Cartagena hotellia

Plussat: The location

Plussat: The location is perfect for anybody who wishes to explore the old city and marina/dock area. The staff are excellent and very courteous. Those who use the hotel underground car park are in for an interesting experience. Our room was generally well appointed. However it is worth mentioning that those who book a room with a terrace might need to ensure they are fit and agile enough to scale the high step to the French windows leading to their terrace. We ate both breakfast and dinner in the hotel restaurant. The quality of the food was good, but I feel unable to give a fair general assessment of those services. This is because Covid-19 precautions took away any semblance of atmosphere which might ordinarily exist.

Miinukset: Nothing of note.

Plussat: Great location in the centre of town. Helpful staff.

Miinukset: Really hard to deliver delicious food and top class service under COVID restrictions. The hotel tried very hard to make the environment safe. Inevitably some of the charm goes out of the window.

Plussat: Location and breakfast. Handy underground car park

Miinukset: Soundproofing between rooms very poor. Only option to close bedroom doors when leaving the room was to slam them shut. Hard, squeaky bed. Didn't get a room with a nice view despite asking beforehand (and the hotel was not full)

Plussat: Delicious breakfast and tapas lunch on the sunny street terrace. Great helpful staff. Perfect location with a view of the port and naval ships arriving and departing and the beautiful old port buildings, even liked the chiming clock outside our bedroom window!

Miinukset: Everything perfect, great view, from our huge balcony on 5th floor.

Plussat: It was very pleasant and the staff were fantastic .

Miinukset:

Miinukset: bathroom had mould all around shower screen and water in sink and bath filled up with horrible gunge coming up through the plug holes, we paid 14.95 each for dinner which was hot and cold buffett..... The hot products were luke warm and all dishes consisted of potatoes my husband had a salad and i had cold chips not worth 14.95. they also said there is a 24 hour bar twice we were in the bar and twice had to wait over half hour to be served as there was never anyone there

Plussat: Beds were very comfortable

Plussat: Lovely breakfast, plenty of choice.

Miinukset: Room smelt a bit fusty, there was a small amount of mould around the window frame, which needed attention.

Plussat: Clean good staff quiet

Plussat: Very clean and tidy and staff were very helpful

Miinukset: But far away from things like bars and food etc but if you have a car or get a taxi it’s not the end of the world

Plussat: I liked everything about the place, I've been there twice now and I'll always go back. One if my favorite hotels.

Plussat: Supermarket 50 metres from hotel, quiet 4th floor with nice view, fridge, nice receptionists, enough bedclothes and towels

Miinukset: Not very comfortably situated bath with water leaking out, no second door between hall and room preventing from noise from the corridor

Plussat: Staff was very nice and accommodating, breakfast was fair priced, and free coffee always a plus

Miinukset: I was next to the stairs and could hear everyone who used them. The sound conductivity of the hotel was amazing, that combined with some unannounced contest on slamming doors meant you never have to worry about sleeping past 7:30

Miinukset: Äänieristys huono. Jo Normaali puhe kadulta kuului häiritsevästi.

Plussat: The hotel was spotless,cleaners work very hard. Staff were excellent and the location was great. We didn't have breakfast but the free tea, coffee,etc, was a nice touch. The hotel is very well run and the staff lovely.

Miinukset: Would have liked a better view but it was okay. A bit too much lighting in the room at night.Had to disconnect the electricity card to sleep. Everything else was fine.

Plussat: friendly staff who were also very helpful. room was excellent, clean comfortable with a huge bed. A/C very good. good breakfast with a wide range of items on offer great value for €6. will definitely book again

Miinukset: loved everything

Plussat: Rooms very comfy and staff very friendly and helpful

Miinukset: The air conditioning was far too warm and a cooked breakfast would be good

Plussat: excellent location for the carnival .Rick s Café underneath was good fun too. Staff friendly and seem happy to see you.

Miinukset: A bit more choice for breakfast. But that's probably just personal choice.

Plussat: Aamiainen oli perusespanjalainen. Vihanneksia ja hedelmiä olisin toivonut lisää. Gluteenitonta leipää saan pyydettäessä.

Miinukset: Huoneiden äänieristys oli ainoa haittapuoli. Käytävän äänet kuuluivat selkeästi, samoin naapurin suihkussakäynti.

Plussat: Hyvä sijainti.

Miinukset: Kaikki ok, aamupala vaatimaton, mutta hyvin riitti. Kahvia sai ilmaiseksi automaatista 24/7.

Plussat: We went for the Jazz festival and many of the performers were staying in the hotel. It was located very close to the theatre. Staff were very helpful and friendly and only spoke to us in English when our Spanish wasn´t sufficient

Miinukset: Although Spanish residents, being English we like to have a tea/ coffee facilities in the room. Forgot the travel kettle and no room service. The final bill was incorrect as we had booked including breakfast but this was charged as an extra. However this was rectified at the hotel. The hotel parking is difficult

Plussat: Central location, close to all amenities.

Plussat: The hotel was central to everything thast we needed and had its own parking which in a city is vital,

Miinukset: I booked this hotel not only for position but for spa so was disappointed when for the duration of stay it was closed.

Plussat: There was only one thing good about this hotel - location - it's 5 minutes walk to town centre. Additionally, the ladies at the spa reception were very helpful and friendly. Otehr than that, it was a disaster;(

Miinukset: It was the worst hotel we stayed in during our trip around Spain. Our room was very dirty - and when we entered the room a huge cockroach- La cucaracha was on the floor. Some hairs were in the bathroom and a lot of them on the carpet which was totally dirty. The whole hotel needs a renovation and unfortunately doesn't deserve a rate of 4 stars.

Plussat: This is not near the sea but only 15 minutes walking from there. This hotel for me is not less than 2nd place. (1st is NH Cartagena)

Miinukset: Not everybody in staff speaks english

Plussat: The location was very good, close to main shopping street and marina

Miinukset:

Plussat: The hotel was very close to local amenities, such as the main shopping area and port.

Miinukset:

Plussat: We liked the position--quite central to everything, also the fact that it had parking

Miinukset: This hotel is dreary, old fashioned and cheerless---certainly not our idea of 4 star. The bathroom door catch was broken as was the hairdryer. It was difficult to open the door as a sofa was in the way.THE Man on reception was far from welcoming and clearly failed charm SCHOOL.Everything was dark-- low wattage bulbs and beige/brown decor. The furniture was a mixture of all sorts--mostly old and dark We were glad to leave.We stayed at the four star Melia hotel in Alicante the previous weekend and this did not come near to its standards in any way.

Plussat:

Miinukset: the price is not the same and breakfast is not included

Plussat: Room was modern, spacious, quiet and clean with good facilities making it a very pleasant stay. The two members of staff we spoke with on the desk were both able to speak some English.

Miinukset: Lack of parking. The car park was full when we arrived and during our 4 night stay we generally returned to the hotel at 8.30-9pm during which time we had to drive around for a while to find a parking space which was usually a 5-10 minute walk away.

Plussat: Comfortable, spacious, clean, good location

Plussat: Breakfast was great, excellent selection, cooked fresh and renewed often.

Miinukset: There was nothing to dislike.

Plussat: We normally stay in a different, older hotel in Cartagena but we decided to try somewhere different. It was extremely stressful getting there, especially when a lady decided to step onto the crossing without looking but the staff were exceptional. Maria Jose was SO CONCERNED FOR MY WELFARE AS SHE COULD SEE THAT I was physically shaking and trembling. I am so very impressed with that young lady, 15 marks out of 10 for her amazing reaction to my plight! Even my Mum couldn’t have done better, she deserves a raise and a promotion or at the very least a HUGE PAT ON THE BACK. What a lovely girl, you are really lucky to have her working for you.

Miinukset: The shower tray needs to be deeper to prevent flooding the bathroom floor and making it slippery for us “ old codgers”!!!!

Plussat: Clean rooms.

Plussat: Siisteys +

Miinukset: No tea/coffee making facilities in the room.

Plussat: Friendly reception and housekeeping staff, close to sights & port. Very comfortable. Very clean. Large clean bathroom. Would like satellite tv to pick up English T.V. applicable to us. Free WiFi was great for the teenagers.

Miinukset: Our family room rate was very affordable but I would not pay more for our family room at this hotel. Mini bar prices too pricey.

Plussat: The hotel was very conveinient for the Port, just a stroll through the streets

Miinukset: Unfortunately, the aircon would noy turn down from high to med to low ?

Plussat: Very good value for money. The staff were excellent.

Miinukset: No complaints at all

Plussat: En mistään erityisesti. Siistiähän siellä oli ja hiljaista toisena yönä, kun naapurit vaihtuivat. Mahdollisuus parkita auto talon "alle".

Miinukset: Henkilökunnan huolimattomuus ja välinpitämättömyys, lähes ammattitaidottomuus vastaanotossa.

Plussat: we were upgraded to the superior Alphonsus XIII

Plussat: Free parking, close to industrial site that I needed to visit, makes a convenient business hotel

Plussat: This is an ideal Hotel to stay in when visiting Cartagena,breakfast was delicious and the staff very helpful.

Miinukset: Unfortunately there was no coffee/tea available in the evening as the restaurant was closed.

Plussat: Underground parking and size of room were both excellent.

Miinukset: Noise from road when window was open. Reception staff standoffish and more interested in talking to each other.

Plussat: All what we needed for a single night stay, on our trip from Malaga to Barcelona. Room was clean. lots of parking space

Miinukset: there was no one at the reception at around midnight and no one could come in to the hotel. luckily someone managed to open for us the emergency door at the back.

Plussat: Autmatkailijan kannalta hyvä sijainti valtaien vieressä ja iso ostoskeskus lähellä.

Plussat: We were the only americans staying at the hotel and the customer service was outstanding even though we were struggling with the language barrier. food was great and rooms were beautiful.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Not much

Miinukset: The beds were on castors and rolled around just sitting on them. The chairs in the room were hard and uncomfortable. The cold meats served at breakfast were uncovered and left at room temperature. Ditto the breads - there were flies buzzing around The fruit available was left there all day (again uncovered) and we had to ask one of the girls to remove two bananas that had turned black No food was available after breakfast until 8pm, and we couldn't even get a drink. We had to buy a kettle and make our own!

Plussat: Clean room, nice bathroom, clean bed

Miinukset: Breakfast with 50 peaple at once is not so good. Breakfst little choice Noisie room during the nice

Plussat: Helpful staff, good service.

Miinukset:

Plussat: staff very helpful

Miinukset: to far from town, nothing to do no pool

Plussat: Hotellilla on erinomainen sijainti bussi- ja juna-aseman vieressä ; ja toisaalta myös vanhassa kaupungissa, jossa kaikki nähtävä on kävelymatkan päässä. Huone oli tilava, kiva ja siisti , sisältäen kaiken tarpeellisen. Aamupala oli myös riittävän monipuolinen. Kahvilasta sai pikkusyötävää koko päivän ja illemmalla oli mahdollista syödä päivän menu.

Plussat: Hotelli on erittäin hyvällä paikalla. Olitpa liikkeellä julkisilla tai omalla autolla. Pää nähtävyydet ja ravintola keskusta kävelyetäisyydellä. Huoneet remontoitu ja hyvässä kunnossa. Aamupala kattava.

Plussat: Hyvä sijainti

Miinukset: Huone voisi olla isompi kahdelle hengelle.

Plussat: Sijainti aivan bussi- ja rauratieasemien vieressä sekä vanhan kaupungin reunalla oli täydellinen! Historialliset kadut alkoivat heti hotellin edestä ja keskusaukiolle käveli muutamassa minuutissa.

Miinukset: Aamiaisella puuttuivat vihannekset ja salaatit, joihin olen tottunut.

Plussat: The staff were excellent good location

Miinukset: Parking area a bit rough

Plussat: Sijainti hyvä

Miinukset: Huone haisi tupakalle

Plussat: The location, near the train and bus station

Miinukset: It would be nice to be greeted by the staff when entering/leaving the lobby (the lift is right in front of the reception, but they never seem to acknowledge your presence, apart from the lady who took care of our check-in.) The atmosphere in the breakfast area is tensed, you better come really early...

Plussat: Fabulous Shower., Great Wifi and Easy walking Distance to most attractions. Parking is very convenient for an overnight stay as there is parking right outside the front door. There is no need to pay between 8.30pm and 9am. We arrived at 7pm and left at 9.30am next morning. Total parking costs were 3€

Miinukset: Only downside, the room is provided with a kettle, but the is no cups, spoons or tea/coffee. Therefore is planning to use the kettle, bring everything else you need for a cup of tea

Plussat: Traditional, very good value hotel ideally situated a short walk from the old town, city walls and modernised cruise-ship harbour. Right next to the bus station and just a few minutes walk from the train station. Smart reception and lift. Our room (324) was spacious with a balcony and good views over the town and hills. The hotel has a very nice, recently refurbished informal cafe/restaurant open to the public - we used it for breakfast and - unusually for us in a hotel - for the evening meal too. Attractively priced set meals produced by a good chef. Also has a more formal restaurant.

Miinukset: The old town is a bit "gritty" - it is in the process of being done up, and part of it is modernised, smart and trendy, but many of the buildings are currently still derelict or demolished. There is a lack of restaurants nearby, though we found the snack bar/restaurant "Ideal" down the street was standard fare at a good price, and the hotel cafe/restaurant is excellent.

Plussat: Hotel well placed near historic centre with good parking. Older hotel but well maintained and staff friendly

Plussat: Room ok

Miinukset: Food.Ordered chickenbreast covered with cheese and l ate some then took aclose look it was grey and had blue written on it. Complained but got little response and still charged .Not happy

Plussat: Everybody was pleasant and very helpful. Nice city.

Miinukset: There were roadworks being carried out at night nearby

Plussat: Quiet at night, staff very helpful and efficient - service in bar good

Miinukset: Bathroom needs upgrading.

Plussat: easy to find, convenient for overnight, friendly staff, clean, quiet,

Miinukset: no smoking rooms. would be better to have some available.

Plussat: Close proximity to city and tourist attractions. Reasonably priced continental breakfast; rooms well equipped.

Plussat: Pleasant view after a room change. Quiet room. reasonable facilities

Miinukset: beds hard, safe at bottom of wardrobe, ok if you are very young. restaurant food not very good. service very average. location is not a very good area, didn't feel comfortable in the evenings to walk around.when we asked for extra pillows at first we were told there were none available. when I insisted they found some!!

Plussat: Viihtyisä, siisti hotelli hyvällä sijainnilla.

Miinukset: Henkilökunnan kielitaito voisi olla hieman parempi.

Plussat: I liked the fact that there were extra pillows in the room. I always have to ask for them.

Miinukset: I didn´t like the breakfast - those buffet heaters do not keep the food hot. The waitress was very helpful, but she only managed to produce marmalade on the 1st morning.

Plussat: well signposted when trying to find. staff very helpful. breakfast now available and ver well priced-

Miinukset: no

Plussat: hyvä, siisti hotelli erinomaisella paikalla

Miinukset: osan henkilökunnasta englannin kielen taito vähäinen, aamupalavaihtoehdot niukat

Plussat: Staff were friendly and helpful

Miinukset: The bar closed in the evening to residents at 11 pm on a saturday night .

Plussat: location

Miinukset: the breakfast (which cost extra) was very poor, a coffee and cake !

Plussat: We chose the area to visit Licor 43 factory, great find. Excellent standards very clean. We didn’t realise the standard all inclusive only runs from 11-7 for drinks but we managed to upgrade to all inclusive plus that took us to midnight.

Miinukset: Only one bar open till 10pm then others opened, could have done with a snack bar between meals dinner was served late 8-10pm

Plussat: My wife and I have stayed at this hotel several times in the past, only for it's location which is close to somewhere I needed to visit. The hotel is basic, but the food has never been very good. It is basically a Spanish hotel for Spanish people and doesn't cater too well for English guests (I won't comment on behalf of other nationalities) . On this last occasion however, the food was atrocious with absolutely no attempt to cater for foreign visitors. Almost no choice, and what was available was cold and unappetizing. It was so bad, my wife had to return home two days early because she couldn't face another meal. I don't believe I will be returning ever again.

Miinukset: Food was atrocious

Plussat: Right next to a fantastic beach. Close to supermarkets and cafes (not restaurants) Spa was excellent Very cheap for what you're getting, so good value.

Miinukset: Staff have very poor English and many notifications are not translated No response to advance email queries (likely because in English) Many paid extras, such as safe keys and deck chairs, although this is how they keep the price low Cleaning staff march into rooms with little warning About 30 minutes walk from any good Spanish restaurants (Asian restaurant next door though) Breakfast coffee and orange juice very poor quality No coffee at all at lunchtime buffet.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: No food available most of the time limited choice no labelling food poor tasting

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: The worse hotel i ever been and i had to pay 105 euro per night.Really old inside root staffs and for sure it doesnt worth 4 stars maybe 2 only because of the location and nothing els

Plussat: Location is perfect. Superb clean white sandy beach. Facilities, swimming pool and outdoor areas are good, and they have a great direct connection with the beach through it's own gate. Includes showers so that you can clean up after going to the beach,

Miinukset: Hotel buffet was bad and overpriced (avoid eating here at all costs). Rooms are horrible and outdated, nowhere close to a 4-star hotel quality standard. They should have been renovated decades ago. We were given a room that did not correspond to the pictures shown on booking.com (4 small beds spread all over the room when we asked for a queen bed - we are 2 adults and a toddler. We were given no apologies or possibility of change). No desk, no sofa, old rusty bathroom. Room cleaning service was below average (wet sand still on the floor). Possibly the worst 4-start hotel we've stayed on in Spain (they're usually much higher quality). Almost impossible to get a parking spot on site.

Plussat: The room was lovely, and we have a beautiful view! Was lovely for relaxing around the pool and on the beach Good drink measurements

Miinukset: Most of the staff couldn’t speak English We were over charged for our room and they wouldn’t listen Full of rude Spanish people and kept staring at us like we were animals or something The all inclusive drink hours until 7pm was bad because we then had to pay for drinks at night The food was OK some days but other times was shockingly bad! You have to make sure you get to breakfast early too or everything is gone. We ate out whenever there was no food or the food just looked to bad defiantly a place for just Spanish people wouldn’t recommend to English and I wish I knew this before booking! Also one of the cleaners kept talking to us loudly in Spanish and every time I said “I’m English I don’t know what your saying” she would then carry on talking Spanish and loud like she’s shouting , crazy women

Plussat: the hotel was ideally situated for walking and swimming, also for catching buses into Cartagena, or the local bus further along the "strip"

Miinukset: there was not much varience on food at breakfast time. if you like sweet cakes for breakfast, ok, the nearest to an english breakfast was a hard boiled egg

Plussat: The beach side location was very good and the full board made it easy to plan meals.

Miinukset: The food was a little similar each day. It should be noted for UK travellers that this is mostly a Spanish area which was great for us but may be not what a UK holiday is looking for. Out of season is very much tailored to the elderly.

Plussat: location was great right on the beach, reception staff were very helpfull the entertainment in the eveing was ok.

Miinukset: the food was warm to cold so we did nor enjoy eating at the hotel.we had to eat out which was not part of our plan when booking this hotel.

Plussat: I liked the food, the pool and the beach.

Miinukset: The bed was awful.

Plussat: Position of hotel, friendliness and efficiency of all staff clean beach and very comfortable.

Miinukset: Car Parking is a nightmare! There were no tea/coffee making facilities in the room.

Plussat: The rooms, food, staff and the beach right next to the hotel. Free parking in front of the hotel.

Miinukset:

Plussat: willing to give me late check-out . Balcony with beach view at early dawn

Miinukset:

Plussat: Very good location...it was on the beach!!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: the outside swimming pool was beautiful and the postition right on the beach was fantastic.

Miinukset: The breakfast buffet was a very poor standard. We requested a cot for our baby when we booked, but when we arrived in the early hours of the morning (flight delay) we were told we would have to wait until the morning for a cot!

Plussat: The location is good, even though it's not central. It's close to many bakeries and grocery stores and the parking is free. The hotel is what you pay for. It's very clean and the staff is friendly. Good air conditioning and decent Wi-Fi.

Miinukset: It's not luxurious but it's ok. The bed is not good. The mattress keeps sliding from the bed and there's only one pillow per bed.

Plussat: Huone oli todella tilava ja siisti. Henkilökunta oli ystävällistä ja puhui englantia. Hotellin edessä oli ilmainen parkkipaikka.

Miinukset: Sijainti vähän kaukana keskustasta.

Plussat: Everything.

Miinukset: No ketle in the room to make a nice cup of te or coffe in the evening, unfortunaly i have to go all the time to d cafè next to the hotel.

Plussat: The staff are always helpful and it's nice that i can have the same room every time i stay.

Miinukset: This time my stay was spoilt by workmen staying on the same floor as me and coming back to their rooms at 12.30-1am making a lot of noise. And i think they were smoking in the rooms as i could smell smoke in my room which made it very unpleasant.

Plussat: Modern and well appointed - bed was great.

Miinukset: The heated pool and spa was cold for a stay in January.

Plussat: Asiakaspalvelu oli hyvää! Edullinen! Maksuton pysäköinti oli ehdoton plussa. Elintarvikekauppa suoraan vastapäätä.

Miinukset: Hotelli noin 3 kilometriä keskustasta ja matkalle osuu hieman huonompi asuinalue, joten varsinkin ilta-aikaan yksinliikkumista kannattaa harkita. Hotelli oli remontissa vierailun aikana, joten siitä aiheutui hieman häiriötä.

Plussat: Staff was really nice and attentive

Miinukset: Hotel is presently updating.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Everything 2nd stopover stay, good location, clean, very pleasant quick booking in

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Staff were very helpful. Very reasonable price for what was avaliable.

Miinukset: I paid extra for a double room, non smoking and we ended up with a twin room, smoking. This also happened to another couple we spoke to and they didn't have any double rooms left. Restaurant was awful. Smoky and food was terrible. Didn't affect us though because we pushed the beds together, ate dinner out instead and had breakfast outside.

Plussat: Friendly staff

Plussat: No, en paljoa pitänyt. Paha maku jäi monesta syystä, pahiten, koska sänky oli h-tin huono

Miinukset: Kysymyksen voisi esittää toisinpäin : "oliko hotellisa jotain, josta pidit?" vastaus on :"Ei ollut"

Miinukset: breakfast was poor.

Plussat: Ease of parking after testing at Cartegena race circuit

Plussat: Free parking, friendly personal? very close to supermarket

Miinukset: Far from the centre and seaside

Plussat: ruoka oli erittäin hyvää ja henkilökunta ystävällistä

Miinukset: hotellin etu piha oli huonokuntoinen ja parkkitilojen puute

Plussat: Hotelli oli siisti sisältä ja huoneet mukavan avaria ja valoisia. Respassa osattiin englantia.

Miinukset: Äänieristys oli puutteellinen. Ravintolassa ei ymmärretty englantia.

Plussat: Reception staff very friendy and helpful

Miinukset: Car parking facilities

Plussat: The hotel was ok - nothing really stood out though.

Miinukset: The noise from the bar filtered up too easily into my room.

Plussat:

Miinukset: they prepared a twin but i booked a double online.they said the website didn't tell 'em anything. however they changed the room after i asked for....

Plussat: price ok service person really good

Miinukset: a little bitte far´away find hair on the bed,,,,and tower do not change for my stay 3 day even it was dirty. no internet in the room and the lobby internet wlane connection was bad

Plussat: The location and staff were amazing. I loved Cartangena and will definitely stay here whenever I am back in town! The location was right in the middle of everything, beautiful view of the ruins, with a fantastic balcony. Rooms are simple but perfect for those looking to absorb Spanish culture. Would highly recommend to couples!

Miinukset: There was nothing I didn't like about this place, it was fantastic!

Plussat: Clean and comfortable with a fantastic location. Good value for money.

Miinukset: A little hard to find. The parking is an adventure.

Plussat: The location was great and so were some of the staff.

Miinukset: It is difficult to find though they did email us the directions best as they could. Even then its a bit hard to find. It's also very noisy. Not in a horrible way but you can hear all of the other guests, showers, bathrooms, discussions construction outside etc.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The location is superb and the rooms are very functional and clean. I loved the little balcony overlooking the Forio Romano.

Miinukset: The building is quite noisy - walls are thin and the water pipes make quite a racket. A kettle in the room and a bar fridge would have been nice, since the cafeteria downstairs was closed.
