A solo 5,6 km del aeropuerto, Hotel Casa Gloria ofrece una terraza en la azotea y una excelente ubicación a cinco minutos en coche de Puerta del Reloj. Podrás bañarte en una de las 2 piscinas al aire libre, antes de terminar el día de la mejor forma, en la bañera de hidromasaje. Una piscina al aire libre y una piscina infantil son otras de las instalaciones destacadas, y las habitaciones de este bed and breakfast boutique ofrecen toques agradables como bañera de hidromasaje privada y ropa de cama de alta calidad.
Ventajas: Perfect location in scenic old-town, delicious breakfast included, pool and jacuzzi available at all times, and incredibly helpful staff (special thanks to Juliet). Two adorable talking parrots, too.
Desventajas: Nothing. This hotel was great.
Being objective, I would say that this hotel boutique is more like a 2 star. When I spoke to the manager about the lack hot water and cable signal she said that Hotel Boutique Gloria is an old house adapted to function as a hotel, so piping, room area, etc. are all made to optimize bed allocation. We were offered room upgrade but we didn't accept because the water issue was not solved within 12 hours. Imagine, in Cartagena having 30 degrees Celsius it is very important to take shower at least once a day. Also we were charged a non refundable fee in advance but when we saw how small was the room and started to have issues we decided to ask Priceline for help to get a refund for the second night. However we were reimbursed $6 USD less than what we paid due to banking fees. Which I totally disagree. Even though staff was courteous and accommodating, the hotel and its facilities are more like a hostel type. The manager said that they don't assign stars; and that star rating is based on comments and ranking. Priceline helped us to move to a nicer hotel, one star less but a huge difference. In summary, when in doubt go to a reputable chain.
Ventajas: Location
Desventajas: The room was very small. It was advertised as a 4 star accommodation but I would argue a 2 star max. In addition the room had no hot water for shower neither cable signal. The night before we stayed in a 2 star that had better services and breakfast.
