Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
overpriced boutique hotel , the front desk has very limited english and hospitality skills, they try to charge you for everything on top of the expensive room, As a all is pretty much Cartagena the disappointment, overpriced hotels and it is very very humid hot even in April, its a pretty little town of endless similar tourist shops, street vendors selling the same things..and people harassing you to get your money, with not much to see beside the historical center colonial architecture. spending a day is enough to see it all. there is better place to go in Colombia with better climate and better attitude.

Staff and service were excellent, great breakfast every morning, a little something different for the 3 days that we stayed. There was a bit of renovation going on while we were there but the noise and visuals were kept to a minimum. Overall amazing stay and would definitely return.

It was sort of nice, but weird. I had two rooms, and neither had a normal window. The first room, I had a window looking over the lobby and dining room, which didn't offer daylight or seem very private, so I asked for another room. The second room, I had two portholes, which made it feel like I was on a ship. I could see up and out, but that meant mostly sky but also the rooftop deck, which means anyone there had a view back at me.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Zachary. It appears that the rooms at Hotel Casa Don Luis have unique window configurations. In the variety we have 7 categories with different designs. We regret not having had options to choose from due to high occupancy. Your comments are valuable to us and we will take them into account for other people considering staying at this hotelRegards

The property and rooms are gorgeous, the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. My one disappointment is that the main pool is in the middle of the dining room so it’s a bit awkward to go for a swim. There’s a rooftop jacuzzi as well but during the day, I’d like a more shaded/cooler option for swimming. I would stay again though. The bed was very comfy and the room was clean.

There wasn't anything not to like about our stay at Casa Don Luis by Faranda Boutique. There was a full free breakfast bar with pastries and freshly made juices daily with made to order eggs any style, pancakes and waffles. The overall ambiance and service in the hotel was above and beyond. We have already recommended Don Luis to a fellow traveler on our flight home from Colombia, and will contiinue to recommend the hotel to any future Cartagena travelers.

I recently stayed at Hotel Casa Don Luis, and it was a fantastic experience overall. The location is unbeatable—within walking distance to everything in the Walled City. The staff, especially Javier, were incredibly nice and helpful. Javier went above and beyond each time we needed assistance. The hotel's restaurant surprised me, especially being from New York City. The Italian food was unexpectedly amazing; I still think about it. However, breakfast was a bit underwhelming—small with just fruits, pastries, and eggs. I'd recommend exploring local breakfast spots nearby. The rooftop pool offers a great view and is a fantastic place to relax. Just a tip: the pool on the first level is near the restaurant and might feel a bit odd, so head upstairs for a better experience. Our room was spacious, with a perfect temperature that provided a comfortable escape from the humid weather outside. Overall, I highly recommend Hotel Casa Don Luis. It's a gem in the heart of the Walled City, and I'd definitely consider staying here again in the future.
