Good location but noisy
The location is good, close to the walled city, easy to navigate from but it’s extremely close to Havana Cafe and on a noisy street. While it’s proximity to Havana Cafe is good for navigation, the music can be heard until 3am. Plus the cars and people on the street make for a noisy room. I was on the front, possibly quieter in a different room but earplugs are a necessity. Breakfast was very good, service was very good however little English is spoken. The night person who checked me in spoke English but no one else I encountered did. Not a failing at all, just for your information. Everyone was very pleasant, very kind and courteous, and this is a safe guesthouse, they lock the front door with someone at the desk to let you in.

Great Location/ Staff
I would like to thank the staff of Casa Mary for being so accommodating and understanding of my fear of cats. I'm used to cats being in people's homes not hotels. I should have done my research more. Otherwise everything else was great. Breakfast (as everyone has noted) was great. Beds were comfortable. Above all else, location location location. Hopefully the construction next door does not go on for very long for the folks that want to sleep in after partying across the street at Cafe Havana. I hope your new neighbors will be as kind to you as you were to me.

Casa Mary
We had our reservation at Casa Mary but when we arrived they informed us the bathroom of our room had just broke so they relocated us on a near by sister hotel. They were supper kind and apologize for the inconvenience. The hotel that they put us in is called Torre Reloj, and tho it wasn't as nice looking the location was unbeatable, it's right in the main plaza. Overall, a good place to stay (if you're not looking for fancy)

Not bad, but there are better places to stay.
I must preface that my perception of Cartagena is clouded by the wretched humidity. With that said, the hotel isn't bad. Three of us stayed in the room and the room was pretty bare-bones looking, but had all the amenities we needed. Even though the positioning of the beds were somewhat odd, they were comfortable enough to get good rest. The room came with a TV, a fridge, a small closet, and a safe (I don't recommend you using the safe, money disappeared from it while we stayed here. Just lock valuables in your bag or suitcase). The room had tile flooring which added to its aesthetic bareness. The bathroom was a good size with a big shower. However, there is no hot water in the hotel, but with 90 deg. temps and 80% humidity, you aren’t going to want hot water to shower with. The hotel has a patio on the rooftop that overlooked part of the city. The breakfast was simple (four options to choose from), but delicious and we enjoyed eating there each day. It's located near the walled city, and half a block of Cafe Havana. It also next door to a delicious pizza place I highly suggest. It's also located near a church plaza where everyone gathers and night and is littered with restaurant and food vendors.

Comfortable room but they're not all the same size. Personnel was generally unhelpful in matters pertaining to tourist interests. Didn't have effective problem solving skills. Not very knowledgeable.

Getsemani gem
Great place to stay in the funky Getsemani neighborhood without breaking the bank but still within easy walking distance of the old town. Different options for the included breakfast is nice to have, but go elsewhere for coffee (great place 2 doors up). Air conditioning in rooms is a welcome reprieve from the humidity and heat.

It is well located if you want to be inmersed in a typical colombian neigborhood. The staff is really nice specially the lady that prepares the wonderful continental breakfasts offered by the house. The rooms are small but comfy. Very satisfied.

Cute place, with a good price for Cartagena. Close to the walled city. A perfect location if you're going out to Cafe Havana salsa bar. Very clean. The room was small but I was travelling alone so it was alright for me. The safe in the room didn't seem to lock. I was glad the A/C worked well.

Muito bom!
A pousada é muito boa e acolhedora. Fica localizada no bairro Getsemaní, a somente 600m da entrada da cidade murada. O bairro possui bons restaurantes. Nos deslocamos tranquilamente a pé para a cidade murada, o Castelo de São Felipe de Barajas e para restaurantes. Fica no mesmo quarteirão do Café Havana. Ficamos num quarto amplo e bem limpo com boa cama de casal e um sofá cama. Possui frigobar e cofre. O quarto parecia ter sido reformado a poucos dias. No chuveiro somente água fria, mas você perceberá que a água quente não faz falta. O café da manhã é suficiente. São oferecidos 5 opções e todas acompanham uma entrada de frutas. É diferente de um buffet, mas foi suficiente. Os funcionários são bem prestativos e nos ajudaram muito.
