I really enjoyed my stay at the Ethnic Thematic Hotel. The vibe is different from the typical tourist hotels—it feels cultural, colorful, and full of personality. The staff was friendly and made me feel right at home. The rooms were comfortable and had that unique local touch that makes you feel like you’re actually in Cartagena, not just passing through. The location is perfect too, close to the action but still peaceful enough to relax. If you want a stay that feels authentic and memorable, I’d definitely recommend this place.

The hotel staff are friendly. The rooms are nice and clean. From the balcony, you have a nice view of the action on the street near the clock. The locked door and camera seem to be helpful. The police are usually always in the area as well. I had a great visit and will stay again.

The hotel was close to the Clock Tower where we would meet for the tours. That made it very convenient. Our biggest issue was the noise at night and the small bathrooms.
