Overall a nice and convenient hotel

The hotel is nice in generally, except it can be little warm in the room during a warm spring and require the windows to be opened. Breakfast area can be crowded when large groups are staying at the hotel.

3 Nights in Cartagena.

This is a lovely hotel in very good condition and my room was excellent. Reception staff, Francisco, Loli, Andrés and Jose were all very helpful. A good 20 minute walk got you to the seafront but there are many interesting places to see before you get there. The museums and castles are all cheap to visit with much information in English but not always. The only thing the hotel lacked was a bar for the evenings but there are many options not far away. I would stay in this hotel again. Oops, nearly forgot, breakfast is also very good with a wide choice available.

Ein super Service des Personals und das für spanische Verhältnisse sehr gute Frühstück können leider das sehr dunkle Zimmer und die unserer Meinung nach unsicheren Lifte nicht aufwiegen. Die Lifte springen und ruckeln sehr stark nach. Auch ist die Wartung laut Schild überfällig. Man fühlt sie ch sehr schnell nsicher.
