Alfiz Hotel Boutique

“Modest hotel in the center of old town Cartegena offers comfortable rooms and relaxing atmosphere.”

We spent an evening here while transiting to Isla Macura. The hotel is quaint and centered in the walled old town of Cartegena, where everything is within walking distance. The staff is pleasant and helpful, and rooms include a good breakfast. Rooms are a bit small but comfortable.

“Unique Hotel”

Great boutique hotel set in the old city. Walkable to all locations with a great staff and unique rooms.

“Problematic”

The building and the rooms are certainly boutique-atmospheric. There's a tiny dip pool; the rooftop jacuzzi wasn't very inviting.

The building and the rooms are certainly boutique-atmospheric. There's a tiny dip pool; the rooftop jacuzzi wasn't very inviting. A week before arrival, I was pleasantly surprised to receive a personal reminder-email from the manager of the hotel (he manages two others as well), and he immediatelly took care of my request for a room with two seperate beds. I shall not return to this hotel, for two reasons. The first is structural: there is no insulating door or partition between the room itself and the bathroom-toilette, only a too-short plastic curtain. The wooden door to the toilette doesn't reach the ceiling. Consequentially every noise made while brushing teeth or using the toilette is heard in the room. Most unpleasant. The second reason is of 'formal' definition. There is neither a minibar, nor kettle-condiments for preparing hot drinks. There's also no phone to speak with reception. These are - or should be - basics in a 4-stars hotel. On our first morning, out of the blue, we were offered the option of moving to one of the other two sister hotels. The offer was rescinded 15 minutes later, before we had the opportunity to check it. Guests are allowed to have their brkfst at one of the sister hotels, each - a few moments away. We tried all three; the best - at Casona Porvenir.

“Great location and comfy bed but many faults”

The hotel is very centrally located and the bed was very comfy but sadly that’s the positives. When we checked in we weren’t given any information about the breakfast/ swimming pool options at the sister hotels. Toilet seat was on the floor when we arrived, lights didn’t work, TV didn’t work, the bedroom was upstairs and the bathroom downstairs, not ideal when you get up in the night for the toilet! After the maid service one day we only had one large towel, no small towels and no bath mat - we had to ask 3 times for any attention to be given to this. Breakfast was poor - asked for soft fried eggs - always massively overcooked and we could hear breakfast being set up at 6.00 am Not a hotel I would recommend
