    Cons -

    • Do not book any tours with the hotels, very expensive. We wanted to go to playa blanca and they were charging us 75k pesos, we decided to go to the streets and talk to other people and we were able to negotiate for 40k pesos.
    • Some things outdated

    The property was well maintained. Located in the walled city. So much to do right outside our door. The staff was amazing and always ready to help.

    No changes.

    Comfortable room. Air conditioner excellent. Nice to have a fridge. The restaurant was good and food excellent. The pool area was lovely and refreshing.

    No elevator but I managed just fine.

    The hotel exudes colonial charm. Everything worked like a good hotel should including the AC. Breakfast was one of the best of our trip.

    A real pool

    We had such a pleasant stay at Hotel Kartaxa. We stayed in room 307, which was a bit loud in the morning due to the school behind the hotel, but overall, we slept really well and felt so comfortable in both our room and this beautiful boutique hotel. The best part of our stay was definitely the staff—they were incredibly friendly and accommodating. Our best guy was Sergio, who helped us with many inquiries (thank you so much!). Carlos was also great, always greeting us with a smile. The ladies serving breakfast were warm and welcoming, making our mornings even better. The breakfast was just as good as it looked! 10/10—I highly recommend this hotel, and we would definitely stay here again if we return to Cartagena.

    It was a bit loud due to noise from outside and the nearby school, but I think that’s generally common in the old town.

    10EdwinPosted on: 3-8-2025

    Amazing breakfast (included), and a very friendly staff. I highly recommend it!

    Very rustic colonial style hotel, in a very convenient location, in the middle of the historic district.

    Good location in the center, lovely stuff members and clean facilities. Nice breakfast options.

    The room have only one window facing the staircases so it didn’t feel very private, so we had the blind down all the time with no natural light.

    8NadiaPosted on: 12-30-2024

    The people at the front desk were so helpful in my stay. Always open to help with recomendations. The food at the restaurant was so good

    Thought the room was more eqquip. Very standard room

    10ClairePosted on: 12-29-2024

    Hotel is in a great location right in the center of the walled city. Walking distance to great restaurants and shopping. The staff was always available and very responsive for all requests. Everything was clean. The property was beautiful, and had a great pool and rooftop space. Breakfast had a lot of options, of which we had many and all were delicious. Great hotel, will return when back in Cartagena.

    The stairs were steep, but not unmanageable.

    10JiaqiPosted on: 12-16-2024

    Location and facilities were amazing. Without mention the incredible experience from the staff, very attentive with your needs. Juan Pablo gave us the best experience.

    Everything was amazing.

    6EmmaPosted on: 12-13-2024

    Very beautiful property and rooms

    Bad food and the room had a balcony where the doors didnt fit against the walls so the noise was very loud all day and night

    10hugoPosted on: 12-3-2024

    This hotel is such a gem. Perfectly located, beautiful facilities, outstanding service, and delicious breakfast. I would stay in this hotel again without any doubt.

    Nothing to complain about!

    10NataliaPosted on: 11-21-2024

    The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was fantastic. Clean, quiet and comfortable rooms. Good location.

    9EmilPosted on: 11-20-2024

    The hotel is located in the heart of Cartagena very close to one of the biggest malls and various restaurants/boutique's inside the walls. The hotel staff was very accommodating and service-minded giving a positive attitude and making the experience much better. The pool was small but well-maintained and quite cozy.

    It can be a bit noisy during the morning hours. If you're a morning person, this won't bother you at all.

    10JitkaPosted on: 11-2-2024

    Everything works here. Room is clean and quiet. Hotel interior is cosy. Check in and check out were fast. Service at the desk fullfilled all our wishes. Sounds easy, doesn it? Of course there is lot of work and effort behind. Well done.

    Having fridge instead of bed side table.

    10ChanningPosted on: 10-7-2024

    Really pretty place and everyone was so nice and helpful. They also have an internal spa which was excellent

    The airconditioner was a bit loud, everything was exceptional

    10martinPosted on: 9-16-2024

    The location is great, right next to the fort walls and near all the restaurants and malls. The staff are incredible. They are so helpful and accommodating. The breakfast is incredible! You choose from a menu one dish and it comes with fruit, coffee, bread, and fresh juice. Highly recommended.

    The beds are a little stiff.
