Beautiful Hotel with Great Location

Absolutely gorgeous hotel with friendly staff and incredible location close to Getsemani, the historic city center, and the port. Did have some issues with the facilities and the hospitality services. Would consider staying again but also would consider an AirBNB or another hotel. Overall, a very good experience.

We loved our stay at Hotel Capellan de Getsemani! The hotel was beautiful, the staff was amazing, the rooms are large & comfortable & the AC works great! Which is a huge plus in the hot & humid weather! You are located right in the heart of things too, so the location is great! You can walk 2-10 minutes and have 100’s a restaurants, stores, etc. at your disposal! We definitely recommend this hotel! 5 stars!

OLD WORLD CHARM AND SOPISTICATION

Elegance sophistication old school charm and politesse are what comes to my mind it was an absolute pleasure and i want to come back! I recommend going up to the roof top pool bar and watching the sunrise. If you’re up early, the breakfast is spectacular and the bar is wonderful cocktails the cocktails are a little bit expensive compared to everything else but they are spectacular. We will certainly be coming back to this hotel and soaking up some more of its charm and historic design.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Wonderful Stay – I’ll Be Back!

I stayed at Hotel Getsemaní Cartagena from July 17 to 20, and everything was absolutely awesome. From check-in to check-out, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. The rooftop pool and views were a great bonus, and the breakfast each morning was fresh and delicious. The location is perfect—close enough to walk to the Walled City and local spots, but still peaceful. I truly enjoyed my stay and will definitely return one day. Thank you for a great experience!

A wonderful experience.

Our stay at this hotel was fantastic. A beautiful old colonial building and now magnificent hotel. Quiet and calm in a busy town. All the staff were friendly and helpful, especially Narem and another young lady whose name I can’t recall. If we return to Cartagena we will definitely stay at the hotel Capellán.
