“Nestled in Getsemani, this hotel places you near the lively Holy Trinity Square, and a short walk takes you to Cartagena's Walled City; the location alone makes it a standout. I appreciate the rooftop pool, an uncommon luxury for budget-conscious stays, and the on-site restaurants offer a satisfying mix of American and Mexican cuisine. It's a practical and atmospheric choice for young travelers.”
