The Sofitel is a really good hotel within the Walled City. The staff are excellent; I cant recall everyone’s name (and I really wish that I could) but Miguel our butler was top notch. Everyone greets you with a smile and are ready to assist. We were upgraded to a high floor with nice room and great view. There was a slight mixup with the room but we were assisted every step of the way and provided with a free lunch while they rectified the situation and placed our luggage inside of the room. The breakfast at El jardin was good with some delicious coffee. Only two cons; one is after some time you can smell the sewage in the bathroom and the shower sprays water all over the bathroom floor. The Sofitel is within walking distance of everything and you’ll want to stay here if you desire peace and quiet especially after midnight.

This unique historical hotel offers a perfect blend of charm and character, set around a central courtyard with lush greenery and the soothing sounds of chirping birds. The rooms are modern, clean, and comfortable, providing a relaxing space to unwind. The delicious breakfast buffet is a highlight with freshly cut local fruits and juices—must have a coconut lemonade! Located conveniently within walking distance to the best restaurants in the Walled City, it’s an ideal spot to explore Cartagena. The staff are friendly and helpful. A wonderful retreat for anyone looking to relax and enjoy the beauty of this vibrant city.

The staff was very warm, welcoming and professional. The room and facilities are very nice, but we had a few issues with plumbing fixture in the bathroom and water pressure. Other than those issues, everything was excellent. Rooms were maintained well during visit. The hotel restaurants (Jardin and 1612) and bar onsite were excellent. Great stay overall and I do recommend.

We expected more

The facilities are nice and well-maintained. The rooms are comfortable, but for the price—twice that of similar hotels—they are basic. We were disappointed with the VIP service for Hotels.com, as we were assigned one of only three or four rooms in the entire hotel without a balcony.

I would recommend this hotel over and over again. It was my first time in Cartagena and at this hotel, we had an amazing stay. The location was unbelievable. We felt very safe at all time. The hotel itself was remarkable. I’ve traveled a lot in my time and I have to say this is one of the most beautiful hotels I’ve ever been to.. it was exactly what I was looking for. The staff was amazing, very welcoming and professional. Our rooms were beautiful!! I love that you could be out in the city walking around and come back to your sanctuary of a stunning, relaxing hotel! The restaurants at the hotel were outstanding!!!!!
