First I would say the pictures are amazing because it doesn’t look like this in person. It looks rundown and old. They didn’t want to give us extra towels to and they tried to scam us to pay extra since the towels were dirt. However nothing was on the towels. If you’re on a budget get an Airbnb before coming here. Also only one person speaks English FYI.

While the staff was really nice and accommodating this hotel is very out of date and needs a complete makeover of all the rooms . The only thing that worked in my room was the tv and AC. Other than that I had no fridge , no microwave or anything else that said would come with accommodations. Also nothing is given to you at this hotel not even a bottle of water ! Nothing was provided in the room except for a bottle of champagne that we had to pay for . Although I had these issues the staff was very nice , especially the doormen and Darwin and his partner at the pool bar . This is truly a “ you get what you pay for “ kind of hotel , while it wasn’t the best I would still give it a 6/10 . While it wasn’t very accommodating, the staff was pleasant and the hotel was clean.

You get what you paid for kinda vibes. If you chose the all inclusive (how I did) you get three choices of alcoholic drinks only from 11-6pm. Mini fridge didn’t work in our room and it was not stocked like other typical all inclusive. Everyone was nice and friendly. We had to pay for early check in which was no problem but our all inclusive didn’t start until 3pm. I saw one roach in the dining room. Overall everything is walking distance.

Excellent service. The food could have been better, but that was related more to my need for soft and unfried food. I was in Cartagena for dental work. We loved the view from the pool. All of the staff were extremely nice and helpful. I look forward to returning and possibly staying in the same place, perhaps next time with a better view of the ocean, since it is everywhere.

While the staff at Hotel La Gran Via in Cartagena, Colombia, are friendly and welcoming, the overall experience falls short of expectations. The food leaves much to be desired, often undercooked and flavourless. There are additional fees for basic amenities like water and coffee, that can quickly add up. The rooms, while passable, show signs of wear and could use maintenance. The beds and pillows are uncomfortably hard, leaving you to feel exhausted even after 8 hours of sleep. The safe in our room did not work. The shower head did not flow properly and would flood the floor every time we would use it. Also, the power went out several times during our stay. Additionally, the Wi-Fi is practically non-existent, making it challenging to stay connected. The pool area is disappointingly small, limiting relaxation options. About 12 chairs for the entire hotel. Often times you are waiting for one family to leave so you can sit down comfortably. Overall, while there are some positive aspects, the hotel's shortcomings make it a mediocre choice for accommodation.

Special thanks to Mariana, Angie and Sandra for everything you do for us!!! The hotel is a little outdated but for the location off the beach and close to everything it’s a great deal. We are definitely looking forward to staying here again in October.
