I chose the Hotel San Martin in Cartagena based on reviews from others. I was concerned about the hotel's location, but it is in the heart of small business and good residential areas. It's just a block from the beach. I walked to the Centro, the old walled city, and the docks where the boats leave for the islands, many... More

We loved this place: lovely staff, a decent breakfast, a cheap dinner, nice and clean rooms and a very nice terrace for people watching. It has a very good location, close to the beach and to great restaurants. From there to the walled city would cost you only 6.000 COP and take 5-10 minutes. We really appreciated our stay at... More

Close to what you would expect from a good business hotel in the US. Needed amenities like well-appointed rooms, satisfying free breakfast, WiFi, and a very accommodating staff. Close to excellent restaurants. A quick taxi ride to the airport.

Big rooms, quiet AC, clean bathrooms with hot showers and great accessto the internet from anywhere. Breakfast was a buffet and... More

I was surprised how clean and modern this hotel was. Great night spot and one block from the beach. Nice sized rooms were very comfortable with AC. The staff was very polite and helpful. Fifteen minutes from Cortez airport. I will use this hotel every time I return to Cartagena. I almost forgot, they have a real breakfast. I see... More

Excellent value for money at this well kept hotel. The location is superb and people watching whilst having a drink outside is a must before heading out for the evening. The rooms are very clean and have air con, the bathroom areas are also clean and of a good size. We have stayed here twice now and will probably always... More

Our first three nights in Colombia were spent in the Hotel San Martin in the Bocagrande section of Cartagena. It's a small hotel in a great location. Clean, comfortable rooms with a/c and enough hot water. Nice breakfast with some variety. Very friendly staff. We booked online and were offered only triple rooms. In spite of our being only a...

If you want to save some money (even though you will pay cab rides) by not staying in the walled city, then it maybe a good choice. Most customers are locals, it is a clean place, rooms are a little better than basic, breakfast is average. There are a few good food options around in the next few blocks toward... More

The room was great with king-size bed, mini bar, safe, all features much appreciated after a stay in budget accommodation in the walled city, But for location, especially if you don't have a car, I'd recommend staying in the old city. Hotel San Martin is surrounded by other hotels and apartments and there's nothing much to see or do in... More

We had 4 nights in this hotel and we were absolutely satisfied. It is nice, that this hotel is no huge one- seems nice on the outside and really is on the inside. With a price of 70 EUR it was an ok price for Cartagena. We had a spacious and really clean room and especially bathroom. The staff was... More
