We stayed in Estelar for three nights in January 2013. The rooms were OK, clean and spacious, but not cosy whatsoever. The AC was too cold, eg when set at maximum (30 Celsius) it would be still freezing cold in the room. Not sure what's the reason but bedding and other fabrique in the room felt dump. Breakfast is very... More

A standard 3star hotel. Don't expect charm or attention to detail; you will not get it here. My room was clean with a good bed, hot water (90% of the time), and a solid AC. They have a very small (approx. 1 meter deep, 6.5 meters long, 3.5 meters wide) but clean pool. The staff is kind, well-meaning, helpful and... More

First of all, the previous review that talks about 3 pools, a specialty restaurant and shuttle service is incorrect. It must be a review of another hotel because the Hotel Estelar Oceanía does not have any of those amenities. Just came back from an 11-night stay at the Hotel Estelar Oceanía. Overall, I think it's a very adequate mid-level hotel... More

This hotel was very nice on the whole, but here are some pluses and minuses: Plus side first: Hotel had three nice pools--- one for kids, one was a quiet pool, and one had the usual dj trying to be a rapper, which was odd since nearly everybody staying at the hotel was 40+(maybe Russell Simmons was going to stay...

Unless you want to pay for a "4 star hotel" which is really a 3 star one, but with an overall experience of less that a 2 star stay... stay away. I almost never write bad reviews about any place, because my tolerance leve is quite high and don't relly care about little details. I'm not a picky client either,... More

Out of the 10-12 hotels I know in Cartagena, this is a top 5 overall pick! Why? Great deal and value. It's not a 5-star hotel, but you have the comfort of a 4-star for the price of a 2 or 3 star place. that's it! I went with my wife but spent one of the two nights on a... More

Just got back from 11 nights at this property, which could not enjoy a better location in a quiet area of Cartagena, next to the Hilton. The property itself is extremely nice. The rooms are huge and the hotel is extremely clean. If they would only take care of a few problems, my review would be totally different. Number one... More

The hotel was generally very good. Getting a taxi into the city was really quick (and even cheaper when one of the staff negotiated with the drivers before we went out) but it did make the area a little noisy at night (earplugs worked fine). The room was quite big (and the bed was definitely the biggest I’ve ever seen).... More

The room was is good condition for the price and we had one of the few views of the water (across the street). The low-rise hotel is next to and near towering high-rises. Small pool. So-so breakfast. Beaches in the area are not good, perhaps a little ugly, so don't come here for beach time. Next time, I'd stay inside... More

We had a good stay and everyone was very nice at the hotel. We were surprised to learn that Ms Belkis Torres, a front desk clerk gave us a price for everything higher than the other front desk clerks. We are convinced that she is running a scam of the hotel's guests. For example a city tour when another receptionist... More
