Cartagena hotels & places to stay

The NH royal urban is located in the heart of the old district in Cartagena, walking distance from everything. The rooftop pool is a true gem overlooking the city and is well kept. However the rooms are as sterile as could be with white walls and dark wood furniture and barely any art. My fiancé and I called it the #NHbratislava. It has so much more potential!

This is probably 1 of the top 3 hotels in the old town and definitely the best one when considering the price.

I don't usually leave reviews but I have to say that my stay at the Hotel Alfiz was probably one of my best hotel experiences, be it a boutique or chain hotel. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. They helped us with directions, bookings and even a police report we had to file for a stolen iPhone. The establishment was quiet, most likely due to...

From pool to ocean in a few walking steps. The room was clean, updated with a nice tile floor (not carpet that hides dust and nastiness) a large tv screen and crisp white linens on the bed. Managed and maintained well. Impressed despite the hotel being an older building--one wouldn't know from the inside.

One of the worst for me. I travel the world. The hotel has 2 buildings the new one and the old one. I was dumped by some nasty clerk in the old building. She gave ma hard time to register, She was as nasty as you ever will find some one. She said I missed my reservation. I had paid for 3 nights prepaid.I reserved the new hotel. She dumped me in the old hotel and gave...

Excellent location in historic Cartagena. The place is modern and clean with very nice helpful staff. The breakfast on the deck was a special treat. Great shopping in this area and lots of restaurants. If you go out the door of the hotel, turn right, walk two blocks, turn right again there is a beautiful court with lots of trees. The Pizza Restaurant on the corner...

Quaint hotel, in a building of over 200 years in age, Much room, high ceilings, with fans and good airconditioning. Nice bathroom fixtures, loction could not have been better, close to everything

Fantastic little hotel about 15 min walk from the walled city. This really is an amazing hidden gem about 5-10 min walk from the walled city. Location was great, the 'grounds' of the hotel were lovely and the traditional feel of the rooms was a nice touch. Really loved it here and cannot wait to go back.

Perfect location at Cartagena walled city. Very good breakfast and friendly staff. Rooms are neat and comfortable. Ijust did not like the fact that I stayed in a room that the toilet door was made of glass, so we could see everything, a little bit of lack of privacy but it was ok. Sometimes one of us had to leave the room. kkkkkkkk Small swimming pool on the top of the...

We have stayed in hotels al over the world and the staff at this hotel were the best we have ever encountered, very friendly and service oriented. It is a charming, traditional hotel in an excellent location within the historic centre of the city. The small rooftop pool and bar are delightful. There is a small gym with aerobic equpment but no weights. The beds are lar...

I was pleasantly surprised by my stay here. It was always clean, the staff were super friendly, the vibe was cool and respectful, and the location can’t be beat. Oh and it has A/C! I’d definitely recommend it.

It was great. Staff was super helpful and polite. They went out of their way to make you feel welcome. The building itself is incredible. Beautiful courtyard with gardens and huge high ceiling rooms. All is a bit outdated but I think that added to the 'Old World' feel. One issue were the plug air refreshers. Either take them out or replace with aromatic natural oils.

We booked this hotel because it was a late trip and very few options were available. The room is nice and the staff is very professional and helpful. The location is also great. However, once we went around we realised that we could have booked a much better boutique hotel and around the same price. Probably with a pool and other facilities.

Lovely area of Cartagena to stay in. The room we had was clean and a great size for two people. The included communal breakfast was a nice way to meet people and exchange travel tips, and the pool helped cool off after a day of walking around the local historic streets.

We had a very special time in Cartagena. The hotel was beautiful, clean, quiet, everything working well. Breakfasts were amazing. We had dinner in the restaurant, which is quite new. We were the only diners, however had the most amazing meal, in a very romantic setting. I would love to return some day, as we didn't have time to enjoy the beautiful rooftop outdoor a...

In the old town center, very convenient for travelling. The location is wonderful! There are many flowers and trees in the hotel, make it more sweet in staying. The only I recommend that if the hotel can equip with kettle, it will be better. Because all the people need to buy plastic botton water, it is really not good for environment.

I loved my stay here the hostel is unique - with such large rooms you'd think it would be loud but I found it very cosy. Breakfast every day was simple but nice to have. Small kitchen but I only noticed one or two people cooking in the four days I spent there. The staff are the best part though. Helped me practice Spanish, very responsive, helpful and friendly.

It was a decent stay. I wanted to feel a bit more special, being a gold elite member at Holiday Inn, but they didn't give me much extra. Instead I was forced to pay for things like local calls. I accepted these extra fees but it would have been nice if they gave me a freebie on this stay In general the rooms are ok, the pool is nice, the gym has a few cardio machines...

The best hotel during our entire trip. I was initially staying in the Bocagrande area thinking that it was perhaps safer. Take my advice and stay here within the walled city instead. Great location with many good restaurants in close proximity. Great English speaking staff, esp Palao (sp?). We asked for a room was good wifi and were place immediately next to the r...

This hotel is located in the center of the historic area and close to the clock tower. Very good location. The staff is very helpful and speaks English. The breakfast that is included is also good. Would highly recommend.

Great hotel for the cheap price we paid. Clean, friendly & nice to have breakfast included!

My boyfriend and I stayed at Hotel Casa de Las Palmas for six days during our trip to Cartagena. The hotel staff are very friendly (little English is spoken by the staff), and the hotel is very cozy. The lobby is an open-air central courtyard with a pool, a couple of hammocks, foozeball, and a restaurant. The A/C in the rooms works beautifully and the accommodations ar...

As a hostel is excellent probably one of the best i have stayed in, though if you book the private rooms, the value for money is not good, as no extra services are included different from the hostel shared bedrooms, and the price is the same as a 4* hotel, unfortunately check in was not earlier than 15:30 after insisting. again great hostel but don’t stay here in the p...

They try to take advantage of you in any possible way. They gave me wrong informations on the transfer time to the airport: plane missed. The hotel is much more expensive than what it offers. The pool is minimal the breakfast too

Pro: Big, clean and spacious rooms. Friendly staff and let us borrow beach towels for a day. Location was good.. right between the charm of old walled city and food and nigjtlife in getsemeni. Fresh fruits and water in lobby. Breakfast was great with many options. Noon Checkout was appreciated Cons: Wanted to book a day trip to Rosario islands and went to the front de...

I spent 2 nights at the Estancia de La Mantilla. It's in a great location! It's peaceful and quiet. The breakfast is simply yet done with the freshest ingredients, making it so delicious. The staff is super helpful. I enjoyed the stay and moving to a 5 star after that (for work) made the switch a little difficult, I do miss the sanctuary like feel of Estancia d...

We stayed for 3 nights at Hotel Boutique Casa Isabel. Among our highlights were the complimentary breakfasts in the morning and fresh juice drinks as we arrived from touring or a day at the beach. Luis and Jaime, hotel staff who were there to immediately attend to us, are just the loveliest people. This hotel is also just around the corner from the Plaza Trinidad, wher...

We stayed as a couple before our wedding. We had four rooms booked in the hotel. Although there was some confusion with the booking before we arrived everything was fine once we were in Cartagena. The hotel helped with dry cleaning and transfers from the airport for our family. Everyone was very happy with their rooms and the breakfast next to the swimming pool on the ...
