Cartagena hotels near Plaza de Santo Domingo

Pros: The good: Very nice staff. Beautiful indoor pool and charming architecture. Comfortable beds. You cannot beat the location. The bad: On our first night they put us in a terrible room (#105.) DO NOT ACCEPT THIS ROOM. ASK TO SEE YOUR ROOM BEFORE ACCEPTING. The room was dark, noisy, with a tiny window and a bathroom that was not air conditioned and had a window opening to the street that could not be closed! Again, be careful with the rooms because some are terrible. In the end, however, after staying in a decent room for several nights but which began to smell of sewage we were moved to a lovely room. The other issue is that the menu doesn't change and, after several days of the same selections we wanted variety. Overall, if you get the right room, it's an excellent hotel with very nice staff.

Pros: The hotel is beautiful. The staff is always willing to help to make sure your stay is unforgettable. The restaurant ALMA, located in the hotel, is one of the best restaurants in Cartagena. If you are going to spend time in the hotel and are with someone special, this is the place to stay. Unlike the bigger luxury hotels in Cartagena, this hotel offers a more personal/intimate service since there are only about 30 rooms! One of my favorite parts was the coconut treats that the staff leaves in your room every night, which are made in the hotel. I liked them so much, i bought a dozen to bring back with me!

Pros: I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed this hotel. You have all the amenities you could want from a top grade hotel, paired with a friendly/warm staff who make it feel more like a boutique hotel. The restaurant on the first floor (Harry Sasson) was also great. I will definitely stay here again when I return to Cartagena!

Pros: Nice location, beautiful rooftop, good Service.

Pros: Great views and the staff was amazing

Pros: Great breakfast, wonderful location. Staff was very helpful and accommodating. Lovely pool area and pool bar. Rooms were lovely.

Pros: Designed with taste & care enhancing a beautiful old building. Exceptional staff. Exceptional ambience. Superb location. Roof garden/pool area are a heaven. Listening to piano from the nearby children's ballet school late afternoon is bliss. I'd live

Pros: Location, appearance.

Pros: Great staff and clean rooms. Location is perfect and the price was right.

Pros: All staff at the hotel were friendly and attentive - which is hard to come by in Cartagena. The rooms and hotel overall were clean and comfortable, simple but nothing less than you need for a great stay. The view from the pool, upwards to the balconies of the building which are covered in plants and flowers, is beautiful. Breakfast is delicious with plenty of options and a good size too. We wish we could have stayed longer. We will return to this hotel if we stay in Cartagena again.

Pros: hotel is centrally located and in the middle of everything. cute and really pretty. pool. nice breakfast with made to order eggs. excellent AC.

Pros: Wifi, cold AC. Initial friendliness of staff but when we were checking out the guy at the front desk asked us to pay only cash for some soft drinks we had in our room. We didn't have Colombian money, since it was our last few hours in Cartagena. I Wanted to pay with my card like I paid for everything during our stay. Including the room. He finally relented and let me pay with the card. Don't know if this is how he makes his side money by scamming tourist. We also asked if he could call a taxi to the airport for us while we sat down stairs and enjoyed a coffee, his response was "you can get one down the street". We also had issues with the breakfast server forgetting our coffee almost every morning. I would have to wave her down and ask for it again. She was not very pleaseant, I guess three tables were too much for her.
