Hotel Manolo

"We had this Hotel booked for 6 days. Arriving at the Hotel gave us a huge shock. The clientele hanging around in the carpark and the outside of the hotel gave us great concern. After looking inside the hotel to witness the same people hanging around inside we cancelled our booking and left. The amount of young men hanging around made us feel unsafe"

"If you accept the fact that you will need to catch the bus to the port abd city centre then Hotel Manolo is a good value, clean and comfortable place to stay in Cartagena. It is either a 3km, 40 minute walk to the port or €1.20 on the number seven bus! The room was clean, spacious and comfortable with air conditioning and a fridge (which is a bonus in a Spanish hotel). The staff were courteous and helpful and the menu del noche varied and good value (there were very few restaurants open on our first night which was a Monday). There is also a lovely Spanish tapas bar within five minutes walk from the hotel - El Paso de Los Elefantes. I would recommend Hotel Manolo and the tapas restaurant."

"For the price, I’ve had a lot worse. The staff were friendly and the rooms were more than adequate. The parking is a real bonus. I’ve no complaints. The only reason I wouldn’t stay again is the fact it’s a fair way out from the centre, but, to go further into the centre, you double the price of a room... so therefore.... I would definitely stay again."
