The rooms are fine, except that there is no hot water, which makes showering a challenge for some, although the hot weather made it easier to bear. Air conditioning very effective and there's a small pool, There's also a small rooftop area where you can sit at night but you have to take your own drinks etc., as there's no... More

Hotel is in excellent location and is very secure. Included breakfast at Luna Nueva restaurant nearby was complete with choices. They also served lunch and dinner so that was a convenient choice. The room was large with tub,shower, TV, AC and fan and Internet was available. Service was excellent with coffee in the morning and friendly staff. The pool was... More

I was thrilled to see how lovely this hotel was when we first arrived. The small pool as the centrepiece surrounded by white arches and hanging plants looked so inviting. The room I had was basic but had air con and fan plus tv. The hotel is secure and quiet, with internet available and use of the fridge plus kitchen... More

Casa Mara is located in Getsemani, although an older barrio directly adjascent to the historic old city, it lies within the old city walls and has a rough rustic charm and is residential (especially the street Casa Mara is located on), which is refreshing, in contrast to the old city which is only inhabited by tourists, more expensive hotels and...

This hostel was perfect for our stay in Cartagena, the staff are friendly and helpful, the rooms are clean, spacious and have air-con and there's a kitchen if you want to cook. The best thing about it is the lovely pool in the court-yard where you can cool off in the sweltering heat!It is not fancy but really good value... More

I stayed here with 2 friends of mine for 3 nights and it was perfect. It's nothing fancy but it's clean and everything we needed, and the service was amazing. It's also only a short walk to the old city and a quick cab ride to Hollywood Beach. Diana, who runs the place, was the sweetest woman-- answered all of... More

I stayed in the hostel casamara for 4+3 nights. I actually wanted to return there after my Taganga-trip as it was so nice. It is located very close to el centro and all the services of Getsemani are right behind the corner. The Getsemani area might feel a bit shady in the beginning, but I never felt myself unsecure...even I... More

This hostel is quite dated and the owner has in recent years, prices increased by 50% making it a bad choice. Near the hostel are much better options to find more reasonable prices. Besides the hospitality is also low in Casa Mara. What once must have been a fun hostel is an e expensive, not really friendly place and become... More

Fantastic place to stay in a prime location. Beautiful old building in Getsemeni, near to the old city Cartagena. It has three levels of rooms, and is complete with a swimming pool, reading area and roof top spa. The owners are really nice people and keep it extremely clean. There are no crazy parties or excess noise, which is great... More
