It is a nice hotel, good location, but a former colonial house does not equate a "boutique hotel". That said, staff is friendly and the rooms are spacious and well-tended. There is a small pool in the roof. It is a good choice but nothing too fancy.

I thought this hotel was amazing. I stayed in a junior suite. The room was big, with a beautiful colonial look to it and antique furniture. It had a huge bed which was very comfortable. Most of the staff was great, super friendly and helpful. However, I had to call twice to see if the hotel could send a cab... More

It is not a bad place but not worth the "boutique" rating. Spotty wi-fi and tv service, noisy, room key system faulty. People are friendly though.

Not a great experience for us. We went early, just wanting to have drinks and a bite. No one was in a hurry to greet us, the front desk clerk actively avoided speaking to us...we really felt like we were intruding. Because the weather was so nice, we opted for patio seating. We ordered wine and one plate each -... More

In general my experience in the hotel Bantu was very good, the staff was very kind and even allow us to make the check in at 9 and the room service staff bringed us food and drinks after the area was closed.

The rooms are all spacious and clean(i suggest booking a room on the second floor) with working ACs they are poorly lit and you will have to... More

Noise hotel, share a wall whit a poor discoteque, second floor in wood so if you in the first, have to like to listen steps and suitcases wells, "restaurant" is ridiculous, "pools" is a tub... And staff is unpolite talking at your door day and nigth.... Do not book, use the same money in a real hotel

After a very bad experience in another hotel in Cartagena, we walk all day long looking for a better place to stay. We literally visit all the hotels and hostels in the walled city, just because we wanna make sure to get righ this time. Bantu was our first choice when planning the trip. But, because of a bad tip... More

The courtyard was pretty and the room basic but bright. I especially enjoyed the outdoor shower, which was the detail that really made the room. The staff was not very helpful in advice I sought on exploring the nearby islands, but not many spoke English. In fact, one of the staff members, while friendly enough, told me straight-forward that I... More
