We had a wonderful stay at Sofitel! The breakfast was delicious and the service outstanding — every staff member we met was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the pool every day and had an amazing time with the crew who always made sure we were well taken care of. Highly recommended!
Great location in Old town, walking distance to many attractions.
Overall hotel service was impeccable, room was very clean, and well later out.
Food at restaurants was outstanding.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Should get a refresh rooms are not well maintained. Facilities not great I had an issue in the bathroom. Used to be better. But interior garden for drink, tea, breakfast is unbeatable. Small birds everywhere.
It used to be a convent it’s an incredible Spanish architecture.
The staff at the Bar El Coro was fantastic, very attentive and cordial. 5 STARS
The food at El Jardin Restaurant was good, the hostess can improve their demeanor, they looked upset. 4 STARS
This beautiful hotel boasts an excellent location, extremely friendly staff, and very well-equipped rooms. It offers excellent services such as a spa, pool, and gym. The breakfast is delicious. Highly recommended.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
The breakfast was good and almost all staff had excellent English language skills. Our room was quite damp and had moisture dripping from the ceiling due to the ac. Although it was a lovely stay they also automatically added a £35 service charge on for each night. Bit cheeky
It was in a unique experience due to the nature of this hotel property being in the heart of the city of Cartagena! I truly love this property and it’s amenities. I would go back in a heartbeat!
I will definitely come back! Worth the money, customer service is excellent and wonderful location, facilities and breakfast food! I couldn’t recommend this enough, don’t think twice about it, just book it!
This unique historical hotel offers a perfect blend of charm and character, set around a central courtyard with lush greenery and the soothing sounds of chirping birds. The rooms are modern, clean, and comfortable, providing a relaxing space to unwind. The delicious breakfast buffet is a highlight with freshly cut local fruits and juices—must have a coconut lemonade! Located conveniently within walking distance to the best restaurants in the Walled City, it’s an ideal spot to explore Cartagena. The staff are friendly and helpful. A wonderful retreat for anyone looking to relax and enjoy the beauty of this vibrant city.
Santa Clara is a classic hotel in Cartagena. Excellent location, you are able to walk everywhere in the old city. Staff was awesome and very welcoming. Definitely I am coming back!
What an exceptional blend when history meets present time! The frame of the facility takes you to the 1600. The rooms offer you modern comfort. Breakfast in the garden with the birds chirping and singing felt like royalty. The choice of food is healthy and varies. It is at the center of town. You can walk to the most attractive locations and famous restaurants. The staff is great. I would like to give a special shot out to Juliet’s, one of the waitresses. She embodies the meaning of great service and class. This was truly a 5 star experience. I have absolutely no reservations in recommending that hotel to a traveler. I was celebrating a birthday earlier this month
I can't say enough wonderful things anout this wonderful property! There are bars and a restaurant and a little bit of shopping all located within the hotel. Not to mention there are a number of small markets just steps away. The staff was super friendly and helpful!. I stayed here 4 fantastic days and not one bad experience. I can't wait for my next stay here!
