If you want a good introduction to the colonial styles of Cartagena...sleep there! Had a great time. Rooms (I stayed in the old Colonial rooms) were very spacious, with a two story loft.

Very charming,in the heart of magic Cartagena,it is like being in a Garcia Marquez book,the rooms though are dark and uninspiring,expensive for what you get..nice breakfast buffet and courtyard to sip a tropical drink..Needs some refurbishing..but a charming address.. more

I returned to this beautiful hotel after being there 2yrs ago for a long stay. I arrived on June 18, 2009 and departed on June 30, 2009. What can I say except....excellent!!! I have been in a variety of rooms there previously and on my last stay was in a colonial suite. This time around I booked a suite overlooking... more

My partner and I spent three wonderful nights at the Santa Clara. If you eat at the hotel's restaurant request an outdoor table and feed the tucans! The location was great for walking and the hotel staff were very accomadating. I would definitely stay there again. more

The Santa Clara ia a beautiful hotel with a wonderful location, a terrific pool (particularly if you have children) and comfortable rooms. A very good hotel - not a Four Season, mind you. We stayed for 5 nights over the Christmas holiday and had a fantastic time. Initially we had booked connecting rooms, but it turns out all the connecting... more
