About
Hotel Cartagena Premium
Hotel Cartagena Premium sits on Avenida San Martin, roughly a block from the beach and about a 20-minute walk from Pegasos's Wharf. The 140-room, 3-star property keeps things simple: a restaurant, bar, outdoor pool, and a sun terrace. Rooms come with air conditioning, and the higher floors get views over the ocean and bay.
The location does most of the heavy lifting here. You can stroll to Bocagrande's beach or walk into the Walled City, and a supermarket is just a block away. The hotel runs a business centre and meeting rooms, while the rooftop pool is where guests tend to linger at sunset.

In brief
What works, what to weigh

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Value for money is weak — The Value rating sits at 5.8, and several guests felt the experience didn't match the price, with some calling it out directly.
- Inconsistent room conditions — Humidity can leave a lingering musty smell, and some guests noted no hot water, no bathroom ventilation, and limited storage space.
- Dining and comfort score low — The restaurant and general comfort receive the lowest ratings (5.7 and 6.1 respectively), though some guests enjoyed the food.

6.5Worth it for location and views, not for luxury.
