Guest Reviews

Fabian (9/5): -
Rodolfo (10/5): Estadía ideal en la Ciudad Amurallada - La ubicación es inmejorable, en pleno corazón de la Ciudad Amurallada, cerca de los principales atractivos de Cartagena. La habitación es amplia, cómoda y muy limpia. El desayuno es delicioso, con gran variedad y productos frescos. ¡Recomendado para quienes buscan comodidad y buena ubicación!
Alvaro (3/5): - Una de las cosas más importantes cuando te vas de vacaciones es que puedas dormir, descansar con tranquilidad. Este hotel tiene un ruido de una terraza/discoteca que está muy cerca que te impide dormir en silencio hasta que la discoteca cierra, a eso de las 3am. Además, a primera hora de la mañana, el motor de los tanques de agua se ponen a rugir para rematar la falta de descanso. La verdad es que es un horror.
Joyce (6/5): Think twice about staying in the Centro area - The staff is wonderful and coffee delicious. Very heavy perfume smell, from the cleaning products, in the tiny room. Breakfast not very good. The location is good and bad. Good if you want to be kept up until 2:30 in the morning by extremely loud music and bad if you don’t like being hit up, literally every 2 steps, by someone trying to sell you something, once you walk out the door.
Alfare (10/5): -
Victor (10/5): - Great stuff specially Laura and the attendant at breakfast. The shower didn't properly warm up.
Carlos Felipe (10/5): Un lugar perfecto para relajarse y estar cerca De la Torre del reloj - Un lugar demasiado tranquilo y bonito en una excelente zona La calefacción del agua podría mejorar un poco, ya que a veces se podría sentir fría o no calentar bien
Charlotte (8/5): -
carlos andres (10/5): - personal
Klaus Markus (8/5): Ideal gelegenes Hotel zur Besichtigung Cartagenas Altstadt - Die Lage. Authentisches Hotel Ein zu intensiver Geruch der Duftstäbchen. Beschilderung des Hotels fehlt komplett!. Die Aussicht in einen Hinterhof.

Domenech (10/5): - Me gusto todo, desde el momento que entras la tranquilidad que se respira, buen gusto, ubicación excelente, limpieza. Destacar la atención de todo el personal del hotel que ha sido maravillosa. Pero tengo que destacar la profesionalidad de Laura, todo en ella ha sido espectacular, cariñosa, servicial, información acertada en la elección de restaurantes, que ver, trato humano y cercano como si te conociera de siempre. No se me va a olvidar mi estancia.
Claudia (10/5): Maravillosa Cartagena - Las instalaciones muy cómodas y delicadamente diseñadas porque le da un toque especial al lugar
Domna (9/5): - Situació molt céntrica , habitacions molt acollidores No està senyalitzat a fora
Rene (10/5): - Limpio, bien ubicado y personal amable
Astrid (10/5): Un séjour très agréable dans un cadre raffiné et confortable. - Emplacement parfait au coeur du centre historique. Hotel raffiné dans une demeure républicaine avec ascenseur. Parfaite propreté. Personnel professionnel et très attentionné . Très bon petit déjeuner.
Sérgio Henrique (10/5): Ótimas instalações. Atendimento incrível. - Um dia antes fomos avisados que a rua do hotel estava sem energia. Fomos realocados para um outro hotel da rede. Colocados em uma habitação superior da que tinhamos pagado tanto no primeiro, quanto no Sol de Alba. Além do hotel corresponder as expectativas do que promete. Quero exaltar em especial os colaboradores, que são excelentes pessoas, prestativas, educadas e sempre preocupadas com nosso bem estar. Recomendo aos Brasileiros se hospedem nesse hotel quando vierem a Cartagena.

The toiletries and bathroom amenities provided were not of good quality — it would be great to consider upgrading them. It was disappointing that there was no concierge service available — it would have added a lot of value to the stay.
Andres (8/5): Very good -
Verified traveler (10/5): - Hard to initially find the place but one I did was very lovely. Comfortable room and top tier staff that went the extra mile to help me out and provide recommendations.
Wioletta (10/5): For us the most important was location !! It was perfect ! Old Town !!! Walking distance to all good restaurants, to Get - Location, very beautiful,small and cozy boutique hotel in the heart of Old Town :) Very nice and helpful stuff. Nice rooftop pool plus enough space to chill out.
Martha (8/5): My stay was very nice. Good location good service. Everyone very friendly. But be aware there are bottles of water th - Location and clean Water was 5 dollars small bottle ( in a glass conteiner they refilled
Stephanie (10/5): Great location, amazing staff, super friendly and helpful. I would absolutely go back - Modern, great location and the staff is amazing! My Amex card would get declined but would work at other locations. The credit card payment machine may have some issues
alberto (8/5): - Every thing berry nice
Nick (10/5): Exceptional - Awesome location in the old town. The rooms feel very up market
Stacey Ann (10/5): - This hotel was amazing! The staff was so helpful they literally took me to different stores so they could translate for me I only speak (English) and get reasonable prices because it’s a tourist area. Room service every day, I stayed five days. Great location!!
Beatrice (8/5): Terrific experience. - Personnel was very courteous and helpful.
James (10/5): - Centrally located, Sol de Alba is comfortable and clean. Most important are the attentive and helpful staff. We’d return!
CELSO (10/5): Bem confortável - Gostei muito de minha estadia. Funcionarios muito simpaticos e atenciosos. Localização muito boa. Melhor em Cartagena é estar dentro das muralhas e perto do movimento. Local silencioso.
Maria (10/5): Outstanding experience! Feeling like home ❤️😘 - We love the outstanding service from all the personnel of the hotel! Chef was great, waiters, security and the concierge! They were helpful and lovely with me and my kids! Thank you for making us feel so welcome and at home! Maria-Isolina, Luca & Logan As it is an old colonial building l, obviously there is a natural corrosion and maintenance to be done mainly on the walls and roof!
Ricardo (10/5): - The service personnel made us feel very much at home at this Iconinc location. Imagine living at the same place Sir Francis Drake lodged while in Cartagena. Get ready for a superb experience.
JOE (8/5): - Rooms are very small
Annie (10/5): Exceptional -
Leon (10/5): The staff was amazing. They made me feel like I was family and I was home. - Breakfast was delicious. The location was perfect.
Annamaria (10/5): Exceptional - Outstanding customer service from all of the staff: Edwin, Ronald, Alicia, Cristian and Carlos. The hotel was very well decorated. Disco nextdoor!
Jeffrey (10/5): The staff were so amazing! Thank you Edwin, Ivan, and Ronald for all you do and making our stay amazing! - Everything!!!!!
Anthony (10/5): Definitely recommended - Ivan, Edwin, and both Carloses took great care to make our 2-night stay at Sol de Alba a memorable one. Amazing central location inside the walls with nice views of the city from the roof. Very clean. Nice little rooftop pool. When we first arrived, it was hard to find the entry door at first, but it's exactly in the location provided by google maps. Just have to knock on the door with the sol (sun), and someone's there to let you in.
Luis (10/5): Definitely a place to stay! Super central to absolutely anything anyone would want! - A hidden beautiful gem of a place! Since it’s next door to a club, it’s loud at all times of the night. Little rough to sleep if you’re a light sleeper
Carolina (10/5): I highly recommend sol de Alba I can’t wait to come back ! - It’s a beautiful new hotel, what made it even more special are the people who work there, Carlos ( both of them ) Edwin and Jose took really care of us. Breakfast is included and is delicious !! We had an amazing time. SOL de Alba is Very close to everything , is walking distance to amazing restaurants and monuments in Cartagena. Be aware that’s is in the middle of the wall city that means bars are open until very late at night and you can hear the noise of the other rooftops around it.
Clark (7/5): Good -
Sama (10/5): - Love the staff here! They made me feel so special on my birthday. The food is amazing and the location is fantastic. The room is majestic and we had the luxury of also having a balcony which overlooked the streets of the old town. Definitely would come back here again. ¡Me encanta el personal aquí! Me hicieron sentir tan especial en mi cumpleaños. La comida es increíble y la ubicación es fantástica. La habitación es majestuosa y tuvimos el lujo de también tener un balcón que daba a las calles del casco antiguo. Definitivamente volvería aquí de nuevo.
Lliliam (8/5): - Majordomo Rodolfo was excellent and having him give us history and insight to places to visit in the area was truly a blessing. The hotel is central to the city so everything is within walking distance. There was heavy construction during our visit so it was messy once you left the hotel. Great AC in our room and a nice balcony that was shared with the room next door. There is a nice rooftop bar where we had a nice drink one evening. There is also a pool on the roof but it wasn't very inviting. There are rooftop bars nearby that act as clubs all night. Bring earplugs because the loud music won't let you sleep. We were made to feel like we had the hotel exclusively to ourselves. Breakfast was included in our stay. Service was excellent and food was delicious. The entire hotel has a modern design, was very clean, and smelled wonderful. The hotel staff was courteous, pleasant, and always helpful. Walking around can be overwhelming as peddlers constantly want your money. They do not invade your personal space but they are persistent. The city felt safe both day & night. Price gouging in stores is a thing. Street vendors often sell the same items so negotiate with them instead. Taxi fares are an issue. Airport to hotel should have been $8 US but they hear American and double it. Sadly, the $20 fare we paid to get to the port was arranged by the staff at the hotel. Not nice after we left them each tips.
Marina (10/5): Perfectly situated boutique hotel - This hotel is beautiful and is in the perfect location! You are walking steps from all the sites, restaurants and rooftop bars in Cartegena. The staff - Edwin, Carlos, Juan are all fantastic and so helpful! Some of the rooms do not have windows. Most do not have balconies so choose your room wisely. The noise from the street and other rooftops can be heard so bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper!
Stephanie (10/5): Exceptional - The staff was amazing. Thank you again to the team! The rooms were very comfortable with comfortable beds. Location is perfect.
Gilman (9/5): Location, facilities and cleanliness were excellent, but most important people were outstanding. - Breakfat was good and gratefully met our personal requests.
Giulia (9/5): Boutique Hotel in Cartagena - Really nice boutique hotel in the centre of Cartagena. Amazing staff providing all the informations and help you need. Relaxing rooftop swimming pool. The centre of Cartagena can be really noisy during the night with loud music. Some maintenance would be necessary in the rooms.
CARMEN (10/5): - The hotel was exceptional.It was very centrally located, so that we were able to walk everywhere. It was very clean and comfortable.The staff was exceptional. They were very inviting and warm. They gave us excellent recommendations ,from excursions to restaurants. They really had our best interests at heart, including our safety.I wholeheartedly recommend Sol del Alba in Cartagena Colombia.
Christina (10/5): Fabulous! - Location, clean, beds comfortable! Excellent Staff! Everything!
Lisa (10/5): Perfect first-class stay in Centro Historico - incredible staff! - Perfect location, great little balcony. Incredible service by everyone, especially Rodolfo at the front desk, Jhon at the bar, and Ivan - who literally walked us to our pier door to catch our boat to the islands. Beautiful property, breakfast was fast and very good. We were treated incredibly well by everyone during our two night stay, right from the start of the welcome tour. Room well appointed. Rodolfo went out of his way to help us with tours and managing our next hotel booking. Great people work here! Not a thing - it was perfect, we would love to return
Adrian (8/5): Lovely place to stay. Staff are great. Facilities are excellent, only problem is the noise at night - The staff at the hotel are excellent. Very friendly and helpful, and they offer good advice when needed - in particular, Rodolfo, Edwin and Santiago. The breakfast is very tasty, with fresh fruit too. The rooftop pool is very handy to have. The room is very noisy - you need earplugs
Hector (9/5): Upscale nature of facility - Friendly staff, good location close to everything, upscale decor, cleanliness, Rooms are very small. Difficult to move around
Alvaro (9/5): Superb -
Viviana (10/5): Beautiful cozy hotel - It’s a cozy small hotel very well decorated. When you go in, you forget about the chaos of the street. The staff is amazing, everyone made sure we had the best stay in Cartagena. Breakfast was good and big.
Lynn (10/5): Exceptional -
Jacqueline (10/5): The property is beautiful, and what put it over the top for us was the service and attention we received during our visi - It has beautiful modern design. We stayed in a room with two beds and a balcony. The beds and pillows were very comfortable, and came with beautiful embroidered linens. They provided bath robes, and fresh towels and cleaned our room every day. The room had a small safe to store your valuables and a big screen tv. The property is located inside the walled city of Cartagena which was ideal for us. It is within walking distance to all the shops, parks and activities inside Cartagena and an easy walk to Getsemani as well. While we made it work, the room is very small and only came with a small hanging closet and shelves to store our clothes. It could have used a few well placed hooks to hang bath robes and backpacks for example.
Nancy (8/5): Very good - Nice decorated room, friendly host! The room was too small for the price in my opinion. The pool was fully in the sun 🌞, I was burned immediately. No parasol available. Breakfast options poor and as a vegetarian I received the egg baked in the same frying pan as where the ham was baked in, so I didn’t eat it because I tasted the ham. It was impossible to explain this to the person responsible for breakfast since he couldn’t speak English.
Belle (10/5): Exceptional - Staff was very helpful and room was very comfortable. Breakfast was made to order. We would have liked a buffet breakfast.
Christina (10/5): I would definitely come back. Great location the staff always attentive. - Very clean and well kept. The staff was amazing and attentive. Everything was great.
Andrew (8/5): Very good -
Alexandre (10/5): Superb stay! Great Location! Awesome staff! - Everything about Sol de Alba is absolutely perfect! Very well decorated with every little detail carefully planned. Room was cozy, clean and very comfortable. Location is superb! Inside the Walled City (Ciudad Amurallada), right by the Clock Tower (Torre del Reloj), a few steps from Getsemani neighborhood. Staff was incredibly helpful, kind and polite! I’d like to point out Mr. Alejandro, who went way and beyond to make us feel at home. Also, Alejandro took care of our check out process and personally made us capuccinos at 5 AM, so we could leave to catch our early flight. Simply perfect! Sol de Alba, pay attention to Alejandro, he would make a superb manager! I have to say that the only negative point is the price charged for the M&M’s. I know hotel candies are always expensive, but I think that it went a little too far. And there’s no price table available to check before consuming.
Thirsty (10/5): Location, Location - The locations was perfect for our stay in the walled city of Cartagena. The staff was amazing with answering all of our questions regarding things to do, restaurants & taxi service. The breakfast was good every morning. We enjoyed the roof top pool and bar The room didn't really have any hot water. But we never said anything to the staff. We should have.
Anne (8/5): - Location meant we could return to the hotel for a break from the hot humid weather during the day, have a swim, cool off and go out again.
katherine (10/5): - Mucho ruido de las areas vecinas. Las ventanas no son a prueba de sonido ni de clima. Esto no ayudaba con el calor y las construcciones de la vecindad y las fiestas
Anders (9/5): Very nice boutique hotel in central area. - Very central to all attractions. Very helpful staff. Nice rooms. The hotel is located in the center of the entertainment district, which has the drawback that it will be noisy well past midnight. The hotel did warn us ahead of time.
Zach (7/5): Lovely stay in central party of old city with friendly service and nice rooftop. - Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and lovely design. Rooftop lounge area and pool were lovely for a dip in the hot afternoon and had great views of the sunset. Great air conditioning and nice shower. Breakfast was large and fresh with fruit, toast, eggs, sausage and yucca. City view room had a nice balcony, but street could be noisy in the evening. We had white noise machine and it was fine.
Stela (10/5): Cozy stay - Stuff was amazing, the location is central, internet was great anywhere in the hotel, pool is warm and clean, breakfast delicious and well served. I would totally recommend the place!
S.patricia (10/5): Exceptional - Stuff was incredible attentive Location near to the clock tower not really ideal (too busy with street people, not clean )
Patrick (9/5): Superb - Warm and friendly staff, especially Alejandro and Edwin. Food was excellent. The design of the hotel was modern and clean with Colombian touches. The location was central. The rooms were a bit small and cramped. Although not the hotel's fault, the area is active with many bars and restaurants, some of which play loud music until 2 am. This seems to be true of most hotels in the old city. Ear plugs are recommended.
Simon (10/5): Immersed in the enchanting ambiance of Cartagena's Old City, my stay at this hotel was a delightful. - I recently had the pleasure of staying at a hidden gem nestled within the historic Old City of Cartagena, Colombia, and I can't praise it enough. This hotel effortlessly combines a great location with impeccable charm, cleanliness, and a genuinely friendly atmosphere.
Jessica (8/5): Great location in the heart of Cartagena and very friendly staff - Great pool area to relax and great staff. The room was very comfortable. Breakfast was served in a separate room without any daylight and we didn’t really know what we will get. Our room smelled a little bit musty when you first came in and there wasn’t a lot of space. We stayed in quite a few very nice hotels in Colombia and this was one of the most expensive ones
Nathan (10/5): Absolutely sensational - The staff were absolutely amazing and couldn’t do enough for you. Need to upgrade bathroom products
PATRICIA (10/5): - Overall, the property was clean, and tastefully decorated. The room itself was stocked with lotion, q-tips, robes, fridge, safe - and a welcome candy treat. Nice touch. The daily breakfast, while 'enough' was always the same, and became un-appetizing after the 2nd day of a 7-day stay. Change the menu items. What made this hotel extra, was the staff. Carlos, Alejandro, Jhon, Antonio - and all those whose names I have forgotten. They treated me like "familia." They escorted me at night, if I wasn't quite sure where a place was, offered dining, shopping and tour suggestions. Maria was caring, coming to the room to offer first aid, when my friend hurt herself. And Thomas Dorvaux, the General Manager was always around, ensuring everyone was attended to. First trip to Cartagena, and not the last. I will return to this hotel
Margot (10/5): Exceptional - the staff was exceptional and Santiago was helpful and made the best cocktails!! Great tools and location - very hidden luxury. Breakfast was 10/10
Thomas (5/5): Passable - Friendly staff good breakfast Beautiful Interior Nice Rooftop The location in the center is quite good, though the noice of the nearby discos kept us awake till 2 in the morning, as they stopped than. One point, because we booked this hotel was the description sound proof, but the noice was so loud, that it feels like the discos are right next to your room. Our room was directly behind the outdoor lobby, so other guests would have been able to watch directly in our room, if the curtains weren’t closed.
Ramon (10/5): A place were you feel the staff is there for you at anytime for any needs - The staff is amazing. Helpful, engaged and available all the time Nothing
Alejandra (10/5): - The staff member are friendly and helpfull. All the hotel is very clean, breakfast it's great. The location of the hotel is the best inside the Wallcity.
Ryan (10/5): Exceptional -
HUGO (10/5): - Great service and locations. Alex was superb. Highly recommended
Ha (8/5): Really nice - The pool - small but efficiant room close to other building roofs and when there was a power cut you could massively hear the generator which was super loud not really the hotels fault but need to be aware of this as power cut a frequent in Cartagena
Χαιρέτης (10/5): Exceptional -
Amanda (10/5): Beautiful memories had at Sol de Alba! - From start to finish, everything about our stay was perfect. Excellent communication upon booking, a beautiful, unique boutique hotel located in an incredible location - walking distance to many great spots! Incredible value too. But, the best part of our stay had to be the kindness and hospitality showed to us by the staff at Sol de Alba. We felt very taken care of and would highly recommend staying here - like a home away from home 💗 Thank you for making our trip very special.
Horn (8/5): Lovely boutique hotel in the heart of the old city! - The staff was superb! Everyone was extremely kind and helpful. Carlos, Aldofo and Milton especially. The location was excellent, easy access to all the sights. The only drawback was there were no umbrellas in the outside areas. This could easily be remedied.
Jkf2018 (9/5): Good location. Attentive staff. Description not correct on Booking.com. - Excellent location. Small rooms but efficient iand modern. Good breakfast. Attentive staff. I had upgraded the room on booking.com. It stated that you would have a pool view. We looked out on some poorly finished roofs. Location is good the next two main square in some bars and you would hear loud music until after 2 AM.
Sam (10/5): This boutique hotel is small, simple, lovely, and great for the price! - This boutique hotel was in a great location, close to the harbor and within a 15 minute walk of anything in the walled city. The room was beautiful and well cleaned daily. The highlight was the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful, and never hesitated to help us or offer suggestions for our stay. It can be noisy at night, but this is unavoidable as it is near a lot of bars/nightclubs (just around the corner from Alchemico!)
Hector (7/5): Still a good deal in the center of the city despite feeling scammed on the final bill (2 mojitos on the terrace and 4 bo - Location, rooftop terrace and pool, new finishes and furniture quite stylist, very friendly staff Overpriced mini bar and rooftop drinks (55,000 COP or $13 for a mojito and 18,000 COP or $4.5 for a bottle of filtered water in the mini bar without seal that I interpreted it was free) . Terrible coffee, stained sheets, awkward glass-entry door into the room very hard to blockout and avoid being seen from the outside, fortress-like hotel doors that you have to knock on every time so someone can let you in, dark breakfast room without windows…
Martina (10/5): Excellent - Staff is extremely attentive to the guests and their needs and is always available (also giving suggestions as to places to visit/eat and to organize boat trips). They are also very kind and nice. Perfectly located in the center of the town, the area is very safe. Nice pool and rooftop and very clean rooms. Very fresh breakfast. Extremely good value for money.
Christopher (9/5): Clean, beautiful room. Friendly/responsive staff. Beautiful views from the roof. Location. - Breakfast was delicious, quick, and staff were very attentive. Also appreciated the space where breakfast was served. Would have liked the complimentary drinks that were promised. Never received them.
Gipson (10/5): Exceptional - Our experience at Sol de Alba was phenomenal. The hotel is beautiful, and we loved the decor and architecture. Our room was very clean and the shower had hot water with strong pressure. We loved our terrace and the location was very central. Despite being in busy Cartagena, there was no noise at night! Most importantly, the staff was very kind, helpful, and friendly. Always looking to help out. Breakfast was lovely as well. Everything was fantastic.
Nikhil (10/5): Excellent! Best hotel staff in Cartagena & location of the hotel is perfect - The location of the hotel is amazing. The facilities are great but the staff are exceptional! Rodolfo, Jhon, Santiago, Milton & many others do everything to make your stay a memorable one in Cartagena. A fantastic place to stay!
