The experience was a mix of both positive experiences and areas of opportunity, in the positive aspects the service provided by the staff was great, kudos to the restaurant staff as they were very welcoming and friendly with us. Reception, a couple of things to mention: We had a delay on our check-in due to the room having some issues related to the door, we were requested to wait for 15 minutes after the 15:00 check-in, and we did, after this time I had to reach back to the reception to check if the room was ready, still, had to wait for another 15 minutes. It was a total of 30 minutes out of schedule from the initial check-in due hotel's fault, we arrived with more than an hour of anticipation. There was nothing but an apology, not even a slight interest in offering compensation for the wait time, which could have been a plus in the customer service experience. On the other hand. we had several technical issues entering our room, as everytime we where off the room for a while the card wouldn't work, this was a consistent inconvenience in every single day, at the point that at our last 2 days staying at the hotel we directly reached reception to get the card fixed as we were already tired from previous days to reach the 5th floor for our room and then having to go down to reception to report the issue with the card, reach 5th floor again and AGAIN visit reception because the card wouldn't work, this could have been activelly addressed with either a room change or a technical review, however, it surprised us that instead of the receptionist offering at least an apologize we were told it was because WE used the card on another electreonic device, which never happened, another thing to point out was that at their main elevator someone popped a pimple at the elevator's mirror, and that disgusting pimple stayed there for more than 4 days, which indicates that the facility cleaning is not optimal, following this though at our room the blackout was stained at a corner, and even with having staff cleaning the room that stain remained from day 1 untill we left, probably someone spilled a drink at the balcony and it dropped at the blackout. Positive things: Restaurant service and overall attitude from the staff, ubication was good, close to the beach and with a nice view. AOO: A more customer-oriented thinking, at least showing interest in going the extra mile with their customers, cleaning.
Although it is basic, it meets all the basic expectations. Well located, easy to get around and close to the historic center and with an almost private beach. All the staff, from goalkeepers. The breakfast buffet was very good and they spoiled them by making special arepas.
Great for the price. Location was good in Bocagrande. Not far from food and the main business street. The staff were amazing everyone at reception especially Rene Morales were helpful. The only problem was the WiFi didn’t work. The beds are rustic made of bamboo. But overall an okay stay. Simple breakfast included. Overall a great place for the price and location.
L'hôtel est agréable car non loin de la plage, proche des magasins et des restaurants. Malgré qu'il soit presque plein,il n'y a pas de bruit. Les chambres sont bien isolées et l'air conditionné,les sanitaires comme la literie sont de qualité. En revanche,le wifi est moyen. Le petit déjeuner est moyen également.
Le rapport qualité prix est très bon.
The hotel was one of the best things during our trip, everything was perfect, the facilities were very nice and the staff was friendly and diligent. We will definitely return
If I could give you more than 5 stars, I would. To be honest, a generally excellent hotel.
Impeccable service, delicious food, clean and tidy facilities, comfortable rooms and in a very nice area.
The only possible improvement is WiFi coverage, but that's the smallest detail.
It was good value for money. Not hot water (neither that cold, it is caribean weather just not heated) and a bit far from the main hotspots (i use uber motorbike so for me was ok, is around 1/2$ per trip).
Good

KKarlVincentRothThis place is simply amazing. My girlfriend and I decided to stay here for the first two nights in Colombia and we couldn’t have been happier with our decision. We stayed in the Africa suite - the room was clean, beautifully decorated, and had so much charm. The bed was comfortable and all the amenities were as advertised. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The staff here is truly what deserves a stellar review. We arrived late and even before our arrival, the owner Marcus had responded to us promptly with info about checking in. When we got there - Franc (François) was waiting for us and gave us a quick and thoughtful tour of the BnB and was so kind and informative with any and every question we had. He made the trip for us. Such a wonderful human being. The next morning we had an amazing breakfast that was cooked to perfection and was greeted by their resident tortoise on the premises - such a cute lil guy, as well as Marcus who was just as welcoming and kind as he was on the phone. When we left, Roman was working and set us up with a cab to the bus station and was equally kind and helpful. I could go on - but just do yourself a favor and book this BnB. I’ll be going back the next time I come back to Cartagena - and any time after that.
GGuest UserAll rooms overlook a central courtyard, which is nice but not practical as people are always passing by so you can’t leave the window open as you get no privacy. The curtain is not a curtain but a rolling blind, so either shut or open. My room happens to be on the ground floor, where the restaurant is. It may be better on the other floors. So just artificial light.
There is also no desk in the room. Otherwise the room is decent and clean.
The breakfast is simple but good with coffees, juice some fruit and an omelette.
The place is secure and the reception have to open for you to go in and out. Location wise it’s pretty good as well as it’s within the wall but not where wll tourists hang out. Pretty safe
Check in strictly at 3pm even if the room is available 😅
GGary MerisMy stay at Ithia was very enjoyable. First time in Spain. The hotel is about 25 mins away from El Dorado Airport and check in was very smooth. My spanish is very basic but the staff was very patient and answered all of my questions. It is conveniently located right next to Museo National and within walking 15-20 mins walking
LLucio Perin ItaliaThe hotel is very comfortable and very comfortable and very comfortable . excellent staff service very available .a special applause to the director with me very patient and available .. I advise

GGuest UserThe old historic centre of Cartagena de las Indias, is very expensive thus this was an affordable option. Uber and taxis are also affordable. The breakfeast was very good. The personnel is nice and does not want to cheat you. Airconditioning is working well in this town where temperatures are around 32 degrees. Nice view from rooftop. An Arentinian friendly place in Colombia
