An absolutely incredible place to stay! The staff and facilities were beyond helpful. They remember your name. They take care of all of your needs, they constantly offer their services for you. The food and drinks were superb. Of course, it is in the heart of the walled city so everything is convenient! Will definitely stay there again!

The overall service is good, but the price/what you get relationship is not worth it. The hotel price tag is for 5 star luxury hotel… in this case the towels, amenities are not of one. The service is good but many of the employees said they weren’t paid extra hours so if the bar closes at 12 they stop service at 11. The staff is friendly and helpful. The hotel is located in a convenient place, walkable from any point of the walled city. The offer at the pool is very limited (not good). For being a Sofitel and a luxury hotel, lacks the magic of being at a good hotel. I think the savings they are implementing are not worth it.

Best hotel in Cartagena! Right in the heart of the walled city . Walking distance to restaurants, bars, coffee shops and markets. Rooms were very clean and spacious. Pool area was very nice. The restaurants were also very good. Breakfast buffet served traditional Colombian food along with variety of meats, eggs and pastries. Lunch and dinner also had good options. The drinks were good. Attended a wedding there which was a great venue and time for all of the guests. Staff was friendly. Highly recommend!

We loved everything about our stay here! The service was fantastic. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful. The food and cocktails were all fantastic. The building and grounds were absolutely stunning, and the rooms were well appointed with amenities... robes, slippers, mini bar, nice turn down service, good products, safe, nice closet space, and so on. We had a massage and facial in the spa, and those were all excellent as well. The spa has a steam room and is very nice; the service is excellent. It does not have a ton of amenities (hot tub, sauna, etc). Even the pool chaises were gorgeous. The butler was very responsive. We looked at the other nice hotels while there... this was by far the prettiest one and best located. It is not directly in the middle of shopping, etc, but it is close to everything. The top restaurants were an easy walk. Having Uber sevice was huge too, though we only needed it a few times this was so close to everything. Honestly perfect on every metric, we hope to be back! Even the breakfast buffet and service were lovely and decadent.
