We found the Alfiz hotel on Trip Advisor and stayed for 5 nights, together with some friends of ours. We loved every minute of our stay at the hotel. The hotel is exactly as the pictures look. The rooms are spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. The linen and toweling are high quality and immaculately clean. The breakfasts were fresh, healthy... More

We used Trip Advisor to review several options for our recent trip to Cartagena. The staff were very welcoming and friendly from the moment we arrived until we departed. From time to time we had questions regarding things to do, services, or simply directions and we were always given the time for complete explanations and responses. Our room was very... More

Alfiz was on our short list of hotels for Cartagena, and since we had time, we decided to check out the rooms before committing. We were disappointed to find that the rooms were nothing like the photos we had found online. The one we saw was dark and dank, with poor finishing. We were also quoted a higher price than... More

This was a wonderful find through trip advisor. It is in the heart of the old city. We were welcomed by the staff warmly. They were helpful, courteous and available. The rooms are different but we had a great room on the ground floor. Breakfast was good and fresh. You could easily spend days here while you explore Cartagena.

This is really a boutique hotel and has an authentic feel of being in another place - very quaint and in a great location to see all the attractions (although inside the walled city is very small - you can walk around the whole place in 15 mins). It isn't fancy, but clean and well kept. The staff was very... More

For 2/3 of the price of a room at the Hotel Quadrifolio or the Sofitel Santa Clara (both more beautiful but farther from most attractions), you get the best hotel location in the Centro, and a huge amount of space. We had a junior suite, and that meant we had a loft master bedroom, a small downstairs bedroom with its... More

We were guests for three nights and had a wonderful experience. We had a two floor room, so it felt more like an apartment. The sheets and towels were first rate. There was no water for city centro for a couple of days. The staff carried up buckets of water to our room. The staff spoke English, which was rare... More

This is among the most memorable hotels we've stayed at. Lovely room - and pleasant owners. Our 2nd floor room was excellent - spacious with an upstairs loft/bedroom and downstairs seating area + fridge and bathroom. The rooms are arranged around a very pretty central patio/courtyard where a delicious breakfast is served - excellent fruit and definitely the best coffee... More

I am not sure how much other hotels cost in Cartagena but it seemed pricey after the hotels in Panama. Nevertheless, it is in a very good location and is a very beautiful hotel. The staff were friendly, but not very informed. They seemed more interesting in selling tours which did not work for us because we prefer to get... More
