Perfect hotel & Perfect trip !!
19 Dec 2021
I just stayed in hotel Zalmedina November29 to december17, 2021. I'm so happy with my choice! I had the best trip. The front desk helped me with everything I needed. The free breakfast was decent and the coffee was good. I was very happy with the room for my entire trip. Excellent view, comfy bed, a safe for my money inside the room, fridge, hot water showers! The tv doesn't have many English channels, but I was happy I could just press the YouTube button and immediately watch anything on YouTube on the tv! I am very satisfied. I would stay here again. The hotel is a 20 second walk to the beautiful beach, and lots of great restaurants in walking distance. I got a lot of beach massages and tried the jetskis. The beach vendors love helping you, but don't let them short you on the time you agree on for massage and jetskis. I was very happy I didn't get a hotel in the city center near the clocktower. The vendors there are relentless asking you to buy stuff because there's the most international tourists there. Zalmedina is definitely so cheap for the quality service, nice room, and location you receive. Thank you for making my first trip to South America so memorable Zalmedina staff! Gerencia Zalmedina, Director General at Zalmedina Hotel, responded to this review Gracias por sus comentarios, nos alegra saber que tuviste una feliz y confortable estadía, y nos motiva a mantenernos siempre en un plan de mejora continua.

Budget lodging in good location
09 Jan 2019
The best part of this hotel is the location. It is right in the center of Bocagrande. You can walk to all shops and restaurants, and it's a short taxi ride to the historic center. Directly across the street is the shopping mall entrance. You can walk throughand access the beach directly on the other side.The room we had was very small, even with just 2 people we had to trip over one another constantly. The aircon was very strong butpointed directly over the bed (as the room is so small there is no other way) you either freeze or turn it off. The bed was comfortableexcept the pillows, though that's a personal preference. The WiFi was excellent and you can hook up a chromecast device and stream Netflix, etc. The bathroom was adequate however there is mildew and rot on the bottom of the walls. As is typical in this area, there is no hot water in the shower. It's not cold but certainly not hot.The breakfast is very simple with some breads and scrambled eggs. For coffee, I preferred to cross the street to the shopping mall lobby where you can get Juan Valdez coffee which I really enjoyed. The worst part of this hotel is the noise. I honestly did not get one good nights sleep. The walls are very thin. I was on the 3rd floor and the kitchen was on the second. There were always people working in the kitchen area all through the night and they make so much noise. Banging things with no regard for guests. There was a guy coughing all the time really loud. We also found the front desk staff to be very inexperienced.

Cozy and very friendly staff

The best location on San Martin Ave. The breakfast is included and has a lot of fresh fruits and juices plus local food. The rooms have wifi internet and are VERY clean. The bathrooms are small, but OK. The beds are very comfortable and you don't really hear any nose from the street traffic. ROSA ISABEL B, Gerente at Zalmedina Hotel, responded to this review Thank you very much for your comments, we are glad to know that you enjoyed your stay at our hotel, this requires us to provide a better service every day ...

just what I needed
18 Mar 2018
I was just down for a week of service work with a group from the US. The rooms were clean and had all the amenities we needed, the location was excellent, and the staff was friendly and accepting of my broken Spanish. Room was not huge but in a city like Cartagena you shouldnt need to spend too much time in your room. Air conditioning cooled room down very fast. Would definitely recommend to someone looking for a economic and comfortable place to stay
