Hotels near Plaza de los Estudiantes, Cartagena

The staff that attends this hotel knows precisely how to take good care of a guest. They are always willing to help and provide comfort and convenience to the guest, especially Daniela at the reception who was very attentive an her attitude of service is her best ally. Congratulations. On the other hand, the location of the Hotel and its cleanliness are two additional positive factors that favor preference for this Hotel. I will gladly return to this Hotel and highly recommend it.

Excellent service. staff working there is very friendly and service. food is very good, the menu is varied and healthy. The hotel is very well located, allowing you to visit and know different sites nearby, including the beach.

A great congrats to the Interconti in Cartagena ! My whole 22 people family spent 10 days in the hotel ! Everyone was amazing (specially the bar, restaurant and Pool ) they were lovely ! The chef came few times to ask my mum (who is unable to eat many things due to her health ) and discussed with her her food and always came out with something amazing ! Erika in the restaurant was friendly and always had suggestions on the menu ! Beside Ricardo !

Taxis, right at the door and shopping centre in the same buiding ! We r definitely coming back ! Thank you for such great holidays

The beds were like falling in clouds and the room was always immaculately clean 😁 the decor in the lobby was well thought about. But my favourite part was the staff they were sooo nice and engaging, nobody seemed like they were not enjoying work and they were very courteous and willing to assist at anytime. Big shout out to my favourite bar tender Luis from the lobby Angél from the Roof top bar, Leslie our lifeguard, Camilla one of our servers Daniella and Oneyeda from Reception and the ever so kind housing keeping staff and the the General Maanger Jacqueline. Shout out to Johnathan and Kenin and Mateo. You all made us Jamaicans who are hard to please very welcomed keep up the good work. The only thing I will say is that breakfast needs to be a bit more diverse as it was the same thing everyday that can get boring. P.S these guys need better pay for the service they Provide.

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!

Our stay was basically to have a nice bed to get good rest (My child had a sport competition in the city). This is a very basic hotel. Rooms are really small. With a double bed and an auxiliary bed, you barely have space to move. So, if you suffer from claustrofobia, this is not the hotel for you. Also, windown are not good to isolate noise from the street, even for us staying at floor 12th. Food is average to bad. Had dinner on our first night and it was not pleasant. Pasta is terrible (Is kind of hard to mess up a pasta plate) and I had a very salty, dry sandwich. Breakfast is limited, with the usual scrambled eggs, bread, fruits, cereal and 1 local food choice. If you are in a hurry, and only need a place to crash overnight, this hotel may be ok. For other type of stay, I wont recommend it.

Had a great stay at this hotel. On the seafront. We had a view of the sea from our room. Our room was quite noisy as the road is in front of the hotel but I use ear plugs so wasn’t an issue. The restaurant is lovely and the good was delicious, plentiful and reasonably priced. Breakfast is a good selection and there is a pool on the top floor. Great to view the sunsets. Easy access to the walled city. The staff are lovely and friendly. The room was spacious and cleaned daily.

Location: City Center (Old Town Cartagena) is 15 min- 25 min away depending on traffic. If you don't care about seeing old town, then this may be ok. The hotel is located at La Boquilla next to a bad neighborhood, so be aware of people harassing you at the beach at all times, and keep an eye on your belongings. When you leave the hotel always walk to the right towards the city, don't go left or you may find yourself in a very bad location really fast. This is a special note to women traveling to Colombia. Hotel: Clean, food is ok not great, staff was friendly except for the people at the front desk. They seemed to be always busy, and behind their daily duties, so they will rush you, and not give you proper attention, they need at least another person at the front desk at peak hours. Pool is ok, service at the pool was good. They will ask you to provide a pass to get a towel, so don't loose the pass or the towel, you may get charged for it. (Not a fancy systems) Reminds me of hotels in Colombia back in the 80's when towels were a luxury. Beach: Biggest disappointment of the trip, water is dark, and the sand is gray/brown. You cannot see your feet with a foot of water on them. Note that as soon as you come out of the hotel towards the Beach there is a security guard from the Hotel at the door, part of his job is to advised you to watch your belongings, and not to buy anything from beach vendors. This gives you an idea of this beach. Forget about bringing your own umbrella or beach chair, there are vendors that have taken possession of the beach by renting umbrellas and chairs, if you don't rent from them, you will be left out to use a small portion of the beach very close to the water. My advised is to pay the $5 dollars and rent from them. Beach vendor will harass you all day long. Avoid buying food and always ask prices up front before ordering drinks or anything else. There are horror stories of people paying $25 for a Coke. I don't recommend this place for families, or for single women visiting the city, much better options in Bocagrande or Old town. The place is ok for single guys or business. Hope this helps,
