Casa Fanny

Cesar Orrego (Turista da solo), Sabato, 9 Marzo 2019

Very clean room, Miss Diana helpful, smiling and always willing to help or guide. The hostel is very well located, in the very heart of the old area of Cartagena de Indias, 4 blocks from the Walled City, a very safe area for tourists, movement of local people and tourists throughout the day. Protected by the Tourism Police and others from Order and Security. The taxi from the Historical Center US$3, from the Airport US$7. The hostel is a block and a half from the Church of La Trinidad and its square that at night fills up with tourists as a meeting point (as well as all the squares in the city), highly recommended

• I do not recommend visiting Costa Barua, the merchants stuff you with necklaces, bracelets, limestone carvings, the masseuses; They sit on your deck chairs and don't move until you buy from some of them and then they keep insisting, even worse at prices three or four times those you find in the same places in the city. The restaurant that is located there, excessive prices, the dollar is accepted much lower than the official exchange rate, I do not recommend it. Nor do I recommend buying cigarettes from street vendors; they are counterfeit

• I recommend, in any case, touring the Walled City and all the places in Getsemani on foot, you will find food offers at affordable prices from US$5 in places not so focused on tourists. To smokers I recommend buying in the "Cava del Puro" Historical Center, Calle de las Damas Nº3-106. To treat yourself to meats "Quebracho" Calle Baloco Nº 2-69 and in Sea Food any place does it very well, I recommend the Fried Snapper. Most of the people are very attentive and friendly.
