The hotel service was impeccable. Martin, the hotel manager, gave us several restaurant and tour recommendations, and was always willing to help. The hotel staff were always very friendly and the breakfast was delicious and just as we requested. The hotel has a hot tub, which we reserved every day, and the staff brought towels and provided speakers. The location was very good, outside the walled city, but only 8 minutes away, in a neighborhood where the prices are better than inside the walls.
The location is very good. The hotel looks old from the outside, but the interior of the room is newly renovated. The breakfast is average. Given the good location, the price/performance ratio is ok.
I had stayed at the Allure Chocolat in the past and loved it. I loved the room, rooftop pool and pool bar, great staff and good breakfast. Location is excellent, close to the walled city. I booked this return trip to stay at the Chocolat only to arrive and after checking in the front desk man said by the way our pool is closed during your stay for a private group. Note their their rooftop pool and pool bar is a key reason for staying here for me. I then asked why they was not stated at the time of booking the room and he couldn't answer that but said don't worry, we will send you in a taxi or shuttle to another hotel to use their pool. Unacceptable. I was upset and asked to speak to the manager. His option was to transfer us to their other hotel Allure Canela which has a pool. He said it's close and easy walking distance to the walled city and it would cover my need to have the pool on site without the hassle of taking taxis or shuttles to get to the pool. So I agreed and regretted it. Allure Canela is a nice hotel, but smaller, noisy location and the pool is the size of a large bathtub and seeing all guests was going there from all 3 Allure hotels in town, it was quite busy with no deck chairs to use most of the time. So the point of this feedback is based on the poor management decision of the Allure Chocolat to block the pool for a private group and not warn guests booking rooms on those dates. I feel this was deceptive and ended up paying too much for a room in a hotel in not so great location. I did get free meals for 2 nights, but this didn't make up for the inconvenience and excitement of staying at the Chocolat.
I will highlight the front desk man Felix. He was very nice and tried to help at Chocolat when he had to tell me about the lack of pool facilities. Very nice man.
Excellent

The structure is beautiful, divided into two buildings, two terraces and two restaurants but discreet and more expensive food than what is out there. The bedroom could be much better...the bathroom was really sharp, at all at the standards of other Selina facilities. The bed was quite comfortable at least. The air conditioner in the room at a too low temperature that was not possible to modify by creating ice in the room.

This hotel room is good, the location is not bad, next to the residential area, the living environment is really good, I am very envious, that is, the hotel bath water is small enough, the bathtub is disgusting, can you remove the bathtub, the front desk a Chinese face girl does not know if it is American, Seeing my pig liver red passport, but still telling me Chinese? I dare not speak Chinese to others.
The hotel environment is very good, that is, the loft format has no windows, which is more depressing, and the breakfast is also very good
Very Good

Outstanding
KKarlVincentRothThis place is simply amazing. My girlfriend and I decided to stay here for the first two nights in Colombia and we couldn’t have been happier with our decision. We stayed in the Africa suite - the room was clean, beautifully decorated, and had so much charm. The bed was comfortable and all the amenities were as advertised. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The staff here is truly what deserves a stellar review. We arrived late and even before our arrival, the owner Marcus had responded to us promptly with info about checking in. When we got there - Franc (François) was waiting for us and gave us a quick and thoughtful tour of the BnB and was so kind and informative with any and every question we had. He made the trip for us. Such a wonderful human being. The next morning we had an amazing breakfast that was cooked to perfection and was greeted by their resident tortoise on the premises - such a cute lil guy, as well as Marcus who was just as welcoming and kind as he was on the phone. When we left, Roman was working and set us up with a cab to the bus station and was equally kind and helpful. I could go on - but just do yourself a favor and book this BnB. I’ll be going back the next time I come back to Cartagena - and any time after that.
DDagumaijiushiwanerJust in the bar street, you can drink street cocktails when you go out, and there is a small pool. The hotel is very safe and there are people on duty at night to open the door for guests.
GGuest UserAll rooms overlook a central courtyard, which is nice but not practical as people are always passing by so you can’t leave the window open as you get no privacy. The curtain is not a curtain but a rolling blind, so either shut or open. My room happens to be on the ground floor, where the restaurant is. It may be better on the other floors. So just artificial light.
There is also no desk in the room. Otherwise the room is decent and clean.
The breakfast is simple but good with coffees, juice some fruit and an omelette.
The place is secure and the reception have to open for you to go in and out. Location wise it’s pretty good as well as it’s within the wall but not where wll tourists hang out. Pretty safe
Check in strictly at 3pm even if the room is available 😅
SSara CalvacheBeautiful place for guest**** very recommended, the people who care are very friendly, the very comfortable room, excellent 100% recommended service for excellent holidays.
