Good location. Unfortunately no staff on site.
Pros:

Clean, comfortable, spacious. The duplex was silent.

Cons:

There is no staff on site, you have to communicate via a robot with camera and via chat. Very basic breakfast. Duplex room has no windows.

Pros:

La atención 24h, las instalaciones tan céntricas y bien ubicadas, pero sobre todo los desayunos!!! Un hotel boutique en el centro de la ciudad pero alejado del jaleo, perfecto para desconectar.

Pros:

Situato in una zona perfetta: pieno centro e con la possibilità di raggiungere a piedi tutto compreso il quartiere Getsemani.
Nonostante questo la stanza era silenziosissima. La struttura è molto bella e la camera grande e nuova. C'è il condizionatore, il bagno è molto grande e la colazione, servita in camera, è molto buona. Consigliatissimo

Great location, breakfast arrangement could be improved.
Pros:

The location is excellent, in the walled city on a charming quiet street on the road right next to Plaza de Santo Domingo.

Cons:

There was no dining area for the free simple breakfast provided. We were told that we could eat in the room however there was not coffee table next to the sofa so it wasn't the most comfortable.

Noche sin ventilador ni aire acondicionado
Pros:

En realidad es muy extraño es muy oscuro y como con una vibra extraña

Cons:

Desde que hicimos el check in al llegar a la habitación el candado presentaba algunas fallas para cerrarlo y lo más grande es que el aire estaba goteando agua y la cama se había mojado no solo la sábana el colchón también, la chica de la recepción muy amable nos ayudó a cambiar sábanas, secar, mover la cama quedando muy cerca a a baranda y un da el vacío al primer piso, se apagó el aire y dejó de gotear, en la noche cuando regresamos y encendimos el aire y nuevamente goteó por lo tanto tuvimos que dormir sin aire y pues Cartagena sin aire acondicionado ni ventilador es bastante calor, no fue una noche en la que se haya descansado la verdad eso fue lo más incómodo creo que por el tipo de habitación con la a escaleras que pueden ser peligrosas

Pros:

Las instalaciones son muy lindas, muy lograda la estética y la ubicación inmejorable.

Cons:

El hecho de que no haya personal continuamente en el hoteles trae dificultades frente a las cosas que no funcionan (la cafetera, por ejemplo o solicitar agua caliente para el mate).

Pros:

La ubicación, a pasos de la plaza Santo Domingo, el diseño del hotek y habitaciones es excelente. Que te dejaran el desayuno en la puerta del cuarto a la hora señalada.

Cons:

Estaría increible si tuvieran una terraza para el desayuno

Allez y maximum 2j max max max
Pros:

L’emplacement est bien

Cons:

Le ménage ! Je devait demander à chaque fois pour changer les draps du lit ! Et elle me changer uniquement le draps ! Pas le draps de couette ni ceux des oreillers ! J’ai fait tomber une canette de bière mon premier jour elle n’a jamais nettoyé à mon départ c’était toujours coller au sol, les petit déjeuner ne sont pas bon et c’est les même tout les jours et il faut les commander 1 jours avant. Lors de mon départ j’ai oublier ma veste dans le placard et lorsque je suis revenue pour la récupérer à la réception la dame de ménage a dit à la réception qu’il n’y avait rien pour la garder pour elle ! Puis au bout de 3 tentatives elle l’a sortie de l’arrière salle !
