Hotel Casa del Coliseo

What an incredible experience! My husband and I stayed at Hotel Casa Del Coliseo for our anniversary, and I cannot say enough about it! The building and decor are gorgeous! We stayed in a Superior Double Room with small balconies that overlooked the corner of the street with stunning view of the beautiful buildings and streets surrounding it. The bed was comfortable, and the a/c and ceiling fan brought much needed comfort from the early summer humid heat. The bathroom as spacious and also beautiful. Hot water was always plentiful.||The breakfast was always delicious, and the service was great! We like to have our own private happy hours in our room, which was simple to pull off because there is a small convenience store right across the street.||But most of all, I have to be sure to gush about our host and concierge, Martin! He greeted us with a smile a sweet fruity beverage and showed us so many restaurants and other sites for us to experience during our stay. He was there every day to answer our questions and provide more recommendations. Every single restaurant he suggested was PHENOMENAL! I’m already planning my return for a girls trip within the next year, and I wouldn’t dare stay anywhere else!||As others have stated, there is a bit of noise from the street, but from what I’ve experienced, that would be true of any place you’d stay within the walled city. The streets are lively every night. The only other thing I’d bring attention to is that there is very little storage. The large chest that holds the mini bar, safe, and refrigerator does have a bar on top with hangers, but it doesn’t provide space to hang long maxi dresses. We both lived out of our suitcases, which was totally fine for us.||I cannot wait to return to Cartagena and stay at this hotel!

The hotel is beautifully appointed and is very luxe but without pretense. The living room is very comfortable and has seating on the balcony if you’re inclined. The breakfast (included) has Colombian favorites and good ol’ eggs, waffles and the best pancakes I have had in years. The staff anticipates your needs without being intrusive and responded quickly to any requests we made- sewing kit, help with the safe, extra towels, etc. Martin greeted us and gave us fabulous tips on what to do and experience. We even texted him asking about the best rooftop sunset view and he was totally on point with his suggestion (Movich Hotel and be sure to get there a little before 5 pm to get a good view and table). We enjoyed the pool twice in one day and were the only ones using it. It felt like our private spa. The towels are thick and luxurious too (at the pool and in our room). We would come back here in a heartbeat. We read about it in the NYT- 36 hours in Cartagena - and just can’t recommend it enough!

Beautiful decor and amazing service. Such a charming old colonial style house carefully renovated with the nicest touches. ||Breakfast options were diverse and delicious. Plenty of great restaurants and bars on the same block or just blocks apart. ||Ryan, Christian and Martin were of excellent help with everything we needed. ||Will come back.

Perfect location, first-class service, very clean and beautiful room, it's like staying at grandma's house. The hotel is very quiet, and the pool area is very inviting. Highly recommended. Offers free bicycle service to tour the city.The breakfast is healthy and of good quality

Thanks to all especially to Martin such an excellent detailed oriented and leader!!! We love you !!! He coordinated every detail in Cartagena. No words can expressed all my thanks

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Casa del Coliseo. The lovely boutique hotel is right in the heart of the old city and everything within the city walls is within easy walking distance. Our room was comfortable, but small, which we knew in advance (they have larger and more expensive ones). The staff is very friendly and the made-to-order breakfast is very good. We enjoyed some time during the heat of the day at the lovely but small rooftop pool. Don't expect to swim laps! There were honking car horns through the night and our AC unit was rather noisy. Overall, we got everything that we expected and enjoyed our stay.

My son and I shared a room for two days. The room was well air conditioned yet not the rest of the hotel. Really no bother. A unique beauty as a boutique hotel. Staff could not have been nicer or more helpful! Great location-we could walk anywhere in the walled city! We obtained two separate drivers to the National Aviary and airport. Breakfast was fine. Fun to watch from the balcony the streets below. Highly endorse!

We spent ten wonderful nights at this terrific hotel, discovered through the New York Times. The hotel, its furnishing and art is beautiful and high class. We loved the pool in the evenings after a busy day of touring. We had the room with two small terraces so that we could people watch a very busy part of the old city. It was comfortable with a good bed but could be improved with more drawer space for our clothes. It wasn’t too noisy and the shower was excellent. Breakfasts were wonderful, beautifully served and kept us full for nearly the day. Martin, the two Christians and several others were extraordinarily and pleasantly helpful with many requests, though we are inveterate travelers and didn’t require recommendations. They were quite wonderful. PS we greatly enjoyed relaxing at the infinity pool on the 14 th floor of the Hyatt in Bocagrande.
