I chose this location trying to stay away from the madness of the historic center (old city) as it can turn crazy come sleep time. I absolutely made the right choice. GHL is a very short walk from the historic center, which is where the party and dining usually happen, but provides the peace and quite you want when trying to rest. Bu the way, the beds and pillows and tops, really great quality. The staff is amazing all around, Alfonso, Camila and Cristian were wonderful always one step ahead of our needs and always so accomodating, they were a big part of having such a good experience with this hotel, Thank you. The pool, oh the pool, amazing views, trust me you will get the best photos ever. The pool staff is also amazing, I think the name of the main guy is Jose. This hotel is wonderful all around, can't wait to be back in Cartagena and definitely stay at GHL.

Excellent stay and great staff. I asked for a quiet room and my room was quiet. I had the best sleep of my my one month stay in Colombia. Very convenient location as well. I will return for sure. Some areas for improvement: a little hectic during breakfast sometimes so I think they need to add more staff during busy season. I also had a few hiccups as a solo female traveller of color but the staff handled it well and were very apologetic. I think some training on biases and assumptions would be helpful as well.

The hotel was at a convenient walkable location. There are many excellent dining options very close to the hotel. We arranged for pickup at the airport, which was very convenient. Our driver was on time and very helpful. Alfonso at the reception area also provided excellent customer service by giving recommendations and helping us at check in and check out.

Very well located, close to both walled city and Getsemaní and the port. The room was a good size and very nice and clean and modern. Washroom was the same, good by all accounts. The breakfast buffet options are good however it’s a very chaotic experience, trying to find a table and then flagging servers down for coffee or to order food not from the buffet etc. other than the breakfast delays I enjoyed my stay very much. It didn’t bother me that much but in case you’re on a tight schedule it’s good to know. I would stay here again regardless.

I had great expectations based on this Hotel reviews but we had some issues with the Room cleaning service and check in (Room was not ready at 3pm probably because the delay cleaning the rooms, we had to request to have the room cleaned after 2pm) I always leave tip to the cleaning ladies in any Hotel I travel to but even though the cleaning lady left us only 1 towel the first day (we are a couple) the 2nd day she didn't leave any towel, I think the Hotel management should enforce the room to be cleaned on time and doing it properly other than that the rest of the Hotel staff was very friendly and we had a good experience

I will definitely be returning to this hotel in Cartagena, Columbia. From the moment you walked into the hotel the staff were so eager to help. The check-in process was very fast. The hotel is very clean and smells wonderful. I loved my room the quality of the bedding and the mattress is , superb. The rooms are very spacious with high ceilings and very quiet. I loved the shower and the bathroom toiletries that was provided and also the towels were huge, strong, and out of this world. The breakfast was delicious everyday. They make very good coffee. I would love to mention three staff members that went above and beyond for my birthday. Their names are Fabian, Alfonso, papano. Thank you so much for your kindness. I will be returning shortly.
