As a native of Cartagena I just have a wonderfull experience staying with my wife in Casa Carretero located in the heart of traditional Cartagena old district Getsemani.

We ware very impressed by the excellent job of recovering a classic construction and transforming it in a pleasant site with all the confort and all the facilities of a hospitality business.

The quiet sourrandings and amenities of a tipical area of the old city, gives you the opportunity of knowing the real Cartagena away of the massive tourist areas.

The personalized service you recive makes you part of the home and the warm behavior of the employees makes you feel the character of the people of the city and give you the confidence to come back and recomend your friends looking for a nice travel expirience.

Good entertaining places walking distance and secure, gives you the ideal complement for a pleasant stay.

The hotel is decorated tastefully, the rooms are well appointed and the beds are comfortable. The service is what extends above and beyond what I normally have encountered at other boutique hotels. Alicia and Luis take care of you while you are there and they are great at it! Any amenity is catered to from food to directions, taxi reservations and destination suggestions. The vibe is quiet and kind. The dipping pool on the roof provides a relaxed oasis, with a view of the surrounding neighborhood as well. It's a quick walk from the hotel to the Centro Historico, and the neighborhood around the hotel is vibrant with life and people hanging out in the local square. I would highly recommend staying here!

I just stay one night in it, but the room, the bed all of it in the bedroom was perfect for rest and take the breath to continue my day work. Also the employers make you feel as you´r in home.

We are in our mid 50's, well-travelled and fluent in Spanish. We were very satisfied with the friendly attentive service of our house staff, Alicia and Luis. The comforts of air conditioning (room by room adjustable), flat screen tv and stereo systems, comfortable beds, soft cotton sheets and bathroom amenities, excellent house cleaning, breakfasts and well apportioned use of space.
Recommendations: Need new computer for guests; very little closet space in Java room could be offset by adding HOOKS to hang damp clothes and wet towels/bathing suits.
