Hotel Kartaxa has good qualities
The Hotel Kartaxa in Cartagena is a charming boutique hotel that offers a blend of historical charm and modern comfort What I liked most about it was: 1) location -it’s situated in the old city, close to historic sites, restaurants, events, nightlife, but also accessible to beaches and other trips. Its closeness to Plaza de San Diego is a must 2) Comfortable and quite accommodations with nice amenities 3) Beautiful infrastructure, located in a refurbished historical building with a primer retreats as library, swimming pool and solarium 4) Excellent service and friendly staff 5) Good cost benefit

My favorite hotel in Cartagena!
Its a very cute hotel on a very peaceful street but half block to the Bovedas, traditional artcraft market and the city walk which you can walk on top around them. Very clean, professional staff, they will help you with anything they can. There breakfast is a la carte and is included, excelent.

Gostei da vista da janela para o mar, tamanho do apartamento. Não gostei do terceiro andar sem elevador, do café da manhã pobre, pagamos diaria com cafe da manhã incluido e ainda tivemos pagamento extra por ovos cozidos.

It's quit cozy cleaned hotel with polite stuff, but when we called asking recommendation for transportation from airport to hotel, they send the car and charged 100 000 pesos and it was ridiculous because taxi cost 25000 everywhere. on a way back I payed 25000 pesos for taxi So don't ask hotel reception about transport.

Great spot in Old City
The staff was great and so was the breakfast. The location is convenient but just outside the center enough to be quiet. Access to purified and chilled water was huge. No wasted plastic bottles.

Great location!
Greatly located in the Centro Histórico & near Serrezuela shopping mall. Nice breakfast included, attentive staff. It has a tiny pool, good enough for the heat though.

We loved our stay at Hotel Kartaxa. It is just on the outskirts of the noise in San Diego plaza but it is also just a quick walk to the plaza. The hotel staff was friendly and accommodating. They arrange anything you need such as taxis and day trips. Breakfast was delicious and not just toast and bagels, real breakfast. We will definitely return to Cartagena and when we do, we will stay here. Gracias to the entire staff for making our stay there perfect !!!!!

The driver we booked thru the hotel did not show at the airport, later claimed he waited for us 45 mins. We had paid for 2 beds in each room, but one had a queen bed - they couldnt resolve it until the nexg day. Our air conditioning didnt work and they were hesitant to help. Finally they brought up a new remote which resolved the issue. The breakfast staff was wonderful althouhh options were very limited.

Boutique hotel situated perfectly inside the Old City. Some of the hottest restaurants, coffee shops, and clothing store located a minute walk from the hotel but it's quiet at night. Love the breakfast options as well and the staff service was superb!
