This hotel is like a 2 star hotel or highway motel. Pretty basic service. The box springs are very old and dirty so you do not want to look down there. Clean bed sheets. Old bathroom, poor decorations. Breakfasts are good. The internet works fine. Good air conditioner.

I stayed at Hotel Playa in Cartagena for 4 nights in February during my Colombia tour. The hotel lobby is bright, clean and well-maintained as evidenced by the workers I witnessed daily making adjustments here and cleaning up there, etc. The breakfast is good & included in the room fees. The people serving your breakfast are super nice and helpful... More

My girlfriend and I were there for a few days last October. She is disabled, and uses a wheelchair for ambulation. The hotel had all the necessary accomodations for her, but above all, the staff was extremely helpful and supportive in regards to her needs. They were very warm, cooperative and always willing to serve her (us) for any need.... More
