The best available Specialty lodgings to stay near Cartagena

May 6, 2023 Concepcion Newsome

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.

Great location, building, and staff (especially JAMES)

Reviewed By Christopher K

The hotel is beautiful and the remodel was true to the original style of the building. The rooms are small, but comfortable and well-appointed with AC that works well. The staff is courteous and professional and goes the extra mile to help the guests. James, in particular, went above and beyond to help my friend find a bag that was lost between the airport and the hotel. He put as much effort into finding her bag as if it was his own. I will definitely be staying here next time I come to Cartagena.

Getsemani Cartagena Hotel

Getsemani Cartagena Hotel and Spa has 24 luxury rooms and suites, nine of which are located in the original Republican house and decorated in a period style, as one would expect from a beautiful Republican house. The rest of the rooms and suites are located in the new wing of the hotel and offer a modern and comfortable design. The 24 spacious rooms and suites have been designed

Very poorly managed. They need a new manager/administrator.

I sent numerous emails through Hotels.com and the hotel website, no response. After we were in Colombia I called the hotel maybe 10 or 12 times, no response. I wanted to advise them of our late arrival, request a quiet room and arrange an airport pickup. I paid for 4 nights for a superior room. The room had a nice king bed, but the rooms are VERY small. It had to be the noisiest room in the place,,,right on the main road and the breakfast area right below and outside our room. The very loud breakfast noise began about 6am. I right away requested another quieter room. They finally moved us 2 days later to a standard room. So, I requested compensation since I had already paid for a superior room. The staff said the management would be in contact. No such luck. They ripped me off. I never heard a word from the manager, even after several conversations with the staff. Management is horrible in this hotel. On the positive side. The staff is sweet and helpful. The beds are probably the most comfortable beds I have ever slept on.. Breakfast was great. The location was great. Management is very bad.

Hotel High Park

Not correct

Reviewed By werthertheoriginal

We stayed before at this place, as the owners look very friendly, we decided after our trip from Minca to go back and stay here. We made a booking through booking.com. Sadly enough our friend got ill and we needed to stay in Santa Marta and take a plane from there to Bogota. As I explained to the owner that our friend got ill and we needed to take a plane to Bogota. He agreed upon canceling the room without any costs. He just kept me in a vicious loop without ever paying the money back that booking.com took from me. Wouldn’t recommend to come here again.

Soy Local Insignia

The good, the bad, and the peculiar.

Reviewed By GeorgeF865

A strange hotel if I’m honest. Well located and check in was straightforward. My loft room was spacious, albeit I found it a peculiar use of the space. Going to the toilet in the middle of the night and walking along the creaking floorboards wasn’t ideal. The pool area is nice. I wonder why they’ve not made the pool bigger, and I couldn’t get a pool towel for love nor money. Breakfast up there in the mornings is nice, but the food on offer is very basic.

Opening our eyes at our hotel every morning is to feel how special it can be to wake up.

New and Clean

Reviewed By AlCarr

This is a new small hotel in the Old Town/Walled City. It is located across from the main building of the U of Cartagena, close to the main attractions of the old town. The hotel opened 1.5-2 months ago. Staff are very friendly. However, there were issues with water in the bathroom (first morning, there was no water. I complained and the water started to come but then stopped flowing in the middle of showering!). Breakfast is very poor: a cheese and ham sandwich on white bread, coffee. No options. Price is reasonable.

Safe place outside the city centre. This place is no Hilton but shows the more rustic parts of the city. Perfect AC, nice little place to sit, good walking or car distance to the city centre, Some fun street food spots on the way!
