Very helpful staff - in all departments

The location is very good - on the edge of the walled centre and overlooking the harbour. The room was great - large, clean and comfortable. The breakfast was very good - good quality and choice. But the whole thing is supported by a great staff team who were very friendly and always helpful.

Pros: Gute Lage. Freundliches Personal. Modern eingerichtete Zimmer. Sehr schöne Aussicht vom Pool auf dem Dach.
Cons: Das Frühstücksbuffet ist unzureichend und bedarf einer grösseren Auswahl.
Sightseeing in Cartagena beim exzellentem Essen in der Innenstadt. Sehr zu empfehlen ist das Restaurant Perla.
