Alfiz is an amazing property. Given that people have been living there since 1777 it was like experiencing history: not quite time travel as we had electricity and plugs to recharge devices. The breakfast will be custom made to your specific tastes by an excellent cook and delightful serving staff. The location was fabulous for exploring Centro, eating in great restaurants, and catching early morning catamaran trips to the Rosarios.

Hotel was a luxuriously peaceful and tranquil escape from the heat and hassle of Cartegena’s old town. Our room had so much character, with a quirky bathroom, living and bed set up, plus artwork and antiques. Breakfast was delicious and had lots of options. There was a little refreshing pool to dip into after sightseeing. Manuel and the rest of the team were really helpful. It felt like I was actually living in a chapter of one Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s books.

It's an amazing choice if you have the budget. I stayed just one night, and it was amazing. The hotel is near the city's main entrance (The Clock Tower). The room was spacious and very comfortable. The breakfast was more than great, as you have many options to select from. I loved the history of the hotel, its design, architecture, and amazing decor. It's worth splurging on, even if for one night.

The Hotel was clean, comfortable and well located. The staff were welcoming and helped us with problems we had when we arrived going out of their way to make sure we had everything. The breakfast was the best we had on our trip and we stayed at several different hotels. The decor was tasteful and interesting with lovely touches here and there. They helped us with our transport when we left and we were sorry to leave.

This was the best hotel we stayed in during our trip to Colombia, and I wish we'd stayed there our whole time in Cartagena! Everything was wonderfully comfortable and welcoming, from the friendly and helpful staff to the free coffee in the lovely library, the strong Wi-Fi, the cleaning service, the comfortable bed and beautiful room to the absolutely gorgeous bathtub. The location was also excellent. The breakfast was very good. It was totally worth it, and really made us feel at home.

Great location just off the busiest of the streets in the popular tourist area of the city so it was reasonably quiet even though our room had a lovely wooden balcony directly over the front door. The style and decor was beautifully finished. Friendly attentive staff greeted us with a complimentary cocktail or soft drink option. Our room was the family suite which was actually a small appartment on two floors with a spiral staircase leading up to a bedroom with ensuite that overlooked the sitting area below. A second double room, also ensuite, was off the sitting area with a window facing the inner courtyard and main staircase. The 'pool' on the first floor looks bigger in the pictures, its actually no more than a plunge pool about 3m long with room for just one or two guests to use at a time. You'd be better off booking the very nice hot-tub on the top floor with views over the city. Breakfast was extremely simple but nicely done. There is no restaurant or bar but masses of options were right outside within a few minutes walk. All very luxurious with AC and fans to keep you cool.

A superior place to stay in Cartagena, literally seconds from the cathedral and Bolivar square. The property is more architecturally impressive than I was expecting, with very high ceilings, traditional furnishings and excellent air conditioning. The hotel doors are kept locked to ensure privacy and security, and the hotel feels like a quiet retreat at the center of the action. The breakfast was great - including options for plantain, yuca and arepas. Staff were very helpful at arranging onward travel, spoke fluent English but are also willing to indulge visitors learning Spanish. Great experience!

The hotel itself is gorgeously cute and in a wonderful location (I was in Cartagena to attend a conference in the Convention Center, just outside the walled city). All of the sites I wanted to see in the city were extremely walkable. The included breakfast was fantastic--eggs prepared in so many different ways, delicious fresh fruit, coffee, hot chocolate--it was exceptional! We will definitely stay here again in the future!

All the the staff were wonderful, but we especially liked Harold. He was so knowledgeable and a real pleasure to talk with. He spent a lot of time answering questions and went out of his way to assist us with everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable and memorable. Breakfasts we were great, and we really enjoyed the opportunity to sit quietly over coffee in the courtyard each morning. Thank you for a lovely stay!
