Hotel Bantu By Faranda Boutique, a member of Radisson Individuals

Great location right in the old walled city! Rooms were surprisingly quiet as ours was on the second floor in the back after walking through the courtyard. The bathroom was outdoors which was interesting! The shower completely open to the sky, but was good sized and clean. The bed was very comfortable and the hotel was clean. We only stayed one night before a very early flight home, but I wish we had stayed here for longer and would definitely stay again if we come back to Cartagena!

We stayed 3 nights at this hotel in a room on the ground floor next to the swimming pool. Our room was large and had great air-conditioning which was really nice since Cartagena is quite hot and humid. The bed was comfortable with a number of different size pillows to use. Instead of a closet, our room had a wardrobe which worked fine for us and contained the in-room safe. The large bathroom was unusual since part of it (the section that included the claw foot bathtub) was open air. The showerhead was a rain-style and mounted on the ceiling so nice and high. Face cloths were provided along with towels. The rooftop of the hotel has two smaller pools, a bar and both sunny and shaded lounging areas. We ate breakfast each morning in the atrium of the hotel which always had plenty of tables to sit at. The breakfast options were fairly good with a number of hot items that changed daily. Eggs made to order could also be ordered from the kitchen. We enjoy drinking tea with our breakfast, and the hotel ran out of black tea after the first morning, but that was the only issue that we had during our stay. The hotel has a great location within the walled city and within easy walking distance of the Getsemani neighborhood, a grocery store and many restaurants and bars.

We had a large family of 14 people stay 7 nights at this hotel and we all had a wonderful experience. The location is perfect within walking distance to many great shops and restaurants. I felt very safe at all times at this hotel. The staff here really went above and beyond for us during our stay. The breakfast every morning was fantastic. The pillows were amazing. The AC in the room was nice and cool. Every corner of this hotel oozes Cartagenas charm. I would definitely stay at this hotel again and would not consider staying anywhere else.

Wonderful hotel! The rooms were very comfortable (bedding, size and temperature). Breakfast is including and had a lot of options. Staff is very kind and helpful, made us feel right at home.||Located close to many restaurants and historical sites. Easy to navigate around the area. ||Will definitely be coming back!

This is a very nice hotel in the walled city. The rooms have all the amenities and the beds and linens are comfy. The breakfast is good and the service exceptional. There are two pools. There is no restaurant in the hotel.||The neighborhood is filled with restaurants and bars. There is a grocery store and ATM nearby. There are huge squares for people watching. It is an interesting and inviting place.

Overall a very solid hotel with very friendly staff. The water temperature in our shower would only reach lukewarm, not hot. The hot tubs were also not on at night, but other than those two minor inconveniences, it was a great stay that I would recommend to someone looking to stay in a very convenient, yet quiet area of Cartagena

The pillows are very comfortable, the staff is very kind and helpful. Breakfast was light, but included many options. The roof top pools are very pleasant. The menu prices are very reasonable. The soap in the bathroom smells very good. Would stay again.

The hotel was clean, the staff was kind, and the location was excellent. Giovanni, especially, made the trip wonderful; as he was not only nice but extremely helpful throughout the entire trip. I would come back here again (although I think their shower could be a bit better).
