Hotel Holiday Inn Express di Cartagena

Three things lowered the grade for this hotel: location, dining, and poor wifi. Be warned, this Holiday Inn on Manga is not near the main spots. Getsemani is about a 30-minute walk and Bocagrande is a car ride away. The hotel is located in a business district within sight of the port and the cruise ship terminal. While it is quiet and very safe, you'll be walking or taking taxis to go anywhere interesting. The hotel's restaurant only serves breakfast. You are on your own for lunch and dinner. There are a few restaurants about 10 to 20 minutes' walk away. They do have a small store where you can buy snacks and drinks, but nothing substantial. I'm not sure if this is the result of Covid, but it can be a problem unless you eat while you are out. I found the wifi was hit and miss especially on the floors below reception. This hotel's reception is on the 10th floor and the rooms are on floors below. I understand the internet in Colombia is barely 10 mb/s, but it would seem more nests might be the solution to help boost the signal. The Good The staff are very friendly. They are very nice and welcoming. The general manager takes time to chat with guests and introduce himself which is a practice I have rarely seen in hotels. There is a small swimming pool on the 10th floor with views of the city and the flight path to the airport which is on the other side of La Popa. It would not take much for this hotel to be a great hotel. An express lunch or dinner on offer would make things better. It is clear that this hotel caters to a business demographic, but it will do in a pinch for tourists, especially if you won't want to stay in the party zones.

Bardzo dobry hotel blisko plaży jak i starego miasta. Pomocna i niezwykle uprzejmą obsługa w recepcji. Wyśmienite śniadania z mnóstwem owoców i bez ograniczeń. Takich śniadań w całej Kolumbii nie mieliśmy przez 2 tygodnie. Basen na dachu czynny również późnym wieczorem. Malutki minusik za brak wody pitnej w pokoju, ale chyba w Kolumbii nie ma takiej tradycji. Gorąco polecam ten hotel jak sieć Holida Inn. Wielokrotnie korzystamy z tej sieci na całym świecie I nigdy nie było problemów.
