Hotel Capellan de Getsemani

We had a wonderful stay at Capellan de Getsemani! Beautiful, luxurious hotel all around including rooms, restaurant, ambiance, and pool/rooftop. We would stay here again next time we visit Cartagena. The service was excellent across the board. Everything was very clean and well maintained. Location was walking distance to the old city and the port for boating tours as well as various restaurants and shops. Nataly and Rey provided excellent service throughout our stay. My massage with Wendy was fantastic. Overall highly recommend this hotel.

I really wanted to love this hotel. I really did!They have a stunning courtyard, some beautiful public spaces and the staff are so lovely and caring. But there were just a couple things I couldn’t get over during my 4 night stay. ||I guess it’s the architectural style, but the rooms are extremely dark. Super tiny windows, no natural light, very little interior lights and it was quite hard on my elderly parents who already have poor eyesight. ||Secondly, was the street noise. While you’re extremely central in Getsemani, it means you’re gonna hear the crowds, music and party buses—especially on the weekends. It eventually dies down past midnight. But bring earplugs. ||Lastly is the layout of the room. We opted for the Jr Suite which has lots of space—but it’s not well used. It’s just a big open room that’s simply not functional, and they kind of plopped random furniture around. Maybe it’s meant to be “charming” but the decor and layout of my Jr Suite was different from the Jr Suite my parents were in. Also, there was no desk area in my Jr suit which made it very awkward to do work. In retrospect l, I would opt for the Superior room w/ jacuzzi instead which (although smaller) utilizes the space much better.

I absolutely loved my stay at Hotel Capellán de Getsemaní. The location is perfect—just steps away from the best parts of Cartagena yet still quiet and relaxing. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout my stay. Service here truly goes above and beyond. The team consistently checked in to make sure I had everything I needed, and their kindness made my trip feel even more special. Beautiful rooms, excellent service, and an unbeatable location—I highly recommend it!

Excellent accommodations on Calle de Sierpe! Very kind and accommodating staff. The included breakfast was delicious and we also enjoyed the rooftop pool. Comfortable rooms - highly recommend!

The hotel is beautiful and we loved the location in Getsemani directly across from Parque Centenario, which reopened 23 Dec 2025. Nataly and Narem were extremely helpful and took excellent care of us. We enjoyed our massages and the rooftop pool. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. ¡Muchos gracias!

The hotel is impeccably clean! Wonderful and experienced staff and always serving with a smile. We stayed in the suite and the room was wonderful and the beds and bedding were most comfortable. The rooftop and pool were an added bonus.

The hotel is so beautifully designed, and the staff are all quite friendly. The old town is not too large, but the location is still very convenient and central as well. To be honest, I wish my stay was longer. Thank you Hotel Capellan :)

Very beautiful hotel located in an interesting and fun neighborhood. Booked it through American Express fine hotels which I have booked many times my biggest complaint is I was on the third floor and the elevator was not working. I am a 72-year-old gentleman with a disability, which is a broken neck. A staff was very condescending about me having trouble negotiating the stairs every time I wanted to enter her exit in my room, they were 21 stairs per floor.
