10 Top-Rated Lodges in Cartagena, Cartagena District, Bolivar Department

May 6, 2023 Etsuko Causey

Cartagena, a gorgeous fishing village on Colombia's Caribbean coast, has excellent beaches, a historic old town (that's entirely walkable) and beautiful colonial architecture. It's also one of the safest places in the country, so it's no wonder it's a popular port of call for cruise ships. Need a break from exploring the cobblestone streets? Stop at an outdoor cafe for excellent pastries and people-watching.

If you have a group trip and want some level of privacy I recommend this hotel! Off the beaten path somewhere between Cartagena and Palenque, this Hotel was a treat as a stop on the Palenque Tour. We had a delicious breakfast (several options so if you choose American fare it’s available). Horseback riding, the most loveable black Labrador retriever and birds are there for your access. The parrot talks and says some “interesting” things. He’s free but his wings are clipped. The pool is nice but I chose to look at all of the AMAZING ART all over the property. A group of 10 could come here and Turn up!!! Like they own the whole place! Food was so good!!!!

We spent 3 nights there and it was just perfect especially ‘el desayuno’ with a staff very careful and committed. Hotel very well placed in the heart of the old town but not in the busiest area. Boutique hotel with only 4 rooms that will let you enjoy la vida de Cartagena

Reviewed By christian j

Halte à Carthagène des Indes, nous y avons passé qu' une nuit. Hôtel sans prétention, mais très bon marché, propre et accueillant. Pour dormir, il fait largement l'affaire, et dans sa catégorie (pas d'étoile) je le note très bien. Egalement parking sécurisé et fermé pour la nuit, ce qui évite de décharger tous les bagages.

More a casa than a hotel

Reviewed By Road39424876022

+ Very good location, close to the vibrant Plaza de la Trinidad with its great street food and lively atmosphere; simple and (daily!) clean rooms; TV and A/C, nice little courtyard with plants and shade; great breakfast: all freshly prepared by one of the employees: tasty arepas and eggs, fresh fruit, juice and coffee. Both employees we met were very nice and attentive! + We were very lucky to get one of the rooms looking to the courtyard: spectacularly quiet given all the noise coming from close-by Plaza de la Trinidad… We suppose the two rooms on the street side are not as comfortable for that reason. The house is super calm, which we really appreciated. Important note: it is much more a «casa» than a hotel, with only four rooms, a corridor/hall and open kitchen next to the courtyard. It is important to know this, since there is no real reception or present staff all day/night long. – We were asked for our arrival time on Booking which we gave, yet when arriving at the front door – without bell - no one came to open after knocking… until a young guest very nicely came up to do it. Inside we then met one employee, who was actually unaware of our arrival. She was very nice and concerned, and then quickly finished preparing the room. So a little bit disorganised on that part from the administration… – We were informed upon arrival that only payment by cash is accepted, which is not what is mentioned on Booking. Fortunately, another employee had a little card-reading device with her so luckily we could pay by card. It seems there is a bit of a grey zone there (see other comments from guests regarding this). It would be a great disadvantage to not be able to pay by card, since you get to such large sums in Colombian pesos and you do not really want to walk around with huge rolls of money... – For longer stays, bear in mind that the breakfast will be the same everyday, between arepas and toasts with eggs, but juice and fruit might slightly vary. For people with special diets it is not very accommodating. – The whole «casa» could get a brush of fresh paint as it seems worn down. The mattress was old and had a broken spring. It would make a great difference if the state of things was in better shape, even if the whole house remains simple and modest.

Ikke som forventet

Reviewed By annemarief775

Vi fandt dette sted på nettet og reserverede pr. telefon og mail. Aftalen var et værelse med privat bad, toilet og havudsigt og betaling med Visa kort. Da vi ankom viste det sig, at der ikke var rindende vand på badeværelset. Der var en 20 ltr. spand og en øse, så man kunne tage bad på den måde. Havudsigten var der dog. Betaling med Visa skulle foregå på den måde, at de ville ringe til en fyr, som skulle have en provision på ikke mindre end 20 procent for at udbetale pengepå Visa til at betale regningen med. Da der senere på dagen kom en båd med rigtig mange endagsturister, som gjorde krav på alle solsengene ved stranden, var målet fuldt, og vi valgte at checke ud igen mod betaling af 1/3 af dagsprisen. Alt i alt en dårlig oplevelse med dette hotel. MEGET primitive forhold på Playa Blanca (som i Indonesien for 25 år siden) og alt for mange turister i løbet af dagen. Husk masser af kontanter, hvis du vælger at tage derover.
