I enjoyed my stay at Casa Boutique Hortensia despite some minor issues. The location was fantastic and the staff, especially Gregoria, were very welcoming. However, the breakfast service was slow, and the lighting in the room could have been better.

My stay at Casa Boutique Hortensia was a charming experience, marked by a wonderful pool to escape the Cartagena heat and a great location near top attractions. The staff really set this place apart, treating me like family, which added a personal touch to my visit. However, breakfast could use improvement in terms of speed and quality, and there were some minor hiccups with WiFi during my stay.

My stay at Casa Boutique Hortensia had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of downtown Cartagena, but the service left much to be desired. I enjoyed the communal breakfast setting and the beautiful courtyard, yet the staff's lack of English made communication challenging. Overall, it was a mixed experience. 😕

I had a mixed experience at Casa Boutique Hortensia. On the positive side, the location couldn't be better, right in the heart of downtown Cartagena. The swimming pool was good and there were no issues finding chairs. However, I encountered significant service issues and average dining experiences that left me disappointed.

The standard double room was a bit misleading, as I was initially given a twin room, which the manager insisted were the same. The space was clean and spacious, but it felt frustrating to have to navigate this mix-up.
Service
5.0
The manager, the only English-speaking staff, was not particularly friendly or helpful during my stay. Communication was often a challenge, and there seemed to be a lack of effort in addressing issues, such as the internet and television not working.
Location

The hotel is perfectly situated within the colonial zone, close to the Sofitel Santa Clara and just minutes from the city wall. This made exploring Cartagena incredibly convenient.

Breakfast was very average and took a long time to be served, often making us skip it altogether. I had better breakfast experiences in cheaper hostels.

While the pool was nice, other facilities fell short when the internet and television were down for days. It felt like there was little urgency to resolve these issues.

I recently spent several days at Casa Boutique Hortensia and found it truly charming. The intimate villa has a lovely pool that was a must-have in Cartagena's heat. While the breakfast was just average, the staff stood out, making me feel at home. However, there were some hiccups with service and facilities that could have been better.
