Cockroach infestation
23 Feb 2026
Our stay began on a positive note. The property is attractive, and the staff was welcoming upon arrival. We were offered a paid upgrade to an ocean-view suite, which we accepted.Unfortunately, shortly after settling in, we noticed small cockroaches in the room. On the first day, we saw a couple. While concerning, we initially tried to be understanding. However, the issue persisted into the second day. At that point, my husband expressed serious concern and suggested we consider moving to another hotel.We chose to remain for our final night since we were departing the following day. However, when we returned from our activities on the third evening, we encountered a significant number of cockroaches in the room , approximately 8 to 12 visible at once. This was clearly beyond an isolated occurrence and suggested a larger infestation issue.We immediately contacted the front desk. By the time staff arrived, the insects had retreated, but the experience itself was extremely distressing. We were transferred to another room, though this occurred at the very end of our stay.When we requested to speak with a manager that evening, we were informed none was available. The only compensation offered was reimbursement for a short taxi ride (approximately $5) to the nearby boat departure point, which did not address the severity of the situation. The following morning, we were told the manager was in a meeting and were asked to submit our concerns via email. We did so and have not received a response.While the property has potential and the staff was generally polite, the presence of cockroaches in an upgraded suite ,especially in those numbers , is unacceptable at any price point. We hope management takes this feedback seriously and implements proper pest control and customer service follow-up moving forward. , Owner at Estelar Cartagena de Indias Hotel y Centro de Convenciones, responded to this review Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We are pleased to know that your arrival and the initial attention from our team were positive; however, we deeply regret the situation that occurred in your suite.Please accept our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience caused. What happened does not align with the standards of quality we strive to uphold.Your comments have been forwarded to management and the appropriate team for immediate review and the implementation of the necessary corrective measures.sincerelyCarlos Diago HeilbronGeneral Manager

Modern, stylish Hotel with breathtaking views
02 Feb 2026
The hotel was absolutely fantastic! It is worth paying a little extra to receive sea view, but honestly the views are BREATHTAKING wherever you are - at the rooftop pool, the restaurant, the Skybar or even the lobby (which sits on floor 15). The rooms were very clean, modern and spacious. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. The old town is just a 20min walk (or 20min drive) away. Overall, I can highly recommend this Hotel if staying in Cartagena. , Owner at Estelar Cartagena de Indias Hotel y Centro de Convenciones, responded to this review Steve,Thank you very much for sharing your experience.We are pleased to know that your stay was satisfactory and that our service met your expectations. We would be delighted to welcome you again on a future visit to Cartagena.Carlos Diago HeilbronGeneral Manager

Not a 5 star hotel
21 Jan 2026
Fantastic view, great breakfast, excellent location. Also very noisy room, as in we could hear the people snoring next door, loud music a few doors down, and lots of activity in the hallway. Wouldn't let us check out with charging us again for the room. Took a month to get our money back. Elevators didn't always work. We had to go down a floor to get on in the morning. There are better options for less.

Location and view of the ocean was Great.

I thought the room and hotel was good. The view of the ocean was amazing especially in the morning. The staff downstairs particularly Melissa who was very pregnant at the time was also very helpful. , Owner at Estelar Cartagena de Indias Hotel y Centro de Convenciones, responded to this review Terrell,Thank you very much for sharing your feedback with us.
