My stay at the hotel was a mix of great experiences and some letdowns. The spacious and well-appointed rooms felt a bit humid at times, but the rooftop drinks, food, and service, accompanied by stunning panoramic views of Cartagena, were truly exceptional. However, the service was a bit hit-or-miss, with some staff being wonderful while others lacked politeness.

7.8/10

For a pricey stay, the hotel offers rooms that are a bit small for the cost, with some overlooking the lobby. On the plus side, the service was exceptional, assisting us with reservations and organizing our trips. The location in the heart of Cartagena's old city is excellent, making it easy to explore the area on foot. The dining experience far exceeded expectations with a lavish breakfast spread. However, the room assigned to me felt more like a storage closet with a view of the elevator shaft.

Rooms

5.0

The room I stayed in was on the first floor and looked out onto the lobby of the hotel. I expected more for the price I paid, nearly $1,000.00 per night, especially considering it was meant for socializing with my guests. It felt more like a storage closet with its view of the elevator shaft.

Service

9.0

Location

The hotel's central location in Cartagena's old city is a major plus. It's situated in a prime region, making it easy to access the best restaurants and explore the historic district on foot. However, there were challenges in maintaining a constant temperature and fan speed in the room.

Dining

The dining experience at the hotel far exceeded my expectations, especially the breakfast which was exceptional with a wide variety of choices presented elegantly. It even surpassed the following week's breakfast at the Waldorf Astoria in Panama City. The Italian strata was a highlight of my stay.

Facilities

The hotel provided excellent facilities that enhanced my stay. From the amenities to the ambiance, everything was top-notch. However, I find it hard to accept that rooms lacked optimal views considering the high price paid.
