Beautiful, clean, well manicured and exquisite property. Claudia the front desk manager is the nicest, most attentive and knowledgeable host. Breakfast is delicious and amenities are stunning! Booked another trip to Amarla!!

It’s an oasis from the very noisy street. beautifully decorated. wonderful staff.

Breakfast was very big and very good. Location is just about the best possible in the historic center, yet the rooms are still quiet. The hotel itself is a beautiful 18th century house. The classic rooms don't look out onto open space and are fairly small. Bathrooms are charming, though old fashioned. These latter features were something to be expected in staying in this kind of boutique hotel in the old city.

The staff was so helpful, especially Claudia. She made sure anything that we needed we had. All the staff made us feel comfortable, welcome, and safe. The breakfast was delicious and I loved all the different options for food and drinks. The bedroom was clean and spacious, and we had a great view of the city. The pool and the rooftop terrace was the perfect place to enjoy the sunset. I could not recommend the hotel more, all the restaurants and museums were so close to the hotel that we were able to walk everywhere and explore the city.

The hotel is beautiful, confortable and in a great location. The first day I arrived to Cartagena I couldn't stay at Amarla due to availability but I went to ask if it was possible to have the same room for the 2 day stay and I also wanted to know if it was possible to check in a couple of hours earlier, the two gentlemen who were there at the front desk told me it would be no problem since the rooms were vacant. They were very nice and I left that evening feeling great about booking my stay there.

A WHOLE DREAM!!! it really is so underrated. This was the best nights of sleep we got on our entire trip. it was beautiful and aromatic and felt like a little getaway all by itself. We celebrated our honeymoon here and we can’t wait to come back for our anniversary!

Beautiful clean and quiet hotel, amazing views from rooftop and very helpful staff

Breakfast was delicious! Several options and large portions. All very high quality local ingredients.

Stayed in the duplex suite, the room was stunningly beautiful. Bed was comfortable and the staff was sweet and kind. Great location! A very good breakfast in the morning and a swim in the afternoon ... zero complaints.

This boutique hotel is an oase of luxury and confort in the absolute heart of the colonial zone of Cartagena. Only 6 rooms but all facilities as a 5* hotel. Staff is profesional and always attending your needs.
