I had a fantastic time at Casa de Alba, perfectly situated in the heart of the old town, making it a breeze to explore Cartagena. The stunning colonial decor and cozy rooftop pool added a special charm to our stay. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, although the room we stayed in felt a bit small. Overall, it's a beautiful spot for anyone looking to enjoy the essence of Cartagena.

Casa De Alba is a beautifully restored gem in Cartagena, offering an intimate experience with top-notch service from attentive staff.

My stay at Casa de Alba was absolutely magical! The location is prime, surrounded by the vibrant sights of Cartagena, and the staff made me feel like family the entire time. The rooms were beautifully maintained with a perfect blend of modern comforts and historic charm. Breakfast was delightful and the pool areas offered a refreshing escape from the heat. However, I found the rooftop pool to be a bit small, and there was no hot water, which could be a downside for some. Overall, I left with wonderful memories and a desire to return.

I cannot recommend Casa de Alba enough! This charming boutique hotel made my bachelorette trip unforgettable with its immaculate service and stunning amenities. The location is perfect for exploring, but do be ready to navigate through street vendors. The staff went above and beyond, especially Hernan, who orchestrated an amazing itinerary for us. On the downside, I felt the tight space during busy moments as it is a small hotel with only seven rooms.
