Wonderful stay at Hotel Bantu
17 Sept 2026
We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Bantu. The location was centrally located and we were able to walk to everything we wanted to see and do. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were small, but was not an issue as we didn’t spend much time in the room. The highlight was the rooftop pool. We spent a lot of time there — the views were lovely and it was an unexpected bonus for us! We also enjoyed the breakfast that was included. Overall, we had a great stay and would certainly stay here again on a future visit to Cartagena!

Nice base in Cartagena
09 Apr 2026
We really loved the hotel Bantu. The room was large, the hotel staff friendly and very helpful. They smiled like they genuinely liked working there. Nothing was too much trouble. They recommended some very good restaurants to us. We didn't have a bad meal the whole stay. And the location was perfect for sight seeing and going out in the evening to eat. But although the old town feels reasonably safe daytime or evening, be aware that outside the walled city, is another matter. It is very rough out there. We were disappointed with the hotel for organising a trip for us to Playa Blanca and Playa Tranquila, about an hour away by bus. These are very basic beaches lacking running water and any good standard of facilities and they are best avoided, although the people the hotel organised it through tried their best to give us a good experience in difficult conditions. Not up to the standard we would have expected of a hotel otherwise providing a very good standard of service, which the Bantu does. The swimming pools at the hotel are both small but OK for a dip in the evening in quite pleasant surroundings. We would use the hotel again if we came back. The breakfasts are basic but perfectly OK. They will make you a decent omelette. And the Colombian coffee there is very good. Good coffee makes or breaks my holiday! And ignore all the internet rubbish about being followed around constantly by hawkers and rappers. It is no worse than Greece. A polite "no thank you" and they leave you alone. We almost cancelled our holiday reading about that and we are so glad we did not. The hotel has a security gate into the building which is manned all the time and you never feel unsafe there or in its surroundings. Yes you can dress up nicely, wear some jewellery and carry a nice bag when you go out in the evening. Just don't flaunt it and you will be fine.
