Casa Amarilla is an amazing oasis in the dust and heat of Mompós, but we also enjoyed a lot the town with its particular atmosphere. The hostel has clean, spatious and comfortable rooms and a beautiful patio. As anywhere else in Colombia, it seems to be easier to reserve by mail than by one of the booking sites.

Mompos is a very special place. Arriving for a planned two days, I ended up staying an entire week and a good deal of that decision was influenced by Casa Amarilla. Located on the banks of the River Magdalena, pretty much in the center of the city the hotel provides a welcome home to travellers who are willing to go... More

Stayed here for two nights in March 2013. It's a nice hostel a few blocks to the south of the centre. The central garden area is pretty, there's a communal kitchen and a roof terrace with some nice views. Unfortunately three quarters of the chairs on the terrace were broken. We had a double room with air conditioning for 65,000... More

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at La Casa Amarilla, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms were decorated in a simple and stylish way and were very comfortable. I found Mompos to be a charming little town and the perfect place to switch off and chill out for a few days...the only dilemma I had was whether to... More

La Casa Amarilla is THE place to stay in Santa Cruz de Mompox (or just Mompos) - a sleepy colonial town on the banks of the Magdalena river. The time has stopped here and it sometimes feels that if you just took the right turn, you could bump into Aureliano Buendía and other characters from Gariel García Márquez's novels. The... More

I loved Momop, and could easily have stayed longer. Richard at Casa Amarilla is a laid back, well-informed and enthusiastic host and made the stay that much more enjoyable. Comfortable rooms, lovely garden coutyard and rooftop terrace, lots of rocking chairs and a hammock to let you sit back and relax.

Once you've made it along dusty roads to remote Mompox (or Mompos), there is little to do in this most wonderful colonial town other than keep a low tourist profile and stay out of the delibitating midday heat. And yes: congratulate yourself on the wisdom of coming here. While there are other charming hideaways in town, Casa Amarilla gets almost... More

I loved this little town so much I extended my stay to 4 nights....and I wish I could have stayed 4 weeks! This beautiful colonial town is a hidden gem frozen in time. The hotel is a great place to unwind and slip into quiet thought in your choice of the rooftop terrace, a garden hammock or the wooden rocking... More
