This hotel was absolutely perfect for our stay in Cartagena. It’s close to downtown, (where many meeting points for tours are) but it’s far enough away from the craziness so you can sleep at night. Google maps would tell us that the walk to downtown was 15-20 minutes, but it was more like a 10-15 minute walk to many places, and it felt like only 5 because there’s always so much to see on the streets of Getsemaní. The only noises at night were from cars driving by playing loud music, but once you turn your AC up, it’s loud enough that you can’t hear anything, which was perfect! The hotel is super cute: plants everywhere, very clean, and the rooms are adorable. The staff is really what makes this place a must- stay though. Leo, Eimy, Alba, and literally everyone else greeted us with smiles, helped us to call cabs, (when we were running late to a lunch reservation that was a little farther away, and to the airport) gave us good directions to things we wanted to do, they were very accommodating with an early check in, and they stored our luggage safely for us after we checked out so we could enjoy our last few hours in the city without dragging our luggage around. The free breakfast was amazing. They also have bottles of water and gatorade for sale, which was very convenient to grab a few before we left for the day’s activities. The only downside to this hotel was the lack of hot water. Cartagena is hot enough to where you definitely don’t need a hot shower, but it would have been nice to get the water a little warmer on the days where we ended up showering later at night. Overall, this really wasn’t a big deal for us, it mostly felt nice to be a little cold because the city is so hot- but definitely something to be aware of. Most older buildings in Cartagena don’t have hot water, so if this is a problem for you, you’ll need to stay in a newer building. Overall, we would highly recommend Patio de Getsemaní!
