Cartagena Hoteller i La Matuna

Fordeler: The hotel staff is very nice, they were very helpful, they can assist booking day trips to the islands or anywhere else you need to take a day tour to get to. The rooms are no frills, just a bed, desk, and TV, but they are very clean. The maid cleans the floors, makes the bed, and brings fresh towels every day. The rooms each have an air conditioner, which is essential in the heat of Cartagena. It sounds strange that there isn't hot water in the shower, but it's normal in northern Colombia. It is so hot out that you wouldn't want a hot shower, and the water isn't freezing cold, more like room temperature, so don't be surprised if it's your first visit. There is a filtered water cooler on every floor, so you don't need to buy bottled water. The hotel provides a buffet breakfast every morning, fresh fruit, arepas, eggs, juice, coffee, etc., it's enough to get you going in the morning. The price is right, very reasonable rates for a conveniently located, friendly hotel. The hotel is just a couple blocks from the walled old city and also a couple blocks from the pretty areas of Getsemaní.

Fordeler: The hotel is well situated between the Historic Center and Getsemani. Although the rooms and public spaces were clean, they are falling apart.

Fordeler: El servicio al ciente y trato de la recepción fue excelente.

Fordeler: Wifi, cold AC. Initial friendliness of staff but when we were checking out the guy at the front desk asked us to pay only cash for some soft drinks we had in our room. We didn't have Colombian money, since it was our last few hours in Cartagena. I Wanted to pay with my card like I paid for everything during our stay. Including the room. He finally relented and let me pay with the card. Don't know if this is how he makes his side money by scamming tourist. We also asked if he could call a taxi to the airport for us while we sat down stairs and enjoyed a coffee, his response was "you can get one down the street". We also had issues with the breakfast server forgetting our coffee almost every morning. I would have to wave her down and ask for it again. She was not very pleaseant, I guess three tables were too much for her.

Fordeler: The hotel is perfectly located about 10 minutes walk from most shopping and attractions. There is even a beach in walking distance. The staff was friendly and helpful. I was even met at the airport after my flight was severely delayed.

Fordeler: all the people very attentive and they helped you with everything we need. Everything is clean and nice
