Port de Cartagena

Hotel con excelente instalaciones, central, muy buen desayuno y variado, el bar y la alimentación de lo mejor, al frente de la playa y cerca de todo.

We stayed at Hotel Casona del Colegio from July 9–14 and overall had a wonderful stay. This charming boutique hotel is beautifully decorated with lots of character. Our room with a private balcony and hot tub was spacious and comfortable. The location is perfect—within walking distance of great restaurants, shopping, bars, and many attractions. Despite being in the heart of Cartagena, we slept very well. A few issues kept this from being a 5-star stay. I noticed two small roaches in our room and also during our last two days, there was no running water during the day, and for one full night. After spending our days on island tours, we returned hot and sandy but couldn’t shower for hours. We understand things happen, but better communication and some type of accommodation or discount would have been appreciated. Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay and would recommend the hotel for its beautiful atmosphere, comfortable rooms, and unbeatable location.

Samuel was the best service staff we have ever had. He made an effort to learn English words with us while also teaching us Spanish. He definitely made the trip even better. As for the island, it was incredible. The boat ride there and back was 1000x better than a day trip boat I took a day prior with another company. It’s breezy at night on the island which helps keeps the mosquitos away. Would definitely recommend staying at least 2 nights to be able to fully enjoy the island :)
