La atención es amena
Durante mi estancia no funcionó la televisión y no había cable ni internet en la TV durante los tres dias de estadía
Cama, ar condicionado.. enfim, bem confortável. Funcionários muito gentis
gostei de tudo.
De prachtige koloniale stijl en plek van het hotel De ruime kamer. Airco en ventilator Compacte badkamer maar compleet Basic ontbijt maar voldoende Behulpzaam personeel
Het kleine bed en bewegen van matras Voor 1 nacht niet zo'n probleem
Servicio de limpieza, privado, desayunos muy ricos.
Que la piscina no tenía una pérgola o un techo para evitar el fuerte sol de Cartagena
Muy céntrico a un paso de todo
Muy sencilla y sin ventana exterior
. La cama aunque los baños están dentro de la habitación abierto el techo y sin ventilacion.
1 muy desagradable la persona que nos recibió. 2 nos cobraron un impuesto . 2 no nos ayudaron con las maletas el ascensor dañado. El desayuno regular . Y nos robaron justo en la esquina del hotel
El hotel está bien ubicado.
Las habitaciones son pequeñas y se ven algo descuidadas.
J’ai eu des travaux sous la fenêtre les 2 premier jours et pas de gestes commercial
La ubicación . El desayuno. El hotel la terraza todo muy cuidado. El Hoyel está estratégicamente bien ubicado para conocer el ambiente nocturno de Cartagena. Cerca del muelle.
Para mí está todo súper bien. Volvería. Las habitaciones más económicas son muy chiquitas.
La ubicación genial. El hotel es precioso.
Por decir algo, la ducha no tiene nada de presión. Un poco regulara.
Localização e atendimento
Cama e café da manhã
The location
Honestly it wasnt that clean guess the rustic look gave it another appearance!!!
petit déjeuner très correct. l'emplacement est idéal. Un personnel disponible, très dévoué, efficace, compétent et d'une grande gentillesse. L'hôtel est propre.
Notre chambre etait un petit peu petite. Il manquerait de quoi poser les valises si vous avez 2 valises (ou deux gros sacs à dos). Il manquerait également une chaise. La penderie était petite pour deux personnes.
Buena ubicación. Desayuno correcto
El desayuno podría tener más variedad
La decoración y la terraza con vista a San Felipe. El personal y la ubicación.
Desayuno Atención del personal, nos ayudaron con el cambio de habitación por el ruido.
La ubicación, lugar peligroso, fuimos asaltados a la vuelta. Ruido de la calle
Malé a nepohodlné velmi měkké postele.. hotel inzerujete parkování ale je nutno si zajistit parkování někde v okolí a to je jen na placených parkovištích další kapitola je bazén tedy spíše větší vana - neodpovídá fotkám a navíc ve vodě plavaly dlouhé vlasy, lehátka jen 2 bez polštářů a sedačky na terase také jen konstrukce bez polštářů.. Snídaně je velmi průměrná Rozhodně nic neodpovídá inzerovanému ani 4⭐️ cena neodpovídá kvalitě nabízeného
A great hotel just on the edge of Getsemani, perfect as it's quiet but just close enough to access all of the bars, shops and restaurants in a short walk. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff were helpful. There is hot water in the shower (for those that don't know not every hotel/apartment in Cartagena has hot water)
Location was strategically well placed to walk around hystorical places (walled city and San Felipe castle)
The breakfast can have more options, if you’re a colombian citizen but you are another country resident who doesn’t do taxes in Colombia, make sure you are patient enough to discuss with the counter represantive acout the tax deduction (1 - 2 hrs) and have your tax declaration with you
Très bel hôtel, personne très sympathique. Situation idéale. Climatisation efficace et chambre propre.
Localização boa no Getsemani, do lado da parte amuralhada, podendo fazer tudo a pé. Instalações confortáveis e ambiente acolhedor, bonita decoração colonial. Pequena piscina e jacuzzi no rooftop bem agradável. Café da manhã bom. Boa limpeza.
Atendimento seco e frio da recepção. Pouca disposição para informações requisitadas. A questão que me incomodou muito foi o preço cobrado da estadia que divergiu bastante do que informava o site da booking. Foi o único hotel que aconteceu isso até hoje. Mesmo questionando disseram que era por conta do câmbio do dia, que mesmo assim divergia do câmbio oficial do dia.
Some of the staff were nice and helpful, others less, but none were terrible. The hotel is small, but well kept.
Location. There are way better locations as this is on the limit of the walled city and does not feel very safe and is very dirty. Really a shame... One of the people in our group had their necklace yanked right off their neck by someone on a motorcycle about 100 feet from the hotel. When we went walking to the walled city and the historic center, there were much prettier areas that felt a lot safer and were more pleasant.
I read lots of complaints, but we booked a superior room, with king size bed, soundproof windows, nice bathroom and comfortable space. It was 100 %. Breakfast very good and perfect location, close to restaurants, cafes, supermarket, shopping centers, etc.
Lack of hygienic douche (as in all hotels in Colombia).
Konumu harika,odalar temiz;kahvaltı doyurucu
Herşey güzel
L’emplacement est tout à fait optimal au cœur de Getsemanie sans les nuisances sonores inhérentes au quartier. L’hôtel lui même est très agréable et le personnel de service du petit dejeuner très aimable.
Le personnel à la réception pas très engageants
Lo tranquilo del sitio
El baño de la habitación
Professional receptionist, NOT the management.
I booked two nights in this hotel. I requested a change of the dates through booking.com, and the price was less this time. I messaged them and they suggested to have a private chat by WhatsApp. They never approved the change of dates on Booking, only by WhatsApp, telling me that the price will be the original one and not what Booking.com was showing. The receptionist was very nice and professional, I asked please to ask for clarification and they called Kiara. She told me that she was too busy to speak on the phone she was eating at 8pm. No attempt of communication was done. After trying to explain my concerns she did non stop interrupting, politely asked her to please explain all at once until she called me rude and claiming that I don't need any kind of clarification: " this is how it was no matter what was showing in the website" ( I had screenshots). "Así son las cosas, maleducado ". The lack of professionalism, service customer, communication and leadership goes above any limits with Kiara. The abuse of power she shows when dealing with their guest is ridiculous. I will never go back to this place, what a awful experience. Facilities are ridiculous, nice picture with a wide angle of the pool, no more than 4 people can get in at once. Plugs not working. Hair dryer not working. Breakfast was "ok" and the cooks were nice too.
The location is excellent, you can walk to go to the best restaurants
The sandwich that they have for breakfast
Fast check in and staff super nice
Excelente las instalaciones
Such a cute property and well maintained. Everyone was very nice and helpful. Location is amazing!
Was a wonderful place
La ubicación muy buena cerca del centro con vistas al castillo de San Felipe.
not good
Amazing room, amazing staff, great location. I was a solo traveler from the US and had a great experience!
Otimo custo benefício!
La buena ubicacion, no hay ruido cercano y se puede descansar. Esta cerca de muchos lugares turisticos para no desplazarte en transporte. El desayuno delicioso.
Me cobraron extra una bebida que no abri , las instalaciones son muy pequeñas.
"I had a very pleasant stay and was impressed with the hotel's architecture, cleanliness, and decoration. The beds were comfortable, and I appreciated the modern amenities like the TV with cable and the reliable internet connection. I believe a few minor adjustments would greatly enhance the guest experience. It would be helpful to have the option for early check-in, and I found that the water pressure in the shower could be improved. Additionally, providing a microwave in the room or offering guests access to the kitchen at all times would be a convenient feature. Also, ensuring the mini-bar is consistently refilled would be a welcome service. Lastly, a more flexible policy on visitors who are not staying overnight would be appreciated, as it felt restrictive to be charged for a guest who was only visiting for a short time.
Cancele el hospedaje y aun así me querían cobrar la tarifa completa.
Tiene una serie de requisitos ridículos, poco falto para que me pidieran el RH
la pulizia
la posizione è comoda ma è ai margini del quartiere Getsemani, ci sono molte altre strutture più centrali nello stesso quartiere; appena arrivati fanno firmare un modulo con condizioni prestabilite dall'hotel mai rese note al cliente al momento della prenotazione; tra queste condizioni vi è quella secondo cui per ogni ingresso di un non ospite (amici, fidanzati etc) anche solo per stare in piscina un'ora senza entrare in camera applicano una penale di 150.000 pesos colombiani per ogni singolo ingresso; naturalmente l'esistenza della penale (che incide notevolmente sul costo del soggiorno) non è mai comunicata prima del check in; colazione da una stella, scarsissima per qualità e quantità, con prodotti di bassa qualità, pochissima scelta ( tre piatti a base di uova o toast) , caffè annacquato, orario scomodo dalle 7,00 alle 9,30; piscina minuscola e spesso idromassaggio non funzionante; di notte porta chiusa e bisogna bussare manualmente per farsi aprire dal receptionist di turno
Not the best stay I’ve had in Cartagena but the cheapest
Well positioned hotel with great facilities. Breakfast was excellent
Algunos recepcionistas eran gentiles. La ubicación es muy céntrica, el edificio es pintoresco y tiene detalles llamativos y la niña que prepara los desayunos es demasiado amable.
La habitación que nos dieron daba a la esquina y las aberturas eran antiguas y de madera entonces era lo mismo que dormir en la calle llena de ruido. La 2da era menos silenciosa pero estaba la cama llena de hormigas. El desayuno no es tipo americano. No me merece la calificación de 4 estrellas.
Posizione
Grandezza camera.. breakfast..
Está muy bien ubicado y la decoración está bien
Es increíble que pida una cesta de basura y me digan que no tienen. Los jabones de mala calidad , la habitación muy pequeña y el baño no es aislado. El desayuno no es muy variado y no es típico costeño. Nos dijeron que íbamos a tener caremañolas o arepa de huevos y nunca hubo , estuvimos 5 días
This property Breakfast Getsamani Hotel was good. Fresh fruit was served every morning. The
Es muy bonito y colonial
La piscina no es lo que me esperaba
Everything went perfect, staff was very nice, Everything was close. Loved Everything!!
Clean rooms , AC , everyone was so nice and helpful .
It had the most comfortable bed that it felt like you were sleeping on a cloud . The staff was super friendly and they deserve a raise ! Excellent location !!
Great location, friendly staff. Very very soft bed, which for me, especially paired with the very warm weather, was quite uncomfortable.
I recently stayed at this hotel for two nights. While the property itself has a beautiful aesthetic and the morning breakfast was enjoyable, the overall experience left much to be desired. The room felt more like a basic motel than a hotel, and the number of mosquitos inside made it difficult to relax or get a good night’s sleep. I’m glad I only booked a short stay. With some improvements to the rooms and pest control, this could be a much better experience considering how lovely the common areas are.
Buena atención Bien ubicado Buen desayuno
Smallest swimming pool I've ever seen
Excellent
Traveled alone. 4 days, 3 nights. Beautiful courtyard and centralized location. Very nice rooftop!! Staff- EXCELLENT!
Great location
I like this property, and I have stayed her before and everytime they always treated me pretty well.
Had a great time at the hotel. Literally down the street from all the restaurants and shops in the area. 10 min walk to San Felipe fort. Front desk staff was pleasant and spoke both English and Spanish. Also the complimentary breakfast was made to order. Definitely a great deal
Wonderful place to stay with a delicious, made to order breakfast convenient to the vibrant Getsemani neighborhood.
It is well located safe and close to old town. Staff is so helpful. The hotel is clean and nice. It has a colonial style. Very nice stay. Thanks.
Wi-Fi didn’t work. Tv didn’t work. Hotel was not ‘luxury’
Staff was very helpful and kind. Particularly the lady at the front desk I don’t remember her name but she is pregnant.
The location was brilliant. Getsemani is a colourful, vibrant part of the city and being on the edge the hotel was easy to find, the hotel courtyards were fabulous and peaceful, everything was in easy walking distance and the view of the castillo from the roof terrace and pool was amazing. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Bedroom were quiet and the beds really comfortable.
Good customer service
El personal del hotel es súper atento, atendieron todas nuestras solicitudes con prontitud. El desayuno es muy bueno y todos los días tienen algo nuevo. Además, María, la mesera es excelente. El hotel está súper limpio y muy bien ambientado. Utlizamos los servicios de transporte y spa. Esta cerca de Restaurantes de primera, como Celele por ejemplo y una vista maravillosa al Castillo San Felipe de Barajas y la Bahía.
We’re very to have chosen Getsemani Luxury hotel for our stay.
Area centrica cerca de varios puntos de interes caminando. Hotel con las habitaciones confortables. Lo que me falto es que tubieran cafetera.
Don't get Internet in tv cannot you tube
Hotel is beautiful, well located with our balcony facing San Felipe Fort and old City wall. Walking distance to excellent restaurants, places to see in Cartagena. Front desk staff are very nice, breakfast is excellent with wonderful staff. Our room was serviced daily. The small pool at the roof top is a very nice bonus with a beautiful view
Hotel is clean and beautiful, the breakfast Personal at dinner area are excellent and attentive, food on point at my check up information needs to be fixed and never happened in the future if I get back i will be more careful. Otherwise i recommend to anyone Hotel has access to everywhere.
Really good staff ....friendly and helpful
Possibly the most comfortable bed ever!
The bathroom was incredibly small, the soaps and shampoo were also tiny.
Everything was amazing
Close to everything, friendly staff and quiet at night.
Unfortunately, there were cockroaches in the room. While the staff was very courteous and promptly accommodated a room change, it is evident that the hotel is somewhat neglected and could benefit from better maintenance.
Great location. Friendly staff.
The location was great , very convenient. Delicious breakfast provided
O hotel é confortável e razoavelmente bem localizado - 10 minutos de caminhada do centro. Só me hospedaria novamente se estivesse sozinha no quarto, pois é super pequeno e a parede do banheiro não chega até o teto. Isso significa que você escuta aboslutamente tudo que a outra pessoa está fazendo no banheiro. A cama e o chuveiro são bons. Quarto escuro.
This property was excellent for all our needs. The only problem we had was the WiFi connection was very weak. The service, food, location, cleanliness, and price was excellent. I would definitely come back and stay here.
Très bien localisé. Endroit propre et calme. Belle terrasse sur le toit, par contre très ensoleillé durant la journée et pas de possibilité d'ombrage. Je ne suis pas certain si le transport est inclus, je croyais qu'il l'était...le chauffeur m'a demandé de l'argent une fois à l'aéroport. Vérifier avant...
Todo estuvo magnifico, pero el desayuno es mu6 limitado en opciones, no en porciones. Pero siempre hay huevos. La zona no me pareció muy segura, había demasiadas motos afuera con gente haciendo escandalo. No es una zona tranquila. Me sentí insegura apenas saliendo del hotel. Las instalaciones son bellas.
The staff is fantastic and the hotel is gorgeous. We were staying at the islands before coming back to stay in Cartagena. They were gracious enough to hold our extra luggage overnight. The breakfast was delicious and the rooftop was wonderful to sit and admire the city. Even though we were facing a busy roundabout, it was quiet at night. The beds are very soft but I usually find the beds to be too firm for my comfort, so I slept great. I recommend staying here and am looking forward to returning.
