Hotel Don Pedro de Heredia

Cartagena


An excellent choice if you want somewhere in the Old Town with more than a whiff of history about it, but can't afford the truly sumptuous boutique-luxury experience that most places in this area offer. The Don Pedro represents great value for money, and included is a good breakfast on the breezy rooftop restaurant. Rooms are spacious, spotless and tastefully decorated.
