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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 11 Feb 2020 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Boutique Hotels in Split-Dalmatia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Split-Dalmatia-Boutique-Hotel.0-0-d6050109-tBoutiqueHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Renaissance by Crystall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Atyrau-Hotels-Renaissance-By-Crystall.h1500850.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Weston Under Lizard](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Weston-Under-Lizard-Shifnal-Hotels.s50-n3000413513-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Splashdown Waterpark](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Splashdown-Waterpark-Hotels.0-l553248621532491071-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [SunBlue Apart Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marmaris-Hotels-SunBlue-Apart-Hotel.h19130113.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Phuket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels.d6046393.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Aparthotels Durban](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Durban-Apart-Hotels.d1073-aaApartHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Albufeira Main avenue - WALK TO OLD TOWN & OURA STRIP & BEACH - 2 BEDROOMS ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Albufeira-Main-Avenue-WALK-TO-OLD-TOWN-OURA-STRIP-BEACH-2-BEDROOMS.h34168068.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Airport Transfers in Malcesine](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malcesine-Hotels-Hotel-With-Airport-Transfers.0-0-d500112-thotelwithairporttransfers.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [TUI MAGIC LIFE Calabria - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pizzo-Hotels-TUI-MAGIC-LIFE-Calabria-All-Inclusive.h31833066.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near CairnGorm Mountain](https://www.expedia.co.uk/CairnGorm-Mountain-Hotels.0-l6088697-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel The M’s Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-The-Ms-Kyoto.h61628354.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Creteil](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Creteil-Hotels.d4790.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [B&B Saint-Malo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saint-Malo-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d500649-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels near Reculver Towers and Roman Fort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reculver-Towers-And-Roman-Fort-Hotels.0-l553248621532509156-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Star Land Hotel Bonapriso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Douala-Hotels-Star-Land-Hotel-Bonapriso.h15568425.Hotel-Information) > > [Don Daniel Apartment](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Benalmadena-Hotels-Don-Daniel-Apartment.h35092043.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Emirates Paisley (GLA) to Narita (NRT) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/emirates-from-glasgow-intl-to-narita-intl/ek/gla/nrt) > > [Flights from Ulceby (HUY) to Wick (WIC)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/huy/wic/hull-to-wick) > > [Flights from Toronto (YTZ) to Niagara Falls (IAG)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ytz/iag/toronto-to-niagara-falls) ### Cars ### Packages > [Chessington Equestrian Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chessington-Equestrian-Centre-Chessington-North-and-Hook.d553248621561941212.Attraction) ### Holiday Rentals ### General ---
