“Getsemani's vibrant heart beats just outside the door, and the rooftop pool is a welcome surprise for this price point; the American and Mexican restaurants add diverse dining. It's basic in a comfortable way, especially appealing to first-time Cartagena visitors or those backpacking. Expect lively nights and easy access to the old town's charm.”

mixed experience. questionable cleanliness
rooftop barbroken windowmold spots
the rooftop bar and pool area were good.
The room was a real letdown. initially, we had a room with a broken window and significant mold spots plus an unpleasant smell, we did get a new room, but it also disappointed. it had mold in the bathroom, damp patches on the wall, and the air conditioning leaked, with moisture dripping down the walls.

Mixed Feelings About This Place
good locationhigh noiseunhelpful staff
The location was good enough for exploring the area.
The room felt more like a cell. Not what I expect. The noise level was pretty bad. Sleep was difficult with music going until late. The staff acted like they were doing me a favor when asked for help. They need better training in customer service.

unhelpful stafflimited view
the staffs attitude wasn't the best, especially at the front desk. i felt they weren't really listening when i had a problem with my bill. also, my suite, the 'suite', faced an internal courtyard, so there wasn't much of a view from my windows. it was kinda disappointing because i was hoping for a better outlook after paying extra for that room type.
