Sep 23, 2025Lovely and in the heart of the City
This was my first time in Cartagena and absolutely loved the Amarla Hotel. The price was great for the location, the room and the wonderful breakfast served every morning as part of the price. Staff could not be more amenable. They are always available to meet your needs and are pleasant and helpful. My room was elegant with old-world charm but modern conveniences. This small boutique hotel was a gem and in the best location - walkable to almost everything within the walled city. I would recommend it without reservation.

Boutique comfort
Beautiful boutique hotel. in a prime location within the walls. Breakfast excellent. Exquisite attention to details providing a pampered feel to the room. Considering the building is very old they did a great job in restoring it.

Absolutely perfect stay, stunningly beautiful hotel
Absolutely love this hotel. Location: perfect location, in the center of old town, walkable to everywhere. Ambience: it's as good as the photos if not better. Stunning lobby and rooftop, the room is beautiful down to every detail. Comfort: very comfortable bed and nice linens. Strong A/C which is very nice to have in Cartagena. Service: super friendly and kind. Bathroom and Shower: good water pressure and hot water. The bathroom is a little worn but it's beautiful and it reads more as rustic chic. I loved this hotel, it really is special!

Great location, service and value
My wife and I stayed here two nights. We wanted to find a nice hotel in the central part of historical Cartagena without spending a fortune at one of the top end hotels that are $300-$500 per night. Yet, this was our 20th anniversary, so we wanted something nice. This perfectly fit what we were looking for. This boutique hotel in the historical home of a wealthy family offered amazing service and helped with all our needs. The ambiance and even fragrance was incredible. I fact, we found the store that sold the fragrance and bought some to bring home. The room was spacious and clean with comfortable beds and fast enough WiFi as well as high end soaps, shampoo, conditioner and lotions. The air conditioner also functioned well which is needed with the hotter temperatures. The decor was a great mix of former Spanish influence and indigenous Columbian. The rooftop area was well designed with a 1.4 meter deep soaking pool and an sitting area at the top which offered great views and sea breeze/view. The only two things that were less than excellent was that our shower only had mildly warm water and the cushion covers for the rooftop were being cleaned two of the three days which took away from some of the comfort and aesthetic of the rooftop. However, I would highly recommend this hotel. On the roof

Beautiful hotel, fantastic location, great staff.
Loved this place and everything about it from the architecture to the interior design, the people and breakfast. Shout out to George who was very welcoming and knowledgable as was I have to say all the other staff. Would highly recommend. Ps the views from the pool are stunning and can use even after check out in the day, has a shower and bathroom to use too so can freshen up before any flight.
