of being confined in a restrictive environment such as a jail. For each visitor you have, there's a charge of 70,000 COB before they're allowed to enter your room. This policy applies even if it's just a brief 1-hour massage, which can become quite costly if you have many friends visiting. Additionally, the staff's attitude towards visitors can be quite impolite. - Complimentary bottled water is not provided. - The breakfast experience is quite underwhelming and minimal. However, considering the price you pay, it's acceptable. In conclusion, I would not choose to stay there again. Best of luck in your decision-making.

Llegamos cansados del aeropuerto y nos encontramos con todo esto en la habitación: -La ducha salía sin presión y con inexistencia de agua caliente. -La manilla de la puerta del baño estaba rota por dentro, la única manera de abrir la puerta era que otra persona lo hiciera por la parte de afuera. -La puerta principal de la habitación tenía un hueco en todo el medio. -El lavamanos se tapaba de agua al usarlo, y se hacía una piscina en el lavamanos. -La tapa de la poceta por dentro estaba negra, lo cual era desagradable usar. -Tanto el lavamanos como los muebles de la televisión (sucios), estaban pelados, y oxidados. -Las paredes estaban con muchas manchas negras. -La atención por parte de la gerente fue de muy mal gusto. -La vista de la habitación daba miedo.
