Hotel Playa Club, Cartagena

Good breakfast. Friendly staff. Great location for exploring Boca Grande. HOWEVER, be advised that there’s a nightclub across the street that thumps until 2 a.m. every night but Monday. Ask for a room near the back of the hotel.

Nice hotel in Bocagrande!

Great location, nice restaurant, nice people, safe, within few steps of shops and restaurants. Need a cab to get to the tourist sites, very limited TV channels and zero English Channel, good internet

The staff was pleasant, helpful and patient. You may be a little frustrated if you cannot speak any Spanish at all, although some of the staff are bilingual (English/Spanish). The room was a little shabby and small, and there was no view, but it was clean, with good airconditioning, and all utilities functioned as expected. No apparent safety issues. Due to the building’s design and construction materials, it was a bit loud after hours, with kids making noise in the hall even after midnight. Wasn’t bad enough to bother me, but some would definitely be irritated. Neighborhood was fine during the day, right next to the beach, plenty of stores, taxis, restaurants and bars. A 15 minute (very cheap) cab ride to the historic zone. Didn’t really venture out at night, so no comment on the after hours scene. Overall a good budget choice in my long-winded opinion.

The stay at the hotel was good Recommend translation app if you don’t speak Spanish
