Top Cartagena Hotel Reviews

Osh Hotel Cartagena

10/10 Excellent

"THE best hotel! I travelled solo to Cartagena, Colombia for the first time so was naturally nervous but couldn’t have had a better stay at OSH. This hotel is a dream and even better than the photos in person - how is it only 3 star?! Location is 10/10. Staff are super friendly and welcoming, rooms are clean and comfortable, the main pool and surroundings areas are gorgeous. Rooftop pool has a nice view and great views too from the rooftop bar. Breakfast was delicious! Loved the option of the buffet and also being able to order from the delicious menu all included with the room. I didn’t get a chance to try the lunch/dinner menus but friends did and they said everything was delicious! I would absolutely stay at OSH hotel again. A gem in the heart of Getsemani."
