Best Libraries Open On Holidays In Cartagena Near Me

yzmar de jesus Paz: Excellent place if you want to take your children or if you are a lover of reading, there are games and books

Maria Elvira Pájaro: Large, spacious, elegant place, full of books of all genres and categories. Ideal for studying and reading.

Keila Sierra garrido: I loved it, the library has a variety of books, I liked the children's area, it was very nice. I would recommend that they include more books for young people, the ones they have are very good. Your reading environment is perfect

Diana Carolina Murillo Martín: Good place to work: wi-fi, power outlets, quiet. It's just that many times they have the women's bathroom closed

Felix Alfonso Acosta castro: Excellent very beautiful pleasant environment.

Eve Bohnett: Does not open according to schedule. Schedule says 8:30am open during the week, and this morning was not open at 8:45 or 9:00 or 9:05. Not sure when it open.

Samuel Hurtado (Samuleumas12): A nice environment to study, or read, and quite a few books, only sometimes there are books that do not correspond to the shelf where they should be. Nothing more, the opinions about the staff making a lot of noise are true, but it is acceptable. And for those who have the doubt, it is public

Jeimy Jaramillo Díaz: A wonderful place... One of the few oasis in Cartagena!!!

Leonora Walker: Beautiful, and the afternoons of poetry and music, very interesting

andrés felipe Borja perez: It's super nice, it's a good environment to enjoy a good book

Daniel Perez: A very nice library, very well maintained and little crowded

Sirlen Gomez: Excellent

Yenny Carcamo Abogados Cartagena.: A lot of noise from the staff who work in the facilities, on two occasions I tried to concentrate on reading. I got up and went to them asking what time it was quiet, the answer was that there was a suggestion box.

Daniel Esteban Diaz Molina: Hermoso, templo de la lectura

Brian Culler: Fantastic library. Really good for kids. They have a large kid section with books and toys, kid-sized bathrooms, and cold AC. Beautiful inside too, lots of natural light and pretty architecture. Really nice and helpful librarians too!

Travel City Tours: Super comfortable and cosy. A great contribution to knowledge and culture in the city.

jesus vergara: A comfortable space to do work and consult a specialized academic database. If you book in advance, they offer you accompaniment and methodological advice on the work you are going to do

julioe botero: Bella, it is perhaps the most beautiful reading temple in the region. Not only reading, the mere fact of visiting it and contemplating its architecture, its stained glass windows of the muses, the staircase, everything is fantasy that has just been completed with the almost infinite readings it offers

Angela C. Torres: What a beautiful place... It has a very beautiful space for children, I thought that in this time that everything is technology had already disappeared... But this place instead of disappearing, is more organized so that they can have an incredible experience with the children or alone ; going to the world of literature.

Daniela Arellano: It's open? In full 2021

Jeremy: Great place to cool down and relax. Very quiet atmosphere.

Luis Carlos Giovannetti Villegas: What a pleasant and different corner of wisdom in Cartagena, in the heart of the walled city. To taste a good coffee, with good company, calm conversations, share experiences or read the passage of a book that you can get right there... different, rustic and beautiful!

Lizbeth Marruffo: Very attentive service, you can have a few drinks while you read. Cozy place with excellent service

Carolina Guzmán: Excellent place

Luz Helena Sánchez: A very nice and well cared for place.

Paula Andrea Rodríguez Carreño: A nice place to have a good time chatting!The air conditioning is very cold

Cristina Vallejos: Very nice

Alejandro Badilla F: small but nice

Felipe Orihuela: Excellent coffee shop, the ambiance and variety was unique. The selection of books was incredible.

Nestor Rimoli: fantastic place!!! You have to visit it!!!

Brittany Mitro: We stopped here based on an online review of Cartagena we saw and it was a perfect place for an afternoon rest. The coffee was great and the selection of books made for a fun browsing. They had tons of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, so if you are looking for that while you are in Cartagena (in English or Spanish), this is the place to go. If you are looking for some local literature from Colombia, or Spanish translations of some of your favorites, stop in here for a drink and a browse!

juan sebastian arteaga paz: Everything is amazing. Costume service it's so wonderful and you can find everything, all the time, clean, ordered and comfortable 😌😌😌

Angelina R: Great coffee,plus AC

Jefferson Ortiz: An excellent place where you will find the combination of literature, coffee and a magical view!

Santiago Jaramillo: Perfect atmosphere to relax in Cartagena

Jose Antonio: el varista super buena onda Luis Daniel.(Translated by Google

Juan Diego Molina Montoya: The place preserves the nostalgia that only the passage of time can give to a place with so many years reflected on its walls.

Fáber Alexánder Gallego Obando: Nothing to do with the space that was one day. There is no guide service, closed rooms. It doesn't justify paying for what little it offers.

Chris Korpuze: Good little museum with the history of cartagena. Just a few translate in English. Cool to spent a hour their.Visited on Weekend Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Not sure …More

Hugo Amigo: Know part of history! Religion is the man looking for God. Christianity is the story of a Deus of love that seeks to repay the home. The inquisition is an inferno raised by men who say they act in the name of God. Conheça a Cristo somente, ele é a Porta e o Caminho aos ceus.COMPLAINTIt was usually done anonymously,orally or in writing.It was the process in which the validity of thecomplaint, investigating to see if there were meritsenough to prosecute the defendant.QUALIFICATIONMoment in which the defendant was informed that he waswould initiate a process against him, This occurred in twoforms: Inquisitio Specialeis and the Inquisitio Generalis;in the first, individually the parish priest of thetown of the defendant took the summons to hishome, for the suspect to turn himself in forimprisoned.

Mari C: Museu impactante e recomendo pra todos que queiram saber mais sobre os absurdos da inquisição! Eu fui com expectativas baixas, mas valeu MUITO a visita.

Stephanie P. G.: I went on a Sunday in June/2023, the adult ticket is $23,000, there are three floors and it does not have an elevator, so it is an issue to take into account if your health does not allow you to climb stairs. The building has been restored and is beautiful, on the first floor are the exhibitions on the inquisition and human rights, a cool audiovisual recreating what it was like to blame and "prosecute" someone. On the second and third floors, it is related to the history of Cartagena. I like that the people from the museum are betting on showing Cartagena's Afro heritage as well. Recommended, if you have the chance to go, I recommend it.Of course, it would be nice if they could have guides to better complement the tour and tell some tourists that they should not step on or lie down... It would also be cool to have something more interactive with screens showing audiovisuals with oral history, with other people to give their perspectives and reconstruction of certain facts that are usually left out by the political / historical interests of the people.

W: A gloomy place, but with many stories.Visited on Weekend Wait time No wait …More

Jairo Florez: pero aprendes cosas nuevas(Translated by Google

Carlos Sotelo: Interesting facts about the inquisition are known

Dr. Abby: I love museums. This one was unfortunately the worst maintained one I've visited. I worry about how long some of their artifacts will last. Some exhibits are described in Spanish and English, but most in Spanish only. Overall, I learned a lot about how slavery, the Inquisition, and the fight for independence impacted the area.Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended No …More

carlos alamos: Few original samples. I expected more for such a historic city. Missing to see archive documents or exhibits of old pieces. Only 2 themes. inquisition and slavery

Gian Carlo de Melo: Não vale o ingresso. O museu está cheio de plotagem e poucas obras de verdade. Muita maquete, além de só ter 1 sala climatizada descente. No mais, muito quente.A parte de inquisição é melhor consultar informações on-line.

Miguel Prieto: Very disappointed. First of all, you need to pay to come in and then there is not even a/c. Barely any items on exhibition, just some panels with stories that you can read on any website

Maibeth Mejia: The Palace of the Inquisition is a place that houses all the history that the first settlers of Cartagena lived through. The facilities are poorly cared for, they lack maintenance, the bathrooms are poorly cleaned. It was not a good experience.

Elias Razo: Several rooms were closed and the exhibitions were incomplete. It is an historical building so I think the government should invest more on restore it.

Evan Huang: Rude front desk staff. Bathroom super dirty all the time, water smells weird so the entire room smells horrible 24/7. Many of the beds had extremely bloody sheets, pictures attached. The big pool in the other building was closed my whole stay. The other reviews about the absurdly loud music are correct, they play music so insanely loudly on the roof for some reason. If there was some kind of event going on I could understand, but the music is like this all of the time. It is so loud that it’s impossible to just chill by the pool or even talk to someone. No social vibe at all, filled with older people working which is kind of expected at a Selina. My room was filled with Israelis who would wake up at 9am and start yelling to eachother. Overall horrible experience, and definitely not up to the Selina quality standard.

Alex DeCapri: Avoid this Selina. I should have read the reviews before booking.I've worked at various hostels and traveled for years in hostels. I've stayed at two other Selinas that were ok. This Selina is the WORST hostel experience I've ever had in my life. Book somewhere else.---When we arrived at 6pm after a 14-hour travel day, their reservation system was down and they told us to just wait. They didn't do anything or offer anything in the meantime. We just wanted to shower, so I had them grab a few towels for us. I've worked in a couple of hostels during my travel days, and the least you can do is greet people and welcome them with some water or a dang towel when things aren't working. They were, however, super concerned about me paying, even though they couldn't get us to a room for over 1.5 hours. 😂We stayed in a Micro room with a shared bathroom. Luckily, we didn't have mold or bed bugs, like other reviews have shared... but the room was super humid and dank. No fans or circulation other than the AC, which would have been fine...But part of the city lost power and Selina's generator isn't powerful enough for the building. No lights or AC (or any way to circulate the air) from 2am-7am. I went down to reception four times during these hours to get updates and ask for a different room. There were other rooms where the elctricty was working. Ours wasn't. They refused to move us. We only were able to sleep from 7-11am, missing our included breakfast, so we had to go buy breakfast somewhere else.Half of the people at reception are always in a bad mood, stressed, and as if they can't be bothered. When I went to buy a water, the guy just shoved the card reader towards me without speaking. When the "tap" didn't work, he just shoved it closer to my face to show my it was refused. Didn't offer to try the chip. I feel like I had to guide everyone at reception to help them do their job better. Zero customer service skills, and it's not a language barrier.Upon check out, I told them we wanted a discount on the first night, as we didn't get anything we paid for. We couldn't sleep. We didn't get AC or power. We weren't allowed into our rooms until 7:30pm. Nothing went well. They refused and only offered a 10% discount after 15 minutes of conversation. Said their manager was in a meeting and they had to charge me.For $40 USD/night for a tiny, humid jail cell where the door brushes against the bed when you open it, this place is a total scam.Nobody ever responded to our WhatsApp messages either. It’s linked in the Selina app but nobody bothers to get back to you.-Bathrooms are moldy and not clean (no circulation or fans).-Toilet paper regularly ran out (shared bathroom) and nobody refilled, so I went to get some.-Music is obnoxiously loud in the lobby at early hours and all day at the pool. If you are a light sleeper, good luck.The only good thing is the food at the restaurant is actually pretty good and has some vegan options, just a bit pricy.

No: Good location and the roof top and entrance are very nice but the rooms are actual hell. Covered in mold and I woke up with bug bites. The rooms are so moldy it made my throat hurt.Rooms: 1/5|Service: 4/5|Location: 5/5 …More

Catalina Lozano Torrado: La habitación pequeña es realmente pequeña.El espacio Justo de la cama y una mesa. Las puertas son muy delgadas y se escucha absolutamente todo de afuera.La habitación se siente encerrada y no tiene ventanas ni ningún tipo de ventilación.Las sabanas, fundas y toallas estaban percudidas y con pequeñas manchas.Las instalaciones podrían estar mejor cuidadas. Hay uno de los edificios que no es muy agradable. (edificio rojo)La atención en el restaurante no fue la mejor, no tiene muchas opciones de platos y los costos son un poco altos relación calidad/precio.

Damian Dormer: Great location near old town with rooftop pool for sunset drinks (but very expensive 30000+ for a g&t, slow). Polite & helpful security.Room (A118) was average at best. Shower alternated between too hot & too cold ever 10 seconds, didn't drain fast enough, and needed constant ventilation to avoid the whole room smelling ultra-dank. Bed on it's last legs. Loud drunk dorm neighbours downstairs between 3&4am despite quiet curfew.Reception staff are a mix of rude (young man with short hair) & fun (the others!).The included breakfast - small, dry powdery scrambled eggs.Place could be much better if they had reasonably priced drinks & good service, both rooftops people were usually scarce, probably because it's much easier to find a good experience elsewhere. After the welcome drink it's like yeah nah.Perhaps the other Selina locations are better?

Arturo Cerda: The bathroom was very dirty, the kitchen too, the floor was stained and with a paint that came off when walking, the air conditioning broke down and they couldn't fix it. I do not recommend it at all.

Blink: Very bad service, and the rooms are disgusting. First they give me one full of insects, I asked for the change, they didn't want to change it, after a long time of waiting they give me another one, drops of water were falling everywhere, in the end I ended up in the lobby again asking for a refund, supposedly the Manager was not there and they did not refund me anything. one of my worst experiences in that hotel. I paid $600 for 3 days, I had to go to another hotel.Rooms: las dos habitaciones estuvieron pesimo

COTE TOUR: Cheguei no hotel , todos os quartos com mofo, quartos mistos entre homens e mulheres, sem armario.Não tinha condição e nem segurança de ficar laAchei um outro hotel do lado e me hospedei , pois estava cansado.Detalhe é que eu ja tinha pago e agora eles falaram que não tem reembolso, mesmo eu tendo pago por 7 noites e não ter me hospedado nenhuma noite.Não fiquem la , pior pesadelo da vida de vocês

Corinne B: Very good hostel with clean facilities, beautiful pools (yes, there are 2), good food offer, fun bar and a very broad offer of tours and services like laundry. There's even a café at the back and yoga classes in the morning. Seems like they thought of everything. The showers have hot water and good pressure. Thank you for your hospitality.

Jordan George: Pros:The location. Walking distance from the clock tower. But also walking distance to a lot of the old town.The welcome drink was wonderful.There are two buildings. Building A, the building with reception, has two locations to get food from which were good and the staff were nice.The rooftop view is amazing.I appreciated the lockers in the room we got. The first room did not have them.We booked a Rosario island excursion through Selina’s activity booking system. It was a fun experience. And I believe it was cheaper as well compared to going through TripAdvisor.The coworking space was great. Wifi speeds as well as a developer. Zoom was occasionally unstable.Most of the reception staff was friendly.An aesthetically pleasing place when not paying attention to details.Cons:My partner and I had a private room with a shared bathroom. The cleaning staff cleaned the bathroom everyday but it was more like straightening up instead of actually decently cleaning. The toilet and sink for example kept the same amount of gunk on them. But when the shower drain started to clog they did help with getting it to drain properly.The coworking restroom could be cleaned a lot better. I tried to avoid touching the walls. More toilet paper could be provided as it frequently ran out. Sometimes the water wasn’t running in this restroom. The trash bin was not conducive to putting toilet paper there while using the toilet.When we first got there we were put in a room that was hard to breathe in. We felt like it had something to do with mold. We saw that the AC unit was dripping and covered in a black substance which we assumed was mold. We were thankfully moved to another room.It looked like a lot of mold was covered with paint and there was no proper ventilation to really prevent it in the bathrooms.One day we saw some staff inspecting a bed that looked like it had bed bug blood stains on them near our room so that caused some anxiety.
