Mucura Hotel & Spa

Excellent hotel, especially good value for your money in Cartagena. Since Cartagena is a tourist hotspot, some of the hotel prices in the more tourist zone were too exaggerated. Hotel Mucura has all the essentials that you need. Definitely not a luxury hotel, but it was perfect for us since we spent most of the day outside the hotel and only returned to the hotel to sleep. It is a very quiet hotel at night. Very close to the airport. You can walk to and from the airport. It's only 4 blocks away. We walked with our carry on luggage and backpacks at midnight and the neighborhood seemed safe enough. Transportation (Uber) from the tourist zone of Bocagrande to the hotel is about US$3 to $4 max. If you want to rent a car in Cartagena, the rental company Localiza is just in front of the airport. One day with an economy (basic) car (Suzuki S-presso) with full insurance came out to US$38 aprox. Driving in Cartagena can be very chaotic with lots of motorcycles everywhere. Definitely need to have "nerves of steel" to drive there :-) . The hotel has a small garage of its own.

The staff here is extremely friendly and helpful. I had a excellent experience in Mucura. The breakfast was delicious and the people in the kitchen are very nice, the bed was wonderful after a long flight, they have coffee and tea free 24 hours and very nice hot tub. The location is near to the airport and 10 minutes from the wall city.

The staff was lovely and welcoming. The bed was comfortable and it was located in a quiet neighborhood. I only stated there for one night because I had an early flight, so I think it’s a good affordable option to stay close to the airport.

From the clean whitewashed exterior, to the clean white interior, this place has the appearance of quality. The rooms are light, bright and modern, with sleek and spacious ensuite bathrooms. Toiletries included. The common areas and hallways are clutter free, offering a half covered patio/eating area, with a lovely landscaped courtyard and hot tub. There's 24 hr reception, very accomodating staff who enabled an early check-in for me, and arranged taxi services upon request. Breakfast was included, consisting of a cooked option, fresh fruit and juice, with coffee, tea and hot chocolate available all day. The WiFi and air-conditioning were reliable and efficient.

Great service, we stayed in the Hotel for one night for a layover back home. The location was perfect and Yoylan Mendoza was extremely helpful with our stay and getting transportation.
