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!

Truly one of the best stays of our lives and we have stayed in hundreds of hotels. The staff, the breakfast, the room, and the dream like quality of the colonial houses made us feel we were in Paradise! 5 Stars at least!

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 :)

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.

Great location.
Great location. In walking distance to food and entertainment. Great staff especially German. I hope he is appreciated. He’s an asset to Bantu. Great continental breakfast. Lots of choices. Great service. No ceiling on the bathroom shower, so you’re exposed to all the elements. It rained a lot while I was there , so rain came in. The mini bar/frig is well stocked. Nice pool, but I didn’t use it.

I will preface this review by saying I ultimately cancelled my reservation and did not stay overnight. Upon arrival around 4:15pm I was told my room wasn’t ready as they let a large group have late check out (check in time is 3pm). I was asked to wait 30 min so I sat in the lobby. As I waited a very large group came in and half were escorted directly to my room. After 45 min of waiting I had to request an update from staff who seem to have forgotten I was waiting. I was then taken to a room by a busboy without being told room number or given the key. When he realized I didn’t have a key, he left to retrieve it and that’s when I looked around. The room was tiny without any windows. The door to hallway was beautiful but did nothing to block out sound and the nail in the coffin for me was that the bed was wet when I sat on it. When I alerted the staff member he tried to explain they used some spray on the sheets but either way a guest should not be given a room with a wet bed. At this point there were enough things flagging that I decided I would be more comfortable somewhere else. When I told staff this and requested a cancellation they tried to offer a different room and then a different hotel in their network all together. I appreciated the gesture but after all the waiting I didn’t want to play musical hotels and decided to return to another hotel I had previously stayed. I think perhaps this hotel could be good if you are younger or want a more hostel like environment.
