Hotel Casa La Mantilla by Faranda Boutique

I had a wonderful stay. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were delicious and the balcony room was well appointed and comfortable. I highly recommend and would stay again.

We stayed in this hotel in magical Cartagena (walled downtown area) for a week in February. It’s a small and beautiful boutique hotel in a lovely and quiet street, within walking distance to all major attractions. The staff is very friendly, they took care of everything to make sure we were comfortable and happy. The breakfast is outstanding. The property is well maintained. The room has everything you need, comfy bed, A/C, big bathroom. There’s very little closet space but there are some shelves. There’s no elevator but they helped carry our luggage to the third floor. The terrace is nice. There’s a convenience store right beside the hotel to buy water, snacks or even small meals. I would definitely recommend and stay there again.

I had a LOVELY stay at Hotel Casa La Mantilla by Faranda Boutique. The staff was friendly and inviting and helped me with my bags to my room due to there not being an elevator (if you cannot easily walk up stairs you may want to reconsider staying here). As soon as I arrived I enjoyed the quaint pool surrounded by tropical plants...super refreshing in the Cartagena heat! My room had a queen bed and a balcony facing the street. The room was clean, modern, and inviting. The sink and shower both had hot water and they offered washcloths which was harder to come by in Cartagena at hotels than I thought! The bed was very comfortable and I enjoyed the views from the balcony. However I should have closed the storm doors on the balcony to block out the street noise. I also found the hallways of the hotel to be noisey likely due to the building being from the colonial period, however once folks were in their rooms I could not hear any noise through the walls thankfully. The front desk also helped me to book a last minute beach excursion to Sabai Beach Club via Cosa Viva Tours (highly recommend!! wonderful experience!). I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely stay here again!

Staff spoke excellent English which was a big plus for us. Very nice place, great location, good pool, balconies are nice.
