Great location and rooms
Pros:

The hotel is super cozy. Our rooms were huge and very confortable on the 3rd floor. The beds feel more like a home bed rather than a hotel bed, so we slept beautifully during our stay! The location is 10/10, right in the center, but not noisy at all.
Breakfast is not a buffet, so it is very limited, but the food is great!
Just bear in mind that there are no elevators in the hotel.

Muchos Gracias!
Pros:

We were very happy with our stay and highly recommend this lovely hotel. It was a quiet, cool, oasis in the old, walled city within easy walking distance of major tourist highlights including the fort and the playas. Our rooms were clean, the AC and shower worked well, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We would particularly like to thank Sergio and his teammates at the front desk who always had helpful answers to our questions, and Erica who was so kind and friendly and served us such delicious breakfasts and indulged our passion for maracuya jugo during the day. Thank you for a wonderful introduction to your beautiful country!

Pleasant stay in Cartagena, Colombia
Pros:

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Kartaxa in Cartagena de las Indias. The location was convenient to shopping and restaurants. Breakfast was provided every morning and was delicious! Erika served us daily and she was the most kind and knowledgeable about the menu. We made true friends across the sea. Also, she is a gifted coffee artist. She made our morning breakfast so pleasant.
Our room was always spotless and cool, providing respite from the heat and humidity.
The front desk attendants were also extremely helpful. They answered all our questions and hailed cabs when we were in need.
We would stay here again if in Cartagena.

Highly recommended
Pros:

It was a very clean room, the breakfast and coffee (which is included) was delicious, excellent location as I was attending a conference near Santa Clara. The hotel is close to a School so there can be some noise early in the morning , staff is friendly

Pros:

5 stars!
Our stay at Kartaxa was absolutely amazing! The hotel is spotless, the breakfast was delicious, and the overall vibe was warm and welcoming. Carlos went above and beyond to make our celebration special—he even surprised us with a birthday song and cake! Jennifer and Rosy are two of the sweetest and most helpful ladies you’ll ever meet, and Ronner ensured everything ran smoothly. The entire staff was incredibly friendly. Kartaxa is truly a 10/10 experience!

Room with no window
Pros:

I was only here for one night before flying out early the next morning. The hotel location is spectacular. However my room didn’t have a window and was very basic. The bathroom was small and the AC blasts on the bed all night.
