This little gem is a Spanish colonial home transformed into a 7-room hotel. While the renovation is gorgeous and tasteful, some compromises were forced by the original architecture. Just don't stub your toe on the step leading to the bathroom. This was another stop in our lifetime "Red Rum" tour (remember the movie, "The Shining") of near empty hotels outside... More

We stayed at Cochera de Hobo for the weekend of March, 31-Apr 2nd. All the staff member were extremely nice. Julio, our overnight friend, was very helpful and made the best "huevos pericos" at any time we were needed the breakfast. Thank you very much. Just a suggestion... the room's lock do need some maintenance, that's all, a little money... More

The owners have put together a wonderful team to take very good care of you at Cochera de Hobo. There are seven rooms total. Rooms are small but cute and clean. The location is wonderful -- near the center of the old town, but just enough removed to be away from the crowds and the touts. A short walk puts... More

Stayed at Cochera de Hobo for 4 weeks in March while studying Spanish in Cartagena. Really enjoyed the friendly family atmosphere at the hotel. The staff went out of their way to make my stay very comfortable. The location is excellent as it's in the heart of the old city close two plazas, many restaurants and cafes. Breakfasts were great...

My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights. The team there are excellent, from getting an ice cold beer when we arrived to having eggs cooked just the way you want them. The pool is great for cooling your feet off after a long day and the roof top was great for relaxing. Location in the old town was... More

Stayed at Cochera de Hobo for a week and absolutely loved it. Breakfast is included and is awesome. They have beer on tap and were kind enough to fill one up for me pretty much every time I walked through the atrium. The place is quiet and safe. The rooms/beds are comfortable. We had friends staying in other hotels in... More

My husband and I stayed at Cochera del Hobo for four nights. The hotel's location is excellent and very quiet considering its central location. The owners (Fabio and his wife) as well as the rest of the staff (Tawnny, Angela, Yami, and Julio) know how to make you feel like at home. They are very hospitable, reliable, dependable, and knowledgeable.... More

Fabio, his wife and his staff were the most welcoming people we've met in all Colombia. We went to Cartagena with our 2 kids (7 and 4) and the hotel was the perfect stopover to discover the old city. Located in one of the most charming streets of the city, this house brings you back to colonial times. There is... More

This small hotel (approx 5 rooms) is on a quiet street in the old city, next to the plaza San Diego. It's not a luxury hotel but it comes with all the amenities: A/C, hot water, TV and wireless (although we could not get a signal in our room). What really sets the place apart is the level of service.... More
