I never spend this much on hotels, but hotel Monterrey came highly recommended by a friend who has stayed in many Cartagena hotels. It's located just outside the old city, so close enough to walk, but also away from the chaos. The front desk staff were also very polite and helpful. However, the pool was closed for a day and...

This is a very nice, small hotel. It is centrally located for tourism, just outside the old city. It is a charming, old hotel. The staff is very accomodating. Breakfast is included and while not the best I've had (limited choices) it is quite acceptable. The rooms open up to an interior courtyard, where breakfast is served. There is a... More

I stayed there for a pleasure trip with a little time for bussiness. This place is all about location, right in front of the Muelle de los Pegasos where once stood the bridge between the city center and the old town of Getsemani. And it's Getsemani, where the hotel stands by, where you may still feel the vibe of the... More

The location is grat, less than a 5 minute walk to the gate of the old city. It does sit next to a club and fronts on a busy steet, so ask for one of the courtyard rooms if you want to eliminate that noise. The room was small, but very clean. The AC worked well. Service was mixed somewhat.... More

We spent two nights at the Hotel Monterrey in mid-February. The hotel is nice - new, clean rooms, hot showers, helpful staff, rooftop is great for lounging. It takes less than a minute to walk to the walled city so you really can't beat this location and price! We would definitely here again.

Small hotel where you can find the old architecture, but all rooms (we occupied two) are brand new, small but comfortable, with a/c and a good bathroom. It is located nearby the watch and the walled city, the plaza in front of the hotel is very big, illuminated and full of cops. You will feel safe during the day and... More

This is a 3.5 rating, not three. Hotel was ideally located in the walled city---still can get plenty of action without being right in the center of it. In fact, it was great to get a reprieve from the hustling and bustling of tourism in the old city. At Hotel Monterrey, you can relax at the rooftop pool area while... More

My husband, adult daughter & I stayed here for 3 nights. It is walking distance ( 3 minutes) from the old city and has great views from the top of the hotel. The rooms are small due to the age of the hotel but all nicely appointed, airconditioned and very clean. We spent our days on short tours in the... More

The staff was wonderful and the hotel was charming and well appointed. My husband and I felt as if we had stepped back in time as we entered the hotel with it's tiled lobby, exposed beams, and stucco walls. The location is perfect, too!

The hotel was perfectly located, clean, beautiful and run by very kind people. This hotel is located at the "gates" of the historic center, it is quite small, only a few rooms per floor. The views are excellent. The "Brasserie" (restaurant) has excellent french food at the best prices! I absolutely recommend this hotel.
