Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No on-site parking listed — The property does not advertise parking, so travellers arriving by car may need to make separate arrangements.
- No pets allowed — The hotel doesn’t accept pets, which may rule it out for those travelling with animals.
- Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in runs 15:00–23:59, so late arrivals after midnight may need to inform the hotel in advance.
- Distance to some sights — One guest noted the Walls of Cartagena are a bit of a walk away, so it’s not right on top of every attraction.
