One of the best hotels I have stayed in. Very lowkey, but also primed with amenities. The whole ambiance of the place screams relax. Can’t wait to go back.

10/10 Exceptional

Encantador. Cerca de todo y a su vez alejado del ruido. Zona colonial antigua divina cerca de restaurantes buenos y no muy lejos de getsemani tampoco. (Se puede ir caminando). Varios espacios comunes amplios y hermosos, decorados con gusto y calidez, en un ambiente auténtico colombiano. Personal muy atento. Desayuno muy rico. Habitación suite amplia linda y cómoda. Recomiendo evitar las habitaciones que dan a la calle. Y atención en la elección del hotel con los espacios comunes en planta alta o baja. En el caso de Bantu cuenta con hermosos espacios comunes y pequeña pileta en planta baja y planta alta. Pero el calor en planta alta hace menos factible el disfrute de los espacios. Priorizar en la elección del hotel! Bantu es perfecto!

An extremely comfortable stay in a lovely colonial property which has very interesting features. It is well located in a beautiful street but also very quiet and relaxing. Some of the staff speak English and all of them are welcoming, helpful and friendly.

Beautiful hotel on a quiet but perfectly located street. The staff were super friendly and accommodating and the entire property was extremely clean, tranquil, and quiet. Our room was very spacious, with two queen beds and a high ceiling — and excellent air conditioning! The Netflix was an added bonus :)

8/10 Very Good

Great location, great staff and a little oasis in the middle of Cartagena. My only slight was that we didn’t have hot water for the shower. As they found a slightly larger room so we could fit in a cot, I was still appreciative and happy to overlook. Thanks for a lovely stay.

This hotel was perfect for us. From the minute we walked in we felt welcomed. All the staff are so pleasant and amazing. I was there for my birthday and they surprised me with a delicious cake and song in my room. It felt special. The hotel is beautiful and so relaxing. Breakfast was delicious and there were many options but the typical Colombian food was our favorite. The location is perfect and you can walk to just about all the tourist attractions and great restaurants. We will definitely be back soon.
