Top La Merced Square Hotel Reviews

Charleston Santa Teresa Cartagena

8/10 Good

"This hotel has a fantastic location, but that's about where the excellence ends. The pictures don't quite match reality, and while the staff is friendly, check-in and check-out were a bit rocky with unexpected charges popping up. All in all, it's a pricey hotel that doesn't quite live up to its cost"

Casa Noa Colonial Rooms

8/10 Good

"The room was perfect for a quick stay. Clean bed, nice location, the shower was odd cause it would not drain super fast (and that’s not how they are in the old city normally) so if you showered for longer than 5 mins it would flood the bathroom… but it’s okay. It was a nice stop for one night and we would do it again for a quick stay for sure."

Hotel Casa La Factoria by Faranda Boutique, a member of Radisson Individuals

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was amazing, very helpful. I found the bar a restaurant expensive ."

Osh Hotel Cartagena

"El desayuno a la carta es excelente, tiene platos deliciosos. Me encantaron los robots que llevan la comida. El hotel en general es muy bonito y moderno, el personal muy amable, gracias especialmente a María Victoria por su valiosa ayuda. Lo que sí es importante mencionar es que el hotel no está dentro de la ciudad amurallada."

"La experiencia fue excepcional, desde la llegada hasta que nos tocó la salida. El hotel esta muy bien ubicado en la zona colonial dentro de la muralla. Su arquitectura es hermosa. Una combinación de edificios restaurados coloniales con edificios nuevos bien integrados. La vegetación crea un ambiente agradable. El servicio fue de primera, todos muy atentos. El restaurante para cenar riquísimo, el desayuno extenso y muy bueno. El cuarto super cómodo y el baño con una excelente distribución. El area de las piscinas esta chevere con vistas a la ciudad. Usamos el gimnasio y estaba súper equipado para hacer una rutina completa. Es un hotel que repetiría si volvemos a Cartagena."

"Love this hotel. Super cute boutique hotel. Everyone was super nice. They have a little pool and both times we used it we were the only ones there. The staff is great and everyone was super kind. It is walking distance to all things in the walled city and Getsamani. Oh and the air conditioning was amazing in the room! 100% would stay again."
