Pros +
- Beautiful property. Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Staff were awesome and very helpful. Amazing location. Would highly recommend
- Beautiful property and rooms, very accommodating staff. Love the Whats app chat feature for questions and requests. Pool was big enough for ratio of guests. Food & beverage staff were attentive and friendly. Especialmente gracias a Dylan y William fueron muy atentos a nuestras necesidades.
- Amazing location and a truly beautiful colonial property with a charm you instantly feel the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is warm, intimate, and full of character.
Cons -
- Bathrooms without exhaust fans .
- Breakfast, though, needs improvement — the juice wasn’t fresh and overall options felt basic for the level of the hotel. Also, a bit more attention to maintenance would elevate the whole experience.Still, a lovely stay in the heart of Cartagena and a place with great potential.
- The place appears to be under maintenance. The internal patio was messy and dirty, paint washed away from the walls, the room door wouldn’t close easily, the shower door had no handle, and the shower sprayed water everywhere. They didn’t have Coca-Cola or cinnamon for my wife’s cappuccino. They seemed to offer only the basics.

Location was great! Breakfast was decent; not memorable, basic I'll say. Staff was nice and attentive.

Location is great. The room itself was spacious. The staff was very nice
There was no mention at any time that the hotel was undergoing remodeling or renovations. There were no facilities, e.g. the bar area was closed as seemingly the restaurantBreakfast was sparse and not very good. A few dry pieces of bread and thinly sliced fruit. Totally unimpressive for alleged caliber of boutique hotel.Overall, the cost of hotel was high for the services provided. The manager did change us to a sister hotel, however no difference in price was offered, just a "free" massage
Beautifully restored colonial building with all the comforts of a first class hotel. This boutique hotel is outstanding in terms of service, location, and amenities. The staff is wonderful. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious.
The bed was extremely hard for our liking.
Our stay at Hotel El Marqués was a delight. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxing, and the staff are welcoming and truly skilled at what they do. A special thank you to Juan for his exceptional service—it was greatly appreciated.
The staff were very helpful and polite. The food was very delicious and nicely presented. Loved the historic building
Our first room was very small and we asked for a bigger room which they gave us for the same price. Our second room was much bigger. We don't know if many of the rooms were small but it's best to look at the room online if you can just make sure you have enough space. The shower in our room would fill up with a lot of water and Escape into the main bathroom a little bit.
Location and courtyard
Constantly under repair. Shower leaked into bathroom
This is a beautiful boutique hotel. Located in old town and on a nice quiet street but within 3 minute walking to all the main attractions. Also within a5 minute area are some amazing restaurants. The most amazing part of this hotel is their staff. Right from arriving Ricardo at the reception, Isabella at the restaurant serving us breakfast, the lady (Eileen) at the bar and the lady who cleaned the room. We loved the warmth showed by the team. Everything was spot on including the 4 AM taxi to the airport. This is a great hotel and has lots of history and character. The hotel also has a boutique wine store that does amazing tapas and wine. We did a lunch at the Happy Wine store and it was totally worth it. We look forward to staying here the next time in Cartagena.
There was a lot to like! The historic building that houses the hotel is interesting and charming, the staff was extraordinary and very attentive, the restaurant and bar were both excellent, the hotel's location is perfect, and it was a surprisingly good value too
The hot water in my suite didn't work the first day, which was resolved. With no formal front desk it wasn't clear at first that the bar staff doubles as hotel staff. Also the building was built in the 1700's so no elevator, of course.
Stunning well kept and operated
Bathrooms could have been better- the shower leaked
Friendly, attentive and helpful. Especially the woman assisting us with check in /out. Played the role of tour guide and local expert. Great experience!
Check in times could improve with less WiFi and connectivity's issues.
We love that the location was in the historic district and was centrally located to everything we needed, shopping, food, experience. Personally, the fact that there were three air conditioners in the space was absolutely great to have during the hot days.
The only thing I could complain about is that the Wi-Fi is not that great in the room we were staying, probably because we were farther away from the router. That said, it wasn’t an issue. We spent time together and enjoyed an amazing experience at this hotel. We will definitely look here first in our next trip to Cartagena.
Air conditioning in the room was great.
Slow breakfast service. Rooms close proximity to the dining area meant the live music was loud but often stopped by 10:00 or 10:30 pm. The open dining area had biting bugs- I left covered in bug bites.
the property itself is beautiful and has kept its original charm.
it’s not an hotel with a restaurant but more a restaurant with rooms. the rooms are extremely dark and not private. we have been out at the ground floor and had people walking outside our door to go to the restaurant toilet. we cancelled our stay before time and changed the hotel.
Fantastic and beautiful boutique hotel with superb room and most attentive staff!
Nothing!
Clean and original
Pleasant
The room smells like damp
Awesome service. Great staff.
Noise coming from the hotel next door.
