The staff was freindly, helpful, gracious ... knew our names throughout our stay. We looked forward to breakfast every day! The ONLY down side was that the pool wasn't open. Otherwise we were comfortable and in awe of the beautiful Amarla.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this incredible hotel in Cartagena, located right in the heart of the Walled City, and I can’t express enough how amazing my experience was. From the moment my husband and I arrived, the staff made me feel like family—everyone was so friendly, attentive, and genuinely eager to ensure we had the best stay possible. The level of service here is truly outstanding. The highlight of the hotel, in my opinion, is the rooftop. The views are absolutely breathtaking—perfect for watching the sunset over the historic city or enjoying the cool breeze in the evening. It's a beautiful, relaxing spot where you can unwind and take in the spectacular surroundings. Make sure to book a massage, you won’t be disappointed! The breakfast each morning was another standout. A fantastic spread of fresh fruit, delicious pastries, local specialties, and perfectly brewed coffee made each morning something to look forward to. Every little detail of the hotel was clearly thought out to ensure guests are comfortable and well taken care of, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay during our time in Cartagena. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area. You won't be disappointed! We are planning to go back to have our wedding reception at Amarla! Thank you to everyone who made this vacation so special and enjoyable.

Best hotel in Cartagena

Such an amazing hotel. The location is amazing and the service was great. The bed also was super comfortable and the whole hotel is so chic and stylish. Quiet and private rooftop pool and the food they had there was some of the best we had in Colombia (try the ceviche!) The included breakfast is also fantastic. One of my favourite hotels of all time!! We will definitely stay with Amarla again when we are back

We’ve travelled extensively, and this hotel is perfection. An oasis is the bustle of Cartagena. It feels like the hotel is your private luxury home. It’s honestly a preferable option than an Airbnb. The hotel is blessed with kind, attentive and expert staff. Superb Colombian breakfasts served poolside daily, many beautiful quiet nooks to relax and read. Would highly recommend to anyone new (or not!) to Cartagena.

What a gorgeous gem the Amarla turned out to be!!! The lobby area is gorgeous and serene. The rooftop offers a gorgeous view, nice sized pool, plentiful seating and eating areas and an herbal garden! The room was comfy for two. Beds and linens were soft. The made-to-order breakfast, which was included, was delicious and fresh! The location is perfect for sightseeing, shopping and evening strolls to many wonderful restaurants. I would love to come back and stay here again and again.

We visited this hotel for 4 days, 3 of those days we couldnt sleep because of early morning drilling sounds, people working in the rooftop and noise of guests/staff around the room (you can hear everything). Also the last night (day 4) there was NO WATER or ELECTRICITY from 7 am until we left the hotel at 2:30 pm. (We had to pick up our stuff in the dark with a lantern that they gave us) Also there was a leak in the bathroom ceiling that filled the floor with rainwater. Never coming back again.
