Great hotel in Cartagena
Pros:

Great stay at Capellan! The staff were so friendly, the daily breakfast was excellent, and the location is truly perfect. Some of the city's best restaurants and its best coffee roaster are a 5-minute walk, but you're also close to the port and the old city. Nicely designed hotel with a great little rooftop.

Cons:

Holiday pricing made this hotel very expensive, but it was excellent!

Wanted to love this hotel but ultimately didn’t
Pros:

I really wanted to love this hotel. I really did!They have a stunning courtyard, some beautiful public spaces and the staff are so lovely and caring. But there were just a couple things I couldn’t get over during my 4 night stay.

I guess it’s the architectural style, but the rooms are extremely dark. Super tiny windows, no natural light, very little interior lights and it was quite hard on my elderly parents who already have poor eyesight.

Secondly, was the street noise. While you’re extremely central in Getsemani, it means you’re gonna hear the crowds, music and party buses—especially on the weekends. It eventually dies down past midnight. But bring earplugs.

Lastly is the layout of the room. We opted for the Jr Suite which has lots of space—but it’s not well used. It’s just a big open room that’s simply not functional, and they kind of plopped random furniture around. Maybe it’s meant to be “charming” but the decor and layout of my Jr Suite was different from the Jr Suite my parents were in. Also, there was no desk area in my Jr suit which made it very awkward to do work. In retrospect l, I would opt for the Superior room w/ jacuzzi instead which (although smaller) utilizes the space much better.

5 giorni ma hotel 5 stelle con servizi colazione inesistente e servizio camera con porta che non si apriva , non mi semb
Pros:

La posizione è la camera grande

Cons:

Servizi scarsi per hotel a 5 stelle la porta della camera non si poteva aprire dall’interno e ogni volta che dovevi uscire dovevo chiamare la reception a volte ho aspettato anche 10 minuti per poter uscire . Fatto presente ma non hanno sistemato camera 27 . Colazione compresa ma inesistente un tipo di marmellata solo caffè con latte e scelta un panino piccolo e immangiabile e una brioche unta e non cotta , cruda .questa la colazione hotel 5 stelle. Ho chiesto del pane dove spalmare burro e marmellata e mi hanno servito pane tostato con aglio. Non ho più fatto colazione.
