Casa de Alba Hotel Boutique

This is a fantastic place to stay! The photos are all accurate and the staff is exceedingly friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Milton, Ivan, Sebastian and Christian. They ALL went out of the way to make our stay super enjoyable. They even brought me a birthday dessert with my breakfast and sang to me!! A wonderfully historic boutique hotel conveniently located in the heart of the Cento Histórico. If you have the chance, don’t hesitate to stay here. You will not be disappointed.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️|Staying at Casa de Alba is like stepping inside a storybook—a colonial masterpiece tucked inside the Walled City where history, elegance, and modern luxury live in perfect harmony. This 17th-century mansion has been lovingly restored, and every corner whispers of the past while wrapping you in contemporary comfort.||With only a few rooms, the experience is intimate and exclusive—you’re not just a guest; you’re part of the soul of the house. The location is unbeatable, literally in the heart of the old city within the ancient walls. ||The service was impeccable from start to finish. A special thank you to Venessa who welcomed us with such warmth—it set the tone for an extraordinary experience.||If you appreciate timeless beauty, personalized care, and historic charm, Casa de Alba will exceed every expectation.

The staff, breakfast & location were incredible. We stayed in a 3 bedroom unit. If I had to complain about something it would be the lighting in the upstairs bedroom’s. Big closet mirrors, but couldn’t see to do makeup or hair. I could not even tell the color of my shorts. Easy fix I’d think. With that being said, I would definitely stay there again!!!

The hotel is great. The history is super cool, especially if you are familiar with Francis Drake. The courtyard is beautiful, with a nice pool there and a pool on the rooftop (which does get a little noisy because of machine whirring). ||The location is top notch, 5 minute walk from all the tourist sights in the Old City, but from here you can also walk to Getsemani. The area around the hotel is safe, we never felt uncomfortable or whatsoever.||The staff is super nice, very attentive. The breakfast was good too in the morning, with a great view from the balcony of the street below. Also make sure you try the ‘Mojito’, or the ‘El Draque’, as it was invented by Sir Francis Drake.||The only con would be that you have to pay for bottled water, and the beds are on the small side.

ipAdvisor review||If you’re looking for somewhere to stay- look no further than Casa De Alba. When we were looking for a place to host our friends for a wedding celebration, our search stopped at Casa De Alba. We started our discussions with Johann, and we knew from the gate that we were a fit for each other. Johann and the Alba team were so patient with us- answering all of our questions and as we continued discussing how to make our dream destination wedding celebration a reality.||When you plan a wedding ceremony from another country, it can be full of uncertainty, but their constant communication and turnaround time for answering questions or providing options put our minds at ease. ||What impressed us most was how well connected they were in the community and how well they know Cartagena. Whether it was getting tips on how to navigate around Cartagena or finding a boat excursion- all of the vendors exhibited the same elite level of hospitality. ||We had the pleasure of hosting two birthday celebrations with family and with friends. I can confidently say that we saw so much value from our investment in staying with them. All of their staff onsite vendors they recommend were fantastic- whether it was the DJ, the many boat options, the cumbiamberas etc.||While we were there Johann and the GM, Thomas were there onsite to help us and make us feel at home. Even when we had to make some last minute changes, their flexibility is unmatched. In fact, all of their staff onsite were incredible. They always looked out for us same were always there for suggestions and to help us feel comfortable. They made our stay there feel like it was our own home.||We walk away from our stay at Casa De Alba with an experience of a lifetime with friends and family that they will never forget. And if it wasn’t amazing enough they were there to say goodbye. The Alba Hotels team is now like a family to us and look forward to spending more time at their hotels in the future with more friends and our own family one day.

Stay here! I don't want you to miss out on one of the TOP things to experience in Columbia; hospitality and love. The thought and effort that they put into making our stay was absolutely above and beyond. Laura was ABSOLUTELY amazing. I had tears in my eyes when we had to check out. She made my wife feel the MOST SPECIAL, when she decorated our room and when we worked together to set everything up. If I am able to post the picturecI will. My Wife SCREAMED with JOY when she saw the details of the decorations. The rose petals were lined up and in perfect formation, not just tossed. We only stayed 3 nights, but it felt like we were there for much longer with the amount of time they would inform us about the city, or help us plan something. They sent us links, they suggested special spots, they helped us with reservations. They made us feel like family. Vanessa was right there to take over when Laura's shift was over. And she kept making sure everything was up to perfection. Thank You so Much Vanessa and Laura. We really feel so special. Carlos and Antonio, you both went above and beyond ALL of the time. I would ask them for coffee and random times and quite a bit, and the would run up to get me some. They wouldnt let me carry it back on my own, they would want to deliver it to my room. ABSOLUTELY outstanding. They wanted to do everything they could to provide us with the best service. And they served us with love and smiles at all times. I couldn't break their smile even if I tried. They really served us with full love and joy. And I asked them for at least 14 cups of coffee at random times during our stay. Leaving was the hardest part of our stay. There wasn't one standard moment. Everything was far above.|The room, ABSOLUTELY beautiful! Historic with beautiful local authentic decorations. From the second you knock on the door you can feel the history in the walls. The bed was soooo comfortable. Beautiful balcony view for breakfast. Listening to the thunderstorms in the room with the AC on(🤣)was such a beautiful experience. |YES! YES!! YES!!! ABOSULTELY stay here!!!!

I loved this hotel! Even though the tub wasn’t working they made it up to us with free massages which was incredibly nice and totally unexpected they totally went out of the way for us. 10/10 would recommend staying here. Amazing staff and accommodations. I will definitely be back next year!
