The people were nice, welcoming, and helpful. The breakfasts were hardy and the room was simple and clean but where this place really shines is in the location. It’s in the middle of the action, with restaurants just a few blocks away and the streets lined with bars, yet our room was silent and —with the windows closed— pitch black throughout the day and evening. Air conditioner worked great as well! A great place to land, especially as we’re getting over jet lag.

It was not the most updated property I’ve ever stayed at but the silence and location made it well worth the price

Great location - a few mins walk from everything but on a quiet street. Our room was back from the road also - there were no proper windows but that didn't bother us, meant it was nice and quiet at night. Air conditioning was excellent and very welcome! Breakfast was delicious with slightly different things each day to change it up slightly. Staff were friendly.

The shower was meant to have hot water, warm water and then room temperature water, but both the hot and warm were too hot to stand under, so could only have a cold shower. Thankfully it's so hot in Cartagena that it was nice to cool down!

The location is perfect! Just a couple of blocks from the center of Getsemaní a happening area in Cartagena. Although is only a couple of blocks from the action, the street where Zana is located is quiet allowing to have a good night sleep. The staff is SUPER friendly, they get you anything you need, they call for reliable transportation, they suggest great places to eat and see, they serve a wonderful breakfast and keep the entire place spotless

The room was a bit small but no major complaint for the price I paid. This is a place to stay for smaller budgets and it met all my needs.

Zana Hotel Boutique is a lovely hotel in the old historic walled city of Cartagena that is within walking distance of all the key historical sites of the city as well as being close to many key beaches and close to the port for boat tours. It is also close to many key cultural areas of the city and close to many wonderful restaurants. La Plaza Del La Trinidad is right around the corner and has a very lively nightlife. Also, very close to Di Silvio Trattoria - a great Italian restaurant. The staff are wonderful and very helpful. The breakfast is very nice and served on the open air terrace area, which has great views.

The Zana is a very basic hotel in that the rooms are quite small with very minimal facilities - just a bed with a couple of side night shelves and a very tiny bathroom. They serve the purpose well but to not provide the most optimal comfort.

The location of the hotel is perfect for walking trips to every part of Old Town and the marina. It has quite a lot of options almost just outside its door.

As with most hotel rooms in Colombia it has no view at all. This is because of the design of the houses that have an internal yard and every room is facing there. It is not a fault of any hotel that I've been to in the country.

The front desk was very helpful with every question I had, breakfast was fantastic every day (shout out to Neva and Margara!), and my bed was very comfy and room was well air-conditioned!

Minor nitpick: bathroom door in my room didn't close completely (which was fine for me since I was travelling alone but is worth mentioning)

The location was amazing. It was a bare-bones hotel but it was perfect. It was a beautiful hotel on the outside, simple but beautiful on the outside . The staff was great, she offered to call us taxis as needed. She let us keep our bags there when we went on a 2-day trip to Santa Marta/Tayrona. The location was perfect! The beautiful historic part of town. It was very lively with lots to do in the area. Provides breakfast which was sufficient! Great for the price.

Like mentioned above, it's bare bones but it is affordable and does the job which is most important.

Really a great place to stay. Very helpful staff. Room with access and view on a peaceful patio. Hotel located in a very calm and small street which is very appreciated. Nice roof top. Very clean room, excellent bed, good climatisation, TV, excellent wifi. Good breakfast served on roof top or in our room when we had strong rains. Walking distance to historical district. 2 minutes walk from excellent restaurants.

Well....nothing. ( hot water was sometimes missing but we really didn't care as temperatures are so high)

I had a great 4-night stay here. My room was super clean and it was quiet at night. AC worked great. I will comment on the window since I really was on the fence about it before booking. It is an old colonial-style house so it was not a glass paned window- it is either shuttered all the way (no light) or open to the fresh air. This turned out to be a non-issue in the end at all. I was very glad I booked my stay here!

Everyone was really nice, breakfast was good and no problem to order vegetarian. Parrots visiting in the morning to steal some fruit and bread. Room was clean and big enough for 2, AC worked well. Window only to the hallway but its open and you can just open the upper half. Also arranged the airport transfer at 6am for us. Walking distance to everything important.
