Top Business Hotels in Cartagena

The old 5 star hotel that stayed when I first came to CARTAGENA 10 years ago, was very impressed, especially for the courtyard layout, the swimming pool and the restaurant on the side. It arrived at around 10:00 am. It has been 28 hours flight and transfer from Beijing. It is really tired and I don’t want to wait until 3 pm (on the Intercontinental, I’ve received $50 for early check-in). The plan to stay; the front desk said that the room was ready to live, and agreed to advance the breakfast on the last day to the day, it is very rare, thank you! The front desk, restaurant and various services are very thoughtful, although the room looks old, still feel things Great value!

I had higher expectations after staying at other Ibis locations such as in Rio de Janeiro (Posto 5). We stayed in a standard room with sea view which was a nice surprise. The air conditioning in the room was very silent and efficient but the beds not very comfortable. No fridge and I was told none of the rooms have a fridge. The room was of decent size and similar in that to other Ibis of that category. The window could not be really opened. On the bright side we did not hear any noise during our stay though the other rooms around seemed occupied. The space dedicated to the food (restaurant) was unappealing at best in my view. I found the breakfast to be rather basic. Maybe due to COVID there was no self service but people were served by the staff, which at times caused quite a line to form. Overall I found the staff to be rather cold. Not rude but not very friendly. This was true when facing staff at the reception, at the ”restaurant” and in general in the hotel (including cleaning staff). Possibly I got spoiled in Medellin where practically everyone is so friendly, welcoming and helpful... even more so in hotels. Also the reception staff seemed to have to follow complicated procedures probably aggravated by slow computers systems so the check in was not exactly fast. the location of the hotel is ok. It is an easy and rather quick walk to the old city and the airport is very close (in the other direction). The beach in front of the hotel, across the road, is typical for Cartagena, nothing spectacular but again I am probably spoiled. It was quite windy the two days and a few kite surfers visibly enjoyed both the sea and the wind.

Rooms are a little tight but over all a great Hotel. The staff was extremely courteous and helpful especially one of the managers by the name of Mauricio. The hotel and pool are very well kept and it is well organized. Room service has great food and coffee. Will definitely be back.

The hotel is strategically located along the coastline, 15 minutes' walk away from the old town of the World Heritage Site. Booked a sea view room and gave it to a high floor when I checked in. The view is invincible. The hotel has three swimming pools. It is very pleasant to have a glass of wine while enjoying the scenery at sunset. The hotel has a rich breakfast, and there are many guests eating after 10 o'clock. Those who like to sleep in do not have to worry about missing breakfast time. The bathroom is very large, and the shower series are from Colombia's local organic brand, with a pleasant fragrance. Ctrip's price is very favorable, much cheaper than booking. I stayed for three nights and it was very pleasant! highly recommended!

This is a stunning property in the heart of the old town. The rooms are nice and the staff is super friendly. One factor you may want to know and we learnt the hard way is that language is a major issue in Colombia. No one really speaks English and google translate was our best friend. Even in a top notch hotel like Sofitel this may be an issue. Just something to be aware of which came as a surprise to us. Just a FYI The breakfast was fantastic. The fruit choices are exotic and amazing I do want to put in a shout ouut to Carlos Jesús, Jaison , Jose and Jorge who were our servers in our 4 wonderful days at the hotel. I would definitely come back here!!

The good: excellent location in the Plaza de las Coches and an easy walk to everything you could possibly want to see or do in Cartagena. I was there for 5 days and did not take an Uber or taxi a single time - location is just minutes away from dozens of highly rated restaurants and shops, and an eight minute walk from the up and coming Getsemani neighborhood, which was one of my favorite spots for the local art scene. Something to consider: while the location is central to everything, the plaza immediately in front of the hotel is ”THE” spot for everything. It's a gathering place for party-goers and a natural outflow for people exiting the local clubs and restaurants who still want to socialize. This means that it can be VERY loud at night and well into the early morning. These parties last until almost 5:00 AM. The front desk staff does have earplugs available for those who are bothered by the noise. I wasn't - my room had a balcony that looked over the square and it was fantastic people-watching - this was even better than being on a balcony on Bourbon Street. But the noise level may not be for everyone - if you are traveling with older folks or small children you may want to look for something a little bit further from the center of all the action in Cartagena. The best: the staff at NH were SUPERB and went all out to cater to the needs of their guests - I got to know the staff well, and the manager is a young lady named Geraldine who is very engaged and attentive - she wrote down several restaurant and museum recommendations for me when I asked her about things to do - trust me, the staff will treat you like family here.
