#1 of 9 hotels in Getsemaní by Axel's take. Getsemaní is #1 of 6 places to stay in Cartagena. The best hotels in Getsemaní, ranked · Where to stay in Cartagena

Axel's take: 8.8/10

A strong social base in Getsemaní, but not a quiet hotel escape. A social boutique hostel with private rooms and dorms in Getsemaní, scored for what it is.

The Casa Baluarte listing now corresponds to Los Patios Hostel Cartagena, a boutique hostel with private rooms and shared dorms—not a conventional 3-star hotel. It’s a strong pick for travelers who want company alongside comfort: Expedia and Booking.com guests repeatedly praise the cleanliness, welcoming staff and organized activities. The Getsemaní location makes exploring on foot easy, while the café, coworking areas and rooftop bar give you reasons to linger.

The main compromise is noise, with recent guests describing music and terrace activities carrying into bedrooms. Some rooms face internal corridors or patios rather than outdoors, so daylight and privacy vary. The rooftop water feature is described by the hostel as a Jacuzzi; don’t expect a proper swimming pool. We’d choose it for a sociable city stay, but skip it for early nights or a quiet couples’ break.

  • Best for: Solo travelers keen to meet people; Friends exploring Getsemaní; Private-room guests who enjoy hostel activities

  • Watch out for: Music and social-area noise in bedrooms; Some rooms lack outside-facing windows; Hostel setup, not full-service hotel amenities

  • Location: Central Getsemaní, within walking distance of the Clock Tower, restaurants and nightlife.

  • Rooms: Private rooms and dorms; guests praise air conditioning, but some rooms are dark and poorly sound-insulated.

  • Cleanliness: Consistently strong guest feedback across Booking.com, Expedia and Trip.com.

  • Service: Warm, helpful staff and activity organizers are recurring highlights; confirm arrangements for late arrivals.

  • Amenities: Café, coworking spaces, rooftop bar and Jacuzzi, plus daily activities; Expedia lists no elevator.

  • Fees and surprises: Check breakfast inclusion; Hostelworld lists a refundable cash towel deposit for dorm bookings.
