No tome desayuno! La recámara estuvo más o menos limpia, aunque siempre preguntaban que si quería limpieza creo la actitud de la gente perfecta creo q el piso estaba un poco lleno de polvo porque tenía una habitación con balcón y fue la mejor. El lugar muy céntrico y seguro. Lo único que pudiera criticar es el wifi de caía mucho, los hostess la muchacha, la señora y el señor del turno de la noche muy atentos. Y siempre tratando de ayudar todo el personal con una sonrisa y atentos a uno. Gracias.

Beautiful boutique hotel located in an excellent location, walkable to many points of interest and restaurants. Rooms were designed beautifully and spacious. Breakfast vouchers are given to a nearby restaurant which offers traditional Colombian breakfast food. The pool is more of a dip pool but still great.

Honestly I am an avid traveler and Privado Designer Boutique Hotel was one of the best hotels I have had the pleasure of staying at. Maria and every single staff member I came across was super nice, respectful and extremely helpful. On arrival at hey provide me with several coupons for near by restaurants and they were absolutely great places to eat at. This was a solo trip and I felt extremely safe and at peace during my whole stay. Thank you so much ! - From Christopher.

Nice hotel, helpful staff. We were given a packet of coupons for various restaurants in the area. We used as many as we could and got free drinks and appetizers at three different restaurants. Not only did we save money, but we got to experience different establishments, all excellent choices places to dine.

Perfect escape

Located in the heart of the city centre, Privado provided you with an escape from the heat, noise and vibrance of the city, allowing you a moment (or night) to re-energize and prepare for more sights and sounds of Cartagena. I would highly recommend this hotel for its location, charm, amenities, and kind and caring staff.

Privado was so cute and safe to stay inside the walled city. It is a must to stay here, it is walkable to everything. The best thing is that the walls are sound proof so you are able to sleep in and any noise or party going on outside you won’t hear. Staff is so sweet and so helpful with restaurants ect around the area. You are a short 5-7 min walk to the clock tour and downtown area. I will be returning back and staying at privado with my family.

We loved staying here. The room was perfect size. Maria was very kind and helped us with all of our questions! All the staff were very welcoming. The location was not in the chaos of the city which made it peaceful to sleep. The pool was small but perfect for a quick dip from the Cartagena heat! We would definitely return!

Perfect boutique hotel in perfect location

Incredible boutique hotel with amazing privacy , comfort and a location that just cannot be beat! I stayed at the hotel before when it was a “self served” hotel and I have to say I’m super happy to know that it turned into a full boutique hotel now. It’s located in one of the best neighborhoods of the walled city within 1-5 mins walking distance of all the best restaurants in Cartagena. The Rooms are really well appointed , the hotel is incredibly clean and smells soooo good ! There is a very small plunge pool to dip your feet on a hot day but don’t expect much of it. The breakfast is served at a cande restaurant which is about 3 blocks away and one of the great restaurants of the city but while it serves traditional Colombian food, I do wish they had more international options. As a tourism professional, I think it’d make more sense for the hotel to partner with the gorgeous little cafe next door to them which serves amazing food ….literally out the hotel’s door next door. This is really a perfect little hotel
