Oz Hotel Cartagena

Breakfast - simple breakfast with warm foods and different breads to choose from. combination of "American" and Colombian. we are generally easy eaters and this was good in our book! Room - very spacious for the rate we paid! We had a king bed and a twin in the room. This was plenty space for 2 people. Location - Bocagrande is a bit further so we ended up taking a uber (less than $10 USD) to the center for the city walking and boat tours. This worked fine for us since we were only there for 2 days. The neighborhood is fine for a local stroll, but you will find tour guides selling to you, other hotels, some local business. Definitelly more shopping at the city center. The beach is about 3 blocks away and while it looked nice, we chose to do the island hopping where we found the waves were much calmer. There are plenty of pharmacies in that one-block radius if you get sunburt or need other meds. We also did a hair blowout at a location around the corner and the price was $40 USD for a wash with adFded exfoliation shampoo and style. Taxis were around $25000-30000 colombian pesos to/from airport.

Bed was comfortable and room was clean. Property in general was nice and clean as well. Breakfast was good. The staff were absolutely amazing. Everyone was really nice and helpful, including reception, housekeeping, bell man, and all the wait staff - they were all great. If I had an issue - they were right on it. At one point my air conditioning was not working that well. I told the hotel reception and someone was at my door by the time I took the elevator up to my room. I would definitely stay again.

Upon arrival we received a welcome drink and an upgrade to a better room. It was better and spacious for us. The room was always clean and tidy. We even received a voucher for lunch or dinner. That was really kind of the hotel. The hotel is located in Bocagrande , there are a lot of restaurants and shops. It’s save to walk around and have a nice lunch or buying souvenirs. Breakfast was good. Several kind of bread, scrambled eggs, Cornflakes etc.

Excellent hotel with excellent staff. The location is always great as it is within a 1 minute walk of a few drug/convenience stores and a few restaurants (So be sure to pick up a couple bottles of water for your room refrigerator). Be prepared that only a few of the staff members speak English but it's sufficient to get you to your room. The beds are firmer than I personally like them but I still slept well. I don't typically go to the beach but if you're interested the beach is a few blocks away from the hotel, about a 5 minute walk.

Charming and welcoming staff, clean hotel with hot showers and cool AC. Lots of breakfast choice. Good location near beaches, able to borrow a beach towel. 10/15min taxi to Getsemani or centre of town. As with the rest of Colombia, staff speak very little/no English so learn Spanish beforehand and/or befriend google translate.
