Pros:

Staff were welcoming and friendly, rooms were cleaned well each day.
Great location.

Cons:

The rooms are small and very little natural light inside the whole building, no space in communal areas and roof top, whilst nice, was also very small and not accessible before 9am.

Fantastic location, superb staff!
Pros:

Location, design, staff. The beds are super comfortable.
We had such a great time, we were well guided by the kind staff. I wish I could name all of the people that work there, because they are all very sweet.

Cons:

It feels a bit humid on the ground floor. Always better to book a room on the second floor if possible.

Je ne recommande pas.
Pros:

L’emplacement est intéressant et la salle de bain.

Cons:

La chambre que nous avions était collée à un bar. On se serait crus assis au comptoir. Si vous souhaitez dormir, n’y allez surtout pas ! Le personnel ne nous a meme pas prévenus et il n’y avait même pas de boules quies de prévus. Franchement pour un upgrade, c’était vraiment pas à la hauteur.

Pros:

If you want a quiet and luxury stay in the Old town of Cartagena this is the perfect stay! Hotel is brand new and nicely decorated in colonial style. Service was impeccable. We were welcomed with an Oshibori and refreshing drink. They also gave discounts to some of the best restaurants of the area.

Cons:

Nothing, this property exceeded my expectations.

Único.
Pros:

Todo! La decoración es exquisita, la ubicación maravillosa, mi habitación súper amplia, la atención única. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Cons:

No me gustó que no hay servicio de room service. Podrían tener algún servicio de cocina básico aunque sea, con algunas botanas y cócteles para el área de alberca.
