Atendimento carinhoso e processos rápidos no coração histórico de Getsemaní

Ficamos no La Magdalena durante o tour por Cartagena e foi uma ótima base em Getsemaní. O pessoal foi muito atencioso desde a chegada: a moça da recepção ofereceu água gelada enquanto conferia nossos documentos. O check-in levou menos de cinco minutos, mesmo chegando antes do horário. Na saída, o check-out também foi rapidíssimo e já deixaram o táxi chamado. Quarto simples, limpo e silencioso para descansar depois dos passeios. Voltaria sem pensar duas vezes.

Rooftop breakfasts, glowing balconies, and Getsemani evenings

After a busy week of meetings, La Magdalena felt like an easy base in Getsemani. My room looked over the narrow street toward the old city walls; each evening, I could see balconies glowing as the sky turned pink. Breakfast was the real highlight: eggs cooked to order, warm arepas with cheese, fresh mango, and excellent Colombian coffee served on the rooftop terrace. I also tried their small dinner menu, especially the coconut rice with grilled fish—simple, flavorful, and perfectly suited to Cartagena’s heat. Staff remembered my coffee preference by day two.

Habitaciones impecables y sabores caseros en Getsemaní

Nos encantó quedarnos en La Magdalena durante nuestro viaje a Cartagena. La habitación estaba impecable, con sábanas frescas, buen colchón y una ducha con excelente presión; además, no se escuchaba casi nada desde la calle. El desayuno fue una grata sorpresa: arepas recién hechas, huevos al gusto, fruta y un café colombiano muy rico. También probamos el arroz con coco del hotel, sabroso y bien servido. La atención fue cálida y cercana.
