"We had an amazing stay! The hotel was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Santiago was absolutely wonderful and made us feel very welcome. The young lady assisting with the breakfast service was also amazing and provided such friendly, helpful service. We took full advantage of the breakfast and pool, and both were great. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and honestly wish we could pick this hotel up and move it around with us whenever we travel so it would always be available!...

Top La Merced Square Hotel Reviews

Mood Matuna Hotel Cartagena

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very warm and inviting. We booked the suite with private pool. The view was beautiful and even though there was a lot of activity on the street, the room was quiet. We loved that the hotel was walking distance to the walled city and many restaurants and nightlife. The restaurant is under construction so we didn’t take advantage of the food services, but that did not impact our stay. We would stay here again."

Hotel Casa La Mantilla by Faranda Boutique

10/10 Excellent

"Great spot - bit pricey when we went cause it was a holiday weekend, but cannot fault the hotel - the staff, the pool and the breakfast were all great. We struggled to get the right hot water temperature but it was so hot there it didn’t matter"

Four Seasons Hotel & Residences Cartagena

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel and staff were great."

Casa Noa Colonial Rooms

8/10 Good

"The room was perfect for a quick stay. Clean bed, nice location, the shower was odd cause it would not drain super fast (and that’s not how they are in the old city normally) so if you showered for longer than 5 mins it would flood the bathroom… but it’s okay. It was a nice stop for one night and we would do it again for a quick stay for sure."

Soy Local Centro Historico

8/10 Good

"Excelente servicio, limpieza y ubicacion."

Hotel Casa Don Luis by Faranda Boutique, a member of Radisson Individuals

10/10 Excellent

"Great Staff, clean rooms very nice boutique style hotel."

Hotel Casa San Agustin

10/10 Excellent

"The staff, facility and the whole experience was amazing. When you are inside the hotel property, the outside world is shut down and it feels like a sanctuary of its own. I enjoyed my experience."
