    rooftop pools
    great location
    lack of room lights

    Had a decent stay for my birthday—staff were friendly, and the rooftop pools were fabulous for a splash and a sunset! Also, the location was spot on for exploring.

    But seriously, they turned off the lights in my room. it was like living in a cave! I guess I should've packed a glow stick or two.

    This is what stood out

    The vibrant atmosphere and excellent location were the highlights of my stay. The friendly staff made me feel at home, and the rooftop views are definitely a must-see. While the room was a bit cramped, the comfortable beds and great amenities, including a pool and bar, made it worth it.

    Target audience solo thrill-seeker

    The rooftop pool was incredible and rarely crowded! The view at sunset was something out of a dream, just breathtaking. I even got upgraded to a private room which was way better than I expected.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap but I guess you get what you pay for.

    rooftop bar
    friendly staff
    smelly room
    noisy corridor

    Ohlala Bistrot was a bomb for breakfast—get their fresh baguettes! The rooftop bar vibe is chill, perfect for sunset sipping. Plus, the staff was super friendly, making my stay cozy.

    The room was a hot mess—smelly, humid, and noisy! My ‘window’ was just an opening to the corridor, so I heard every late-night chat and party. With better options in Cartagena, I’d keep exploring.

    ideal location
    nice ambiance
    noisy surroundings
    limited lounge chairs

    The ambiance was nice, and the location near the walled city was ideal. Some staff were lovely, but noise from the nearby club made it hard to sleep. The rooftop pool was pleasant, though not enough lounge chairs were available. Overall, it had its ups and downs.

    big room
    clean room
    rooftop terrace
    small room
    no window

    We got a free upgrade, so the room was huge and super clean! Loved that it was spacious. The rooftop was a nice touch too. But honestly, I heard some reviews about other standard rooms being pretty cramped and even with no windows, which sounds rough. Glad I didn't experience that. You’ll probably want to double-check your room type if claustrophobic!
