It was nice to read a couple of good reviews beforehand because this place impressed me so much that I have returned here for a second time for an entire month again!! Previously, I had a lot of confrontations, from the haters club, who completely trashed out this place for no just reason in their reviews. Therefore, the hotel Toledo tripadvisor overall rating is not close to being accurate for several reasons. First of all, this is one of the best locations in Cartagena. For example, there are a couple of 5 star luxury hotels that cost 8-10 times the rate of this place. These critics are too tight to pay to stay there, too tight to tip the hotel Toledo employees, but still expect a 5 star scenario in the meantime?? The beach is just one city block away, there are awesome restaurants and various social venues within a block or two the other directions, a large supermarket, and the area is very safe with no threats of crime whatsoever. Concerning, the person that complained about the pool being too hot, very few hotels even have pools at all at this hotel rate. Cartagena is a hot climate year round, the ocean water is always warm, so why wouldn't the pool be warm, as well?! The hotel has a lot of history here and has traditional Columbian culture and style to it, which makes it unique, not horrible. The building is very old, but they work very hard to keep everything very clean They have a very good restaurant called "Harvey's", which has large portions of food at reasonable prices. My favorite dish is the chicken and rice plate! They have every possible type of room options at all different rates. This is a very popular place with the Columbian locals, who come here from all over the country. They actually have large rooms that are full of beds for lower income groups and families to make sure everyone has an opportunity to come here at all social levels. They do not have any elevators so if you are a handicapped or disabled guest they put you on the first floor. please let them know ahead of time. Another big issue with the hater club is that it is too loud here. This would resemble staying on bourbon street and want a quiet, tranquil room. Cartagena has a Marti Gras type culture and atmosphere, so tourist should know what they are getting into before they decide to stay in this district. Anytime I have a noise issue, i just play some light music in the background, which eliminates this issue. All of the employees here do a great job, are very friendly and, as I have stated before. kindness and tipping goes a long way. For example, the first time that I came here I had the trip for hell with various flight delays and cancellations and never got there until 3 am and was suppose to arrive at 6pm. (arrived 9 hours later that expected) The front desk person said that he could tell that I was tired and stressed out and told me to just pay for everything in the morning, which is unheard of in these days and times! They do have a bi-lingual staff, if you do not speak spanish and laundry service is available!

“Perfect”

The hotel is very cute. rooms are perfect size. I stayed here with my friend and its very close to the beach and only a 6 mil cab fare to the old city. The hotel staff were absolutely amazing and super friendly. The hotel is perfect for a few day stay.
