We had a wonderful stay in the bedroom/loft room. Great, comfortable stay. Located on a street near all the bars and restaurants so everything is walkable and safe but far enough away that it isn't too loud at night.

The hotel is amazing, the room has beautiful and unique decor and exceeded my expectations. We had the most delicious breakfast, our server Veronica was excellent. The location is the best , within two blocks you can find the best restaurants .

Such an amazing hotel. The location is amazing and the service was great. The bed also was super comfortable and the whole hotel is so chic and stylish. Quiet and private rooftop pool and the food they had there was some of the best we had in Colombia (try the ceviche!) The included breakfast is also fantastic. One of my favourite hotels of all time!! We will definitely stay with Amarla again when we are back

We’ve travelled extensively, and this hotel is perfection. An oasis is the bustle of Cartagena. It feels like the hotel is your private luxury home. It’s honestly a preferable option than an Airbnb. The hotel is blessed with kind, attentive and expert staff. Superb Colombian breakfasts served poolside daily, many beautiful quiet nooks to relax and read. Would highly recommend to anyone new (or not!) to Cartagena.

4/10

I had high expectations for this hotel based on reviews, it turned out to be a big disappointment. Our 3 night reservation made through the hotel was cancelled, I’ve travel for business for the last 20 years and this has never happened before. According to them, it was cancelled because the card was declined even though I had received confirmation. They sent me an e mail informing me about the cancelation but I never saw it since it was sent to an e mail address I don’t check regularly. When asked why didn’t they call me since they had my cell number on file, they said they were not allowed to make international calls. They never bother to check that I had another reservation for 1 night through Expedia and a meeting scheduled to meet with the event planner of the hotel as I was planing on renting the hotel for an event in June. Claudia at the reception desk tried helping us find another hotel. We stayed one night with the Expedia reservation and the next day found hotel Casa de Alba which was FANTASTIC, booked right away and the card was NOT declined. When checking out, I met George who was rude and seemed to be annoyed, to make things worse, the safe deposit would not open and none of the keys that George provided to open the safe would work which made him more unpleasant to deal with. Oto, another employee, came and was very kind and helpful, he promised to call a lock Smith to open the safe and bring our things to the other hotel. I do not recommend this hotel.

What a gorgeous gem the Amarla turned out to be!!! The lobby area is gorgeous and serene. The rooftop offers a gorgeous view, nice sized pool, plentiful seating and eating areas and an herbal garden! The room was comfy for two. Beds and linens were soft. The made-to-order breakfast, which was included, was delicious and fresh! The location is perfect for sightseeing, shopping and evening strolls to many wonderful restaurants. I would love to come back and stay here again and again.

We visited this hotel for 4 days, 3 of those days we couldnt sleep because of early morning drilling sounds, people working in the rooftop and noise of guests/staff around the room (you can hear everything). Also the last night (day 4) there was NO WATER or ELECTRICITY from 7 am until we left the hotel at 2:30 pm. (We had to pick up our stuff in the dark with a lantern that they gave us) Also there was a leak in the bathroom ceiling that filled the floor with rainwater. Never coming back again.

10/10

It is a small, beautiful, colonial property with wonderful staff (front desk, doormen, cleaners, waiters). Everyone went out of their way to make me feel welcome and safe. The bfast was very good, the coffee strong (a french press, no espresso), and the restaurant has a good ceviche. I worked on my laptop in the courtyard one afternoon and it was amazingly peaceful and productive. The actual room, however, could be improved. The shower temperature was lukewarm to cool (which given the temps outside might be a relief to most), the wash basin hardware is unsightly and should be replaced, and real bathrobes and slippers would be a nice touch (the silky Asian robes might suit some, but gave the wrong vibe, personally). The rooms have a large TV with cable and streaming capacity, and a really great cooling system. It was a great relief. But...maybe because it worked so well, I would have preferred more than the sparse bedding provided. Some high-grade sheets and thin comforter would go a long way. I appreciated that the hotel is wonderfully located, in the thick of it, but still is quiet and serene once you cross threshold; it was a sanctuary. Some historic information and recommended walking itineraries at the ready would be a great idea.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this incredible hotel in Cartagena, located right in the heart of the Walled City, and I can’t express enough how amazing my experience was. From the moment my husband and I arrived, the staff made me feel like family—everyone was so friendly, attentive, and genuinely eager to ensure we had the best stay possible. The level of service here is truly outstanding. The highlight of the hotel, in my opinion, is the rooftop. The views are absolutely breathtaking—perfect for watching the sunset over the historic city or enjoying the cool breeze in the evening. It's a beautiful, relaxing spot where you can unwind and take in the spectacular surroundings. Make sure to book a massage, you won’t be disappointed! The breakfast each morning was another standout. A fantastic spread of fresh fruit, delicious pastries, local specialties, and perfectly brewed coffee made each morning something to look forward to. Every little detail of the hotel was clearly thought out to ensure guests are comfortable and well taken care of, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay during our time in Cartagena. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area. You won't be disappointed! We are planning to go back to have our wedding reception at Amarla! Thank you to everyone who made this vacation so special and enjoyable.

Foi íncrivel! Melhor cama que já dormi na vida! Que colchão é esse?! Boa localização, os funcionários são muito cordiais e solícitos, a comida é muito saborosa e as acomodações são espetaculares. Para quem não consegue dormir com barulho, talvez não seja o melhor lugar de se hospedar pois a rua é bastante movimentada. Para mim, 10/10!
