I had an incredible week at this hotel! It was a beautiful boutique place with a unique charm that made my stay incredibly enjoyable. The rooms were comfortable, and the hotel staff went above and beyond to help us with anything we needed. However, the entrance was a bit hard to find, and the open layout of the bathroom wasn't ideal for privacy. Overall, it offered great value for its price.

I had a fantastic stay at this beautiful boutique hotel in old Cartagena. The views from the executive suite's balconies were stunning, and the location made it easy to explore the city's best restaurants. While the shower had some temperature issues, and noise traveled a bit between the rooms, the overall experience was lovely, with kind service and charming decor. The atmosphere was romantic, and the rooftop pool offered a perfect escape from the heat.

The hotel is a beautiful colonial gem located in the heart of Cartagena, but it felt a bit overpriced for what we experienced. While the second room was perfect and very clean, we had a rocky start with an unclean initial room and a maintenance issue with the door. The private boat trip was enjoyable, but the dining options on the island were a downside, as we encountered an overpriced menu with limited choices.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The architecture is stunning, and the ambiance is quite romantic, but my initial room was not up to par with cleanliness and maintenance. Thankfully, the second room was much better. The location in Cartagena is fantastic, and the breakfast was great, but the dining options for lunch during our day trip were misleading. Overall, it feels like a charming place, but there are definitely areas for improvement.

I had a memorable stay at this charming boutique hotel that beautifully blends old-world charm with modern amenities. The air conditioning in my room was efficient, and the pool area provided a perfect escape from the heat. However, the dining experience fell a little short for me, as I found the recommended restaurant to be rather touristy when I was hoping for something more authentic. Overall, the hotel is a great value with lovely rooms and delightful staff, making it a unique place to stay.
