Hotel Don Pedro
























After much research and discussion with a seasoned travelling sponsor, I booked a reservation with the Hotel Don Pedro.

Info. One main requirement is that it has to be within the historic walled city!:

"Hotel Don Pedro De Heredia is situated in the historic center of the city of Cartagena. It has an outdoor pool, and offers air-conditioned rooms (much needed) with marble floors and flat-screen TVs.

Rooms at Hotel Don Pedro boast rustic décor. They include antique wood furnishings and traditional beamed ceilings. Each room comes equipped with satellite TV, free Wi-Fi, (great) and a minibar.

In the morning the hotel serves an American-style breakfast. There is also a roof-top terrace where guests can relax in a lounge chair, and enjoy panoramic views of colonial architecture and the city.

Hotel Don Pedro De Heredia is located less than 2 miles from Cartagena Harbour and La Popa. The staff at the tour desk can provide information on museums and other local attractions."


Although I don't plan to spend to much time there, I wanted a place that has reasonable rates, has a shuttle to the airport, internet accessibility, a multi-lingual staff, good reviews, and is in a safe location. This hotel seems to have all of above and then some.
