Casa India Catalina

The best thing about the hotel is the location right in heart of old city with all attractions very close to hand. The staff were very friendly however only a handful of rooms have outside windows and without the air conditioning were very stuffy and had a damp smell. My friend had to move rooms due to the ac not working as it was far to hot to stay in without it. The breakfast was also average but the location of the hotel makes up for it

I really liked it it has a convenient location and quiet building with a little pool. You have to go up stairs. Nice breakfast.

I was here for one night since I was going home the next day. I thought it was well organized and secure.

Air conditioner is not cooling. Room had no natural light. 4th floor rooms are like lofts under the roof. No elevator

The staff was wonderful and the facilities were clean but the building next to it was a club with extremely loud music that played until after 3am. We would have enjoyed the hotel had we been able to sleep and when we asked what could be done, it was clear the noise levels were a known issue.

Great location but our room has zero natural light and the pool was far from what expected from the pictures (looked dirty and stagnant, over 3 days not one guest used it)

A nice colonial house in the very centre of the walled city, at walking distance from everything (pier, Getsemani and of course all the sights within the walls). The room was nicely furnished but unluckily very dark as the single window faces the staircase; I think it’s a common situation as the house is built around a central patio and very few rooms are on the street side but it’s definitely a minus to be in a luminous city like Cartagena and to need artificial light all day. The bathroom is small but functional with hair dryer and some basic toiletries. No complimentary water, but that seems common in Colombia unlike most countries with non drinkable water. There is a small swimming pool in the patio but didn’t look appealing at all. Very little common space and not air conditioned, the only option to staying outside is the dark room. There is no lift for people, only for luggage, which makes the hotel unsuitable for who has some motility problem. Breakfast has to be ordered the day before and there is some choice: juice, fruit, eggs, bread. The service is good but it’s hard to understand why you should award it with an extra 6% tip (optional, but how do you say no?) when you pay at check out. Wifi is excellent.

Wonderful place to stay, everything is near.
