Apartamentos Turísticos Metrópolis, Cartagena Overview
Apartamentos Turísticos Metrópolis is a 3-star hotel in Cartagena, Spain. Rated 6.6 out of 10 based on 5 guest reviews.
Apartamentos Turísticos Metrópolis is a 3-star apartment-style stay in Cartagena, Spain, suited to travelers who prefer space and practical self-contained living over a traditional hotel setup. The address, C. Sta. Florentina, 17, places you within walking distance of the old town, so you can move between viewpoints and plazas without relying on constant transport. Guests looking to explore history will find the Roman Theatre about 1 km away and the Castillo de la Concepción roughly 1.5 km from the property, with the cathedral area around 0.9 km for a straightforward sightseeing day.
Reviewers’ overall impression is mixed but grounded: the guest rating of 6.6/10 based on a small set of reviews suggests a stay that works for some visitors while others notice shortcomings. Family travelers are specifically welcomed, and the property is also wheelchair accessible, with luggage storage to help you manage arrivals and departures. If you’re arriving by public transport, the hotel’s accessible bus station shuttle and pickup options for train, airport, ferry, and cruise terminals (surcharges apply) can reduce the stress of coordinating transfers.
For couples, families, and solo explorers who plan to spend most of their time outside, this location and apartment format can be a sensible base. Hardwood flooring in public areas and a smoke-free property add to the day-to-day comfort, while the available town car and shuttle services help when you want to limit walking on hotter days or after late arrivals.

Should You Book Apartamentos Turísticos Metrópolis?
Worth considering if you want apartment-style space in a walkable part of Cartagena, but the low guest score (6.6/10 from 5 reviews) suggests you should book only if the location and self-contained setup matter more than consistency. It’s a practical choice, yet the limited review sample means risk is higher than average.
Best For
- Travelers who prefer apartment-style, self-contained living over a traditional hotel setup
- Groups or families with children who want a more flexible lodging format
- Sightseeing-focused visitors who want to walk to major historic sites like the Roman Theatre and Catedral de Santa María la Mayor
- Accessibility-aware travelers who value wheelchair accessibility and related support services (including shuttle/transport options for terminals)
Not Ideal For
- Light sleepers or guests sensitive to any unknown noise factors, since the review score is modest and details are limited
- Travelers who need consistently high service quality, given the 6.6/10 rating based on only 5 reviews
- Those who rely on frequent included transport, since many shuttles and pickups are listed as surcharge options
What to Expect
Check-in feels like settling into a practical apartment base rather than a conventional hotel, with luggage storage available and a smoke-free property. The surrounding area has an old-town feel, and you can walk to key sights such as the Roman Theatre and the Catedral de Santa María la Mayor within about 1–1.5 km. Mornings are likely spent heading out on foot to nearby landmarks like Castillo de la Concepción and the Museo Nacional de Arqueología Subacuática, then returning for a more independent routine. Reviews are limited, but the overall 6.6/10 suggests a mixed experience where the apartment setup and location may be the main strengths.
Location Intelligence
The address places you within walking distance of Cartagena’s historic core, including the Roman Theatre (about 1 km) and Catedral de Santa María la Mayor (about 1.3 km). Castillo de la Concepción (about 1.2 km) and the Museo Nacional de Arqueología Subacuática (about 1.5 km) are also close enough for a comfortable walk. For airport or terminal transfers, pickup/shuttle options are available but are listed as surcharge services, so plan transport timing around that.
