Hotel Virrey Cartagena

Excellent

The property was ok, no more no less. The hotel is a two-story colonial style building without elevator. The lack of an elevator could/should have been added to the property's description, just so potential guests can choose between booking there or moving on to another property. Our booking included two rooms and we were split between first and second floor. We requested a 2-bed option for one of the two rooms. At checking, staff reported to being unaware of our request for two beds and "did us a favor". We were accommodated in a "triple": this meant one full size bed and one single bed. Upon our insistance we were lodged on the same floor but on different ends of the building. We have experienced similar issues when booking with Expedia, that specific requests are not passed on to the hotel company & the hotels are not communicating/responding to specific requests.--- Wi-fi is very poor, either at the lobby or on the 2nd floor. The hotel is a bit noisy: bedroom doors are hollow and noise from early risers and late comers make it challenging to enjoy a good sleep. The cleaning staff starts very early and the sounds of buckets, keys, and related sounds are the equivalent to a wake up alarm sound. --- The bedroom, aside from a large hole on the closet door & a discarded mattress outside our bedroom window, had adequate space, comfortable beds, a quiet and cooling air conditioner, and good water pressure. The hotel has lots of opportunities to improve its condition.

You had appeared to be clean

Staff were extremely pleasant. Room was ok but not as comfortable as I would have liked. White towels were dingy and free breakfast was not very good.

Cute. Great staff
