Nothing. All was great.

Super cute and clean little hotel run by the KINDEST couple and staff. They speak a little English. Safe area near all of Getsemani. 18 min walk across town to far side of El Centro. Wonderful breakfasts (eggs/toast/ fruit/coffee). Beer, water etc available at hotel. Cute rooftop (jacuzzi plunge pool only). Great AC in room. Housekeeping offers to come by everyday. Safe in room. I couldn’t figure out how to work it (I could have asked but didn’t) so we didn’t use it and all our items were untouched when we returned after room had been serviced. Felt very safe. Windows in the rooms only look out into interior atrium but was still cute.

Everything is perfect. I have no complaints.

The best part of the property is the people! This is where you want to stay for an authentic and comfortable visit to Cartagena. It is a safe neighborhood and the premise is guarded excellently with cameras, a metal gate and 24 hour reception. The breakfast is delicious and the owners are two of the kindest people I have met in this world. I arrived with motion sickness from my flight and they worked hard to get me into a room early to lie down. Then went above and beyond by bringing me tea to my room free of charge from the kindness of their hearts. PLEASE stay here and support local business!! For the girlies- it is so cute for pics, the AC is amazing and there are big mirrors to get ready in. You simply turn a block and las fiestas are there for you. Or you turn another block and a calm Caribbean restaurants awaits you. Thank you patio Gestemani💗

Nothing! It was as described and expected.

This is a lovely small family run hotel in a fantastic location in Getsemani. They were able to accommodate a double and twin room in our booking (which a lot of places couldn’t) and were very friendly. We didn’t spend long at the hotel but it was all comfortable and cool and they made fresh breakfast for everyone. Would recommend.

My only suggestion would be to maybe move breakfast to the roof top, as maybe that would help prevent noise from travelling from the foyer to the rooms.

We loved staying at Patio de Getsemani for our first time in Cartagena! Leo and Esperanza were such lovely hosts - they stayed up late for us after we arrived from the airport quite late, they gave us lots of tips and advice, and provided a really lovely breakfast. They were so welcoming and were very friendly and warm despite our poor spanish language skills. We loved the area - very interesting and fun streets, including lots of nice cafes and restaurants, the Sunday morning local baseball game, and it felt very safe. It was a nice walk to the centre of town too. The room was also very comfortable - the aircon was a blessing given the heat and humidity, the bed very comfortable, and the shower refreshing (no hot water necessary).

It is not a 5 star hotel and the amenities reflect that. The bathroom room was really small.

The staff was amazing and so helpful. Leo and Amy and Esperanza made the stay so good. The location is excellent, right on the outskirts so not as noisy but close enough to walk safely through Getsemani and the old City.and to Fort Filipe. I would definitely stay there again.

Nothing - everything was great

Absolutely delightful little hotel ideally placed in Getsemani for exploring locally and the walled city just 5-10 minutes away on foot. Rooms very clean and comfortable & breakfast was excellent - fresh fruit followed by scrambled eggs. The main standout is the owner and the staff, Esperanza, Amy, Alba & Leo. They are simply the kindest and friendliest people you could wish to meet and who can’t do enough for you. Very highly recommended

No negatives really! Only thing is that the wifi wasn’t as strong in my room, but that could have been my device’s issue and not the hotel.

The staff here are amazing. They went out of their way to be welcoming. They made the experience with their hospitality. The rooms are simple, but very clean. The AC works great. Iron and hairdryer were available upon request. The breakfast was simple and delicious. Very thankful for the vegetarian options everyday! Location is great and close to everything. About 12 min walk to the walled city. I felt very safe at all times as a woman traveling alone.

Not much .

The hosts, the employees are so friendly and accommodating they make you feel like the place is your home. The place has a rustic charm. I am vegetarian and they went above and beyond to make delicious breakfasts. The location is fantastic to walk everywhere and it feels very safe. The people at this hotel make it very special . The view on the rooftop is beautiful of the castle and the monastery and so nice to watch all the birds whilst chilling after the heat of the city .

There's the heat of the ac coming to the center of the hotel, and with cartagena weather was a lot of heat, rooms were nice and the bathroom doesn't have an air vent straight to the outside is goes out through the room

Location, and staff, rooftop view is nice

Stayed in May 2025

Not clean (towels and blankets were dirty!), no warm water (check out your emails since this is not stated in the description), disappointing breakfast (no buffet - just a tortilla with onions and potatoes + bread and butter), 24hrs reception is a scam (we had our taxi booked at 5am and nobody was there - all closed and we run the risk to loose our taxi)

Terrace Location

Nothing.

Location is ideal to be close to all the action, yet a bit further. Still noisy at times, but you know this if you choose to stay in Getsemani. The staff is amazing and so helpful. It felt like a home.

I liked everything.

Where do I begin? This property was absolutely amazing!! The staff was outstanding!! The property was spotless!! I enjoyed the breakfast in morning(fresh fruit) as well.

Stayed in April 2025

My room didn’t have a window to outside but the rooftop made up for that. And cool showers but again because of the heat it wasn’t a problem. I loved my stay and would come back again.

Location, the rooftop terrace and cute little jacuzzi pool for cooling off in after a hot Cartagena day, the view from the rooftop and the lovely people working there. I felt at home. The breakfast was nice and a great way to share travel experiences with other guests.

There is nothing you won't like if you see looking to experience authenticity

The Colonial style atmosphere of this little hotel was intimate and friendly. It was a short walk to everything in the older part of the city
