I had a good experience, the room was clean, customer service was friendly and helpful. They even let me leave my bags and use their lobby for awhile after I checked out. The breakfast was pretty good and the rooftop area was cool to hangout. Only thing I would complain about was the noise, you can hear Club music late night. But this was expected, it's a busy tourist area. Bring earbuds or just don't come to Colombia if music brothers you lol. Overall I thought it was great value and I look forward to visiting again.

Mi esposo y yo nos estuvimos hospedando una semana completa, el lugar es lindo, no es un hotel 5 estrellas pero creo que si tu plan es salir a conocer esta perfecto pues queda cerca de muchos lugares emblemáticos de Cartagena, todo nos queda a pie. La habitaciones pueden ser algo pequeñas pero funcionales. En cuanto al desayuno, ahí si creo que podrían mejorar, ya que el menú diario es huevo, con algunas opciones de galletas, cereal fruta, bastante básico.

Gran opción en Getsemaní en Cartagena

La experiencia fue genial!!! el hotel es maravilloso, pero recomiendo entrenar mejor al personal de recepcion y facturación, las tres veces que me he hospedado en el Hotel he tenido dificultades para que la facturación salga de inmediato y como se requiere. En todo caso, todo se resolvió, pero no deberia ser necesario reclamar. Por lo demás es un hotel muy recomendado

Verified traveller

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
I would strongly advise against staying at this hotel. My experience was extremely disappointing for several reasons: * **Poor Room Conditions:** The rooms had visible mould and damp, creating an unpleasant and unhealthy environment. Some rooms don’t even have windows, which makes them feel very stuffy and claustrophobic. * **Basic Utilities Unreliable:** There was no electricity for more than two days, and water was unavailable for long periods. This made the stay very uncomfortable and inconvenient. * **Noise Levels:** The noise from both inside and outside the hotel continued until 3–4 a.m. every night, making it nearly impossible to get any rest. * **Hidden Costs:** The hotel charges unexpected fees, such as for replacement room keys, which are only disclosed at checkout. This feels very misleading. * **Maintenance Issues:** Many fixtures and fittings are poorly maintained — for example, toilet seats were loose and in need of repair. * **Lack of Privacy & Security:** Street vendors are allowed to come up to the hotel and approach guests to sell items, which felt intrusive and unprofessional. Overall, the hotel fails to provide even the most basic standards of comfort, safety, and transparency. I would not recommend Soy Local Insignia Hotel to anyone.

The hotel was great! It was clean, comfortable, and the service was outstanding. We enjoyed the rooftop pool and bar. The hotel is also very close to restaurants and shops. Occasionally the music in the street was quite loud, as the hotel is located in a very busy part of Getsemani. If you want to be close to where things are happening at night, this is a great hotel choice.

Great boutique hotel. Very clean and staff are very helpful and nice. The 3 Pools are small but relaxing. I enjoyed them. This is in a great neighborhood full of shops, bars, and restaurants. The downside to that is that it is very loud and you can hear the music and cars honking throughout the night until five in the morning. I had trouble sleeping a few nights because of how loud it was. The construction very early in the morning is also loud. Aside from that my overall stay was excellent.
