Joanna at the front desk was the absolute best. She went above and beyond to help make sure I had the best celebration of my birthday. The rooftop is beautiful and the location is perfect and right in the middle of the old city about a 15 minute walk from Getsemaní. The room was clean and the AC ran the entire time. Rainfall shower heads with hot water availability. I enjoyed the deep tissue massage there and I’d say it was one of the best I’ve ever had. The pool is clean and the food is incredible. I would stay here again no doubt. Joanna en la recepción fue la mejor absoluta. Se esforzó al máximo para asegurarse de que tuviera la mejor celebración de mi cumpleaños. El techo es hermoso y la ubicación es perfecta, justo en el medio de la ciudad vieja, a unos 15 minutos a pie de Getsemaní. La habitación estaba limpia y el aire acondicionado funcionaba todo el tiempo. Duchas con cabezales tipo lluvia y disponibilidad de agua caliente. Disfruté del masaje de tejido profundo allí y diría que fue uno de los mejores que he tenido. La piscina está limpia y la comida es increíble. Sin duda me alojaría aquí de nuevo.

The property is located near a bunch of shops and restaurants. The area around the hotel is very safe, I saw multiple families with children exploring. As for the hotel it’s very clean and has everything you need. The breakfast was included in my stay and that was good as well. They have a rooftop bar that is beautiful, I suggest checking it out even if you don’t stay at this hotel. The staff was wonderful and Nelson gave me wonderful recommendations! If I’m ever back in Cartagena I will definitely stay here again.

Great service! The breakfasts and staff were delightful. Nice that the included breakfast could be taken in dining room or through room service. The breakfast, pool, rooftop bar, drinks alls sunsets are excellent. The room was musty and the view from our room not good. However, the smell subsided and was probably due to the ac being off before our arrival. Super load until the wee hours so pack earplugs. The location is a 5. We stayed 6 nights including NYE and had a blast. I would stay at Movich again.

Do not stay here - scam alert
Be careful if you arrange taxi services through this hotel. They will scam you. Our taxi charge was on the bill, then when we got to the airport the driver was arguing with us saying the hotel didn't pay him. Then when we called the hotel they stated the second taxi charge was from our first driver waiting for our flight the night we arrived. Even though we were in contact with the driver and told him our flight was late and the hotel had the flight number. The hotel also told both of these drivers to come at incorrect times. Also didn't help that the room was dirty and had hair in the shower. The room smells like mold and the AC did not cool below 24 degrees C. Will not stay again.

PLEASE READ. The hotel is fine but check your final bill they give you before you check out. Make them itemize it and have explain the charges. We found “Cashout” and “Payout we never had or authorized. What does this mean? They claimed we asked for local currency and asked for it to charged to our room. We never did this, when we disputed this they were very (a little too quick) to reverse the charges. and got this reversed. This appear and feels a lot like fraud by the hotel staff to us. Plus they said they’d pay for our taxi to the airport. They never did. We had to pay the driver again. CHECK! CHECK! CHECK! You bill throughly. We won’t be staying with Movich hotels again.

Perfect location. Close to many shops, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, and entertainment. Roof top pool is scenic. Staff is attentive. Walkable distance to Getsemaní. 15 min from airport. All of the tours starting point/pick up location was a 5min walk. Mostly Americans stayed here. Staff is bilingual. Rooms are big enough. Bathrooms are spacious. My room did not have a view. The view was the side of another building. The mattress was too hard for me, it made my arm hurt since ima side sleeper. Overall I would stay here again.

Wonderful Boutique Hotel in Old City
The Movich is a really lovely boutique hotel in the old walled city of Cartagena. It feels luxury without pretension, the staff are very helpful and the rooms are spacious, comfortable and with good air conditioning. The breakfasts are really good and its a wonderful location to access the many sites and restaurants in the old city and in Getsemani. Since I was also in Cartagena attending a conference it is an easy walk to the convention center. My only negative is that the hotel rents out the roof bar/terrace for private parties and they are quite loud. While they try to end before 23:00, the guests leaving a very boisterous and not considering of guests in the hotel rooms. The noise does travel.
