Casa de Alba Hotel Boutique

The staff was wonderful, the location id you don’t mind loud neighborhood, the house is beautiful, definitely not for kids

Great hotel, good service, perfect location and very well atmosphere with great looks…!

It’s a beautiful hotel. Breakfast was delicious. My room was outstanding. Location was perfect if you are interested in the old city. Most of the staff was well trained and helpful.

Una experiencia verdaderamente única en Casa de Alba. El hotel combina a la perfección el lujo con una ubicación privilegiada frente a la Catedral, en pleno corazón de la Ciudad Amurallada. Además, su historia lo hace aún más especial, ya que en este lugar vivió el pirata Francis Drake. Sin duda, un sitio lleno de encanto, elegancia y carácter. ¡Altamente recomendado!

The location is 10/10 - the perfect spot to explore the old city. The breakfast was superb. The beds were comfortable. We were in the worst room at the back of the building but moved mid-stay and the new room was fantastic apart from the cold shower.

Fantastic service in picturesque historical surroundings.

We booked Casa De Alba for my 45th birthday with zero regrets other than I wish we spent for time here :) the hotel is so charming and special it felt like a hidden gem right in the middle of the walled city. The proximity was perfect and close to everything! The breakfasts on the upper patio were delicious and relaxing and our favorite part was the pool area. It was like a spa oasis getaway when you needed some calm after a day/night in the busy city. The staff are very attentive especially Leila. She upgraded our room to the suite for my birth day and it made it all the more special. The 2nd floor suite is stunning with a private patio overlooking the pool. Very clean. Would recommend this beautiful boutique hotel 10/10!!

Our stay at Casa de Alba Hotel Boutique was unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we felt the warmth, elegance, and soul of Cartagena wrapped around us. The colonial architecture, serene courtyard pool, and rooftop ambiance create an atmosphere that is both elevated and intimate.

The rooms are absolutely stunning. Each suite is spacious, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable — and what makes them even more special is that each room has its own personality and character. You can feel the thought and intention behind every detail.

The entire hotel was impeccably maintained. Whether returning in the morning or late in the evening, everything was consistently spotless, organized, and beautifully turned over. That level of care truly enhances the guest experience.

The culinary experience was equally exceptional. Breakfast each morning was fresh, beautifully presented, and thoughtfully prepared. The dinners were outstanding — refined, flavorful, and memorable. Every meal felt intentional and elevated, adding another layer of excellence to our stay.

What truly sets Casa de Alba apart, however, is the people. The service was exceptional in the most genuine way. A very special thank you to Johann and Thomas, who helped me plan such a meaningful and seamless experience for our group of friends. They went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. Laura, Carlos, and the entire team were always attentive, kind, and proactive. You can truly feel that they care about their guests.

A highlight of our trip was the visit to their private island at Amare Beach Club — absolutely 5 ⭐️. The setting is stunning, the service impeccable, and the overall experience beautifully executed. It was one of the most memorable parts of our stay.

The value was absolutely worth every penny. For the level of service, design, cleanliness, dining, and overall experience, Casa de Alba is very reasonably priced and delivers far beyond expectations.
Although in the city center , which it’s convenient, we didn’t hear any noise from outside ( our room was by the pool )

We traveled as a group, and everyone left saying the same thing — this trip felt magical. The hotel played a huge role in that. It feels like staying in a private, beautifully restored home in the heart of Cartagena, with access to an incredible island escape.

We will absolutely return. The connection feels lasting — not just for me, but for our friends as well.

Casa de Alba is not just a hotel — it’s an experience.

L'emplacement dans le centre de la ville historique est idéal. Le petit déjeuner est fabuleux .La piscine permet de se rafraîchir et se délasser. Le personnel aux petits soins pour nous satisfaire . Un grand merci à toute l'équipe .

Friendly and helpful team ( especially Milton, Marilyn and Thomas) who ensured that we had a comfortable stay. Perfect location, quaint and beautiful.

My husband and I visited in celebration of his birthday. I was excited about staying at this historic mansion. The hotel is beautiful, stately, and has so much character. The staff are nice and they tried to make sure we were comfortable. I was even able to arrange to have the room decorated for my husband’s birthday prior to our arrival. Pablo did a great job of making sure every detail was taken care of and I’m very appreciative of that. BUT, if you’re planning to stay here, keep in mind that the building is quite old. Upon entering the building, it’s hot and humid, the air conditioning works but it takes a while for the room to cool, AND to top it off, our room had NO hot water. I don’t know about you but one thing I absolutely CANNOT compromise on when I travel is a hot shower. I wasn’t able to take one at all during our stay and it was extremely frustrating. When we told the concierge about the hot water he told us that the water does get hot but that we could not take a 20 minute shower. NOTE that the water didn’t even stay hot for 5 minutes, let alone 20. We both were forced to shower in cold water. Unfortunately when something that’s a deal breaker occurs, it tends to overshadow the good stuff. I would not stay here again.

Went to Cartagena on a girls trip. We had the best time. The hotel was fantastic. Beautiful, historic and centrally located. Leyla the concierge was amazing and took care of everything we needed. We will definitely be back.

A real hidden gem right in the heart of the old city walls. When you arrive at this wonderful hotel you feel like you have stepped back in time. The original features and interior design are both stunning. The staff are so lovely and go above and beyond to make you feel at home, especially Leyla and Milton who were both truly exceptional. I had an amazing time at Casa de Alba and would definitely return in a heartbeat.

Casa de Alba was an absolute pleasure. It was centrally located and offered a tranquility to balance out the liveliness of Cartagena. Vanessa and the rest of the team was a delight and appreciated her hospitality and attention to detail. They made my stay so wonderful from recommendations, assisting with reservations and any questions I had along the way.

The property is stunning and when I return to Cartagena I will gladly return to Casa De Alba.

the place is charming and bringing you atmosfer 200 years back , the staff extremely friendly and helpful
all of them specially the front desk Leyla she is putting her heard in her job and treat the guest as her personal guest

Helpful. Definitely will come back to this hotel if you come to Cartagena this is the place to stay safe and in the best location all best restaurants in the town are between 200 and 500 m

This was a stunning hotel. We felt as if we were magically transported the moment you walked through the doors.

The staff was helpful, the breakfast was delightful and fresh everyday, the rooms were very clean with comfortable beds, little noise and air conditioning. We also enjoyed relaxing at the pool after a long day of walking around.

Highly highly recommend!!
