Muy buenas tardes, una de nuestras fortalezas, es precisamente , que el HOTEL esta abierto las 24 horas de recepcion, no tuvimos el gusto de atenderlo porque usted no se presento y aclaros lo que se cobro solo fue el no show NO PRESENTADO, recordamos que ustedes son nuestra razon de ser, esperamos tener el gusto de atenderlo.

This hotel was infected with roaches. It's old and zero maintenance. Windows broken and insects crawl im the room. Please pay a little more and stay in a good place. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY STAYING HERE! THIS PLACE IS DISGUSTING! IT SHOULD BE CLOSED AND NOT OPERATING.

Dear guest, I am surprised by such a message since you did not comment nothing on the facilities during your stay. First of all, you bought the most economical room of all we have, but none of the rooms have the flaws that you describe and before staying you saw it and accepted it, I imagine that your anger is because we did not include breakfast in the rate you paid as you told us.if it were true that there were incects why did you want to open the window, is blocked precisely because of the insects that may be on the street in certain seasons, but if you wanted to open it, the maintenance staff would gladly open it for you, and if the hotel was so bad, why did you stay? We are located in the best area of Cartagena surrounded by beautiful beaches with an unbeatable location, we are not a 5-star hotel but we try to improve ourselves especially with our new administration, I invite you on one of your trips to Cartagen come and give us the opportunity again and we will include breakfast in your rate.

The people at the front desk are very rude. My Spanish is not perfect, but I can communicate very well with most all Spanish speakers. The people at the front desk intentionally speak so you cannot understand their Spanish and when you ask them to talk slower, they refuse. One time when I called, they hung up on me. The general manager does speak English, but the people at the front desk will not let people know that they have someone that speaks English. Also, no hot water.

Muy buenos dias, señor Adolfo, fue un placer servirle, las personas hispanas, es cultura conversar rapido, pero en especial los costeños somos gente amable y siendo esta una ciudad turistica, es normal estar a su servicio y prestando ayuda, Colombia en todas sus ciudades , en especial Cartagena, tratamos como reyes nuestros huespedes lo mejor que podemos, la recepcion de este hotel funciona las 24 horas, al igual que su telefonom en cuanto al servicio de agua caliente no esta dentro de los servicios que se prestan y lo puede ver en su reserva antes de llegar, especifica muy bien que se ofrece, sin embargo estudiaremos la posibilidad de incluirlo.

The daytime receptionist is one of the most welcoming receptionists ever! The price for this hotel is very budget friendly. The location is great for restaurants and proximity to the beach. The air-conditioning is wonderful and is maintained at a comfortable temperature day and night. There is a good selection of soft drinks and bottles of water to choose from at the front of the hotel.

Veleros Hotel is a hotel for locals (Colombians). It is priced this way so it is quite cheap, around $25 USD per night. Room I stayed in was very small and run down but very clean. In excellent location in Boca Grande. All in all it is a good choice for very budget oriented travelers from the north

Mal servicio!!
We had stayed there on 10/7 to 10/9/13, On that stay the room on the third floor clean and quiet. When we checked out we were overcharged when we returned we asked about the price diference and right away the switch was off. They said that we did not have a reservation for this stay and the put us in a room that had hair on the floor and was dirty, the sheets too small for the bed, we requested someone to clean it and they ignored us, requested a dif room and they changed us to a better one, but the attitude was rude. Will Never Return!!

El Hotel Velero
Colombians would rate this hotel a three B, bueno, bonito, and barato (good, pretty, and cheap). I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The staff was super friendly. The location is excellent. It is one block from the beach. There are many restaurants in the area. You cannot beat the price for the Boca Grande area. A word of caution: no one speaks English, in the hotel or in the nearby area.

far from there
I had a room near the balcony, the hotel was very comfy cozy but far away from any tourist areas. Spanish is a must if you come to this side of town. Be weary of the beach hustlers and never take anything off their hands because you may as well assume you have made the purchase. Acquire all neccessities through your hotel.

Sencillo, familiar, solo 3 parqueos.
Hotel sencillo, lo escogí por el precio que aparece como asequible en una zona que no lo es y porque decía que tenía parqueo. Efectivamente es un hotel sencillo familiar, nada lujoso pero solo tiene 3 parqueos al frente, si llegas temprano lo logras, si no, te toca dejarlo en la calle. Camas cómodas, buen aseo, una cucaracha, en el closet que tienen los estantes rotos. Cerca hay restaurantes y playa a dos cuadras. Personal puede mejorar en la amabilidad. Tv, ducha agua fria, aire acondicionado.
