Hotel Tres Banderas in Cartagena

Has anyone here stayed at the Hotel 3 Banderas in Cartagena? It's in the old city in a fairly small colonial house and seems to be near the Santa Clara but on a much cheaper price scale.

Would live to hear the perspective of anyone who's actually stayed there.

My Wife Loves It Next to the Hotel Mesopotamia in Villa de Lleva this is one of her favorites-especially the patio with the waterfall. Cost, as near as I can remember, was about 130.000/140.000 COP a night. Great loacation for wandering about the Old Walled City.

Excellent hotel My girlfriend and I stayed there for six days last August. It's in a fairly central location on a quiet street. I think it is good value compared to other hotels in Cartagena. There are suites with a kitchen (which I think are the prices quoted above) and ordinary double rooms for about 85.000. As I recall, the price includes a good (buffet-style) breakfast. The patio and waterfall are very nice - when I was there, a TV crew recorded an interview with a model or actress sitting in the patio.

Usually we try to find hotels a little bit cheaper than this, but after long days in the sun fending off T-shirt sellers, offers for tours to the Islas del Rosario, and invitations to visit emerald museums, it was always a relief to escape back to Tres Banderas.
