Cartagena Centro, 0.4 km from La Merced Square

"Location is perfect to explore the Walled City and Getsemaní. Only a 5 min walk to the harbor where dive boats pick up. The staff went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. The room with balcony was clean, comfortable and decorated super cute. Upon returning to the room after a long day, you can turn on the AC, it has a 'turbo' option and the room is comfortable almost immediately. I traveled solo but it would comfortably fit 2 people. Bathroom was very clean and there is hot water...

"Great location, great service, they just need to improve the breakfast and the elevator was very slow and not working few times."

Mood Matuna Hotel Cartagena

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very warm and inviting. We booked the suite with private pool. The view was beautiful and even though there was a lot of activity on the street, the room was quiet. We loved that the hotel was walking distance to the walled city and many restaurants and nightlife. The restaurant is under construction so we didn’t take advantage of the food services, but that did not impact our stay. We would stay here again."

"The hotel and staff were great."

Hotel Casa Don Luis by Faranda Boutique, a member of Radisson Individuals
