The hotel is architecturally gorgeous - each room has its own unique look and feel - and there are several mini living rooms for friends and families to gather. It’s also surrounded by plenty of dining options and is very, very safe. The best aspect, however, is the staff who were friendly and helpful. I will definitely return to this hotel.

The hotel is very good locate, with plenty restaurants, shops and activities around. Service was good ; the kitchen need more employees to get the breakfast on time ; second day we wait 45 min for omelette and we have to cancel becase we had an appointment. Also the lockbox of the room need upgrade. But overall for the price was a good choice.

The property location is centralized a lot of options to eat and it’s walkable and safe. The room was just Ok for us it’s very dark it needs more lightning and I understand they want to keep the original architecture but it needs a few updates. The restroom was very dark. The pressure of the shower was very low. The staff are very nice and extremely helpful. We only had breakfast there their coconut lemonade and iced coffee is the best. I would definitely come back to Cartagena but perhaps try a different hotel.

Perfect location, mediocre service, outdated hotel

The hotel is very pretty and the location is perfect; however, it needs to be remodel ASAP. We stayed 5 nights and on our last night the AC broke at 1:00 am. The only solution they had for us was to switch us to another room that was not clean, had a hole in the wall and wasn’t ready for someone to sleep in. We decided to stay in our room even when it was 90 degrees. The service was very slow and whenever we asked for something we had to wait more than 20 minutes to get. Unfortunately, we would not stay in this hotel in future trips to Cartagena. There are other hotels way better for the same price. Look somewhere else.

The hotel was located in a nice historic area of the walled city in Cartagena, close to the Cathedral and many shops/restaurants. The building itself was full of history with a beautiful central courtyard. The staff was super friendly and attentive. However, the place was quite run down. The water was never hot enough to take a nice shower, there was no iron or ironing table nor a blower in the room (we were there for a wedding!), our room was quite small and dark. On the upside, the ac worked well and the room was always cool. To complicate matters, our door lock broke down one night, and we were forced to sleep in another room without any of our clothes or personal items, until a locksmith could come to fix the problem in the morning. This is an old hotel that needs modernizing. Currently, I cannot recommend it.

Hotel Marqués Boutique exceeded our expectations! The staff went above and beyond—special thanks to Wilson for his kindness, Dillan for helping with reservations and great restaurant tips, and Bryan for a warm check-in. Breakfast was fresh with plenty of variety, and the team even prepared an early meal before our tour. Cozy, safe, and full of charm—highly recommend!

I liked the fact that it was located right in the heart of everything. I walked out the front door and the shops and restaurants were right there. The only thing I did not like was once you set foot off the property that you were sometimes accosted by persons selling stuff but I know that is not and issue from the hotel.
