This is a charming building in a good location. The staff are pleasant and the breakfast is perfectly okay - but the beds are really terrible, with "orthopaedic" mattresses that could have featured in the Inquisition torture museum. In our room the mattress rested on a concrete plinth, which probably didn't help. We were woken every morning by early breakfasters... more

When we arrived they had forgotten to pick us up at the airport (that's fine sometimes happens), got to the mini hotel in the historic area, small friendly staff got us situated, we requested a 2 bed room, and this might of been the reason we were unhappy with our room, but it was just uncomfortable, you are staying in... more

We stayed at Alfiz for 4 days in July this year and we have decided that next time we will go to Cartagena we will go back to Alfiz. We were picked up from the airport on time , we had a warm welcome back in the hotel with cold drinks ( it was a 30 + degree day )... more

We chose this hotel as is ranked number 1 by TripAdvisor members. We were pleased and amazed by the quality of service we received all along. We were greeted with a drink upon arrival and escorted to our junior suite, which was better than expected. The hotel has only 8 rooms, and every single one offers a different experience.

After reading all the reviews of the different hotels listed with trip advisor in Cartagena, I decided to book Alfiz Hotel. It was the best decision I made, our stay was fabulous! From the moment we arrived until we left, the staff was extremely hospitable and accommodating. We stayed in the main suite, felt like royalty. The breakfast was delicious... more
