It is in a great location inside the wall and is in a quiet section at night. Me and my wife experienced one of our best vacations here and can’t wait to go back with friends. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Justin 15 Jun 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great house and service - good enough location I enjoyed my stay at El Candil - its a very well-kept house with nice traditional decor, a beautiful courtyard pool and garden, and a great outdoor lounge/dining area. The service and breakfast were wonderful. WiFi was not reliable but I wasn't too bothered by that. Only downside about the house is that it's across the street from a night club -- Friday night wasn't terrible (I went to bed just fine at around 11:30pm) but Saturday night the music next door was on until 1-2am. This would've been great if I wasn't so tired and wanted to socialize (convenient location) but it could be irritating if you're trying to go to bed before midnight. ##### Justin Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### mar, Canada 4 Dec 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect location, excellent staff! Not only was this hotel located in a great area of town but the staff were as friendly as family. ##### mar Stayed 1 night in Dec 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### CECILIA 16 Nov 2016 Liked: Cleanliness #### Hotel Ubicadísimo El hotel Candíl de los Santos en Cartagena se encuentra extraordinariamente ubicado dentro de la ciudad amurallada, a tan solo unos pasos de la plaza San Diego donde hay restaurantes. Cuenta con una atención excepcional del management y un servicio amable del personal del hotel / cocina (desayuno incluido - rico y tipo casero- ) . Muy buena opción de hospedaje. Se presentó una situación que empañó un poco la estancia al presentarse una gotera a media noche causada por una tormenta (entiendo que son poco comunes pero se presentó) y ya fue reportada al management para que sea corregida para beneficio de los viajeros de esta cyber-comunidad. Tip para tu viaje a Cartagena... renta una bici o scooter para recorrerla ! Es súper divertido y está fácil de hacer. ##### CECILIA ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels near Royal Irish Yacht Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Royal-Irish-Yacht-Club-Hotels.0-l6177765-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Santa Claus Holiday Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rovaniemi-Hotels-Santa-Claus-Holiday-Village.h4399778.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near St Mary's Loch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Marys-Loch-Hotels.0-l6092751-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Pedras do Mar Resort & SPA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ponta-Delgada-Hotels-Pedras-Do-Mar-Resort-SPA.h13249997.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Thermae Bath Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Thermae-Bath-Spa-Hotels.0-l6151658-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Bespoke Inn Scottsdale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phoenix-Hotels-Bespoke-Inn-Scottsdale.h6152687.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with a Bar in Riyadh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Riyadh-Hotels-Hotel-With-A-Bar.0-0-d3051-thotelwithabar.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Pet-Friendly Hotels in Aberystwyth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberystwyth-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d182842-tPetFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Colebrook Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Farnborough-Hotels-Colebrook-Guest-House.h4936794.Hotel-Information) > > [Amadeus Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Venice-Hotels-Amadeus-Hotel.h7339.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Chicago](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chicago-Hotels.d178248.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Mercure Budapest City Center Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Budapest-Hotels-Mercure-Budapest-City-Center-Hotel.h874181.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Muenchen City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Munich-Hotels-Ibis-Muenchen-City.h18736.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Asakusa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Asakusa-Tokyo-Hotels.0-n6048236-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [NOŪS Santorini](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-NOUS-Santorini.h74995380.Hotel-Information) > > [Caravan Parks West Drayton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Drayton-Caravan-Parks.d10519-aaCaravanParks.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotel Las Americas Torre del Mar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cartagena-Hotels-Hotel-Las-Americas-Torre-Del-Mar.h4469515.Hotel-Information) > > [Aparthotels Chicago](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chicago-Apart-Hotels.d178248-aaApartHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Caribbean Village Agador - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agadir-Hotels-Caribbean-Village-Agador-All-Inclusive.h1452729.Hotel-Information) > > [SAVHOTEL FIERA BOLOGNA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bologna-Hotels-Savhotel.h1414706.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Verona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Verona-Villas.d6046582-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Arcanus Hotels Sorgun - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Side-Hotels-Arcanus-Side-Resort-All-Inclusive.h15198697.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Oregon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Oregon.d239.Hotel-Destinations) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Praia da Rocha](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Praia-Da-Rocha-Portimao-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-n4693-0-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Narita (NRT)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/nrt/manchester-to-tokyo) > > [Flights from Sofia (SOF) to Lapu-Lapu (CEB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/sof/ceb/sofia-to-cebu) > > [Flights from LON-All Airports to NYC-All Airports](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lon/nyc/london-to-new-york) > > [Nordic Regional Airlines](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nordic-Regional-Airlines-Flights.cN7.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Liverpool (LPL) to Copenhagen (CPH)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lpl/cph/liverpool-to-copenhagen) ### General > [Visit Dortmund City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dortmund-Dortmund-City-Centre.dx553248633975963957)
