Amazing experience! They made my birthday absolutely unforgettable. I recommend this hotel to everyone inquiring! Great location and amazing customer service throughout the duration of my week stay. I will be back.
Perfect location in the center of old town. Stunningly decorated and furnished - felt both modern and distinctly Colombian. The staff were truly outstanding, offering generous and friendly help at every turn. The breakfast is included and delicious. The rooms were perfectly air conditioned and had black out curtains, offering a welcome reprieve from the sun after a long day out and about. The rooftop pool is small but luxurious and has incredible sunset views! We loved it here and will definitely be back!!
Great stay at Casona del Colegio. The hotel is beautiful and room was spacious and comfortable. But our room faced the street and despite being soundproof it was quite loud at night with party goers, shouting and music blaring (it’s not the quietest street in town). Even in the morning the city’s cleaning crew made lots of noise. We also had sporadic issues with no hot water and low water pressure. The staff were always incredibly kind and helpful though. Offered solutions like earplugs (which helped), changing rooms to a courtyard facing one and fixed the water immediately when we called
The rooms were exceptionally clean, and the staff was incredibly friendly. Sheik, the manager, was particularly kind and helpful. He assisted me in finding a boat for sailing and provided me with additional information.
Beautiful hotel in a great location. The room was nicely decorated with a large washroom. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food for breakfast was excellent, both healthy and less healthy options available, both delicious. The only issue was that it’s in such a good location that it can get noisy late at night/early morning. The hotel provides ear buds with the room amenities to deal with all the honking!
The hotel was very clean, and the staff were very friendly. As someone who knows limted spanish, I had no issues communicating with the staff or finding my way around. If you want to be right in the action of El Centro and still feel safe and secure, this is the place to stay.
We stayed at Hotel Casona del Colegio from July 9–14 and overall had a wonderful stay. This charming boutique hotel is beautifully decorated with lots of character. Our room with a private balcony and hot tub was spacious and comfortable. The location is perfect—within walking distance of great restaurants, shopping, bars, and many attractions. Despite being in the heart of Cartagena, we slept very well.
A few issues kept this from being a 5-star stay. I noticed two small roaches in our room and also during our last two days, there was no running water during the day, and for one full night. After spending our days on island tours, we returned hot and sandy but couldn’t shower for hours. We understand things happen, but better communication and some type of accommodation or discount would have been appreciated.
Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay and would recommend the hotel for its beautiful atmosphere, comfortable rooms, and unbeatable location.
Clean spacious room with gorgeous bathroom and balcony. Lovely restaurant and great breakfast. Very nice rooftop pool. The only drawback is it’s loud in the heart of the old city across the street from a very old restaurant bar. The staff were very accommodating.
Our stay in Cartagena was absolutely amazing! The service was top tier from start to finish. Catalina at the front desk was incredibly helpful, welcoming, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. She and the rest of the staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home.
Breakfast was phenomenal every morning, and the ambiance of the hotel was peaceful, beautiful, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. Housekeeping was excellent—they cleaned our room whenever we requested, and we appreciated the option to simply use the door button if we didn’t need service. They even offered twice-daily housekeeping, which was a great touch.
The only minor issue was seeing a couple of small bugs, but that’s understandable with a boutique hotel that has an open-air rooftop pool. It didn’t take away from an otherwise wonderful experience.
I highly recommend this hotel if you’re looking for a smaller, quieter boutique hotel away from large crowds. We would definitely stay here again!
This hotel is beautiful and decorated to a high standard. We loved the breakfast in the mornings and cocktails in the evenings. The rooms were spacious and amazing. The bed was very comfortable
Great period property in the centre of Cartagena. Effiecient and knowledgeable employees. We only ate breakfast there but the restaurant was of a good standard. Big shout out to Stephanie who was super fríendly and helpful. We had a lovely stay.
Staff was very friendly and helpful, good dinner and breakfast menu. The property is amazingly located in the heart of Cartagena, very walkable, if you don't like to be in a busy and crowded place with vibrant night life and people on the street, book something else
We had a wonderful stay. The property is so convenient to all the sights of the walled city. The staff were incredibly friendly. The room was clean, comfortable, with luxury amenities. We also enjoyed the rooftop pool one afternoon which was incredible! If we find ourselves back in cartagena will definitely stay here.
Perfect location, friendly and kind staff. Local craftsmanship in architectural details. Very comfortable bedding for a great night’s sleep. Pleasantly surprised by an upgrade which gave us our private outdoor jacuzzi and patio!!
