“Hostal Bambumar, a family-run gem, distinguishes itself with a location slightly removed from Cartagena's bustling tourist zone. That little extra walk to the historic centre translates to quieter nights, while the rooftop terrace, complete with an outdoor kitchen and shaded areas, becomes a real highlight for enjoying the local atmosphere and views. I think this is a solid choice for travellers seeking a more authentic Cartagena experience.”
