Great place in the centre of the old town. Awesome clean bathroom, aircon and ceiling fan. Comfortable bed. Located just in epicentre of everything. Would stay again
Staff was friendly, accommodating, and helpful. The rooms are unique and the setting is very authentic. Super central location to all that Centro, Cartagena has to offer.
Small boutique hotel with modest but comfortable, clean room which was a good size and had an excellent shower. Small pool is a nice bonus. Good breakfast and complimentary coffee in the library.
Staff very welcoming and helpful, while location in the old town is perfect and not too noisy.
Would happily recommend and stay there again.
It’s the perfect boutique hotel. Perfect location, in the middle of the old town, but far away from the noise. The service, the ambiance and the staff are the best in Cartagena. And the room it’s clean and beautiful!
Great location in the heart of the old city. Katrina, at the reception desk, is very helpful, as are all of the staff. We will definitely come back! Also, we’d like to stay at the other hotels run by the same hotel group.
Amazing! The staff was truly incredible. Sheik, the manager went above and beyond to answer all my questions. The hotel is very authentic and very much a boutique hotel that feels very true to the city. Getting in and out was very easy; there was always someone at the reception 24/7. I would definitely recommend staying here rather than a fancier hotel if you’re looking for a more unique experience in Cartagena. Thank you Alfiz for making my Cartagena trip even better!
This is a breathtakingly beautiful hotel. If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing hotel experience in Cartagena, this is it! The staff is so helpful, professional, and welcoming - we had a wonderful experience with Maria! They will also help you arrange transportation to and from the airport. The breakfast is delicious, the pool is quaint and relaxing, and everything was clean and it’s in a perfect location. We HIGHLY recommend staying here!
Beautiful property in the heart of the historical city. Wonderful service and good breakfast, loved the options. The plunge pool was an added treat for the morning.
The only thing I’d say is request a quiet room if you are a light sleeper like me! Other than that, a perfect overnight stay, thank you so much!
I didn’t realize it was just 8 rooms, mine was exceptionally special in its design and configuration… the smaller nature the small kitchen just off the garden dining area was really nice… now at a 5 star resort and think my earliest days were the best!
Best thing of the property is the remarkable staff they have. Always attentive. Never miss a beat. Breakfast was delicious. Anything you’d like was presented to you.. the decor was just perfect. Not too much not too little. Quite remarkable for its Era of time.Super safe. Great location!!!

Disliked: Amenities
It was not a great stay, we stayed at many nice places while in Colombia and this was by far the worst. I booked when the hotel was under different management and the reviews were good then. I would not recommend it was so noisy we could not sleep at night as we were in a room which opened to the street below. The breakfast was only ok.
The staff was very friendly and helpful despite not speaking much English. We were able to communicate with our broken Spanish. The room was cute, clean and wonderful, breakfast was also wonderful. We felt safe indoors despite outside was not safe. Only complaint is the wifi was not working for any of us, there were 4 of us on this reservation with different phone carriers and none of us were able to connect to the hotel wifi. Connecting to the wifi at the sister hotel down the street was fine and no issues.
