Casa Noa Colonial Rooms

10/10 Excellent

"Super , un ambiente muy familiar"

Bastión Luxury Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location, great service, they just need to improve the breakfast and the elevator was very slow and not working few times."

Mood Matuna Hotel Cartagena

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very warm and inviting. We booked the suite with private pool. The view was beautiful and even though there was a lot of activity on the street, the room was quiet. We loved that the hotel was walking distance to the walled city and many restaurants and nightlife. The restaurant is under construction so we didn’t take advantage of the food services, but that did not impact our stay. We would stay here again."

Hotel Casa La Mantilla by Faranda Boutique

10/10 Excellent

"Great spot - bit pricey when we went cause it was a holiday weekend, but cannot fault the hotel - the staff, the pool and the breakfast were all great. We struggled to get the right hot water temperature but it was so hot there it didn’t matter"
