Posada La Fe — Hotel in Cartagena

When I arrived at Posada La Fe, I was warmly greeted by Yolanda and Elsy, the lovely ladies who look after this quaint property.||||My single twin-bed room was surprisingly spacious. The room was spotless and quiet, the bed was comfortable, the air conditioner and wi-fi worked great, and the shower provided plenty of hot water with good water pressure.||||As my Spanish is limited, communication with the staff was a bit challenging but certainly not impossible. The hotel provides a list of instructions and tips in English in the room, which was very helpful. ||||Breakfast was simple, fast and yummy. I enjoyed the fresh juice and yogurt with fruit and granola. It was a nice, light meal to start my day with.||||I loved the hotel’s location on a quiet, car-free, residential alley. It’s close to many restaurants, bars, convenience stores, etc. and less than a 10-minute walk from the Old City.||||Yolanda and Elsy were very helpful with arranging a taxi for my early morning flight. I was so surprised to discover they rose at 4:15 a.m. to ensure I was up and ready to go. And Elsy even walked me down the alley to the waiting taxi.||||Compared to the other places I stayed in Colombia, the hotel does seem to be a bit expensive. I can’t speak for the other rooms, however, the room I stayed in would benefit from a fresh coat of paint. Nonetheless, I was pleased with my...

We booked this small hotel months in advance. It has only 6 rooms.||The rooms look brand new with modern conveniences like flat screen tv, good working wifi, safe, refrigerator, hairdryer, and a decent breakfast included in the price all for approx $80 a night. Tiny dunking pool on the top level was nice to cool off.||||Loved staying in the Getsemani neighborhood. Lively, local, great people watching, and a genuine community feel. I can’t imagine staying in the walled city. Getsemani is a vibrant neighborhood full of music and street art. Do yourself a favor and take the Getsemani free tour with Luis. He meets his guests in front of the Plaza Trinidad daily at 10 and 4p. Passionate about his community, lovely man, brought his neighborhood and community to life.||||Back to the hotel. The only downside is there is no real staff onsite, except for the housekeepers and during breakfast. You must arrange an estimated time of your check in so they can meet you there. No one to ask about restaurants etc, but they do provide a map with recommended places. We had an early flight and had their sister property full service hotel Casa La fe arrange our airport transportation.||||Would I stay her again? Absolutely. Great value, lovely staff, wonderful modern rooms, and walking distance...

I stayed at Posada La Fe at the end of January. The hotel is on one of the most popular streets in the Getsemani neighborhood of Cartagena. The hotel is extremely clean, has a nice aesthetic, plus really nice toiletries. I really like the decor in the room with beautiful art of Cartagena. The staff are very nice and made me feel at home. As other reviewers mentioned, the hotel cleaning/breakfast staff mostly speak Spanish but will make every effort to understand you and help you if your Spanish is limited like mine.||The hotel has a nice rooftop pool with a view of the city. Also, there are loungers on the rooftop. In addition, there are a few beautiful sitting areas. I love the open concept of the hotel. Despite the open concept, I didn’t see any bugs. The made-to-order breakfast was delicious and had enough options to keep me satisfied for my three night stay.||The street comes a live at night with street performers and the surrounding restaurants/bars with outdoor seating right next to the hotel. However, from my ground floor room I didn’t hear any significant noise. The music from the street was extremely faint and I could sleep without earplugs. I really enjoyed my stay and plan to stay here again when I return...
