The women who work here were very kind and helped us out even though we did not speak any Spanish, they were very friendly and accommodating and served delicious breakfast each morning. Definitely would recommend and would stay here again if ever in Cartagena again!

I was threated with being kicked out of the hotel for reporting it ae unsafe.
Then, I was "permitted" to stay another night, but purposelyfully given townels littered with ants that have wings with my soap and other items for the day... which of course I immediately threw away and sealed the bathroom window I heard someone messing with as best as I could.
The following morning, I awoke to approximately 8 of these flying ants in my room (with 2 in my boots) so I was able to get that day refunded, but my cousin paid the following 2 day in cash without informing me so I need that back while I find an acceptable hotel.
(I've lived here 11 months and that has never happened during rain this year or 20 years ago, so that excuse doesn't cover it, or of course the towel.)

Situé sur un boulevard très passant. Endroit vétuste. Pour le prix de la chambre on peut facilement avoir quelque chose de beaucoup mieux. Ceci dit, l’hôtel est à 2min de la plage de Bocagrande.

Location doesn't compensate for condition
Run down and tired with an electrical box hanging from a wire fully exposed 1 foot off the floor. Poor accessibility to guest rooms, unpaved walkways with gravel. Reception was swelteringly hot and incredibly cramped with room for no more than 3 people. Location was ideal but I would prefer to pay an extra $30/night to stay in an international hotel with full amenities and service.

Nearby parking and nicely kept charming hotel.
This is a decent place for the price. I'd say the A/C takes a long time to cool the room, but all else was adequate. Its not like they're charging an arm and a leg.
