This hotel is very cozy and well located closed to everything. The hotel is antique so the rooms tend to have a strong “old” smell. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was fresh made and delicious.

The room that was assigned to us was very old and smell bad. We had to talk with the manager asking for another room. It was not fair to have paid a high price for a horrible room just for one night.

Great staff, super friendly. Very helpful and the room and facilities are clean and well kept. Only thing I would say needs improvement is the shower, water isn’t hot and the kept getting clogged. Breakfast was also great.

An average place with a great staff!
Was my first trip to Cartagena and Colomia. I booked this hotel online. In all my travel, it is confirmed that you get what you pay for (or don’t pay for). Pros: Friendly and helpful staff. The team goes above and beyond to help the customer. Also has a great breakfast spread. ideal location to Walled City and easy to get to the ariport. Cons: Hotel is very average. It requires a lot of maintenance. The rooms felt straight out another era, but not in a good way. The lighting was dim, there was a strange odor permeating through the corridor and the room. The furnitures and fixtures did’t feel like it had been cleaned in ages. I think they just need to be replaced. For me the challenge compounded when the AC in my room started making some real loud noise. The hotel staff were helpful in getting me to a different room so I could get some sleep. But it was very painful to go through that in the middle of the night. Finally, the hot water was practically non-existant. I ended up taking a shower in near cold water. Also the WiFi was very weak. The signal was better if I was in a certain part of the hotel or the room. Otherwise, even a simple access to Google.com would take minutes to load, or crash.

Overall good but let down by the breakfast choice
The breakfast is not good and if you arrive one hour into service the food is cold and a poor selection as food is not replenished

Nice hotel with rooftop jacuzi
I stayed 2 nights here. Great location - a 5 minute walk from the beach. There was a rooftop jacuzi with hammocks. The breakfast was a buffet, but you also had a choice of eggs - scrambled, omlette etc., I thought it offered excellent value. Very welcoming and extremely helpful staff.

Charming
This is quite a nice little hotel with a great Italian restaurant. The included breakfast was excellent. The rooms were a bit on the small side perhaps, as noted by other reviewers, but in this price range hard to find better anyway. Room size was adequate. Location is good. The hotel's artwork and antiques add to its appeal.

Central location, but that's about all...
I had to endure a very convoluted process just to cancel my reservation. The room that I booked was nothing like i imagined. The hotel canceled 5/6 of the nights left on my reservation, but getting that done was like pulling teeth.

A decent hotel in the tourist area
The hotel is located in Bocagrande, the tourist district in Cartagena. However, the WiFi connection is really poor in some areas of the hotel. The jacuzzi closes extremely early. Finally, communication between the staff is really poor. As is often said, "left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing."

Hotel San Pietro
The staff was very friendly and spoke decent English. So if I needed help with anything the language barrier was not an issue. They provide transportation to and from the hotel witch was helpful. A/C and Wi-Fi worked great. The hotel is located 2 blocks from beach and there are many places to eat near bye. I would recommend it to family and friends. They have a pretty good restaurant down stairs too.
