The staff was kind and helpful, the property is BEAUTIFUL, the location is excellent and get the breakfast - it was a perfect start to the day. I would absolutely stay here again!
The room was beautiful and they always kept it clean. The staff was excellent they were very polite and helpful Ms. Maria was very sweet! This is a great hotel that offers an amazing experience. The best part, is the location because is near to all the touristic places
Honestly I am an avid traveler and Privado Designer Boutique Hotel was one of the best hotels I have had the pleasure of staying at. Maria and every single staff member I came across was super nice, respectful and extremely helpful. On arrival at hey provide me with several coupons for near by restaurants and they were absolutely great places to eat at. This was a solo trip and I felt extremely safe and at peace during my whole stay. Thank you so much !

Beautiful decoration and excelente location
Nice location and beautiful decoration. We really enjoyed the stay.
Located in the heart of the city centre, Privado provided you with an escape from the heat, noise and vibrance of the city, allowing you a moment (or night) to re-energize and prepare for more sights and sounds of Cartagena. I would highly recommend this hotel for its location, charm, amenities, and kind and caring staff.
Privado was so cute and safe to stay inside the walled city. It is a must to stay here, it is walkable to everything. The best thing is that the walls are sound proof so you are able to sleep in and any noise or party going on outside you won’t hear. Staff is so sweet and so helpful with restaurants ect around the area. You are a short 5-7 min walk to the clock tour and downtown area. I will be returning back and staying at privado with my family.
We loved staying here. The room was perfect size. Maria was very kind and helped us with all of our questions! All the staff were very welcoming. The location was not in the chaos of the city which made it peaceful to sleep. The pool was small but perfect for a quick dip from the Cartagena heat! We would definitely return!
Great location, few minutes walk anywhere. Quiet and clean hotel with very friendly staff. Room and bathroom size is bigger than expected and air conditioner worked great, which was the biggest plus for local weather.
One of the best hotels in Cartagena! The location is perfect for every activity & restaurant. The hotel is located on a calm alleyway, around the corners will be all the party, music, culture & amazing food. Thank you Maria, Melissa & Dayro cannot wait to go back !
We were thrilled with the concept; it was precisely what we were looking for, during our time in Cartagena for an event, all we required was a cozy room, and that's exactly what we got. The bed was just right, the spacious bathroom allowed us to move freely, and the staff was friendly and welcoming.
The restaurants in the vicinity were also fantastic.
This gem is located within the walled city and is walking distance from all that you want to see and visit in this part of town. The property is gorgeous and the service staff couldn’t be friendlier! We felt quite safe as they have staff by the front door of the property at all times.
The Provado Boutique Hotel was a great place to stay. Beautiful. Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent location near shops, restaurants, the ocean and clubs. I give 5 stars because I loved this place but must note: Coffee should always be included with rooms. Cold water shower is bearable. The Luxury Suite has hot and cold.
The property was just as gorgeous as depicted in the photos! It was in a quieter section of Centro Histórico, but close to the busier shopping streets and clubs. This part of Cartagena is so beautiful, full of cultural sites and experiences and is completely walkable for those capable of doing so.
I appreciate the need to access the property with a door code as well, adds to the level of safety.
