The very best was how attentive the reception staff always were. Angela and the ither girl, were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The room was spotless and very comfortable. Breakfast was simply but delicious and varied. The hotel’s location is fantastic; rooftops everywhere, restaurants, plazas, pharmacies, and shops, are all within easy reach. Love Cartagena😍😍😍. I would definitely stay there again.

A very comfortable and well-located hotel. From here, you can do almost everything in the Ciudad Amurallada on foot. The hotel is comfortable and nicely decorated. I really enjoyed my room... the bed was comfortable, the shower had a unique design, and the space was generous. The only thing I missed was a mini fridge.
The rooftop pool isn’t big, but it’s enough to cool down from the heat. There aren’t many seats protected from the sun, though. Breakfast is generous and delicious, and the ladies who prepare it are very warm and polite.
I stayed in a ground-floor room, but if you get a room upstairs, be aware that there is no elevator. The staff is kind and professional. For the price, it’s a good accommodation, and I recommend it.

I especially loved the wonderful breakfast on the roof in the morning, surrounded by flowers. I also loved the rooftop pool where you could enjoy views of the city and listen to the birds while cooling off. The building is very handsome and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Masaya never disappoints!
We were upgraded to a bigger
Room Which felt like an apartment. The challenge was getting the suitcases up the very thighs stairs but very thankfully the staff help us. The view for the pool is very nice and the breakfast very extensive.

The property felt a little dated and in need of a refresh. The staff were wonderful and accommodating. The lack of AC in the common areas and no elevator was a big negative for us.

This was a beautiful boutique hotel. Our room decor was nice and has a rustic feel. The open air shower was amazing. The pool on the roof top was perfect for a swim to try and beat the heat. Location was everything! Close to anything you may need. So many bars, restaurants, clubs, shops, street food etc. But most of all, the staff were amazing!! I can’t talk enough about how they took care of all our needs, and did it with a warm smile and fun attitude. All the staff we encountered became our friends by the end of the trip. They were the best!

Wonderful hotel! The staff were lovely. Our only complaint was it was a little loud in the room from all of the street noise (honking mostly), but there’s not much they can do about that—that’s the trade off for having a convenient location. We also recommend that if you are going to a foreign country that YOU LEARN THE LANGUAGE. At least the basics. This area only recently became a popular tourist destination for Americans, so there has not been a reason for the people here to learn English, but it’s not their job to. Very few people here speak English, so don’t come here expecting Cancun because you won’t find it. It is a beautiful country with a beautiful language that is worth exploring if you put in the time to prepare.

Went for wedding with my family of 4 (2 adults and a 17yr and 18yr)
ROOM: 11 is located on the second floor (no elevators) the room was so spacious it was prefect two separate rooms/bathrooms and even a small table. One thing is that the bed was KINDA OF hard and the sheets where thin and not big enough for two maybe if they would update to some luxury puffy comforter vs quilt would have made a big differents or even a pillow top. NO MINI refrigerator which sucked since we has no ice and now now where to store our drinks (ice was located 3 floors up which it was 68steps)
. The A/C was really cold which we loved.
Front desk all were amazing 👏 especially Yetiva best communication before the trip I was able to ask her so many questions about transportation and restaurants, via WHATSAPP.

Great little hotel in the heart of the old, walled City.
The only suggestion I would make to improve it, would be to say that the rooms need fridges!
