Right in the heart of the old town.
Decent size rooms with good size balcony, bathrooms in need of updating, low water pressure in shower, no cold water in the sink.
Most staff are attentive & polite with the exception of Ingrid at breakfast - who could improve her attitude when customers order items not included in the standard breakfast. Otherwise, good overall experience.

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!

The lush gardens & huge pool were a joy. The rooftop bar overlooking the water was a great place to relax with a cocktail before dinner.
The spa was very relaxing.

The overall service is good, but the price/what you get relationship is not worth it. The hotel price tag is for 5 star luxury hotel… in this case the towels, amenities are not of one. The service is good but many of the employees said they weren’t paid extra hours so if the bar closes at 12 they stop service at 11. The staff is friendly and helpful. The hotel is located in a convenient place, walkable from any point of the walled city. The offer at the pool is very limited (not good). For being a Sofitel and a luxury hotel, lacks the magic of being at a good hotel. I think the savings they are implementing are not worth it.

Best hotel in Cartagena! Right in the heart of the walled city . Walking distance to restaurants, bars, coffee shops and markets. Rooms were very clean and spacious. Pool area was very nice. The restaurants were also very good. Breakfast buffet served traditional Colombian food along with variety of meats, eggs and pastries. Lunch and dinner also had good options. The drinks were good. Attended a wedding there which was a great venue and time for all of the guests. Staff was friendly. Highly recommend!
