Amazing location and the walled city is a 5 min walk. The rooftop pool was refreshing after a long day in the sun and overall had a great stay at this hotel. Even though the room was booked for 2 ppl and considering it's a vip room, we had to call for extra towels and toilet paper as the room was prepared for 2 person. Some stuff didn't work in the room like the bedside lamp but that didn't impact my stay. Didn't try the restaurant on site but the staff were very helpful and the room was perfect for relaxing after being in the sun all day. Again, amazing location a few steps away from the busyness of the city but still extremely close to the action. One street over. Would definitely stay here again.

Overall good experience. Rooms are a little on the smaller side and they can be stingy with the towels.

Great location, steps from the Cartagena convention center. The rooms are modern and clean, although small so they lack a table or desk where to work from. Great food and the best customer service!!!

Location was perfect - short walk from the main center of old city, less noise and better price! The pool was amazing. I only ate breakfast a couple times at hotel, but seemed robust. My only challenge was very few people speak english, so a little hard to communicate. Especially when housekeeping kept taking my towels and not replacing them. Would go back again though!

The GHL Arsenal Hotel is located overlooking the bay area and is within walking distance of everything Cartaenga has to offer. The marina, the Walled City, and the lively streets of Getseme are a 4-minute walk! The hotel itself is lovely, modern, and clean. The rooms themselves as well as the bathroom are on the smaller side but modern and clean. There is a yummy little restaurant on the premises in which I only had breakfast. A delicately displayed buffet offers a variety of foods and fruits with more options to order from the menu. The outdoor pool overlooks the marina of boats coming in and out from the country’s beautiful islands. The poolside ambiance is chill with good music. This hotel has a cool, serene vibe that contradicts its vibrant life outside its doors. The street itself is not noisy but as soon as you walk around the corner, it’s surely action-packed. The hotel’s staff is friendly, helpful, and quick to respond to customer requests. I recommend using their concierge to book excursions versus dealing with the vendors yourself. They will arrange everything directly for you, which is great. I highly recommend staying at the GHL Arsenal Hotel, wonderful hotel and service, and the location was beyond ideal! Quiet which I appreciated and steps away from all the action!

It was located right by the convention center, easy to find and very convenient to walk to both Walled city and Getsemaní area. Breakfast was fantastic with many choices and friendly staff, rooftop pool with bar was absolute bliss. It was just perfect.

The bed was hard, woke up with back pain every day. The single room was tiny, with no table or chair to sit at. The only place to sit was the bed. And barely luke warm water in the shower, never warm enough, and never hot. Good location though. I would stay there again if the bed could be improved, and if there could be hot water in the shower.
