Cartagena hotels near Las Bóvedas

Pros: The entire atmosphere

Pros: Beautiful, excellent service. Detail oriented. Great location

Cons: First room given was not what was expected

Pros: The Santa Clara is exceptional in every sense. The decor, the service, quality of the food, everything is always on point.

Cons: The facilities were being renovated - lots of noise

Cons: Did not have view from my room; just a wall

Cons: Lights in the room could have been better

Pros: Great styling. The common areas and room was beautiful.

Cons: The toilet and shower were not very luxurious for the price. The toilet was tight with little privacy, and the bathroom sink fixture was loose. I expected a large luxurious walk-in tile shower with a rain head, but the shower was very standard and had only warm-ish water, not hot. The upstairs balcony was cool looking but impractical to use due to the steep and narrow spiral stairs. The exterior balcony doors either stuck closed or wouldn't fully close. The bed had a loose headboard that leaned back with any pressure, and the mattresses were two twins, not a king. Couch was also misshapen and not comfortable. Mini-bar lacked a pricing sheet. Nice room, but I would expect the details to be perfect for the cost per night.

Pros: Pool area is fun sunning or splashing but it is large with nice views and well maintained. Rooms were good ours at the front had a lot of light. In the back not so much but in a hot climate not a problem. Common areas were fun. Every thing was clean and worked.

Cons: It is a small hotel and for the price you can not expect perfect breakfasts or fast checkin. Staff spoke english if imperfectly.

Pros: No doubt, the place is beautiful. Such lovely aesthetic and furniture, beautiful rooftop, two pools (tends to have girls Insta profiling 50% of the time FYI!), some of the staff are wonderful and the food, both room service and attached restaurant, Dona Lola, is very good. Just sort out some of the basics please!

Cons: We really wanted to love this hotel, it is so pretty. But it's hard when you don't have a proper sleep or shower for 5 days. Firstly, 3 days out of 5, we had no hot water for showers. None. Tried in the morning and afternoon, nothing. Totally cold, and it's off season. Second, their staff can be quite abrupt, not all but some, took a little getting used to, certainly the reception is hit and miss. Rooftop team generally pretty good. Room service was also really hit and miss: we had used glasses and two kettles, clearly visible, left for 2 days, and some days we got pool towels, some days not. It could have been cleaned better too and the time she turned up were weird, 4pm one day. Mainly, third: THE NOISE. This is easily the noisiest hotel I have ever stayed in, even compared to airport hotels: it is ridiculous. There is zero sound insulation between rooms and even being a floor above and slightly near the kitchen, we could hear them easily and they play music until 1130 or midnight, every night, start again 6am. We had a noisy guest on his phone, ditto his t.v., could hear everything and he was the floor below. Any guests walking past our room, anything. You are also right next to two quite loud bars/music clubs and the hotel is not equipped to keep the noise out. We were out late ish most nights, but when you have arrived from Cuba after a 5am flight and just want to sleep at 10pm, no dice. The bathroom window doesn't actually have any glass in it and half of our wall (room 9) was made out of glass doors with no seal. I'd try and avoid any ground floor rooms and rooms 8,9,10, with the higher number rooms being more secluded. Overall, this place needs some money spent on it if they are going to charge what they are charging. They also tax and tip you from loving the place, with 8% tax, 10% tips on everything and 8000 per day on top of the bill for a tourism tax!

Pros: Casa Lola is in a perfect location for Getsemani. You can walk to absolutely everything. Very safe street, lots of restaurants and bars, great nightlife. The room was spacious and had everything we needed. Good rooftop area with multiple pools. Staff were friendly and did their best to help.

Cons: You could hear everything from the room next door and the breakfast area was incredibly hot as there is no airflow in the courtyard and hot plastic tablecloths.

Pros: UNREAL CUSTOMER SERVICE. super nice hotel and will guarantee return for more nights. food is great but what sets it apart is the amazing friendly staff

Cons: Nada

Pros: I fell in love with the design of this building and the decor. This place isn’t just a hotel, it’s an experience. I never wanted to leave the atrium! Breakfast was always delicious and the staff cheerful.

Cons: There is no bar by the pool. The pools are small but AMAZING. The views are great from its rooftop. Ordered a few drinks via the guest phone but both times the order was wrong and the wait very long. It’s the only bad thing I can say about this place. Otherwise, the entire experience was amazing. It’s a place I’ll never forget. Highly recommend.

Pros: Great location and low prices. Hotel is small but it makes up in comfort.

Pros: Nice building and great location. Nice view from the rooftop. I very much enjoyed the meal I had in their restaurant although I found it overpriced.

Cons: The room was very small and noisy - right across the kitchen. Be aware that many rooms are inside facing and if you end up on the ground floor there will be quite a bit of traffic and noise. Also, your room might not be ready at 3 p.m. and do not expect an apology or gesture. Bathroom needs painting and deep cleaning.

Pros: It was a beautiful and very special hotel, originally being a home. It was amazing. The staff was friendly and the food was very good.

Cons: One of our rooms were not ready even if we arrived after 15.00, which was check in time, also being a late check in time. Our daughter was not feeling well that day so that was unfortunate not to have the room. We did not have to wait very long but still. Cleaning could have been better.

Pros: everything was above average.

Cons: on the day of the departure, we asked the lobby to call a taxi with a hope that a taxi company which has a connection to the hotel would be more reliable and up-scale. But the taxi that the hotel called was the smallest, filthiest, and oldest taxi that I have ever taken in Colombia.

Cons: Great location to walk to tourist sites...

Pros: Location

Cons: breakfast, because there a somethings were not fresh

Pros: Staff is very friendly and helpful, breakfast included, good value for Cartagena.

Cons: No hot water, beds are hard, location is a bit scary; however, it’s not dangerous.

Pros: 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.

Cons: The breakfast room is not air conditioned, there are lots of fans but no air conditioning, nor anywhere else on the first floor or any of the hallways. The hallways are looking a bit shabby and so is the exterior, the hotel is currently undergoing renovations, including to some rooms, so I imagine it will look fresher once they have finished.

Cons: The staff were a bit rude.

Pros: Good breakfast, great location & friendly staff, also allows access to two other hotels pools in Bacrogrande area which are very enjoyable & cheap refreshing drinks and snacks

Cons: Nothing. Had a great stay!

Pros: Location and authentic

Cons: Don’t have fridge

Pros: Close to the old city Nice big beds Good breakfast buffet.

Cons: AC worked but was old and needs to be replaced since you couldn't adjust the fan or else. Staff could be nicer.

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

Cons: I do not appreciate bring treated like a criminal by hotel staff. One is a nuisance to everyone. I'm sorry I decided to stay at your hotel and get in your way. If you are lucky, you will get water from the shower or the sink at certain times of day. Guests are not welcome past the front gate so avoid meeting anyone in town. Stay at a hostel for less money, better service and a friendly atmosphere.

Pros: Safe room with AC, TV and a bed

Cons: The facilities need maintenance and upgrades. It had more of a motel feel than a hotel. Linens were average.

Pros: Excellent location, staff friendly and attentive

Cons: The beds could be more comfortable

Pros: Location was acceptabel and staff were friendly.

Cons: Don't expect too much. Just a place to sleep. I reserved the airport shuttle, but it was never there, so I had to take a taxi myself.

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

Pros: Location and price

Cons: A little bit of lack of cleanliness on the bathroom the first day

Cons: Don't like that the room has a bad smell and the installations are old
