“Quirky but great!!”
+Had a great experience staying here. I was in the Blue Room which is right next to the kitchen but as I am an early riser the sounds didn’t bother me (as they start prepping shortly after 6am). The room was small but had everything I needed and it was quiet which, for Getsemani, is fabulous. It is very close to the restaurants and action but far enough away to be comfortable. The staff were so wonderful- welcoming and happy to help out with anything. Paco has great English which was really helpful. Overall I can happily recommend staying here and just be careful to not disturb either of the two turtles who live here!!!

“Unique gem in Cartagena's artsy Getsemaní! 🌿*”
+Unique gem in Cartagena's artsy Getsemaní! 🌿 A charming family-run hotel in the heart of Getsemaní, perfect for soaking up the artistic vibe. Father and son, were always super helpful and made my stay wonderful. My rooms, "Provence," was lovely - and the "Mexico" room next door looked like a fiesta! 😊 I also had the first studio more spacious then all others with the little kitchenette but I don't remember now the name. I think from all, Mexico was my favorite for the shower under the stars and the decorations. - The hotel: Great breakfast to start the day, location was a big plus. The core had a "little jungle" feel, with cute turtles roaming around. Each room was uniquely decorated with theme-matching details, photos, and books. A little jacuzzi on the second floor to cool from the heat. - *Carnaval bonus*: I experienced my first Carnaval here - colorful, noisy, music-filled! _Might be a bit much if you’re after super-safe crowds, but it added to the magic._ - Would I return? In a heartbeat for the charm ..the people and location! Highly recommend this little hotel for culture-lovers and those wanting a cozy, unique stay in Cartagena.

“Friendly Place, very nice!”
+Even though I did not stay in the hotel, I used a guided tour from the establishment. It was extremely prompt, friendly and uncomplicated. The tour was a unique personal experience, very individual. Next time I’m there, I’ll be staying there and I’d definitely book another tour there.

“Nope”
+I don’t recommend this place. The room was significantly different from the photos. It was tiny compared to the pics. The service people were very kind, but I think that’s standard in Colombia. We found cockroaches in the room. We left early. We didn’t want to be there.
+What a magical place. Despite being right in the heart of everything you want to do or see, it was so quiet. The creative touches of the decor, kindness of staff, delicious breakfast prepared with care, and turtle friends made it blissful. Paco went above and beyond to share recommendations. Thank you!
“Beautiful and original”
+Beautiful clean room La Mer in a very quirky house. I loved the open shower, the turtles, the jaccuzi on the roof top, the owner and staff were extremely helpful. The street was quiet yet very close to the restaurants and bars. Getsmani is a very lively interesting neighbourhood full of history. Loved our stay.
+It’s a gem! The family and staff tending the hotel could not be more helpful and friendly. The breakfast was great and even though the hotel is small the rooms are large and very comfortable. Beautiful place!!
