"Excellent bargain price for a central location within the historic district. Staff are helpful and kind. The advertised earlier check-in of 6am was very beneficial with my early arrival. I opted for the single room option and although it was rather basic, it did the job of providing a comfortable and safe place to stay. Would recommend for other budget travellers."

"For some unknown reason this place was already rated "excellent" whereas there was no previous reviews. So I felt a little bit manipulated as this place without being bad was way overrated. Although the place is generally clean, it nis not maintained properly. Some stuffs need some fixing. The room I stayed in for almost 10 days had suffered water leakage in the wall which resulted in traces on the wall which has not been redone or even painted. The mattress is definitely not comfortable &...

"I stayed here 2 weeks, showers have mold building on the shower curtains, paint scuffs everywhere, you can tell they painted over mold in the showers as well. Sheets are clean but have stains on them, the roof collapsed on one of the upper bunks, thank god nobody was sleeping there. They advertised a kitchen that you can use, when we went to use it they told us it wasn’t functional, I would say the only “nice” part is staff friendliness and the rooftop (besides the kitchenette)

"Muy sucio El los baños y la apariencia.tuve que ir al podiatra porque me salio una infeccion en los pies .no recomiendoneste lugar para para nada.cero recomendacion.lo unico un poco agrada le es la piscina"
"The best hotel. The friendliest staff. I cannot wait to go back one day in the future. Cartagena was a beautiful place. But the hotel and the food was amazing. I give this property 10 stars. I loved it."
"After waiting for 20+ minutes for s cocktail, I asked the waiter if he forgot. He tokd me to calm down. I’m hopinv this was a laguage issue. None the less, it was offensive. Also, I never got the drink.
Also charging $50+ USD, essentially a cover charge, for a friend to come for lunch at the pool is absurd.
The staff in the lobby was friendly thecentire stay."
"If you are visiting Cartagena, you must stay at the Sofitel Santa Clara. The property itself is visually stunning, packed with fascinating history, and perfectly located. Our room was elegant, exceptionally clean, and featured a beautiful balcony overlooking the historic pool area. The breakfast buffet is hands down the best in Colombia, offering a massive spread of fresh tropical fruits, local pastries, and flawless service. What truly sets this hotel apart, however, is the staff—the butler and concierge teams went completely above and beyond to curate local itineraries and handle every request with grace. Highest recommendation!
Pedro in the reception area, Luis Carlos at the Restaurant went above and beyond and everybody at the hotel made our stay so perfect, we always like to comeback to Santa Clara every time we go to Cartagena!!"
