A gem of a hotel!
My kids and I stayed at Casa De Alba for 4 nights in early June. We found the room and hotel in line with the online description. The room was comfortable and clean and the staff was super helpful and responsive. We appreciated breakfast which was filling and delicious. The front desk always gave good recommendations and booked the walking and beach tours for us. The location was also extremely convenient. Overall, an A+! We would definitely stay here again.

I stayed in room 11 at Casa De Alba for 9 nights in early September 2023. This was a great hotel with excellent staff and an awesome location. The staff went the extra mile helping me plan my days and navigate the streets of Cartegna. I really enjoyed the pool after a long day of adventuring. My only complaint is there is no hot water unless you ask for it. It was explained that the d city doesn’t have adequate water but I’m not sure if that’s true or not. I would stay here again.

8/10 Very good

This is a 5* if all that counted is charm character, design, excellent location, and friendly helpful staff. 4* rating is mainly because it presents a number of practical challenges for those expecting your typical luxury / high-end business hotel. Biggest is the lack of phones in the rooms, so even for a cup of coffee, or simple question in the middle of the night you have to lug it down to the reception desk. Again, it’s a wonderful, 5* level property when it comes to charm, character, and design, but definitely not for those looking for more traditional 5* level amenities and services.

Great location, the best is the staff working at the Hotel, they really make a difference. If I ever come back to Cartagena, Casa de Alba would be the place to stay.

We had an amazing stay. This is a historical landmark, and as a result of it being a historical site, there are areas that are not air conditioned. But our room was kept cool and comfortable. The staff went out of their way to meet our every need. Breakfast was delicious. The location is safe and central.

Prioerty is on best street behind walls of the old city. Casa de Alba was built in 1500's and was actual HQ of Sir Francis Drake after sacking Cartagena. History, charm, location and service.

Amazing Property with Warm and Friendly Staff
Our stay at Casa De Alba was perfect. The property is absolutely gorgeous, located right in the center of historic old town Cartagena. The service was incredible. I can't say enough about the amazing and always friendly staff. Antonio was extremely helpful in showing us around the city, making dinner arrangements, island tour, and more. Jorge in my opinion is the best bartender in Cartagena! The food was also fabulous, and you couldn't beat the view/ambience having breakfast on the 2 floor balcony in the morning. We came with 2 children, and everyone had a great time. We look forward to coming back. Thank you to all the staff that I did not mention. Everyone was awesome! Made this last stop on our 3 city tour the perfect end to our vacation.

Best Hotel ever.
Best hotel ever. Totally recommended. Better than the bigger hotels in the old city, plus it has a big historical significance as it was an important house during the Cartagena siege under pirate Francis Drake.

Beautiful old colonial house in the centre of the old city. Surrounded by shops and nice restaurants. Cute roof top with small pool. Very friendly helpful staff (particularly Jorge) and excellent food for room service and fresh breakfast. Highly recommended.

A very small (seven room) boutique hotel, excellent location inside of the "walled city". The staff was amazing and if my travels ever take me back to Cartagena this is, without a doubt, where I would want to stay!

I felt like a queen staying here for a long weekend. The property being on the older side could use a handyman for very minor things but overall it was a beautiful and excellent place to lay my head. I would return over and over again.
