Schönes Boutique-Hotel zentral gelegen mit kleinen Abstrichen
Pros:

Das Hotel ist sehr zentral in der historischen Altstadt gelegen und hat auch grundsätzlich einen gewissen Charme.
Die Zimmer (3. Stock - zwei Superior Zimmer, eine Suite) waren allesamt sehr schön und gut ausgestattet.
Das Hotel wird durchgängig bewacht und man fühlt sich dadurch nochmals ein klein wenig sicherer.
Die SPA-Anwendung (Massage) war hervorragend, das hatte ergotherapeutisches Niveau.
Der Pool ist klein (Innenhof im Schatten), erfüllt aber seinen Zweck, inklusive der Bar direkt am Pool.
Auf der Dachterrasse ist nochmals ein Whirlpool mit ein paar Liegen.

Cons:

Das Personal ist freundlich, allerdings an der Rezeption etwas umständlich und nicht wirklich 'auf Zack' (auch sprechen nicht alle englisch).
Teilweise nachts deutlich hörbare Musik vom Nachbarhaus, also bitte Ohr-Stöpsel parat haben.
Das Frühstück ist gut, aber auch wahrlich nicht überragend (teilweise mit Extra-Kosten).
Es gab Baustellen im Haus, die erst nach mehrmaligen Nachfragen beseitigt wurden (z.B. war der Pool einen Tag gesperrt).
Alles in allem nichts wildes, aber ganz so euphorisch wie erwartet ist es dann leider nicht gewesen.

Pros:

Breakfast was good. Selection was not too extensive, but included some good a la carte options. Loved the tropical fruit juices. Room was spacious and comfortable.

Cons:

General upkeep of the property was not as expected. Bathroom in the room and some of the public areas are in obvious need of a refresh.

Pros:

Wonderful ambiance, location, cool outdoor pool, comfy room, staff very friendly, breakfast very tasty. There was really nothing we didn’t like.

Cons:

The only thing I could think of is the loud disco music by the pool. When we were the only people there, we had them turn it off.

Excellent staff, room, pool, roof terrace. An amazing stay.
Pros:

We stayed 5 nights and had a really lovely time. It was too hot for us and we did not make the planned visits to Rosario/Baros. We felt the day trips were too long. So we got up early and walked around the city meeting local people setting off to work. Everyone was kind and friendly. Then we spent most of the day in the hotel, reading/chilling. It was like living in a warm, family home.
The staff are so engaging and helpful. Absolutely lovely people. We had a larger room and appreciated everything. Absolutely loved the pool. We practiced yoga and Tai Chi on the roof terrace with amazing views. Good breakfast and dinner. Very good location. We enjoyed the local coffee shop and bookshop/cafe.
I have wanted to visit Cartagena since I studied Geography A Level (some 35 years ago) and it did not disappoint. A fun, vibrant city. We are missing the heat and humidity!!

Pros:

Located on a quieter street in the walled city. Room was clean and comfortable

Cons:

Unfortunately the hotel sells day passes for the pool and during our stay the main pool was completely taken over by a bachelorette party from 11-5:30. Loud music and cringey photoshoot right outside our room
