From the moment the heavy front door was opened for us, and we were seated with a cold fruit drink during registration, to the very last moment, this hotel provided a calm retreat from the busy streets of Cartagena. We were told that there were only twin beds left when we booked, so we were concerned, however we were pleasantly surprised when we saw that "twin" apparently only meant two large beds in the room! We had a gorgeous, huge room, and the bathroom had a huge shower and all the amenities. We faced the street with two beautiful doors opening to a balcony. We were concerned about street noise, and we did get some of that, but with the doors and wooden shutters closed, it was fine. The included breakfast was exceptional, with full table service serving fruits, breads and other items. It was delicious and generous. The common areas were gorgeous, and we enjoyed sitting and ordering a Mojito. There is no formal bar or restaurant at the hotel, however, the ability to order a drink and enjoy the surroundings in a quiet place was fantastic. The only complaint we had was that the hot tub on the roof was lukewarm. A gentleman came up to turn up the heat, but it never really got any hotter, and we didn't want to wait. Again, we were able to have drinks brought up to the roof, and the atmosphere, under the stars, was fantastic. The service here was discreet and effective. You always have to have someone unlock and open the huge antique wooden door when you are coming and going, but that simply made the inside an oasis. I would say this is on the pricier side of options in Cartagena, but the personal experience is great.
The location in downtown Cartagena has been perfect. The staff are professional and polite, and the included breakfast is consistently delicious.
This is a beautiful hotel, run by the nicest people. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The rooftop pool/jacuzzi was a great spot to unwind and watch the sunset, and the provided breakfast in the mornings was always delicious. Would love to come back!
“Myself, my husband and our friend that we traveled with were extremely happy with the level of service. From the cool towels we were offered when we arrived to the attitude of the staff, which was "we will do anything to make your stay enjoyable." We were helped with dining choices, reservations, etc. Also the hotel is really beautiful.”
The service is amazing. Very well kept and clean. They just renovated an old house into an awesome looking hotel. Didn't miss a detail.
Top 5 most beautiful hotels in Cartagena. Rooms are large with high ceilings and tasteful traditional "caribbean-art" and colonial decor.
Beautiful hotel in a quiet location. Excellent, attentive service. Friendly and helpful staff.
Excelente atencion. Hermoso lugar. Excelente comida
Espectacular! Atención, limpieza, ubicación, atención por los detalles.
Lovely, peaceful hotel. Excellent staff. Great location.
This is a wonderful very small hotel. We were very happy with our stay there. All the rooms are "junior suites," though really they are just very large single rooms, not suites at all. (I recommend avoiding room 8, on the ground floor and facing the street.) Our only complaint was that they are very aggressive with spraying against insects and the whole place had a stench from this when we arrived, and persisting into the night. (The positive side of this was that we saw very few insects, including in the un-airconditioned, unscreened bathroom.) Service is very personal. There is a small, but lovely pool and a tiny roof deck.
Great hotel in a beautiful renovated old Cartagena house. Service is amazing and the staff here is extremely nice and helpful. Best hotel in Cartagena without a doubt!
