“Centro Hotel Cartagena By Dot Tradition has an enviable spot, practically behind the Cathedral, putting guests right in the heart of Cartagena's historical district. While its historical architecture and location are undeniably appealing, reports of noise and maintenance issues give me pause. The XVI-century building has potential, but I'd hope management addresses these concerns to fully realize its charm.”
