All the hotels in Cartagena seem to be very expensive, but we managed to get a good deal for this hotel, so Hotel Boutique las Carretas it was. The room that we had was just off of the reception area, and could be noisy at times, but it didn't bother us too much. The room had a lovely big bed,... More

The location is great inside the old town, however for a Boutique hotel I would expect more...the breakfast was very poor, you're in Colombia and there is no variety of juices, poor selection of fruits, cutted early in the morning and places inside the fridge for hours before they serve you....only orange juice not fresh...the rooms are noisy and the...

Stayed at Las Carretas for a weekend and booked it only cause of good reviews here on TA. From the moment of arrival we felt this really was a letdown. The place lacks in character and spirit. The staff is all dressed in private clothing which takes away the whole hotel/botique feeling. The breakfast area has an open kitchen which... More

The location of this hotel inside of the old city is perfect. The included breakfast was very good. There were free international calls. The balcony over looking the city streets was also nice as well. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

We stayed at Las Carretas for a week and had a wonderful time. The hotel is well located for lots of different attractions and very clean. The best part of Las Carretas is the personal service and friendliness of the staff, as led by Adriana. When we needed directions, had special requests for breakfast or just wanted to learn more...

Hotel is very well-located and staff is extremely nice. Breakfasts were lovely and rooms and all common spaces are very tastefully designed. Our only problem was the nightmarish experience we had when we made the reservation: We found the hotel on hotels.com at the equivalent rate of $140 U.S. per night (for the New Year's Eve period). We booked it... More

My cousin and I visited Cartegena for 5 nights in December 2012. We can't say enough good things about this hotel; it was the perfect base for a trip to explore the city!

Service problems started before I even arrived. I tried emailing them directly to make a booking to save them the commission charged by online travel agents (a courtesy, I try to do when I travel, since I work in hospitality...). I never received a response, so I booked through Expedia. When I arrived, the desk staff was friendly, but the... More
