Poor service amd small room. Did not enjoy stay and won't be going back. Disappointing to say the least.

Has worms on the curtains and beds, its very expensive , service is not that good and small pool doesnt get much sun.

Based on the pictures and reviews, we booked Delirio for five days while staying in Cartagena for a friend's wedding. I had very high expectations, and this place lived up to them fairly well. You have to really embrace the minimalist design--we barely had anywhere to unpack the suitcases--no chest of drawers or dressers here! We spent no time in the room anyways, and the wifi did work fairly well--I lost video feed several times while skyping, but overall it worked and it's free. Breakfast is good but you have to wait around 25 minutes or so for hot food if you choose to order the "main course" of omelets, pancakes, etc. If you're in a hurry you can grab the fruit, juice, rolls, and corn flakes that are set out. Either way, the fountain makes a great back-drop to your dining experience! The roof-top area is interesting...there is definitely not a pool (which I knew ahead of time), but there is what they call the "pulverizing cube," which is basically a glass box that you stand in and can turn on cold water mists from every direction to cool you down while laying out in the sun on the lounge chairs. There's also a high-pressure shower up there. Back in the rooms, the air conditioning is great and the showers are fantastic. We did have one afternoon with no hot water, but otherwise everything went off without a hitch. The mini-fridge is also stocked with water, beer, and soda all at good cheap prices. Feel free to drink freely from your fridge! The place is in a perfect location; we walked easily to every place we wanted to go in the walled district. It's also secure--the front door is always locked, with a doorbell that notifies the staff that you'd like to get back in (24 hours per day). The staff is professional and top-notch, always there for anything you need. Good shampoo, conditioner, and lotion provided--also kleenex and shower caps. Safe with a key in the closet. Big new flat-screen tvs, although we never used it. No clock in the room. Quiet neighborhood--no roosters to be found! Rooms were a bit smaller and with less furniture than expected, but everything else was as expected and I would definitely stay there again!

Stayed here for two nights in August 2011. Convenient location and everything was great and as I expected. The receptionist (Elena), especially, was very helpful and went above and beyond to make sure I had a great stay. Room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. Breakfast, which is included, was delicious. Air conditioning worked well (almost too cold!). Also, I arranged for an airport pickup/drop off and not only was the driver there on -time, but the rate is much better than other hotels (from what I read). Overall, would definitely recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again!
