“This hotel places you steps from Bocagrande beach, and its price leaves room in the budget for Cartagena's vibrant dining scene. The free breakfast is a real perk before a day of exploring the historic city center, a short drive away. I found the vibe unpretentious and convenient for those wanting to be close to the action without breaking the bank. Expect clean, simple comforts and a location that puts the city within easy reach.”
