This is my second time staying at this establishment and I can honestly say the staff is well attentive to guests needs even during new ownership and renovations. They keep the hotel clean and safe and are always available to answer any questions you may have. Alfonso and Andrea are the perfect duo with an amazing team supporting them. Big improvement over the previous management.

The hotel staff are friendly. The rooms are nice and clean. From the balcony, you have a nice view of the action on the street near the clock. The locked door and camera seem to be helpful. The police are usually always in the area as well. I had a great visit and will stay again.

Excellent place to stay within the Walled City. The location is perfect! Shops, restaurants, and nightclubs all in walking distance. The free breakfast is not on site at the hotel, but it’s about a 2 minute walk to the cafe where it’s served. The staff was very friendly and attentive to anything I needed. The room was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the A/C worked without any problems. The bathroom however was a little tight, but I was able to manage. The only problem I ran into is there is no electrical outlet in the bathroom. I definitely plan on staying here again on my next visit to Cartagena.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Ethnic Thematic Hotel. The vibe is different from the typical tourist hotels—it feels cultural, colorful, and full of personality. The staff was friendly and made me feel right at home. The rooms were comfortable and had that unique local touch that makes you feel like you’re actually in Cartagena, not just passing through. The location is perfect too, close to the action but still peaceful enough to relax. If you want a stay that feels authentic and memorable, I’d definitely recommend this place.
