“Bantu's charming old-town Cartagena”

Hotel Bantu by Faranda Boutique is a cute, characterful boutique in Cartagena's historic centre — orange-scented comfortable rooms with very cold AC, an authentic stylish property that is a sight in itself, pools and swings in the exotic common areas, a rooftop pool to escape the heat, a good breakfast with great omelettes from a super helpful kitchen team, an airport shuttle with a sign-waiting driver, an owner who hosted a Colombia match screening with snacks, and kind professional staff — Christian arranged an earlier check-in. Guests say you cannot go wrong.
