his was our first time in Cartagena, and I am so glad we chose Casa San Agustín for our stay. From the moment we arrived, the experience felt special. We were checked in by Andrew and welcomed with beverages and cool towels, which made for a wonderful start to our stay. After check-in, we were given a tour of the property, informed of the available services and escorted to our room, where our bags were already waiting.The hotel is beautiful and full of history and charm, yet everything feels modern, upscale and thoughtfully maintained. Its location in the Walled City was incredibly convenient for exploring shops, dining and nearby sights, but at the same time the hotel still felt peaceful and tucked away. With only 30-plus rooms, it felt intimate and personal — more like a private retreat than a traditional hotel. Our room was excellent, and the terrace was absolutely a standout feature that we really enjoyed.Once we settled in, we took advantage of the spa and later had a fabulous dinner at Alma. Dining outside under the stars while listening to a lovely four-piece band made for a truly memorable evening, and it ended up being one of the best meals of our trip. Breakfast the next morning was just as impressive. My wife even asked for something that was not on the menu, and the team was happy to accommodate her, which said a lot about their approach to service and hospitality.Andrew and the entire team made us feel genuinely welcome throughout our stay. The personalized service was exceptional and played a big part in making the experience so memorable. If we return to Cartagena, this would without question be the one and only place we would stay. Highly recommended.

One of the best hotel experiences we’ve had. Full stop.

Casa San Agustin is special. The room was beautiful, the pool was gorgeous — one of those spaces you don’t want to leave. But what sets this place apart is the design. Thoughtful, collected, unique. Not a hotel that feels designed — one that feels curated. The trees, the pottery, the details everywhere.The service was exceptional across the board. A few people worth naming: Paola, Estefany, and Yanellis at the front made us feel taken care of from the moment we arrived — Yanellis in particular handled every reservation without a hitch. Orlando at breakfast was warm and attentive every morning. Amanda at the pool kept things flowing perfectly. And Jaime — our porter — was always there to help.The food at Alma was exquisite. Breakfast alone is worth it — fresh fruits, fresh juices, great eggs, great avocado. Dinner outside with the live band was a chef’s kiss moment.The hotel also arranged our trip to Acasi Beach — their beach, about 40 minutes by speedboat. Relaxing, beautiful, seamless.If you’re going to Cartagena, stay here. And if we go back, we will.

Transported to another world
02 Apr 2026
Absolutely incredible. Most gorgeous boutique hotel right at the heart of the best of Cartagena. I felt like I was transported to another world. Beautiful architecture and design with raw stone and wood elements surrounded by thriving plants. Service was the best I’ve ever had at a hotel down to the smallest details. Should be 5 star and highly, highly recommend

Beautiful boutique hotel with exceptional service, spotless rooms, and excellent dining. We would definitely return.

I stayed here for a short week with my family. The hotel is located in a beautiful historic building in the historic part of Cartagena. We had 0 complaints. The staff at the hotel is likely the best part as they go above and beyond to satisfy all your needs, they were perfect. The room was very clean, very spacious and very clean, as you would expect in this type of hotel. The breakfast is à la carte which is not our favorite as we prefer buffets but again quality and selection were perfect. If we visit Cartagena again, for sure we will stay again at this 5 star boutique hotel. We also had dinner at the hotel testaurant Alma, and in the same spirit of excellence at the hotel Alma was very enjoyable.
