We stayed on the Arsenal Hotel two nights on our trip to Cartagene. This is a small boutique hotel right on the Arsenal Street, in Getsemani neighbourhood. This hotel is straight to the point, it has a reception, aisle with separate doors heading to a semi private terrace with entrance to the rooms. Other than the dining/ reception area (see... More

Small, clean and modern. It's a good option for a quick business trip. Staff is very helpful and price is good. Few clubs and bars right beside could make your stay not as quiet as you may like. Walking distance to the historic center and to the convention center.

I chose this location due to location and price. The hotel is about 10 minutes from the wall city - Cartagena. It is in Calle Arsenal which can be busy during the day/night. We were two females and had no issues walking at night/day but we kept our eyes open. The "chivas" stops here last to drop off people at... More

We stayed here for a few days in June. At first when looking at the hotels around, I found alot of the hotels in Cartagena to be really expensive and not the best reviews. This one looked ok. From outside, the hotel doesn't look like much. But when you go in, it's gorgeous! It's a small hotel with a great... More

I travel often for work and recently attended for a week. I could not help being impressed. The hotel is clean well furnished with friendly staff. It made my experience in Cartagena that much more enjoyable.

This is a very nice boutique hotel close to the convention center, the walled city and other tourist sites. Rooms are big. Free wifi and breakfast is included. The staff provides great service and are very friendly. The only negative is that it is located next to a nightclub which has loud music emanating from it until well after midnight... More

Hotel Arsenal has very large comfortable rooms and the customer service is very good. My only complaints were that at night it was a little noisy from the club next door. The room had a nice balcony, however, the door to the balcony was falling off its hinges when we opened it so we didn't use it. Also, when we... More

This hotel is in excellent condition. It's a 5 minute walk from the Old City and adjacent to bars on Avenida Arsenal (Getsemani neighborhood). Breakfast included is good enough to start your day and service is very good. Wifi is fast and reliable. Surprisingly, despite being adjacent to several clubs and bars, the hotel is very silent. Definitely check it... More

Arsenal Hotel is a great hotel in a good location in Cartagena. Though it's not within the main area of the Walled City, it's near some great restaurants and you can walk to the main areas easily. The hotel is designed in a very modern way and it's very clean, the rooms seem almost like little flats. This hotel comes... More
