Clean spacious room with gorgeous bathroom and balcony. Lovely restaurant and great breakfast. Very nice rooftop pool. The only drawback is it’s loud in the heart of the old city across the street from a very old restaurant bar. The staff were very accommodating.
The hotel was very clean, and the staff were very friendly. As someone who knows limted spanish, I had no issues communicating with the staff or finding my way around. If you want to be right in the action of El Centro and still feel safe and secure, this is the place to stay.
Great period property in the centre of Cartagena. Effiecient and knowledgeable employees. We only ate breakfast there but the restaurant was of a good standard. Big shout out to Stephanie who was super fríendly and helpful. We had a lovely stay.
This hotel is beautiful and decorated to a high standard. We loved the breakfast in the mornings and cocktails in the evenings. The rooms were spacious and amazing. The bed was very comfortable

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at Casona del Colegio along with the rest of our wedding party. The hotel manager Mr. Rojas and the rest of the staff went above and beyond to coordinate our wedding party and make our stays memorable. Never had such a warm and welcoming experience at any other hotel quite like how Mr. Rojas and his staff treated us during our entire stay. The hotel is beautiful and conveniently located near all the best restaurants, nightlife, shopping and close to the docks for day trips to the islands. The hotel lobby, pool, and common areas were clean and chic. The hotel rooms were very nice and the beds were comfortable. The restaurant and bar were both great as well. The hotel was secure and had a doorman greet us every time we entered. I highly recommend this hotel to everyone. Thank you again Mr. Rojas!
Perfect location, friendly and kind staff. Local craftsmanship in architectural details. Very comfortable bedding for a great night’s sleep. Pleasantly surprised by an upgrade which gave us our private outdoor jacuzzi and patio!!
We had a wonderful stay. The property is so convenient to all the sights of the walled city. The staff were incredibly friendly. The room was clean, comfortable, with luxury amenities. We also enjoyed the rooftop pool one afternoon which was incredible! If we find ourselves back in cartagena will definitely stay here.
This hotel was amazing. Staff was great, attentive and friendly. Rooms were phenomenal. The hotel was clean. Food was good. Everything was awesome. But, outside our room was party until late hours every night and cabs honking non stop. Bring ear plugs and you’ll love it.
Staff was very friendly and helpful, good dinner and breakfast menu. The property is amazingly located in the heart of Cartagena, very walkable, if you don't like to be in a busy and crowded place with vibrant night life and people on the street, book something else
The hotel was very quaint and picturest. What they didn’t tell you was how noisey your room was from all the foot traffic and people partying in the streets of the walled city area. They provided you with ear plugs so that you might sleep but it didn’t help much. Luckily l wasn’t really affected by the noise and was able to sleep. If you are a light sleeper, l would not recommend this hotel.
Casona del Colegio fue una excelente opción para nuestra estadía. La habitación super limpia y comoda. Mi unica queja es que los alrededores son bulliciosos en la noche.
Wonderful hotel, great staff, but the “soundproof” windows were not adequate to sleep with the partying and traffic noise from the street below. Lovely central courtyard in the hotel and a rooftop pool to cool off were nice additions.
