Guest Reviews
- Alejandro (9/5): Una buena escapada en el centro si vas de rumba - La atención del personal El ruido que se escucha y la cantidad de escalaras que hay que subir
- Roberto (8/5): Muito boa - Funcionários atenciosos Não é o caso
- Matias (10/5): -
- Maria Teresa (10/5): Amazing stay in Cartagena, wonderful terrace with view where you have breakfast. The owner, Maria, Caterina and Abel are - The terrace where you have breakfast, the welcome you receive when you arrive , the wonderful people who work here. Nothing
- Samuel (10/5): Excelente - Nos gustó la decoración, la terraza, el personal, el desayuno, los jugos, los complementos del cuarto como aire ventiladores y secador. —
- Free (10/5): -
- Giulia (10/5): Terrazza stupenda - Situato in una posizione ottimale!! Proprio in centro a Cartagena a pochissimi minuti dalla torre Reloj. Appartamento molto carino e super moderno, la camera piccolina ma essenziale con aria condizionata (obbligatoria per sopravvivere in città). Il personale è super gentile, Abel ci ha aspettato fino a tardi per fare il check in e la mattina la colazione è stata superba, servita in terrazza con una vista stupenda sulla cattedrale. Che dire, tutto perfetto Per arrivare all’appartamento ci sono 2 rampe di scale, non adatto a chi fa un po fatica a muoversi, ma tutto il resto è super perfetto
- Juan David (9/5): Excelente ubicación y vista a la catedral - Excelente ubicación, muy limpio y aseado. El personal es excelente y atento. Se escucha mucho ruido por estar cerca a discotecas y bares, pero te facilitan tapones para los oídos.
- Pereira (7/5): - La ubicación es genial, en pleno centro histórico. La limpieza de la habitación y la hamaca excelente Mucho ruido en las noches a pesar de tener ventanas que cancelan el ruido
- Joanna (10/5): Super miejsce! - Bardzo dogodna lokalizacja. Piękny, kolonialny wystrój hotelu. Apartament bardzo wygodny. Rodzinna atmosfera. Tworzy ją właściciel Jose, i wszyscy . Obsługa klienta na najwyższym poziomie. Śniadania smaczne na dachu z widokiem na miasto, romantycznie. Można liczyć na pomoc w każdej sytuacji. Wiedzieliśmy, że głośno w nocy, więc nam to nie przeszkadzało. Polecamy!!! Wszystko ok!
- Agustin (10/5): Exelente - Hola
Ubicación perfecta La escalera na todo muy bueno
- Cynthia (10/5): Wunderschöne Unterkunft inmitten des Trubels - Unfassbar tolle Unterkunft mitten in der Altstadt. Der Blick ist atemberaubend, das Personal seh freundlich. Alles sauber, Betten total bequem. Terrasse und Frühstück Wahnsinn. Es gibt nichts, es war toll.
- Maria Alice Santiago (9/5): - A localização é perfeita! Embora esteja ao lado do burburinho o som não me incomodava em nada.
Existem muitas escadas, mas eu já sabia e não foi nenhum problema para nós.
O banho é bom , a cama confortável.
José é muito gentil!
Abel é mais que gentil! Fez a diferença na nossa hospedagem! Nem chega ser não gostei....Mas o quarto poderia ser um pouco maior e ter ducha higiênica.
O café da manhã é simples mas é bom...Poderia variar é o mesmo todos os dias....
- Monzerrat (9/5): Un hôtel boutique au cœur de l'histoire de Carthagène. - De mon arrivée mon hôte a été remarquable des attentions. L'appartement boutique hôtel est beau, original et avec beaucoup de charme. Le petit déjeuner personnalisé. La Rue est un peu trop bruyante, néanmoins il y a le matériel suffisant pour se protéger du bruit.
- Catalina (7/5): Aparte del tema del ruido, es un hotel muy bien ubicado y con buen servicio. - El personal es muy amable y está permanentemente disponible para atender las necesidades de los huéspedes. El desayuno estaba muy bien. La ubicación es muy buena para personas que quieren salir, fiesta etc. y que no se ven afectadas por el ruido y el caos de la noche (pues es una zona con muchos bares y discotecas). El hotel queda muy bien ubicado en una zona donde hay muchos bares y discotecas pero por esta misma razón el ruido en las noches es bastante alto, dificultando poder descansar. Si bien las ventanas son anti ruidos, el hecho de tener tantos bares al lado hacen que no sea el mejor hotel para quienes buscan descanso
- Maria Primavera (7/5): - La ubicación y el trato del personal Está ubicado proximo a bares con cuya música impide dormir hasta las 2 AM.
- Requelme (10/5): - Hay que destacar la amabilidad y disposición de todos gracias nos hicieron pasar una estadía hermosa y también dándonos consejos y orientándonos en todo momento
La ubicación un lujo en el centro de todo
Todo muy limpio y lindo todo lo que se necesita tener 👏🏾 No hay quejas
- Julia (9/5): Sehr zentrale Unterkunft mit toller Dachterrasse und sehr herzlichen Gastgebern - Die Lage ist hervorragend – sichere Umgebung, mitten im Zentrum mit vielen Bars, Restaurants und allem, was man braucht, direkt in der Umgebung. Besonders schön ist die große, gemeinschaftliche Dachterrasse. Dort kann man morgens wunderbar frühstücken und abends einen Sundowner genießen. Abel und José sowie das Housekeeping kümmern sich sehr herzlich und aufmerksam um die Gäste, sodass man sich wirklich willkommen fühlt. Wie bereits in anderen Bewertungen erwähnt, sollte man die Lautstärke der umliegenden Rooftop-Bars nicht unterschätzen. Die Musik läuft oft bis etwa 2:00–3:00 Uhr nachts. Uns war das im Voraus bewusst, und wir haben uns wegen der tollen, zentralen Lage ganz bewusst dafür entschieden. Wer sehr geräuschempfindlich ist, sollte das im Hinterkopf behalten – im Nachhinein sollte man sich darüber jedoch nicht beschweren.
- Ann (9/5): Top - Leuk klein hotel - super attente gastheer Niks
- Antonio (10/5): Contrataria novamente. - Atendimento atencioso, acomodações confortáveis, móveis e decoração de muito bom gosto, excelente localização.
- Markus (10/5): -
- Kevin (7/5): Great location, well run, super loud at night from the night clubs. - Amazing location right in the middle of the old city. Breakfast was nicely served and well done. The unit was spacious and nicely decorated. The AC kept the unit cool and comfortable. The management was responsive and helpful. We had the top unit. We didn’t understand that the hotel was on the 3rd floor and no elevator. Not a problem for us, but it was a real hike and we did it 10 times a day. I think some would really be stretched to do all of those stairs.
The hotel is across the street from two night club/bars. That start playing loud music at about 6 pm and don’t stop till 2 am. Every night! There were a pair of ear plugs on the nightstand which I laughed at, but after 3 days fully understood the necessity. The music is very loud and you can physically feel the bass as it thumps for hours on end. They have other units that are lower in the building and they may have faired better. But the roof top units got blasted.
We love the place, the management was fantastic. But we will not return.
- Gioia (10/5): Un perfetto soggiorno nella magica Cartagena - L’hotel era molto pulito, molto bello e personale molto gentile. Una vista spettacolare dalla terrazza soprattutto mentre si fa un’ottima colazione. Nulla.
- Roberta (9/5): Pousada bem agradável e apoio de funcionários, em especial José e Maria. - Instalações agradáveis , ambiente bonito interno, Rooftop de frente para bares. Super bem localizada e de fácil acesso para Marina e a torre do Relógio. Rede no quarto. Entrada escondida, uma porta no meio da rua, escadas para acessar, mas o José levou minhas malas para cima gentilmente. Ambiente interno compensa.
- Peter (10/5): Een aanrader - Prachtige plek en een heel mooie kamer. Heerlijk bed. Dakterras is een extra pluspunt. Eigenlijk niets. Ja er was veel lawaai van de omgeving maar dat wisten we.
- Melisa (10/5): Great location, wonderful host - The apartment is close to restaurants, bars, historic places. The host and the staff were very attentive. The view from the rooftop was really nice.
- Greg (8/5): Excelent. - The roof top deck was amazing. Central location too. Staff was very helpful and pleasant. Noisy roof top bars near by that stay open late. Lots of stairs if that’s an issue for you ( was not for us).
- Mathilde (9/5): - Loved the decor, beautiful rooftop terrasse with an amazing view, very comfortable rooms, and awesome staff Too close to the nightlife, very loud on saturday night if not into staying up late
- Isabeau (9/5): - Huis zelf, kamer, uitzicht Hoewel de ligging heel centraal is, was er heel veel geluid van de rooftopbar naast de casa. Gelukkig hadden we oordoppen bij :-)
- Florencia (10/5): Excelente! - Nuestra experiencia fue excelente de principio a fin. La ubicación del hotel es inmejorable, muy conveniente y perfecta para moverse con facilidad por la zona.
La limpieza es impecable, todo estaba en perfectas condiciones y eso realmente hace la diferencia. Además, la atención del personal fue extraordinaria: siempre amables, atentos y dispuestos a ayudar.
Queremos destacar especialmente a José, quien nos brindó un apoyo increíble ante un pequeño percance que tuvimos. Su actitud resolutiva y su disposición marcaron totalmente nuestra experiencia. Se nota cuando alguien disfruta su trabajo y se preocupa genuinamente por los huéspedes.
También agradecemos mucho que nos hayan permitido hacer el check-in a las 22 hs, lo cual fue de gran ayuda para nosotros. Ese tipo de flexibilidad habla muy bien del servicio y la calidad humana del lugar.
Sin duda, volveríamos y lo recomendamos al 100%.
- Astrid (8/5): Génial mais bruyant la nuit - Hôtel plein de charme, beaux matériaux, rooftop privilégié, service impeccable. Musique extrêmement forte venant des rooftops autour jusqu’à 3h du matin. Difficile de dormir, même avec des boules quies. Faites la fête ou ne choisissez pas cet hôtel.
- Lisa (8/5): - Lovely breakfast with the best view of Cartegena Our room was amidst the rooftops of Cartegena. Beautiful view. But there are multiple roof top bars close by and you can’t be adverse to music to fall asleep to. Did not worry us but if you need quietness to sleep this is not the place for you.
- Sebastian (10/5): Excellent stay, very welcoming homely feel. - Lovely host lovely place!
- Marilene (9/5): Super agradável o hotel e muito gentis os funcionários - Do espaço físico Tive dificuldade para acessar o hotel na minha chegada ( não tem campainha.
- Horacio Saul (10/5): - La ubicación es excelente.
Solo tomar en cuenta que habra música por la noche
- Katrin (10/5): Kommen gerne wieder! - Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen und die Mitarbeiter waren wirklich nett und hilfsbereit! Die Lage ist perfekt.
- Andres (10/5): La estadía ideal - Ubicación increíble, atención maravillosa . Todo impecable
- Joe (8/5): Can’t say enough about Jose who manages this place. He was so helpful aiding us with anything we needed. We enjoyed our - Location was great if you want to be in the middle of the action in old town. Roof was nice with a view to the street below. Roof top was great for having a coffee in the morning or for watching the sunset. If you are a light sleeper you may not like the evening noise as it’s in a happening area. Didn’t bother us at all but some may find it a bit lively after dark. For those who like the night life it would be perfect.

- Mette Vang (4/5): - Meget imødekommende personale. Taler godt engelsk. Pænt sted. Dejlig tagterrasse. Der er meget støj fra omkringliggende barer. Svært at sove for.
- Rocio (6/5): Pequeño alojamiento bonito pero muy ruidoso - Casa bonita de reciente construcción. Todo está nuevo, la cama es cómoda y tiene un buen baño. Es una casa muy ruidosa que da a un patio interior donde hay azoteas de bares y discotecas con la música altísima hasta la mañana del día siguiente. En la habitación suena como si estuvieras de fiesta también. El alojamiento no es un hotel, es una casa en una segunda planta donde la entrada al edificio es común con otras viviendas y negocios.
- Dhond (10/5): - Jose was an excellent host, fluent in Spanish and English. He explained the entire property to us and greeted us with fresh juice. Beautiful house, great location, very comfortable bed, good breakfast. Can be noisy with the clubs nearby
- Brummel24 (5/5): SI PUO TROVARE DI MEGLIO NELLA STESSA ZONA CENTRALE - la centralita del posto l'ordinario diffuso. E la scarsa capacità di cercare di isolare un po di piu l'acustica per non dover rinunciare a dormire prima delle 2 di notte
- Aitor (10/5): - Ubicación, trato personal, detalles.. desayuno de cortesía, Jose anfitrión excelente
100% recomendable!
Cama extra grande ——
- Camilo (10/5): - C'est un lieu bien situé, proche au tous les endroit touristiques.
José est un grand host, il nous a donné des incroyables recommandations pour bien profiter note visite à Carthagène
- DAVID JOSE (9/5): Great stay in Cartagena - Location is one of the key attraction points for Casa Lazuli 303. It’s very close to all tourist attractions in Cartagena’s Walled City. If you’re into the very active nightlife in Cartagena, this is your place. If you want to go on tours, it’s very close to the usual meeting points. For those people, this is your place. Breakfast was good, with scrambled eggs and delicious arepa in the morning with coffee and juice and the amazing view of the Old City from the terrace. Jose is a great host and will always give you recommendations on what to do in Cartagena. I think I’d stay here again. If you want to find quiet nights away from the noise of bars and loud music, this is not your place. Fortunately, my room was relatively quiet and I could hear very little of what was happening outside, but chances are you might find that a bit annoying if you really want to sleep in peace and quiet. I told the staff that I would sometimes hear a sudden banging noise. I never knew what it was, neither did they.
- Danilo De Jesus (10/5): -
- Agneta (6/5): - Schöne Unterkunft und gute Lage, tolle Terrasse mit tollem Frühstück insbesondere für tagsüber und morgens Alles war super, aber dass die Lautstärke in der Nacht überwog leider alles andwr für uns.
Leider war die Musik der 3-5 umliegenden rooftop Bars von ca 19-03 Uhr, oder auch länger extrem laut, sodass man drinnen eine extreme Lärmbelästigung hatte. Die Lautstärke nahm von Stunde zu Stunde zu, wir konnten trotzdem einigermaßen schlafen, aber es war wirklich laut. Wenn man selber Party machen möchte bis spät in die Nacht, dann kann ich diese Unterkunft sehr empfehlen, wenn nicht, dann würde ich stark davon abraten. Das sollte einem einfach vorher klar sein.
Im allgemeinen ist die Unterkunft eher eine Art AirBnb als ein Hotel, da es vom Aufbau her einer Wohnung gleicht.
- Laszlo (10/5): - Friendly staff and a cozy room directly in the center. You should be aware that in this area there is always loud music at night.
- Monika (10/5): Schöner Aufenthalt im Herzen von Cartagena - Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral und alles ist fußläufig erreichbar. Der Besitzer und die Angestellten sind sehr freundlich und bemüht. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt.
- Vincent (7/5): -
- Martin (10/5): -
- Patrick (9/5): Trés agréable. - Emplacement idéal au centre historique. Accueil et gentillesse du personnel et des propriétaires. Il n'ya pas d'ascenseur... mais il n'y a que 2 étages. Et le propriétaire m'attendait dans la rue pour m'aider à monter mes bagages. Trés gentille attention.
- Mario (10/5): - Las instalaciones muy buenas, buena ubicación. Excepcional lugar
- Felipe (10/5): -
- Lucía (10/5): Es EL sitio para alojarte en Cartagena - El trato del personal fue excelente desde el minuto uno. Súper atentos, ofreciendo todas las facilidades posibles, y con toda la amabilidad del mundo.
La ubicación también es excelente, el alojamiento está decorado con mucho gusto y es muy acogedor, y preparan un sencillo y deliciosa desayuno cada mañana con mucho cariño.
- Ieda Maria (10/5): - Da receptividade dos anfitriões. Não teve nada que não gostassenou até menos gostasse.
- Ieda Maria (10/5): - Acomodação perfeita para nossa viagem para a prova do Ironman. Próxima da largada da natação, de lugares turísticos e de excelentes restaurantes indicados pelo anfitrião José. Apenas o barulho das festas da madrugada atrapalhava um pouco o sono, mas é o estilo de vida em Cartagena que deveria ser das festas e não das Índias. Os anfitriões nós acolheram com muita atenção, dedicação e carinho. A maneira que nós trataram é de valor inestimável. Eu trouxe comigo esse calorzinho no coração que me entregaram. Foi tudo maravilhoso! Só gratidão à "família casa lazuli", ao José, as tias irmãs, à Maria.... Não existiu.
- Sofia (7/5): - Very nice view and comfortable bed. Very good decorated. very noisy. The internet comes and goes. There isn’t much privacy because the main window of the room opens onto the communal balcony, so people end up hanging out right outside your door. There’s also a club nearby that plays loud music until 3 a.m., so definitely bring earplugs. Hot water comes and goes.
- Hasan (10/5): - Very clean, friendly & welcoming staff
- Denise (10/5): - Casa Lazuli is a beautiful place and the ladies owning it are very sweet and welcoming! They received us with a juice, and made us feel at home during our whole stay! The terrace has amazing views, perfect to have breakfast and watch the sunset. We had a 3 person bedroom that was comfortable, the noise at night wasn’t bad cause there was only a small window. The breakfast in the morning was good but overpriced (40K)
- Camilo Gutierrez (10/5): Hermoso lugar cerca de toda la acción. - Adriana y su hermana fueron demasiado amables con nosotros, hermoso lugar, gran ubicación en el corazón de la ciudad amurtallada, restaurantes y bares cerca, el rooftop increíble. 200% recomendable. .
- Maria Victoria (10/5): Gran alojamiento en el caso histórico. Para sentirte como en casa! - La propiedad está súper bien ubicada, en pleno casco histórico, a 2 minutos de la torre del reloj de donde salen todas las excursiones. Tiene una terraza comunitaria hermosa, con grandes vistas, donde podes sentarte a tomar el desayuno o mirar el atardecer.
Adriana, Marly y María te reciben con mucha calidez, y te hacen sentir como en casa.
Están atentas a los detalles y pendientes de que todo esté en orden.
La casa es hermosa y súper cómoda. Tal cual las imágenes. Super recomendable para ir sola, en pareja o con amigos! Todo súper!
- Carlos (10/5): -
- Juan (10/5): - The location and the room are fantastic, highly recomended place to stay in Cartagena.
- Álvaro (1/5): NO ES UN HOTEL!! El alojamiento más ruidoso en el que he estado en mi vida. Imposible dormir. - Que, ante tanto despropósito y tras insistir mucho, nos devolvieron nuestro dinero. Es difícil resumir la desastrosa estancia que sufrimos en esta casa (no hotel). Voy a intentarlo. Como adelanto, decir que reservamos 3 noches y, después de la primera, huimos de aquella trampa sin siquiera desayunar. Vamos allá:
1. Las fotos que aparecen en la descripción del hotel pueden llevar a engaño. Uno se imagina un hotel familiar, coqueto, acogedor y con todo cuidado al detalle. Nada más lejos de la realidad...
2. Para empezar, NO es un HOTEL...ni siquiera se le puede definir como un hostal. Es una casa dentro de un edificio bastante antiguo en la que se alquilan habitaciones con no muy buen aspecto...La entrada es horrible, con unas escaleras empinadísimas.
3. Lo más grave es lo del RUIDO: es algo que no había sufrido en mi vida y eso que viajo muchísimo. A pocos metros de las habitaciones hay varias terrazas de discotecas que tienen la música a todo volumen hasta más de las 3AM. Nos fue imposible dormir hasta esa hora incluso usando tapones. Una vergüenza que se permita la apertura como alojamientos a lugares en los que no se puede descansar (cuando uno va precisamente a eso).
4. Relación CALIDAD-PRECIO pésima. Todavía si fuese más joven y hubiese viajado a Cartagena a salir de fiesta y me valiese cualquier sitio donde dormir y ducharme por 15-20€ la noche pues sé a lo que me expongo...pero es que encima te cobran como si estuvieses en un hotel bien preparado!!
Me cuesta creer la puntuación que tiene esta casa. Que no les lleve a engaño como nos ocurrió a nosotros.
- andres (8/5): - El alojamiento es muy bueno, lo unico es que figura como hotel pero es mas un apartamento, y no se puede usar la cocina.
- Oliver (10/5): Laut, aber wunderschön gelegen und herzlich - Ich habe hier last minute gebucht, weil in meinem eigentlich gebuchten Hotel ein langwieriger Stromausfall war. Nachdem ich die Casa Azul endlich gefunden hatte, wurde ich äußerst herzlich empfangen. Die Suite mit Dachterrasse ist riesig und wirklich schön. Die Glastür dämpft ein wenig den beträchtlichen nächtlichen Partylärm. Das Bad ist sehr geräumig und das Bett sehr bequem. Das Schönste aber war die Freundlichkeit der Menschen, die in der Casa Azul arbeiten. Allein die sind schon ein Grund zum Wiederkommen! Es ist vor allem nachts wirklich sehr laut, da eine ganze Reihe von Open Air-Bars rundherum bis zum frühen Morgen die Umgebung beschallen. Außerdem war es ziemlich schwierig, das Hotel zu finden. Google Maps schickt einen komplett in die falsche Richtung und mit der Adressangabe Carrera #6 kann niemand was anfangen. Die Straße heißt Calle Colegio (nur anhand der Webseite habe ich das herausfinden können). Einmal am Haus angekommen, steht man ein wenig ratlos herum, denn ein Schild gibt es nur außen. Man muss durch das Gitter im 1. Stock und dann die Treppe hochgehen. Mit entsprechenden Anweisungen hätte ich mir 40 Minuten schweißtreibendes Rumirren mit Gepäck sparen können.
- Celine (9/5): Super!!! - Localisation Rien
- EMILY (10/5): Ottima posizione, staff cordiale e ospitale, stanza grande e ben arredata. Stupenda la terrazza - Leggere Garcia Marquez in terrazza sull’amaca.
- Bernd (3/5): Super Lage in der Altstadt, aber an Schlaf ist vor 2:00 Uhr morgens nicht zu denken. - Das größte Plus ist die Lage. Sie ist mitten im Zentrum der Altstadt, und vom Dach des Hauses, welches auch eine gemeinsam nutzbare Terrasse beinhaltet, hat man einen schönen Ausblick. Das Haus selbst ist auch ein altes im positiven Sinne, hohe Treppen, nette Einrichtung.
Das Personal war äußerst freundlich und zuvorkommend.
Das Frühstück war okay. Ein bisschen mehr Abwechslung hätte ich mir schon erwartet. Das größte Minus gibt es für den Lärm. Dass eine Unterkunft in einer belebten Zone mit Bars nicht so leise sein würde wie Weit außerhalb, das war mir schon klar.
Aber es war nirgends beschrieben oder zu erwarten, dass es in unmittelbarer - sprich 20 m Entfernung - auf gleicher Höhe mehrere Bars im Freien auf den Hausdächern gibt, die den ganzen Abend in hoher Lautstärke (meiner Meinung nach auch nicht gute) Musik spielen.
An Schlaf war vor 2:00 Uhr morgens, manchmal 3:00 Uhr morgens trotz professioneller Ohrstöpsel nicht zu denken.
Ich kann das Haus daher leider nicht weiterempfehlen.
- Maurizia (10/5): Great boutique hotel in central location - We had an amazing time at Casa Azul, they’ve been super accommodating and helpful. The rooms are spacious and the breakfast was great!
- Andre (10/5): Clean, comfortable, well located. - Super clean, comfortable, well located. The hotel is in the center, very easy to reach the main touristic points. Staff is super friendly and the breakfast is delicious. The AC keeps the room super fresh, and we have access to the main TV streamings! Anything actually.
- Luís Fernando (10/5): Espetacular - Funcionários extremamente simpáticos e gentis, café da manhã delicioso.
A casa Azul é toda linda e o quarto no andar superior é um luxo!
- Eli (7/5): Bien ubicado, en el mismo centro de la ciudad. - La ubicación fue lo mejor El desayuno no era muy bueno.
Hay muchas escaleras para subir a las habitaciones y a la terraza, donde se desayuna.
El cuarto decía tener balcón pero no era así.
- Jesse (9/5): A nice place to stay in the old city of cartagena. - Casa azul cartagena was a nice place to stay. The rooms were well equipped and comfortable.
The breakfast was decent as well.
It is a busy part of the old city and had many things to see and/or do nearby. The view from the rooftop is very nice and we had breakfast there each morning.
The staff were all very kind and helpful as well. While the breakfast was fine, having a few more options would have been nice..
The thing we found inconvenient was that they lock the entrance to the building at certain times of the day. We were given a key to open the door and had no issues getting to and from the hotel 24/7 but would would have been nice to know ahead of time.
Lastly, there are required stairs when entering the building. Again, it's not terrible but unexpected. If you have mobility issues, it could be an issue.
- Cevat (7/5): Good -
- Amanda (4/5): Disappointing - The breakfast was small and you could only have 2 eggs otherwise you would have to pay extra.
- Sineadmcgowan (9/5): Central hotel with friendly staff and great aircon - The staff that made breakfast were so friendly, the place was super clean, the Aircon was strong (needed with the humidity) and the location was excellent. The noise wasn't too bad but the hotel is beside some late night clubs and bars.
Also, the safe in our room was dodgy but the staff were very helpful with trying to sort that.
- Oscar (9/5): Great. - It's right in the old town, close to everything. Everything was great. I liked everything about the property but, older guests or those with mobility difficulties should look elsewhere because there are a lot of stairs to climb to reach the property. It's an old building with no elevator, like many buildings in the old town.
- Hugo (4/5): Loud music at night - do not come here if you want to rest - It was clean and had good air conditioning. The terrace where you have breakfast is beautiful, and has a nice view. The hotel is literally next to a disco place. There was very loud music until 3 am in the morning on a thursday. Do not come here if you want to rest.
- Claudia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Laura (10/5): Fabulous stay in old town, Cartagena - The location of Casa Azul is superb. You can walk everywhere in the heart of old town. The owner and staff are super nice and extremely helpful. Breakfast is great way to start off the day. Everyone has a big smile on their face. Our room was very spacious and has the most fabulous view. The beautiful rooftop style courtyard out front was great. We’re watching the sunset while sipping on a glass of wine. This will be our go to place and a place we will recommend family and friends Nothing not to like. It was a great stay in Cartagena!!!
- Vishesh (8/5): Very good -
- Emma (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely property in the heart of the old city. Super clean, amazing staff and lovely breakfast. Not an issue but be aware there is no lift.
- Kendall (9/5): Superb -
- Chelsey (10/5): Wonderful stay in the walled city! - Wonderful 2 night stay! Staff are very friendly and helpful! Breakfast was really delicious with quite a few menu options! Location was great for walking and restaurants! Our only issue was the noise from all the rooftop patio parties. It was pretty noisy but we were there on a weekend so probably should have expected that! Overall an excellent stay and would stay here again!
- Manuela (10/5): Fabulous! - The Casa Azul Cartagena is a wonderful place to stay, in the heart of the historic center, with an amazing and beautiful view over Cartagena from the Terrace.
The room was very clean and had a nice ambience.
The team is super lovely and helpful.
The breakfast, served on the Terrace, is tasty and varied, with fresh juices and fruits. The last morning we had to leave at 4am..we got a little breakfast doggy bag, that was really nice. Thank you all! - - -
- Pepe (8/5): Very good -
- Ben (10/5): Brilliant. Almost actually hidden gem in the old town. - Once you’ve found it (look for the blue sign on the wall near the tattoo artist) this is truly a gem of a place to stay. The staff are lovely and helpful, the room was spot on and such good value for money that we wished we had stayed longer. The rooftop spot for breakfast and watching the sun set is brilliant. Beers in the minibar sensibly priced. Breakfast good, and included in an already very good price. Get a hold of the WhatsApp number for the place before you travel to the location. Finding it was a pain, there is only a small blue sign outside that we missed on a cursory check. Well worth the effort though.

- Jorge (9/5): Superb - Luis the host very helpful and friendly
- Yamilin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sandra (8/5): Homie comfy cozy - Location is 1 block from the clock tower is in walking distance to latterly everything. if you dont like noise and looking for a a quite night this is not the place although it gets quiet about 2 am keep in mind major roof top in view distance. The shower was good , i had the last floor room penthouse view you walkout to the rooftop area. The host Luis was amazing he is very attentive to all your needs, he greeted us with a glass of wine and showed us to our room. Luis goes above and beyond to make your stay so much more pleasant. He and maria made an amazing breakfast. I really felt home away from home. the Hammack in the room was amazing . Bed was comfy. the attention from Luis and the staff made me feel safe. i would definitely stay there again. -if you dont like walking up the stairs then this will be a big deal breaker. to enter you have to go up stairs NO ELEVATOR. to enter the penthouse also stairs so you get your fair of steps in. but not a big deal if you dont mind that.
-they could improve in better shades to stop morning sunrise . but if you bring a set of eye comfy cover you good.
-The AC while in the hotel can be better but not issue once the fan and the balcony doors open gives a breeze to this boutique style home hotel.
- Tatiane (8/5): Couldn’t wish for more! - I love this place because it gave me a feeling of coming home. It's perfect for someone who doesn't enjoy hostels or standard hotels. It's a house with the luxury and comfort of a hotel but with that homey feeling. Exactly what I was looking for! The location is excellent, everything is well-maintained, the staff is friendly, and the owner is very helpful. I would highly recommend it! The place is fantastic because you step out the door and find yourself right in the heart of the city, close to everything you could wish for. Just keep in mind that you'll need to sleep with earplugs, as the street turns into an open-air nightclub every night. It's the only downside, something the owner can't control, but it's good to be aware of.
