Hotels in Barrio El Bosque - Cartagena

Positiv:: The hotel is comfortable, very clean, the restaurant is good and the staff is great. It almost a great value for money, but for the location.

Negativ:: The location. It is safe but it is not 10 minutes from the center as some reviews claim. It is more like 30. For a tourist is not very practical as getting in and out of the hotel will eat more than one hour of your day

Positiv:: I totally recommend this hotel which is 10 minutes ride by car from the center for 2 reasons. First, service is great and really great food at the restaurant. Second, great value for money in rather expensive city of Cartagena. There are some decent restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. There is also a nightclub that was deserted when I visited it. The area is pretty safe even at night.

Negativ:: The only downside is that rooms are small (not big enough for 2 persons).

Positiv:: The staff was extra helpful. Their phone line was down but they quickly responded through WhatsApp. They also assisted with directions and a taxi. Super courteous staff. One of the staff members even assisted me with my Spanish.

Negativ:: The rooftop area appeared better in pictures. In person it was unimpressive. Not well lit at night. Dare I say abandoned.

Positiv:: Very good restaurant for breakfast and dinner. Staff were wonderful - helped us find a better room no problem as the air con was loud in ours. Also got deposit back without even asking for it when we cancelled our trip to playa blanca

Negativ:: Location is quite far out but staff happy to order you taxi which costs about 10/12 mil into historical centre and takes 10mins

Positiv:: Breakfast was ok.

Negativ:: Too far from the walled city and NOT a place to walk around at night. Hotel had NO pool and non-working hot tub! Rooftop bar was NOT in service and no place to even sit.

Positiv:: The staff was very helpful with tours and translating for us getting around with the taxi drivers. Internet was good along with complementary breakfast.

Negativ:: The location was far from everything. You needed a taxi to get you everywhere.

Positiv:: The Roff

Negativ:: The customer service, the location, the rooms

Positiv:: The only two things I liked about this hotel, 1. The stuff are very polite and welcoming and always trying to be helpful. 2. The bed was really comfortable. That's it !!! But I guess, what can you expect from a place that cost 40$ a night....

Negativ:: Hi guys, First of all I would like to highly recommend not to stay in this area at all, its old and you don't have nothing to do here at all !!! Go to Bocagrande or El guito instead. About the hotel, unfortunately I had a bad experience with this hotel, but this isn't the reason why I giving him such a low score. The way it's build, you have the window directed to a patio inside the hotel where they put the vent of the A/C so you have noise all the time in your room. Also the location is terrible, old neighborhood and nothing to do there. The pool is basically a hot tub, the gym (if u can call it that) have no A/C or even a fan, and most importantly no water to drink !!! Also I don't know how much it's matter for your decision, but the breakfast isn't a buffet it's a choice between 2 different meals. And the most important tip I can give you, Avoid in any cost from rooms 205 and 410 !!!! I slept there for 2 nights, and I switched 3 rooms during that time. In 205 there's a noise like someone doing construction in the next room, in 410 when I came back late there wasn't any running water in the bathroom.

Positiv:: location was 10 min drive from el centro. has some great restaurants in the area. the breakfast is great for a free breakfast. has a great jacuzzi area on the roof and i loved it. the staff was amazing. there was always someone on duty that spoke english and they were very,very helpful. restaurant and restaurant staff was amazing also. this is a great place to stay for the price and has free parking also. THE STAFF AT THE FRONT DESK WAS AMAZING EVERYDAY ALLDAY!!!!!!!

Negativ:: Had to put key card in a device for the power in the room to work and they only give you one so when you leave the room its going to get hot in there, but the room was very fast and cools off fast.

Positiv:: friendly staff, free and secure parking lot, restaurant right inside the hotel, good and clean room

Negativ:: only air condition was not working very good, since it is quite old. only cold water.

Positiv:: Personal , Sauberkeit, Dachterrasse mit Minnie - Pool

Negativ:: Zimmerfenster zum Innenhof mit Blick auf die Klimaanlagen, Küchenabzug ist sehr laut

Positiv:: room was clean and comfortable.

Negativ:: no hot water in bathroom and low water pressure. no complimentary coffee in am. Wall outlet behind bed broken and hard to access.

Positiv:: Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean.

Negativ:: The furniture is outdated. It didn't have a toilet seat. For the price it was a bit pricey.

Positiv:: Friendly and helpful staff.
