  • Are the prices always the same even if the date changes?
    Prices vary based on various factors which may be seasonal, day of the week, occupancy status of the hotel, promotions, particular fairs in the city and more. The advice, to see the prices, is to enter the dates of your stay and make your own comparisons.
  • Is breakfast always included?
    No, it depends on the rate and whether the structure is organized to offer it or not. Check carefully before booking what is included and what is not and what type of service is offered.
  • Can I make special requests?
    Of course, when booking you will have a field where you can write directly to the property and make your requests. These will be evaluated by the Hotel who will respond directly to you. MeTour is not responsible in this decision-making process.
  • What types of beds will I find in the room I booked?
    The type of bed is usually specified in the room sheet. If you have any special requests or needs you can indicate them at the time of booking by writing them in the "special requests" field which will be forwarded directly to the property. In this process MeTour is not responsible.
  • What is Paga in Structural and what are Payment Pre-Authorisations?
    When you book, some facilities offer the possibility of paying directly at the facility. In these cases you will simply be asked to insert your credit (or debit) card to guarantee the booking, but without any charge. The sum will be taken from your credit card only in the cases provided for by the policies and conditions relating to your booking. In other cases, when the Partner does not adopt automatic availability and booking systems, but confirms reservations "manually", then you will be asked to insert your credit (or debit) card to guarantee the reservation, and then be directly charged at the same time as the Partner confirms the booking (within 24-48 hours). At that moment you will receive an email with the booking confirmation and payment.
  • How do I know if my card has been pre-authorized?
    By consulting your credit card balance you will see that your available balance will be temporarily reduced by the amount of your booking. In other cases and depending on the policy of your credit card circuit, you may also find an entry in the monthly summary of card movements: "pending operation". The pre-authorization block, depending on the situation, will be maintained according to the policies and terms and conditions of what has been booked.
  • How can I cancel or change my booking?
    Easy, enter the customer area with your credentials and from there you can modify or cancel your booking. Remember that changing dates or canceling with a refund request depends on the rate you chose when booking.
  • Can I transfer my reservation to another person?
    For this request, contact the property directly which may have a specific policy in this regard or may need further data on the person to whom you want to transfer the booking.
  • How can I get help with my booking?
    Enter the customer area with your credentials and from there you can contact us or by writing through our contact form specifying your booking number and the reason for the contact request. We recommend that you also leave a telephone number where you can be reached in case of need.
  • Are there taxes, local charges or extras to be paid directly on site?
    They are normally clearly indicated in the property sheet or added during the booking phase depending on local regulations or the facility's policies. But even if not clearly indicated, payments may be requested directly to the facility for any tourist taxes, local charges or extras not included in the rate. The advice is to read everything carefully before booking or writing to us through our contact form.
  • Are small pets allowed?
    It is often clearly stated in the property sheet and for this reason we invite you to carefully read their policies. Where not indicated, we invite you to contact us through our contact form for more information.

NO recomendado
-la habitación no es a prueba de ruido o insonorizada, se siente todo el ruido de los pasillos y a las 6am los cubiertos y servicios del restaurante.
-el restaurante es en teoria super famoso y es la peor comida del mundo, cara y desabrida, no tiene sal ni sabor, pedimos huevos benedictinos al desayuno, huevos fritos, arepa de huevo, patatas bravas, nachos de cangrejo, pancakes y todo salio horrible. Para ser un restaurante tan costoso y popular no esperabamos tan mala experiencia.
-los cocteles son los mas basicos que se encuentran en el mundo, cero cocteleria especial, solo pidan mojito o cerveza para q no pierdan mucha plata.
-excelente servicio del staff, el hotel en general es lindo, la terraza super amplia y buena para tomar el sol.
-la habitacion es amplia, comoda pero cero para un hotel de esta categoria.

Nuestra experiencia en Charleston
Nos hemos alojado 5 noches por allí y debo decir que gracias al dedicado servicio del Sr Pedro Blanco nuestra experiencia ha resultado sobresaliente.
Más allá de la cantidad de eventos que suelen tener lugar en el establecimiento, nos brindó una atención personalizada. El desayuno es excelente y muy completo. La piscina es hermosa, se puede ver la puesta del sol y tiene vistas panorámicas. Teniendo las atenciones como las que recibimos de Pedro, realmente uno se queda con ganas de volver. Lo recomiendo. Gracias, Pedro y gracias al personal que nos brindó su amable servicio.
Estimado huésped,
Muchas gracias por su comentario. Nos alegra mucho saber que disfrutaron de su estancia y que el servicio de Pedro Blanco hizo su experiencia sobresaliente. Nos complace que nuestros espacios hayan sido de su agrado.
Agradecemos sus amables palabras y esperamos poder darles la bienvenida de nuevo pronto!.

Experiencia
Habitaciónes calientes, el aire acondicionado no sirve. Van los de mantenimiento y solo miran y no solucionan. Front Desk no soluciona y hay una niña que contesta de mala gana. El Restaurante Harry increible, los meseros impecables, atención de merecer. El mesero Daminzon y Jesus se nota que conocen la carta y solucionan cualquier solicitud. La comida deliciosa, por favor felicitar a Harry al encargado del servicio del restaurante y al chef.
El niño de Guest services muy atento igual que los botones.
Estimado huésped,

Très bon hotel dans la vielle ville
Très bon hotel dans la vielle ville - super "location"!! et on peut visiter la ville à pieds - très bon petit déjeuner, par exemple grande variété de fruits et autres ... - belle terrasse avec piscine / bistro -
.... les nuits peuvent être un peu bruyantes car nous sommes en ville et la musique est un peu forte (air conditionné dans la chambre)

Lamentable service
Une honte ! Un restaurant à eviter ! Le pire de cartagene entre cantine pour le bruit et le service, et 3 etoiles michelin pour le prix… une honte. Le chef et le personnel sont 0. Fuyez, il a tellement de belle table à cartagena.

Très bel hôtel
Hôtel idéalement situé, dans la vieille ville, on peut tout faire à pied. Personnel très efficace et disponible. Effectivement, je confirme un avis précédent : bien se renseigner en amont sur la chambre attribuée, celles situées au 1er étage qui donnent sur le patio intérieur sont bruyantes le soir. Mais ça reste très supportable et le confort est au rdv. Très bon buffet au petit-déjeuner. La piscine sur le toit possède une vue incroyable, on peut y prendre un verre.

Schönes Restaurant im Freien mit sehr gutem Essen
Das Hotel Charleston Santa Teresa ist eines der besten Hotels in Cartagena, nahe der Stadtmauer gelegen. Wir waren hier im Restaurant, in der Gartenwirtschaft. Das Restaurant ist sehr groß, es gibt einen Innen- und einen Außenbereich. Service war sehr nett und freundlich. Essen von gehobenem Niveau. Empfehlen können wir den gegrillten Meeresfrüchteteller und auch den Robalo mit Kokosreis, Patacones (gebratene Bananenscheiben) und Salat. Und als Dessert die Torta de tres lèches.

Pathétique et honteux
Hôtel idéalement situé et lorsqu’on arrive on trouve de suite l’endroit merveilleux
L’accueil est souriant et agréable
Mais attention à l’attribution de votre chambre........
La notre était situé dans un patio privé superbe sauf que la fenêtre de la chambre 102 donne sur le trottoir
J’ai donc immédiatement demandé une autre chambre mais l’hôtel étant complet on m’a demandé d’attendre le lendemain.
Malheureusement bons n’avons pas eu cette chance
En revanche nous avons eu la chance d’avoir dans ce magnifique patio l’organisation d’un mariage de 13h à 18h30
Autant vous dire que si vous voulez faire la sieste et bien c’est tant pis pour vous
Cartagene est une ville où tout se passe entre 17h et 4h du matin et où donc on espère se reposer l’après-midi ( il fait 40 degrés dehors) pour festoyer le soir.
Mais pire encore 😊
Après une super soirée dans la ville et rentrer à 3h du matin, nous avons eu droit dans notre super patio à l’organisation d’un brunch avec une préparation des lieux dés 8h30 😏
Autant vous dire que la grâce matinée vous pouvez vous assoir dessus
En conclusion, si vous voulez sortir un peu le soir et dormir un minimum surtout demandé une chambre dans les étages
Un responsable est venu s’excuser en ou offrant un massage 2h avant de partir !!!
J’ai refusé
Aucun geste commercial n’a été fait sur notre facture
C’est tout simplement honteux et scandaleux
Il y a beaucoup mieux à cartagene et certainement moins cher

Eigentlich ein sehr schönes Hotel.....
Das Hotel liegt wunderschön inmitten der Altstadt. Es ist geschmackvoll ausgestattet und hat einen tollen Innenhof, wo das Frühstück serviert wird. Auch sehr schön ist der Pool auf dem Dach, von dem man einen weiten Blick über die Stadt hat.
Das Fitness Center ist klein aber gut ausgestattet mit Laufbändern, Crosswalkern und sogar einem Power Plate.
Womit wir wirklich ein Problem hatten, war die Feuchtigkeit in den Hotelzimmern. Die Böden, Betten etc. alles war feucht, die Bettwäsche roch muffig. Größtenteils lässt sich in den Zimmern das Fenster nicht öffnen.
Wirklich schade, das Hotel ist eigentlich so schön.
Den Conciergeservice fanden wir such verbesserungswürdig. Entweder war niemand da oder extrem beschäftigt.
Dear Mr. Glueckskind88,

Pleasure to greet you on behalf of team Charleston Santa Teresa.

Thank you for taking your time to write us through different portals. It is great that our guests take their time to let us know about their experience and we know it is the best way for us to improve wherever we need to.

We are very glad you enjoyed our pool, Hotel decoration, and breakfast area. Your wonderful comments are a great reward for our ongoing effort to offer the best to our guests.
As it was explained through your alternate comment, the humidity in the room is most probably due to the condensation caused when the air conditioner is turned off. This happens because Cartagena being located at sea-level with high doses of humidity, whenever the air conditioner is turned off, then our stone and lime walls constructed in the 17th century, start to condense the cold air due to the intense heat and humidity outside.

We will take into consideration our window system for future renovations. We think this is a great observation since the majority of our windows open but some of them have double windows and only one set opens. Thank you again for all of your time. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back very soon.

Cordially,
Natalia Navarro PR

Tolle Lage, freundlicher Service, schoenes Ambiente
Bei Ankunft frueh am Morgen wurde uns zunaechst mitgeteilt dass kein Zimmer frei sei und als wir uns dann entschieden zumindest einmal in dem schoenen Innenhof zu fruehstuecken kam der Oberkellner nach einer Zeit auf uns zu um uns zu sagen dass nun doch ein Zimmer frei sei. Das Zimmer war etwas abgewohnter als man von den Fotos im Internet vermuten koennte hatte aber einen schoenen Blick zum Meer. Weitere Zimmer auf dem selben Flur wurden gerade renoviert was aber unseren Aufenthalt nicht beeintraechtigte und wahrscheinlich zu einer Verbesserung der Zimmerstandards beigetragen haben wird. Abgesehen von dem schoenen Eingangsbereich/Innenhof haben wir auch die Dachterrasse mit dem kleinen Pool oefter genossen. Cartagena ist sehr heiss und die Moeglichkeit sich zwischendurch mal abzukuehlen und etwas zu faulenzen war sehr willkommen. Toll waren auch die Fahrraeder die das Hotel seinen Gaesten kostenlos zur Verfuegung stellt und mit denen man angenehm etwas ueber das koloniale Zentrum hinauskommt. Das Hotel ist vor allem an Wochenenden oft ausgebucht und zum Normaltarif sicherlich zu teuer. Aber mit etwas Glueck findet man Sonderangebote und dann ist es ein sehr angenehmer Ausgangspunkt um Cartagena zu sehen.

Review dated 01 Giu 2008
Sehr nettes Hotel, allerdings muss man auf einige Sachen aufpassen
Dieses Hotel, was bei den Einheimischen meist unter dem Namen Hotel Santa Teresa bekannt ist, ist wirklich wundervoll. Es ist ein restauriertes Kloster direkt bei den Stadtmauern der Altstadt und mit Aussicht auf die Karibik. Das ist eines der beiden Hotels in der Altstadt von Cartagena, die früher ein Kloster waren - das andere ist das Sofitel Santa Clara. Diese Hotel hier liegt aber in einem Viertel, wo mehr los zu sein scheint.

Das Hotel liegt um den Innenhof des Klosters, die Lobby und der Frühstücksbereich sind in der Mitte - unter freiem Himmel mit einem Brunnen in der Mitte. Das ist ein herrlicher Ort - allerdings ohne Klimaanlage - mit großen Bögen in mango-gelb gestrichen und vielen grünen Pflanzen.

Als ich ankam war mein Zimmer noch nicht fertig, daher musste ich in der Lobby sitzen, wo sie mir ein kaltes Bier anboten. Das Zimmer war schnell fertig. Das Getränk war aber eine nette Geste und war sehr angenehm.

Mein Zimmer (Nr. 418) war wundervoll. Es war nicht riesig, aber nett angelegt. Es lag in der Ecke des Hotels, sodass ich einen umfassenden Blick auf die Karibik aus drei Fenstern hatte. Die Bettwäsche war sehr nett, nur die Matratze war härter, als sie in vielen vornehmen Hotels in den USA sein würde - dort ist es eher ein weicher Backstein. Die Böden waren alle aus Marmor. Auch im Badezimmer ist viel Marmor, sogar die Wände sind aus Marmor. Die Dusche war toll. Der Wasserdruck war stark, allerdings ist es etwas kompliziert, die Temperatur einzustellen. Sie wird eingestellt durch ein Duschkopf, der ein wenig wie eines der vier Platten in einem Waffeleisen aussieht. Sogar von der Dusche konnte man auf die Karibik schauen - es gab ein hohes Fenster. Die Bademäntel waren von Frette, Bettwäsche und Handtücher aber nicht. Die Klimaanlage funktionierte gut. Die Angestellten vom Housekeeping kamen mindestens 2x am Tag und machten gute Arbeit; der Abdeckservice beinhaltete eine Blume und ein wirklich gutes Kokosnuss-Bonbon - gute Wiedergabe von Kolumbien und Cartagena, wo es Blumen und Kokosnüsse zuhauf gibt.

Der Service im Hotel war freundlich und professionell - die Angestellten schienen gefallen zu wollen.

Das Fitnessstudio war nett - es ist in einem alten Dachgeschoss in der Kapelle des Klosters, wo der Chor war; in der Kapelle finden heute die wichtigsten Bälle des Hotels statt. Die Maschinen waren neu, auch der Fernseher.

Der Infinity-Pool auf dem 6. Stock war herrlich, man schaute auf die Altstadt, den Dom der St. Peter Claver Kathedrale und auf das moderne Bocagrande. Eines der beiden Hotelrestaurants ist hier oben und man kann hier frühstücken, wenn einem das Buffet nicht gefällt, oder der Zeitplan später ist, als 10:00 Uhr für das Frühstück in der Lobby - beim Pool kann man bis 11:00 Uhr frühstücken. Auch hier waren die Angestellten sehr nett. Es gibt kaum was besseres, als ein Glas mit kaltem Bier gebracht zu bekommen, während man im Pool ist ...

und wenn das Bier dann nur $2,50 kostet.

Das Bier war allerdings das einzig günstige im Hotel, einige Preisen waren einfach nur Raubrittertum. Im Hotel gibt es kabelloses Internet, allerdings verlangen sie $35 für 24 Stunden. Ja, $35. Ich wollte wissen, ob ich richtig verstanden hatte, deswegen fragte ich nochmal. Das ist unverschämt, aber wenn man dann etwas Wasser trinken möchte auf die Überraschung hin, sollte man nicht das Evian im Zimmer trinken, es kostet $8 (hier ist es von Vorteil, wenn man etwas trainiert - Wasserflaschen sind im Fitnessstudio gratis). Nur einige der Zimmer gehen in Richtung Innenhof mit Terrassen, die meisten liegen außen und bieten eine unterschiedliche Aussicht auf das Meer, die Altstadt und den Platz vor dem Hotel. Man sollte vielleicht auch Ohrstöpsel mitnehmen. Der Platz und die Mauern vor dem Hotel sind ein beliebter Treffpunkt am Wochenende und oft wird spontan Musik gespielt. Ein Mal hörte man das Getrommel bis 4:30 Uhr morgens, bis ich die Angestellten an der Rezeption anrufen musste. Am Samstag war die Hochzeit oben auf den Mauern wirklich nett, aber auch die dauerte bis 2:00 oder 3:00 Uhr morgens. Ich glaube, Lärm kann überall in der Altstadt von Cartagena am Wochenende ein Problem sein ...

Das Frühstücksbuffet im Hotel war sehr nett - das Frühstück war in meinem Zimmerpreis enthalten - und der Service war der wie in der alten Welt. Im Innenhof in der Sonne zu sitzen bei einem riesigen Frühstück ist eine der Freuden eines netten Urlaubs. Das Hotel belegt aber auch den Platz vorne für sein Restaurant am Nachmittag und am Abend. Mit Live-Musik und netten Aktivitäten auf der Straße ist dies einer der besten Orte in der Stadt, um die Leute zu beobachten ...

und die Preise für das Bier sind ziemlich günstig ...

ein kaltes kolumbianisches Aguila Light kostet $2,50

Mir hat das Hotel gefallen und ich kann es empfehlen. Cartagena ist nicht billig - die Preise sind fast so wie in amerikanischen Städten - und die Hotelpreise sind auch fast so wie in amerikanischen Hotels. Dieses Hotel machte keine Ausnahme.

Einige andere Tipps für Cartagena: In der Stadt gibt es einige tolle Restaurants, viele davon findet man bei den vielen Plazas und Plätzen mitten in der Altstadt. Das Café San Pedro - mit seinem Schwerpunkt auf asiatischen Fischgerichten und Sushi - findet man hier und auch wenn es innen sehr elegant ist sollte man draußen einen Tisch reservieren (sonst bekommt man draußen keinen Tisch), denn die beleuchtete Kathedrale und was da so auf dem Platz los ist sind magisch. Auch die beiden Juan del Mar Restaurants sind ziemlich gut - das größere serviert teures kolumbianisches Essen/Fischgerichte, das kleinere, Peruvian, ist auf der anderen Seite des Plazoleta San Diego. Auch hier sollte man einen Tisch draußen reservieren.

Cartagena liegt zwar beim Meer, aber die Strände sind nicht toll und das Wasser sieht fragwürdig aus. Man sollte deswegen zur Islas del Rosario gehen ...

ca. 45 Min. mit dem Boot von Cartagena aus. Das ist kein fürchterlicher Tagesausflug, für $80/Person - einschließlich einem Fischgericht und einem nichtalkoholischen Getränk zum Essen - aber ein wenig teuer. Die Strände sind klein und gleichgültig, was einem die Touranbieter erzählen, gibt es dort viele Verkäufer, die einem beim Entspannen in der Sonne stören. Wenn man die Tour macht sollte man zum halben Orange-Strand (Media Naranja) gehen, er ist besser als die meisten der anderen Strände auf der Hauptinsel, zu der man fährt. Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob ich nochmal dorthin gehen würde.

Die Altstadt von Cartagena ist spektakulär, kann aber nach einigen Tagen ein wenig teuer werden. Für einen Ortswechsel sollte man ein Taxi ins Zentrum von Bocagrande nehmen, das ist der moderne Teil der Stadt mit Hochhäusern am Strand. Auf einigen Blocks entlang der San Martin Avenue gibt es Cafés, Geschäfte etc. und man kann dort nett spazieren gehen. Wenn man gebrühten entkoffeinierten Kaffee haben möchte - eine wirkliche Seltenheit in einem Land mit tollem Kaffee - dann kann man toll beim Juan Valdez Café draußen sitzen. Hier machen die Kolumbianer Urlaub. Und auch wenn man nach den normalen Souvenirs sucht - T-Shirts etc. - dann zahlt man in Bocagrande die Hälfte verglichen mit den Preisen im Zentrum. Sogar die Postkarten sind billiger. Bocagrande ist für das Zentrum von Cartagena das, was die Condado-Straße für das alte San Juan ist.

Zu guter letzt noch: Der Zoll am Flughafen ist ein schlecht organisierter Alptraum. Die Warteschlangen sind nicht lang, aber man wartet ewig, während eine Person die Pässe kontrollierte. Und ein weiterer Triumph der schlechten Planung: Das Handgepäck wird 3x von 3 verschiedenen Personen kontrolliert. Cartagena ist ein tolles Urlaubsziel und das Hotel Santa Teresa ist ein wundervolles Hotel, während man hier ist.
