Expensive but a very nice hotel with great service
Hotel is very conveniently situated in the old city of Cartagena. It’s and old convent that has been transformed into a hotel. For Colombia it’s an extremely expensive hotel but it’s a nice experience to be pampered and well looked after. Room was nice and comfortable, although the hotel and rooms show some signs of wear and tear. So the hotel management shouldn’t forget to continue to invest in maintenance. But in summary: we had a great stay.

An absolutely incredible place to stay! The staff and facilities were beyond helpful. They remember your name. They take care of all of your needs, they constantly offer their services for you.
The food and drinks were superb.
Of course, it is in the heart of the walled city so everything is convenient!
Will definitely stay there again!
