TravellerGood place price property
TravellerGreat location. Staff is very informative
TravellerThis was not a good stay! My room had roaches , the bathroom shower head was broken. So it sprayed out an excessive amount of water, flooding the bathroom. I told the cleaning lady that shower head was broken nothing was done! The front desk was not very friendly. When I left the hotel the front desk agent forgot that I turned my key in. I was completely disgusted by the unprofessionalism!
TravellerIt was really good.
TravellerJust a little noise, but great location
TravellerTodo bien costo beneficio
TravellerSafe location walkable to clock tower and restaurants and coffe shops

TravellerGreat location and excellent customer service
TravellerEl staff fue el mas amable del condado! te recomiendan lugares a donde ir, y tienen un trato super amable!
TravellerExcellent Staff and great location!
My stay at Soy Local Centro Histórico was incredible! The staff were wonderful—always friendly, attentive, and eager to help with anything I needed. The cleaning team was amazing, keeping everything spotless and organized. Most importantly, I felt very safe and well cared for throughout my stay. I highly recommend this hotel for a comfortable and secure experience!
TravellerParking is nearly impossible. Dirty and bit up street and nearby business. Pool is just an oversized bathtub with overgrown plants all around. Bathroom was clean but sofa had notable spots of vomit. Second floor beds and walls are white and you can see mosquitos smeared on the walls and all kind of organic stains. This is just a place to crash but not to relax. Stairs inside the apartment are dangerous. AC worked great but did not reach second floor all that well.
TravellerGood location within the walled city but be prepared because the bed is upstairs and bathroom is downstairs so i hope you dont have to use the bathroom too frequently while sleeping because you have to go back down the stairs to use it. That was the only inconvenience in my opinion.
TravellerExcellent staff and location to centro. Will be back to this location
TravellerEverything was easy.
TravellerThe room is super nice and the personnel are very helpful and knowledgeable of the area around the hotel, The view from the rooftop it's incredible and it's very well located, for those who don't speak English they have English speakers in the lobby, I highly recommend this place, there's no need to rent a car cuz you have access to the best parts of the city, they are all within walking distance.
TravellerLou at the front desk is the Best, friendly, helpful and top shelf security
TravellerThe property was ok. Definitely a good place to stay for the price
TravellerGood place, good guys
Excellent service as always. Richard and Lucho..are Excellent guys thst work here
TravellerThe hotel staff was very friendly.
TravellerGood location!!
TravellerBest place to stay in Cartagena
If you are looking for the best place to stay in Cartagena, look no further. Location is excellent, just walking distance to the most iconic places in the city. Perfect if you want to party and come back walking. Accomodation is great, with little balconies with city views and a great terrace in the last floor. Reception people are amazing. Will definetly be coming back soon.
TravellerClose to clock tower and by good pizza place .
TravellerGood hotel located inside wall city walking distance to clock tower
TravellerExcellent service, cordial staff, and very clean.
TravellerGreat location!
TravellerGuy with glasses at front desk is the coolest person on property
TravellerRoom is better in pictures. Absurd ladder to acces the bed.
TravellerReally comfortable place, easy to find and close to torre del reloj which was convenient for the tours since mostly that’s where they pick up. There are a lot of stores nearby and the host really helpful and friendly. Safe place and close to Getsemani.
TravellerOverall the stay was good but it was very noisy everyday. In front of the hotel. Construction going on across the street allday allnight. For it being a dead end street there’s lots of traffic, cars trying to fit in anywhere they can. Horns popping, alarms going off, would not stay at this location due to it being very noisy outside
TravellerVery well located. Attractions are at walking distance.
TravellerThe hotel was a walkable distance to all the attractions.The guys at the front desk spoke English and were so helpful.
TravellerI would have given a better rating if the room cleaning service was available every day. You only get one room cleaning during your stay.
TravellerExcellent location with everything at your doorstep. The facilities were ideal for a city break, and staff were very helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
TravellerSo, the property is weird, like the lofted section where we stayed was very poorly constructed and our neighbors bathroom was underneath so we could hear EVERYTHING they did and said. Also no real amenities.
TravellerExcellent I love it
TravellerRichard and his brother at the front desk provided the best service I have received at a hotel.
TravellerThe property was in a good location for all my needs, I felt secure on the property and the hotel clerks and house keepers provided excellent service. I didn,t like that the rooms had no privacy.
TravellerRecommended
Perfectly located and very clean!
TravellerReview

TravellerFun stay
Great location Pool is not at this location
TravellerThe place was great,Difficult to find on taxi. Close to everything torre de reloj. Hotel very clean. They deliver the breakfast to your room on time. The staff very friendly. My family love it .will stay there again.
TravellerThe staff was really friendly and hospitable. It's apartment style, and the rooms/decor are beautiful. However, doesn't have typical hotel amenities if that is what you're looking for.
TravellerGreat value! The location was convenient, and it was super affordable!
TravellerLocation and Service!
Great location -- easy to get to Getsemani and tucked away from the busy/loud streets in the walled city area. The staff was also incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Cindy and Juan!
TravellerLa mejor opción por mucho en Cartagena.
Creo que es el mejor hotel para ir a Cartagena, la ubicación es excepcional a 100 metros la torre del reloj, restaurantes, supermercados, a 800 metros caminando el muelle la bodeguita, el personal increíble, la habitación equipada y super linda, Jefferson vende buenos tours, contáctenlo, en el lobby, Richard, Ana, en fin todos, hicieron de nuestras vacaciones unas vacaciones espectaculares.
TravellerOutside street a bit dirty
TravellerNo tuvimos agua caliente como 3 días y sin agua todo un día. La comunicación un poco difícil porque había que escribir por WhatsApp pues no hay citofono y se demoran en contestar. Hay que subir escaleras con las maletas.
TravellerExcelente ubicación y servicio
