8/10 Very Good

This hotel is very old but renovated. Everyone is incredibly nice, and service is impecable. They go a long way to get to know you and help you in anyway they can, from the people at the front desk, the staff of the restaurant, everyone. We came early, but our room was ready so we were able to check in. The room was comfortable, although the bathroom could use a new renovation. The hotel has amazing spaces for kids, including a great pool and animals, such as deer and tropical birds my kid had a great time. The only downside of this hotel is that ridiculous, expensive food, although quality is good, it's not worth what it's cost even for Cartagena standards. Breakfast was amazing with a lot of options and loved that it was open up to 11 AM .

This hotel is stunning! I studied in Cartagena many years ago, and I chose to stay here because I had always dreamed of it. The architecture and gardens are absolutely beautiful. The only downside was the coffee situation. For a hotel of this caliber in Colombia, I expected coffee makers in the rooms and some good Colombian Coffee.

The staff were all friendly, nice, helpful and polite. Jose Castillo was superb and there was an older person at the restaurant tall and slim that went out of his way to please us for our breakfast. The building we stayed in was ok, however our bedroom needed to be cleaned. I walked once without my shoes and my feet were all black underneath. You can feel the dirt. The bathroom shower was dirty as well. I had to go buy sandals to be able to take a shower. One unique thing they did was that my friend was celebrating her birthday and when we came to the room they had a birthday cake for her. That was very sweet and special. I rate them with an overall 7 points, because the room we stayed in did not seemed to go with the rest of the beautiful buildings. I humbly suggest that rooms be inspected and/or the bathroom need some remodeling.
