Best hotel we stayed at in Colombia! The location is AMAZING- around the corner from the famous Cafe del Mar and close to everything without the noise. My friend and I jumped up and down for joy when we saw our room! It was right out of a magazine. The room was huge and so posh. The air conditioner was strong which is so nice in the humidity of Cartagena. We had new water bottles waiting for us everyday and were greeted with a delicious drink when we checked in. It only has 5 rooms, so it is peaceful and quiet. Breakfast was yummy and though we didn't use the 2 pools, they are a huge plus. I will recommend this hotel to everyone going to Cartagena!

Great boutique hotel.

Careful how you book - Expedia gave the wrong description and we got a first floor room (ground floor) on check in on the road by the front door - you don't want this room its too noisy. Our booking had in it that our room came with a balcony/patio so we were moved. Other than that it is a great small hotel with only 5 rooms and great personal service. Very very very comfy beds. Excellent location to see all of the old town. Just a brilliant hotel. Highly recommended.

Amazing boutique hotel!!

My fiancee and I could not have been happier with our stay at Casa Gastelbondo. The hotel is straight out of the pages of Architectural Digest. Perfect location. Room was extremely modern with a marble bathroom and a wonderful bed. Service was fantastic, breakfast was delicious. Will absolutely stay again!
