Pros:

Location wasn't good, was big and great air con.

Cons:

There was incessant noise. The bar next door, started early and finished late and there was a repetitive drone of what I can only assume was the air-conditioning. The pool is nice, but small and will only accommodate 2 couples.

Magnifique endroit mais n’oubliez pas les
Pros:

L’emplacement est super, l’appartement est bien équipé et le lit confortable !! Que dire de la belle piscine sur le toit et les différents aménagements pour en profiter !! Wow!

Cons:

C’est bruyant.. il est situé à côté d’un resto où joue de la musique jusqu’à la fermeture et il y a un bruit de pompe qui m’a réveillé vers 5:30 le matin.. de bons bouchons pourraient régler le tout!!

Central well furnished studio with great pool
Pros:

Well located, nice and clean, has everything you need. The rooftop pool was very nice and the staff let me use the common areas between checkout and when I had to leave for my late afternoon flight. There was occasionally hot water for the shower, which I hear is rare in the city, but it’s so hot in Cartagena, you don’t really need it.

Cons:

The studio could use a fresh coat of paint and the balcony is not the most usable. It is quite small and on a main road, so not exactly the best to sit on (and did not have any chairs). There however are other outdoor seating areas to relax at(inner courtyard and rooftop table and chairs). As many mentioned the neighbouring bar does play music loudly and quite late (11:30ish) and the walls are pretty thin.

Pros:

Todo! Las instalaciones súper bien, cómodo y todo funcionó perfecto. La piscina tiene una vista espectacular en la noche; la ubicación era perfecta cerca de bares, restorán, farmacias y locales en general pero apartada del ruido; mención especial para el personal que es muy cálido y amable y además tuvieron la amabilidad de prestar un notebook para hacer un trámite, muy buena señal de internet, estaba todo muy limpio y con un aroma delicioso a limón q nos acompaño durante toda la estancia. Lugar muy seguro, somos 2 mujeres viajando y en ningún momento sentimos miedo de caminar por el sector

Cons:

Todo fue perfecto yo soy bien delicadilla jajajja y no hubo nada que no me gustara

Goede ligging!
Pros:

Mooie locatie, dicht bij veel bezienswaardigheden.
De kamer was groot en de badkamer was goed.

Cons:

Wij sliepen in een kelderkamer waar bijna geen geluidoverlast was echter als je een andere kamer hebt en je wilt rustig kunnen slapen dan is dit niet de ideale locatie.

Goede plek maar wel naast een café
Pros:

De ligging en het zwembad

Cons:

Het lawaai van de buren maar ik dat wisten we en de prijs was hoog in vergelijking met andere accomodaties. Verder erg behulpzaam

Pros:

Das Appartment war in Ordnung, für den Preis könnte die Ausstattung besser sein (Grundausstattung in der Küche). Die Lage ist sehr zentral und fußläufig alles erreichbar. Wir hatten das Zimmer im ersten Stock, das sind meiner Meinung nach die besten Zimmer (straßenseitig - aber die Straße ist abends nicht stark befahren). Gegenüber ist die Festungsmauer und daher keine Häuserfront mehr. Eine gute und sichere Gegend, wo man auch abends zu Fuß unterwegs sein kann. Für Kolumbien ist es auch relativ ruhig. Das Swimmingpool ist klein und fein und besticht für eine Abkühlung zwischendurch - auch zum Verweilen in der heißen Mittagszeit. Ausserdem ist der Ausblick sehr nett.

Cons:

Wir hatten echte Probleme mit der Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber. unsere Anreise verzögerte sich unverschuldet massiv und wir kamen erst kurz nach Mitternacht an. ich bekam aber nie eine Antwort vom Gastgeber wie ich in das Haus so spät reinkomme. Gott sei dank machte uns dann noch jemand auf. Wir bekamen die Chipkarte für die Eingangstüre und das wars - nie wieder einen Gastgeber gesehen, für das Check out ließen wir die Chipkarte im Zimmer weil mit uns niemand per mail oder persönlich kommunzierte. Das fanden wir sehr eigenartig - ist uns auf unserer 3-wöchigen Reise so nie passiert.

Nice stay
Pros:

Great location looking at the walls and the castle. Easy walk to all the main attractions. . Pool is small, but lovely. Spacious room with lots of room for luggage. Hot water!

Cons:

Didn't like the glass doors in shower and toilet. The one in the toilet was very difficult to close. I was unable. I booked a room with a balcony so we could sit out, but there are no chairs. Although it was lovely chilling on the roof. Some tea bags and coffee would be nice.
