We were really happy with our stay here. We had a twin room which being on the corner of the corridor was possibly bigger than the majority. It also meant we had 2 windows (onto the corridor) but it meant that the air circulated a bit better. Room 201 It was extremely humid, but that was due to the weather,... More

Situated close to the city center, Casa Baluarte is a charming place to discover Cartagena. We had two rooms in the upper floor, one pretty small with air conditioning and a 3-bed-room with a lot of space. Don't expect luxury in the rooms but cleanliness. There are several cosy places to relax like a beautifull patio with a big mangotree... More

On a friends advice, we stayed outside the walled city in Cartagena in Getsemani (Only a 7-8 mins walk from the centre). The area itself is lovely, but the street - calle media luna, is where all the hostels and bars are, and it gets very loud and noisy. The B&B itself in clean and pleasant. My broth and I... More

My review would have been better, however due to a miscommunication on their part I almost ended up with no place to stay for one night. Luckily I resolved that issue and found a much nicer hostel for less around the corner. But when I went back with a Colombian friend to translate and try to rectify the issue they... More

nice hotel, great location at 10 minutes of the city center and many bars and restaurant around, nice helpful and friendly people. Rooms really small, but clean and with A/C. Casa Baluarte is perfect for a short stay

We walked in to Casa Baluarte because we were first sitting in their cafe, looking for another accomodation as we did not like our hostel at all. We could not see any rooms because they were fully booked that night, but for the following night it was fine. We agreed because the patio looked really clean and nice and the... More

Nice hotel in a great location, City center is 10 minutes walk, many bars and restaurants around, try the breakfast in Cafe lunatica. Very affordable option if you want A/C room. The rooms are small but clean, no wifi signal in room but better in common areas. The staff was freindly and helpful

3 nights in double superior room at COP 120000 per night. Double bed and aircon. Weak WIFI signal in room but fine in other areas including attached cafe. On 2nd level above lobby. Bathroom functional but definitely a tight squeeze. Daily clean. No hot water which can sometimes be fun when you have aircon. Room was OK but not overly... More

After a terrible experience at Hostal Santo Domingo, I got a room for only 50 000 Pesos at Casa Baluarte and that was such a relief. A clean, beautiful traditional house with all comodities wifi included given on a quiet patio. The staff was extremely nice and helpful and they kept my luggage a whole week in their locker. Highly... More

A gorgeous hotel. We booked a room with two single beds and a fan but it was excruciatingly hot so we asked for an a/c room for the next two nights. Unfortunately, they only had a room with a double bed in and it was quite small. The hotel is located in a great area - lots of bars and... More
