7.6Verified guest“The location was fantastic, very central and convenient. We got an affordable, exceptionally clean king room with a brighter bathroom as a nice upgrade. The staff, from the housekeepers on the 10th floor to everyone else, were super friendly and excellent.”
7.6Verified guest“The location was marvellous, just a 5-minute walk from the old town remnants. Breakfasts were astonishing with fresh juice and hot milk for coffee, I couldn't have asked for better.”
7.6Verified guest“Hotel Stil is excellent value for money. In a town where a meal can easily set you back twenty dollars, the free breakfast buffet is a budget saver. The air conditioning worked, which is a must in Cartagena.”
7.6Verified guest“The property was modest, but the staff were particularly helpful, especially the housekeepers on the 10th floor. I thoroughly enjoyed the stay. It was very central, which is what I wanted. Had nice snacks at Bozha Cafe Bar, right next to the hotel.”
7.6Verified guest“Internet connection issue.”
7.6Verified guest“The location was good with quick access to the historic centre, the fortress, and restaurants. Even though the website said a third bed or cot for our child wouldn't be possible, one phone call was all it took to arrange it. The air conditioning was effective and silent.”
