My stay at Estancia de La Mantilla was lovely, but it wasn't exactly what I had envisioned. The suite turned out to be two bedrooms connected by a hallway without the sitting room I anticipated. However, the common areas were beautiful and well-decorated, making for a comfortable environment. The breakfast was decent but could benefit from some more options, and Wi-Fi was spotty throughout the property. Overall, while there were some areas for improvement, I enjoyed my time there.

Rooms

7.0

The rooms were comfortable but smaller than I expected, and not having Wi-Fi in the rooms was inconvenient. The air conditioning worked well, but there was an open portal that invited mosquitoes in, which could be a nuisance.

The hotel is perfectly located within walking distance of many attractions in the old city, making it easy to explore the area. However, some common areas lacked airflow, which made them stifling at times.

Breakfast was acceptable with a selection of fresh fruit and eggs, but I found it could be improved with traditional Colombian options and flexibility in service hours.

The common areas, including the library and rooftop pools, were delightful, but the lack of air conditioning in many of these spaces made them uncomfortable during certain times.

I had a wonderful time at this charming hotel located in the heart of Old Town. The room was cozy and had everything I needed, including fantastic air conditioning, which was a blessing after coming from a cooler climate. The beautiful colonial architecture added to the experience, and I thoroughly enjoyed the view from the terrace. There were a couple of minor issues with Wi-Fi, but overall, the hotel offered great value for my stay.

Breakfast was great, served in a lovely dining area. However, the early start time of 8 AM made it difficult for me to enjoy all morning, especially when I had day trips planned.

We had a lovely stay in this charming hotel that felt more like a grand house than a typical boutique. The atmosphere was both beautiful and calming, but there were a few hiccups with the communication due to the language barrier and some inconsistent Wi-Fi. The location was perfect for exploring, and we especially enjoyed the private pool, making it a great value for our time in Cartagena.

I had a lovely stay at this charming hotel that felt more like a beautiful house than a typical hotel. The common areas were stunning, and the room was comfortable, but the so-called 'Junior Suite' was underwhelming and had a musty smell. Nevertheless, the Wi-Fi was unreliable, and the early morning noises were disruptive. Overall, it's a cute spot with a lot of character, but I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for a spacious room or solid internet.
