This property is very conveniently located walking distance to the clock tower/bustling center of Cartagena de indias. We were able to walk to our walking tour (and Getsemani), the castle, chivas, shopping, our cooking class, and the port/meeting spot to go to the mud volcano. The room was clean and nice and the rooftop pool area and restaurant were both nice as well. As far as a valuable and nice stay within Cartagena de Indias borders, we recommend this one.
