Cartagena hotels near Plaza de San Diego

Pros: The entire atmosphere

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

Cons: First room given was not what was expected

Cons: The facilities were being renovated - lots of noise

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

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: Decor and furnishing was amazing!

Cons: Location is in Getsemani ( in the middle of the local district and right next to a salsa club). Stay here if you want an authentic experience and don’t mind dancing to salsa until midnight

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: 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: Very good value for money. Really nice design. Excellent location. The breakfast sitting areas under a tree is great.

Pros: The hotel itself is beautiful and the staff were extremely friendly. We weren’t happy with the size of our room and they were very happy to upgrade us to a much nicer room at a small cost. The new room way exceeded our expectations.

Cons: Be warned that the standard room is basic and small. I don’t think the photos on booking.com reflect this room tier, so it’s misleading.

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...

Cons: Wifi service could be better

Cons: I need the invoice for my stay at the Hotel, at the front desk just gave a receipt. I was on business trip, I need the invoice to report my expenses. at the check out, they told me they don´t have the invoice, where can I claim one.

Pros: food was ok , dinning room too crowded

Cons: the resort it so old, it needs a lot of work the swimming pool too small and the only had one. I have stay at De Cameron in Panama and el Salvador and that's why we choose this one thinking it was going to the same. We made a very bad decision. very disapointed

Pros: central location, close to the beach, friendly and helpful people, good food

Cons: the resort is a little bit run down, in my opinion is not worth the money. half of the regular price would be more accurate for this 3 star resort

Pros: I loved the restaurants and the entertainment at Decameron Cartagena especially the bartender Raul . He was special to us

Pros: View

Cons: Staff has very poor costumer service skills

Pros: The location is pretty good: by the sea and in town. We can enjoy a variety of food all the time: from early morning till late afternoon. The premises are quite satisfactory

Cons: Nothing

Cons: Pool has to be cleaned

Pros: The view, the pool the staff! All amazing

Pros: Hotel located in the very center of the old town so you can easily reach any historical attraction walking. At the breakfast apart from usual options you can find in any European hotel there is very tasty local food and a lot of fruits. Everything is super fresh. In the bar you can order coctails which are maybe the best I've ever tried. And the personnel is very nice. They helped us a lot during the stay, recommended places to go, gave us late check-out, and really helped when we were leaving to another place in Colombia and had problems with bus tickets. Fantastic staff of NH hotel is one of my best memories in Colombia.

Pros: The service of all the NH staff was perfect. They have done their best to satisfy all our requests. We have given them feedback and they were acting promptly on it improving our stay and making us feeling at ease with the staff. - Welcoming, nice and professional - Good food and service for the breakfast. - Amazing toilets & showers. - Great view on "Torre del Reloj" and the port behind. - Amazing pool on top of the hotel.

Cons: The hotel could improve the status of some of the rooms that have a view on the street next to the hotel (& not on the Torre del Reloj). Those rooms are a bit noisy in the night and are not in the best conditions. The walls and some of the furniture is a bit old. Overall, amazing experience!

Pros: The rooftop pool has an amazing view, rooms are spacious, location couldn’t be better.

Pros: Central location

Cons: My room was supposed to be “with view” but the view was the building next to the hotel.
