ibis Cartagena Marbella Hotel 3 stars

The experience overall was good but there were 2 things I did not like: 1) I cannot leave the air conditioner on while I am out of the room, therefore when I come back to the room, it is very hot. 2) There was sewage water right in front of the hotel, management should have called the city in order to fix that problem because it was hard to go in and out of the hotel.

Excelente

It was what we expected , not less and a bit disappointing not more than we expected for the price. The room is ok just to sleep in and get out to the beach, room service did not disappoint but the bathroom needed a bit of maintenance. Overall experience ok but nothing special.

Hotel is basic but you have the essentials you need, very good price, bed comfortable, good pressure and hot water in the shower, good WiFi, friendly staff, rooms are clean, view over the ocean

The reception team were great. Very helpful and accomodating with requests.breakfast was impacted by COVID restrictions but was very substantial . Hotel is located a short distance from the old town and convenient to airport.

Excellent. A very nice and different experience. Like family ambiance. I. Am.. Very pleased with my stay there come and see It. Yourself. . Best stay for your Buck. Nice and clean rooms very spacious and confortable

The rooms here have no frills, but they do have a safe, air conditioning and television, along with a good bathroom set up. The restaurant is pretty good, as is the small bar located on the ground floor. I felt safe and secure, and I enjoyed my stay there. The staff was very friendly and helpful even though the hotel was fully booked and keeping everyone busy.

This hotel was clean, quiet and the staff was incrediable. It’s located 5minutes from the walled city or a 20minute walk. Step outside and your at the ocean beach. The staff was incredibly helpful. The food was good at the hotel and convenient. Not to mention you could easily get a cab at the front door. For English speaking travellers, staff spoke pretty great English as well. Would stay here again without a doubt. We had a great time!

I've stayed here on several trips to Cartagena. Each time, the staff has been friendly, welcoming, accommodating and the restaurant a pleasure, nice people and tasty food. The hotel is not in the historic walled city, and that is a plus. It's a quick, inexpensive taxi ride to the walled city and the city center or to the boat dock. There's no hotel pool, but the beach is right outside the door. Downtown beaches are crowded, with lots of vendors. Marbella's beach is much quieter, with fewer vendors. And what few vendors there are are friendly and easygoing. I'll be back. One caveat: Cartagena's city beaches aren't the world-class Caribbean beaches you might think. By my standards at home, they're still pretty nice, especially mellow, uncrowded Marbella. The local Caribbean is plenty warm. And you can always take a boat ride out to the Rosario Islands or to Playa Blanca for sugar-white sand and clear, turquoise waters. Check out the Rosarios' aquarium. And be sure to explore Cartagena's rich Caribbean history.

Value for money - rate included sumptuous buffet breakfast. Rooms are clean and modern in the Ikea style. Very functional. Was too far from "old town" / castle to walk to the restaurants at night, so take a taxi.

Ibis as you know it! Very quick Check-in, Personal very friendly, Always Clean and comfortable. Good Continental breakfast. Situated first line to the beach with seaview. Short distance to all places of interest.

Perfect hotel, room is very good and clean, the view from the room is amazing and the people in the hotel are very kind. The location is not the best but is 20 minutes walking from the city center or 8 thousand pesos by taxi.
