What guests think

Across many reviews, Sercotel Carlos III is praised for very clean rooms, friendly and professional staff, and an enjoyable, varied breakfast, with a convenient walkable location for exploring Cartagena’s historic sights, train and bus stations, and nearby restaurants.

Rooms are modern and generally spacious, with kettles or Nespresso and tech perks like Chromecast, though some are small or face interior patios, and a few guests mention occasional noise or unstable Wi‑Fi. Facilities feedback is mixed: there is no on‑site parking and nearby garages can be pricey, public areas feel limited with no real bar, and several reviews mention dated or jerky elevators, though a small arcade room is appreciated. Overall, expect a clean, well‑run, good‑value base for exploring Cartagena.

Location was excellent. Everything was very clean and tidy. Staff were polite. Spacious room. Great value. Tea and coffee in room was a bonus, however, there was only fruit teas no breakfast tea. Breakfast choice was excellent with a fully stocked Nespresso coffee machine. The only thing missing in the property is a lounge bar, where you could just relax with a drink, without leaving the lovely Aircon environment.

We were very happy with our stay. Good location, room was fine, cleaning and service perfect and friendly. I wasn't sure if breakfast was included, but we were told at check-in that it was and what a treat! Wonderful typical Spanish spread, but also a lot of things if you were not into a tuna tostada.Would stay again! We never found their underground parking, but managed street parking everyday - 3 hours were 2,5 EUR and you can prolong as soon as it is expired.Free from 20.00 - 09.00 and in weekends. But you need to be vigilant about paying (there is an automat and you can do it by app - we only used the automat) as those parking people were circling like wolves. Remember to only use green and .blue parking (marked very clearly) as the red is only for residents.

Das Hotel liegt am Rand des Stadtzentrums, aber dennoch sehr günstig – alles ist fußläufig gut erreichbar. Die Zimmer sind hell, überraschend geräumig und mit großen, bequemen Betten ausgestattet. Insgesamt war der Aufenthalt sehr angenehm. Lediglich der Aufzug wirkt etwas in die Jahre gekommen – das trübt den positiven Gesamteindruck aber kaum.

Ein super Service des Personals und das für spanische Verhältnisse sehr gute Frühstück können leider das sehr dunkle Zimmer und die unserer Meinung nach unsicheren Lifte nicht aufwiegen. Die Lifte springen und ruckeln sehr stark nach. Auch ist die Wartung laut Schild überfällig. Man fühlt sie ch sehr schnell nsicher.

La habitacion amplia y limpia, tuvieron el detalle de poner una cuna bugaboo para la bebé. No probamos el desayuno del hotel. Comparte edificio con el otro hotel de la avenida, de manera que tiene zonas comines reducidas. Como sorpresa tiene una pequeña sala con 2 recreativas gratuitas donde se puede jugar a clasicos de hace años.

Yes, the room was clean. However, there was a stale smell of smoke in the room that the staff did take care of. The staff were excellen - helpful, pleasant and extremely professional. The breakfast was also excellent- a real pleasure I would say. The hotel is also in a really good location, situated as it is right on the edge of the historical centre with everything within walking distance.

El hotel está muy bien, excelentemente situado y el personal muy amable. La habitación es grande y limpia, el único inconveniente es que el colchón es un poco antiguo y suenan los muelles, con suelo de madera limpio. El baño es pequeñito pero tiene ducha, lo que es muy cómodo y también estaba muy limpio. La televisión tiene Chrome cast y Netflix, difícil de encontrar en hoteles de 4 estrellas. Si no le pongo un 5 es por el colchón, lo demás es excelente.

The hotel Carlos III was a short 5 minute walk from Cartagena railway station and about a 15minute walk from the centre of Cartagena and the Roman Ampitheatre. The hotel staff Jose, Andres and Isabel were extremely welcoming and helpful concerning local restaurants and the provision of a map to navigate to the main museums and attractions. Check in and check out were quickly executed. The rooms were spacious and well equipped with every facility to make a comfortable stay including a kettle for tea and coffee. The bathroom was again well stocked and had a warm rain shower. The location was quiet and located just off the Av Alfonso XIII -a busy main road with restaurants, bars and shops. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would choose this hotel again when visiting Cartagena.

The hotel itself was great. The rooms are large and comfortable and the staff friendly and helpful. We were worried about the area when we arrived as it looked run down. Once we explored it was only a short walk to the main areas with lots of attractions and restaurants and the local cafes etc were good. We even found a Michelin star restaurant across the road…. Magoga restaurant is fantastic. Probably the best meal we’ve ever had!
