Pros

Multiple room types available with private patios and courtyard views

Walking distance to six restaurants within 0.5 miles

Located in the historic district known for architecture and food

Offers three breakfast menu options: continental, American, and vegetarian

Cons

4 miles distance from Rafael Núñez International Airport

Limited on-site dining options with one restaurant

“This boutique property sits in Cartagena's best-rated area, and that location is a definite plus. While some past guests mention service hiccups and minor maintenance issues that seem inconsistent with a five-star experience, the architecture and general atmosphere get high marks. The multilingual staff and available bicycle rentals add practical value for exploring the historical surroundings.”
