Pros:

La habitación compartida para 8 personas en la noche fue tranquila, la cama cómoda y el aire acondicionado funcionando muy bien.

Cons:

El desayuno se sirve a partir de las 8:00. Ese horario es muy tarde porque muchas actividades comienzan más temprano. No desayuné porque me tuve que ir. Estuve en una habitación compartida con baño afuera. Esos baños no tienen ninguna comodidad, nada para colgar la toalla o colocar la ropa. Es muy difícil vestirse así.

En general muy bonito el lugar y el servicio, pero no hay privacidad en el baño.
Pros:

El lugar es limpio y la cama es muy cómoda. El desayuno es excelente.

Cons:

No hay privacidad en el baño, incluso si te hospedas junto a tu pareja es incómodo. No dan suficientes toallas ni papel higiénico.

Hotel in middle of party center
Pros:

It's a nice and charming small Hostel with shared and private room Options ans rooftop pool. It was clean and orderly.

Cons:

Price quality it is a good deal however you just need to know what you're getting yourself into. It's in the middle of the party street in Getsamani and between Thursday to Sunday don't expect to sleep before 1am more or less. The hot water in the shower didn't work .

Haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt.
Pros:

Sehr schönes, kleines Hotel mit sehr guter Lage in Getsemani nahe dem Havana Club. Der kleine Poolbereich auf dem Rooftop ist auch nett gemacht. Das Bett war absolut hervorragend. Haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt. Preislich war's auch echt in Ordnung.

Cons:

Das Badezimmer ist leider nach oben hin offen.

Alojamiento tranquilo y con buena ubicación
Pros:

El alojamiento tiene muy buena ubicación, en pleno barrio Getsemani, muchos locales gastronómicos cerca y puntos turísticos.
Todo el hostal se ve muy nuevo, tiene una buena terraza con piscina.

Cons:

Estuve 6 días y el baño no se limpió durante mi estadía. El aire acondicionado se enciende solo de 18:00 hs a 09:00 hs, si quieres descansar o hacer siesta debe ser sin aire.

Cons:

Após minha chegada, no meu primeiro dia enquanto eu estava dormindo, pertences pessoais meus como minha carteira, dinheiro, fone de ouvidos entre outras coisas, foram furtadas de dentro de um armário com tranca, que o próprio estabelecimento oferece... Quando acordei e vi o que tinha acontecido me comuniquei diretamente com a acomodação e com o Booking.com ambos não deram nenhuma resposta concreta, além de não terem me reembolsado a estadia que já estava totalmente paga... tive que fazer uma nova reserva em outra plataforma, pois já não me sentia em paz e em segurança para continuar minha viagem lá!

Would 100% stay Casa Helena on my next visit to Cartagena!
Pros:

Location, location location! Is close to all the major points of interest in the city. Stunning views to the San Felipe Castle plus staff have another level of kindness. They were very respectful and responsive to some extra requests I made. The bed was really comfy and the breakfast felt like home-made food!
