I was afraid to stay at the Hotel Costa del Sol after I had read comments about it being a 'dump', but I gave it a try. I always want to see things by myself. After my stay I honestly thought the comments were extreme and it looked like there was a vendetta to damage the hotel's image or that... more

I have visited Cartagena many times and this was the first time that I stayed in the Costa Del Sol. I absolutely loved the location. It is just across the road from the beach. I have traveled to many beach locations in my life but I have not found a hotel that met my expectations at such a reasonable price.... more

I stayed at the Cartagena Costa del Sol with my family from 6/10/08 to 6/17/08. We rented 3 rooms in all. You will have huge regrets if you stay at this Hotel. I don’t know where to begin, as there is so much wrong with this Hotel. I should have read and believed all of the negative the reviews here... more

The sanitary authority of Cartagena should revoke this hotel license. This hotel welcomes you with a terrilbe urine smell at the desk and a crappy elevator. When I get to my room (1425) I killed 3 coackroaches, then i went to the desk and asked for a room shift. They showed me 2 other rooms (all in different floors) and... more

We got a GREAT deal for flight + hotel to Cartagena from Bogota but now we realize we got what we paid for. Costa Del Sol looks more than decent in the catalogs and ads but what a facade! I agree with the rest of the reviews with my main complaints being: - NO English speakers, not even a little... more

Attention Travellers! Do not book the Costa del Sol in Cartagena Colombia. If you like clean surroundings, a safe balcony and comfort this is not the hotel for you. This hotel was $100 USD per night gone down the drain. My partner and I refused to stay there. It was the worst hotel I have ever seen in my life.... more

Our hotel stay here started off with a "switch and bait" scam where the hotel first showed us a nicer, more spacious room and then, after we had paid for 4 nights up front as required, were moved into a smaller, uglier room. The TV wasn't working due to a broken cable. So the hotel sent up two clueless employes,... more

Im trying very hard to give them the benefit of the doubt, but seriously this hotel is no good. We found ourselves in a situation where we needed to stay in Cartagena for two nights and we couldnt find any other vacancies other than this hotel. Now I know why. To begin with the air conditioning doesnt work until about... more

No tengo queja alguna del hotel, si bien no es 5 estrellas, me parece que no desmerita. En el check... more
