Great hotel in Getsemani, close to bars but very quiet once behind the hotel doors. Staff were super friendly. Our departing flight got delayed right after checking out, and staff let us come back and chill in the rooftop pool for a few hours which was very appreciated.
This boutique hotel is everything! From ambiance to staff to the food and so much more! A perfect place to relax solo, hang out with friends or spend a romantic weekend. The energy of the hotel draws you as soon as you walk in. I highly recommend staying here, or visit them for lunch and a cocktail.
What can i say! This place was absolutely beautiful. I loved every minute staying here. The butler was a great help with anything we needed. We arrived and we given mojitos that were delicious. Also given a tour of the house. Not long after arriving our butler set up fabulous massages for an hr. So relaxing! Breakfast was also wonderful. We sat on the balcony by the kitchen. I overall enjoyed being here. This is definitely where i will stay anytime im in Cartagena. Thank you for everything
This is my second time staying at Casa Claver. I adore this boutique hotel. The customer service is phenomenal, the proximity in the walled city is close to everything, and the room are spacious and clean. There is a delicious breakfast delivered in-room every morning. The rooftop pool and views are simply breath-taking. What more could you ask for such a wonderful boutique hotel?
Unbelievable boutique hotel in the Center of Old City Cartagena. Perfect romantic getaway or place for family and friends. Will be coming back again! Thank you to the incredible staff and hospitality. +5 Stars all around (suites, aesthetics, restaurant, room service, spa, amenities, etc).
This place is a welcoming as it looks. Right in the heart if Getsemani, there are multiple stores, restaurants, and hang out spots nearby. The breakfast is plentiful and tasty. The lobby itself is a great place to just escape the heat and meet fellow travelers. Hands down one of the best hostels I've visited.
This place is a must visit. The decoration is awesome and it's a very cool location to hang out. While the food is good, there are a couple plates that are hit or miss. I'd highly recommend stopping by for a post dinner cocktail.
We stayed in the Viceroyality Room which was large and very comfortable. Nice tile floor and lovely bathroom. We had asked for a firm bed. It was not particularly firm, but was comfortable. The location in the old city was excellent; walking distance to everything and picturesque. There were wooden floor-length shutters for the windows, which we shut at night, making the room silent and cutting out morning light. The breakfast was good; fresh juice, lovely fresh fruit, and eggs to order. The staff was lovely; very helpful and attentive. They went out of their way to offer us a place to shower and relax if we wanted to after our return from the San Bernardo Islands and before our flight back to NY! I would definitely recommend this hotel!
Boutique Hotel (Only 8 rooms) Clean, cozy, personalized attention, exquisite breakfast, in the heart of the Heroic "Cartagena the Indias" Restaurants of all kinds, with many options !!! Close to the hotel, you can walk around the city , in carriages with horses it is traditional to do it !! The hotel rooms are super comfortable and very clean, the noise of the city is not heard from the rooms !! For the price I pay for this boutique hotel in the Historic Center it is super good, compared to other hotels in the area !!!!
Very charming boutique hotel with great secluded roof top pool. Staff was wonderfully welcoming and the location was perfectly situated by great restaurants and bars.
This house is excellent for a group of around 10 people. The rooms a nice ( the suite is very very nice!), the location is great on a quiet street near everything.
The staff is phenomenal, Juliette and Andrea are the best. I have nothing bad to say, you would have the time of your life!
Not perfect, but just about deserves 5 stars.
Beautiful hotel with just 7 rooms ideally located in the walled city. Room was spacious and beautifully decorated with a private jacuzzi. The courtyard and pool area is stunning.
Breakfast in the room was a nice touch and service was always friendly.
Negatives:
- no free water in the room
- hot water didn't work (though they fixed it quickly)
- they forgot to pick us up at the airport (though apologised)
- actually right next to the busy ring road so it's quite loud on the roof terrace.
Very nice hotel. Modern in style and construction. Ocean located across the street. Bring your own umbrella. Staffing was very friendly despite some language barrier. Pedro at front desk is fluent in English and very warm and inviting. Pool area is small but can accommodate a decent amount of people. Yes I will stay there again.
Nice place and cozy. Close to everything and walkable. I had a suite junior room which was very enjoyable because of the balcony. Hot water in the shower. Breakfast service I decided to take it to the room, it was a small breakfast but, enough to start the day. Just the towels were a little rough for me. I think they need to change the laundry company. Nice place and good service.
A unique hotel in a unique location. Amazing staff, great breakfast included! Only one issue was the site I booked on said they had an airport shuttle. They said they'd get a taxi, but I still had to pay for that. Not really a major drawback, just something to keep in mind. Neighborhood is convenient to the airport. It's not right on the beach. You have to cross a street, but due to rain and such, I didn't visit the beach. The room and bathroom were comfy and cozy.
Awesome Place! Had 24hrs service with employees. VERY SPACIOUS ROOMS! Hot water , Clean residence, and no complaints at all except to make sure all safes are properly working the rooms before guest stay. Out of 7 safes we just had a problem with 3 of them but we shared safes other than that.
I do my best to keep this list as up-to-date as possible. I last updated it in July 2025. If you know of a hipster hotel that should be on the list, let me know. Click here to contact me. Thanks!
