Terrible experience … Noisy!
Pros:

The hotel was clean and the staff were kind

Cons:

NOISE!!!!
Noise from their machinery ran most of the day. It was like staying in an airplane wind tunnel. Extremely loud. THEN … in the evening the restaurant Nextdoor placed electronic music till after 3 in the morning that vibrated against our walls. We stayed 3 nights and I may have gotten an average of 3 hours sleep a night

Ótima localização e funcionários atenciosos
Pros:

Localização muito boa pois é perto de tudo.
Funcionários muito educados e sempre solícitos.
Quarto muito confortável.
Café da manhã espetacular!

Cons:

O hotel está próximo de uma área muito movimentada e barulhenta a noite. Eles fizeram o máximo para isolar os quartos, porém ainda é possível ouvir a música de fora. Um protetor auricular foi suficiente, mas pessoas com sono leve podem se incomodar.

Amazing stay.
Pros:

Good location, clean and the staff was very helpful and supportive.

Cons:

The streets in Cartagena are usually noisy, however the noise stops around 2 or 3am. The rooms with balcony could get some the Cartagena’s noise.

Pros:

The staff beyond a doubt was essential to my enjoyment of Cartagena. More than happy to engage with me in Spanish as Im still learning and I went up a level because of it.

Room service and breakfast were impeccable as well. Very nice people.

Cons:

Nothing that anybody has control over. Simply the nature of old buildings. So ZERO COMPLAINTS.
