I read the reviews on this hotel before booking it and it had been highly rated for good reason. I am a female and was traveling alone and I felt so comfortable here. The owners and staff are warm, professional, and helpful. They gave me many tips for how to negotiate the city, for example what to pay taxi drivers.... More

Hotel Castel was a home away from home. The owners Alexandra and Peter are so gracious and giving of their time. Breakfast every morning was typical american, it was nice to have coffee and juice after a long night of drinking anejo rum. The pool was a must every morning before the walk into the centro historico, which only takes... More

My husband and I stayed at Casa Castel for 3 nights in December. The owners Peter and Alex were very welcoming and hospitable. The property is newly renovated, very clean, and tastefully decorated. Common areas are comfortable and relaxing. The B&B is located in Manga, which is more local and not very touristy. That being said, you have to take... More

This boutique hotel is owned and run by an Italian couple. They make you feel right at home here. They keep the place very clean and are just great people at heart. The hotel and room designs are pretty cool. I'd like to have a home like this someday. Also, you are only a 20-25 minute walk from the Old... More

the service is excellent, is super clean and the location is wonderful. you are in cartagena but located in a very traditional neighborhood, you can see cartagena from another point of view, you do not feel like a tourist in Manga specially in this hotel. my only negative coment was the breakfast very small.

The hotel is in a residential neighborhood with no sign outside. You really have to be able to give taxis directions just in case they don't know where it is. Although, that's not too hard since the tourist area is fairly small and easy to navigate. At first, we were going to move to the center, but decided to stay... More

This is a newer building but delightfully and tastefully constructed, true to the feel of this beautiful city. The rooms are large, and have air-conditioning and ceiling fans, television, wi-fi (now in most rooms), beautiful private bathrooms, and most important, are comfortable and impeccably clean. The hotel exudes a tranquility and homeyness that is very soothing after a day in... More

This is a wonderful boutique hotel in the Manga barrio of Cartagena. The only difficulty was finding it- they don't have a sign with the name of the place and it is located on a quiet side street. The rooms are very comfortable, the pool is attractive and quiet. The best part is the staff. The manager, Tatiana, and housekeeper... More

Without question this is a beautiful place to stay. The pictures on the website don't do it justice. One of the young ladies that worked there gave me a tour of the building and the grounds. The swimming pool area is really nice. The building is nice and it is convenient. In addition the bed and breakfast is very large.... More
