Architectural gem of an oasis.

A beautifully restored old school or religious house which is very central. Spacious and calm. Sound of courtyard fountain and ornamental pool featuring a passerelle leading to one of the dining rooms. Only irritation was the rickety dispensing water machine. Much of the water splashed onto the old tiled floor. No tea and coffee facility (a kettle) in the main lobby. The kitchen was not always open for beverages. For example, one evening repainting was going on. All other hotels on our seven weeks' of travel had hot water dispensers together with tea/coffee available without having to fetch the staff.

Too many wonderful things to say about Hotel Quadrifolio. My wife and I spent our honeymoon in Cartagena and this hotel was the perfect one for us. All of the reviews are true - the staff goes above and beyond to accommodate your requests and to make your stay the best one you could possibly have. They helped us arrange tours, brought us little gifts to celebrate our special occasion, and made every breakfast, cocktail, and meal exceptional. We communicated on WhatsApp, even to order room service, and every request was answered promptly and thoroughly. We wouldn’t stay anywhere else when we return to Cartagena. Thank you to all the staff for your incredible service, and shouts to Señora Carmen, Luis, Alice, John, Fernando, Eduardo and Darío for being exceptional.

Fantastic

First the unique but gorgeous property led with service and hospitality. Fernando Fernando Fernando give that man a raise. The staff here the breakfast and the overall amazing service unheard of run don’t walk and go!!!

In looking at the reviews prior to booking, I thought there’s no way a hotel could be a 10. Well I was wrong, Hotel Quadrifolio exceeded our expectations. The property was beautiful, we loved that it was a smaller place. The staff was exceptional - Alice, Dario, John, Luis, Fernando and our housekeeper made our stay unforgettable. They provide recommendations to ensure we made every moment a great adventure. The breakfast was phenomenal. And an added surprise some of the staff came to our room to sing happy birthday to my husband. If you are thinking about this hotel, stop and book. You will thoroughly enjoy the stay. We have already told many friends this is the place to be, safe and central to everything. Cannot wait to return!

The hotel was charming and the service was excellent. Their dedicated staff looked after all of our needs.

The hotel is well maintained and has a lot of character. The staff was wonderful and alway attentive to all our needs.

Serene Refuge in Cartagena's Walled City

Hotel Quadrifolio provided lovely, comfortable accommodations coupled with generous, hospitable staff. Location is perfect for exploring the historic center and surrounding areas. Highly recommended!

Enjoyed our stay. You feel safe and can rest in a nice and cool room after a hot sightseeing day in Cartagena. The location is perfect and is inside the wall city. Highly recommend.

This hotel has two big Assets: Location and staff. The Location is excellence as it is in the exact Heart of the City and most of the Monuments are within walking distance. The staff is trully amazing! Everyone is very kind and helpful and obliging. They trully made our stay wonderful!!

Absolutely lovely!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Quadrifolio. Very quiet and beautiful - perfect for us spending a few nights in Cartagena. Shout out to Fernando, an absolute legend there. The whole staff is 10/10. We will be back!

Beautiful hotel with amazing decor and feel.

What an amazing place. Conveniently located in the old walled city next to restaurants and plenty of bars and stores to shop, including some of the best coffee I had. The pool was small but felt so romantic surrounded by palm and nestled in the walls of the building, the top roof jacuzzi was also amazing and the service provided was top notch. John and team made an amazing breakfast, and the housekeeping staff was so fast and efficient.

This hotel is everything you desire when you’re coming to Columbia and have don’t know what to expect. It gives a beautiful old world luxe mixed with modern accommodations. It’s visually stunning at every turn, and it feels like you’re walking into someone’s home not a hotel (you can only get in through a Doorbell) staff is super friendly and knowledgeable (s/o to Luis !!) accommodating, and always there around the clock. It’s a hidden oasis compared to the outside, so don’t judge. And as a solo traveler, I always felt safe and looked after five stars deserved.

Very friendly staff, clean and conservative.

Beautiful Boutique Hotel, Staff was amazing. I would definitely go back...

Highly recommend, well located, great service!

Service and food were incredible! Our room was beautiful and the hotel was very detail-oriented. They had little snacks for us each evening and the stay overall felt luxurious. The only strange thing was that our bathroom had an open vent in the ceiling that connected to the 2nd floor so there was constantly dust/debris from upstairs falling on parts of the bathroom countertop. Other than that strange part, everything was awesome!

Wonderful bed and breakfast! Amazing service, meals, and very clean. We will be back!

Excellent! Everything from the rooms, service and ground—loved it all

Fabulous

From the moment we were greeted at the entry door the staff could not have been more attentive and kind. The room and common areas were gorgeous and clean. Breakfast every morning far exceeded expectations.

Excellent property. Amazing staff. They welcomed us saying welcome to your home in Cartagena and I must say it felt like that. Lovely place and lovely people!

Great hotel! The staff are incredibly nice and accommodating. Glasses of water show up out nowhere and are in your hand. Thanks Luis!

The rooms and common spaces were immaculate and charming. Staff was warm, welcoming and helpful. Daily breakfasts at the hotel were a highlight, as well as a glass of wine or mojito in the evenings. Highly, highly recommend this hotel.

Beautiful and quiet hotel. The staff were all amazing and fun, and helped with everything from navigating the city to learning salsa! Would definitely return to this special property!

The hotel and staff were the best. Everything was perfect and so relaxing. When I go back to Cartagena, I will definitely stay here! Thank you for an amazing stay

Absolutely the best service and staff I’ve ever experienced at a hotel period. Very attentive and helpful in anything we needed.

Absolutely a beautiful hotel!! A must stay! Amazing food and service. Very clean and staff was always available with any accommodation you would need. They were amazing, so kind and professional. Our first time in Columbia and cannot wait to return and we will stay again at this beautiful hotel!!!

Tranquil and intimate ambience with exquisite decor. Meticulous, friendly and enthusiastic service. Ideal location within easy walking distance from all the attractions of the Walled City plus neighboring Getsemani. Delicious, abundant breakfast. Overall superb. I would go back to Cartagena just to stay at this hotel.

Will definitely stay again in this property

Friendly and helpful staff

The team at Hotel Quadrifolio is superb. We were treated with reverence, felt like we family members. The historic fabric of Cartagena is evident in the decor. The meals snd beverages divine and a great value. Every employee greets every guest and added to our enjoyable stay.

5 Star

This is an excellent hotel at a great location. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone planning on visiting Cartagena

Perfect Cartagena

This is a beautiful hotel with the most pleasant staff. Everything from breakfast to the room is perfect!

Absolutely one of the best stay options for you when in Cartagena, Colombia. This magnificent boutique hotel has a beautiful charm and carácter, it’s clean, beautifully decorated, great breakfast, accessible to major attractions and restaurants and the most attentive and friendly staff in the whole city. We celebrated our 26 anniversary in this beautiful city and it was like celebrating with family. Thanks to all of you for all your ❤️

I really recommend this hotel. Excellent customer service and beautiful stay! 😍

Cartagena gem

This Hotel is beautiful! When you get there you feel welcome right away. The breakfast is outstanding and service excellent. I just can said great things about this Hotel. All the staff are so friendly and courteous. I will love to stay there again!

I loved that it was a small hotel but spread out. The room was absolutely huge! The staff was delightful and the breakfast each morning set me up for the day! The location was great and I walked everywhere.

The staff is very polite, professional, friendly and helpful. The whole hotel is quiet & peaceful. Food was very good. Located on a quiet street in historic Cartagena but within walking distance of everything. Definitely would stay here again

If only every hotel experience could be like this. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, making you feel like you’re at home.

Pleasant stay in a short business trip

It was wonderful. The details, the service, the comfort. The hotel is small and boutique so it is like feeling at home with friends or family. All the staff is very kind and courteous. They are very concerned with your needs and try to make your stay as better as possible. Breakfast was nice and well served, beds had good bed linen, some toiletries are provided at bathroom, you can use a couple of libraries at the hotel if you need to work. The place is quiet, and pleasant to stay at. I would definitely comeback!

This is an exceptional place to stay. My husband and I have stayed in a lot of places around the world and this is a standout. The service is personalised, welcoming and friendly. Cartagena is an amazing place to visit and this boutique hotel is a sanctuary within the beautiful walled city. Everything from breakfast to the amazing drinks they serve to the dinner and beyond this place has been the highlight of our 4 week South American trip.

Great location and breakfast

Chose this hotel due to the location primarily. Great places to eat all within 5 minutes. You are close to all the activity while it was still quiet at night. Very big rooms, friendly staff, and great breakfast included.

The staff, the manager and the house in which the hotel is located ... they are all great. Far better than the competition, be it boutique hotels or large traditional hotels like Hilton of Inter Continental

This hotel was one of the best experiences ever! What a lovely building. The staff is fantastic, such wonderful people who treat you as part of their family. Breakfast was a big plus too. Don’t miss this gem.

Hidden Gem!! Amazing small hotel!

Perfect hidden gem in the walled city.

A great place to stay

We had a most enjoyable stay . The gracious hospitality and the excellent service provided by the staff really made the stay something special. My companion loved the massage service and the room service provided. I highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for a quiet, relaxing and luxurious place to stay.

Amazing service from the tea service when we checked in to the inconspicuous but constant service to our room to make the beds, refresh towels etc.... Right in the old city so everything is within walking distance

The staff were gracious and welcoming. The concierge had good recommendations for meals and activities. The breakfast menu could be more varied from day to day. I would stay here again and recommend to friends.

Wonderful character and history, perfectly located within the walled city.

Amazing property! Luxurious and very clean. Great location within the walled city as well! Amazing personalized service!!

above expectations

just amazing comfort and luxury. staff eas so sweet and it was amazing to come off the hot streets and get a cool towel each day. breakfast is delicious and its nice to stay in a place where they really care for you.

above expectations

amaaazing. almost hate to say how good this hidden gem is. staff is so warm and helpful. breakfast was best in Cartagena. rooms spacious. pool is cool for after a long day of touring. food is fabulous. perfect for those looking for a very small hotel where you can get to know the other guests.

A Cartagena gem

The service and atmosphere are impeccable. The rooms beautiful, the staff amazingly accommodating. The only snag was that we didn't have hot water in the shower for the first day and a half. Room #8 faces the street, so can be a little noisy at night. The rooms facing the inner courtyard are wonderfully quiet. A great stay, overall.

Perfect location for walking around the old walled city. Staff was very welcoming and friendly. They always had excellent recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed. We always felt right at home. A/C was very strong and almost made it too cold until we realized it was on a timed schedule that we just had to adjust it. The experience was new to us compared to traditional hotels, but I would not hesitate to come again. Initially, we didn’t realize where the hotel was as it is just a door with a sign and you have to ring the bell. Highly recommended!

Un sueño! A dream! Un rêve!

PERFECT, staff, location, decoration, room, bathroom, breakfast, quiet atmosphere...

Beauty, bliss and attentive service

This is an absolutely beautiful inn, where every attention is paid to guests' comfort, and where antiques grace room and public areas. There is a blissful sense of privacy about this inn which is difficult to come by. We loved our stay here!!

Very nice boutique hotel

Our experience was very nice. We only stayed 2 nights but were taken care of extremely well by the hotel staff. They arranged pickup from the airport, advised on restaurants & things to do & the property itself was spot on what we hoped for. With that said, we did pay quite a bit & expected to be taken care of as appropriate & Hotel Quadrifolio did that.

Great hotel

The staff were great. The hotel is beautiful, The location is very good. I was sad to leave and would stay here again!

Wonderful hotel with the best staff

We were in Cartagena to celebrate our daughter's wedding. We booked the Quadrifolio to stay one week without expectations aside for the reviews we got from known websites. It was the most pleasant surprise to find such nice hotel as well as one of the most helpful and friendly staff we have met in many hotels abroad. Although the wedding ceremony took place in a different location, the Quadrifolio offered us the atmosphere to be quiet and relaxed specially prior to the event. We were very impressed with all the help and support we got from everybody at the hotel. Breakfast served is very good and tasty. You can't miss the delicious Arepa'e Huevo. As to the facility, every detail makes the stay a unique experience specially the decoration and fresh set up. With a family oriented environment, I would not hesitate to recommend the Quadrifolio to anyone who wants to stay in the Cartagena's Old Town.

You want to stay here!

This might just be the best hotel in which I have ever stayed (and I've been to all 7 continents, all 50 US states, etc.). The service is beyond the rating scale here. Special thanks to Isaac, Miguel, and David. Location is great - very safe day or night. Property is quiet and private. The housekeeping staff comes a couple of times a day and are so quick and quiet you don't even realize. Each day we would have breakfast (which is also amazing - fruit, cheese, breads, much more - I strongly recommend the arepa) and while there they would clean the room. Has a nice small pool and rooftop hot tub and lounge area. There are also several other areas (inside and out) in which to hang out and relax. They staff will come check on you periodically, bring you beverages, etc. This property was an accidental find with good reviews. I hope others try the place and enjoy the Quadrifolio as much as we did. To be fair we had one slight challenge on arrival - the room we initially booked (Jr Suite) is advertised as garden view. It's not. It is at street level and has a window facing the street (where you can watch locals stand around waiting for folks from the building across the street). We noted this was unacceptable and they offered us a slightly smaller room that was much better. I have no doubt it was safe, just wanted to be able to open the shutters for natural light. Avoid room 8 and you'll never want to leave.

Excellent true boutique hotel

This is a true boutique hotel. Rooftop jacuzzi at sunset with cocktail service is a delight. Spacious rooms very corteous and professional staff, everything is thought to detail.

Quadrifolio was great

We stayed here for seven days and I enjoyed every minute of it. The rooms was large enough for 3 people and housekeeping cleaned it twice a day. The shower was amazing! It felt like a nice rain shower. The bathroom light was well lit so I was able to do my hair and makeup with no problem. Breakfast was free and the food was excellent. The fruits were sweets and tasted very fresh and the pastries was great. There were four options for the main course and I recommend the omelette. The highlight of this hotel, however, was the staff. Issac served breakfast, and his cheery disposition brightened the morning. He was great at remembering the foods I liked and was always happy to bring more water, tea or whatever I needed. The front desk was also very helpful. The location of the hotel was great and I would highly recommend it.

An oasis in the walled city

We LOVED our stay at Quadrifolio. The hotel is beautiful, relaxing and exquisitely detailed. The entire staff was so lovely, we truly enjoyed interacting with everyone. They were also amazing with kids, especially Isaac. We ended up staying 6 nights, using it as our base for trips to Sierra Nevada and Isla Baru. We stayed in 3 different rooms – all amazing! Coming back was truly like coming “home”. We all looked forward to the friendly faces, the heavenly beds, amazing open shower and breakfast arepas. The small but charming pool made all the difference for the kids, great to chill and relax in after a long trip or a day walking in the city. We’d go back in a heartbeat!

Perfect boutique hotel in centre of Cartagena

We stayed here at the end of our trip to Colombia with our two kids - ages 12 & 14. This historic building has been turned into a beautiful boutique hotel which ticks all the boxes - design, comfort, service (which really was excellent), location, food. I wish we had had longer to just lounge around in the hotel and would highly recommend this place to everyone!

Excellent!

Very happy with our choice to stay here, to experience Cartagena! Great location, very safe, beautifully decorated, very courteous staff, and made our stay so special! I would go back there if we come back to Cartagena again!

Great location, incredible staff

we just spent 5 days at Quadrifolio, and it was a great experience. The hotel is an old open courtyard manor that was converted into 7 or 8 rooms. The rooms are nice with comfortable beds, a nice shower, and bathroom amenities. The bathroom isn't air conditioned, but wasn't a huge problem for our group. The hotel staff cleans the room at every turn, and the entire group is so attentive. We made friends with the 7 or so forward facing staff, and they made the experience that much better. We traveled with three girls in our late 20s, and felt very safe knowing that the staff knew when we came and went. They were also great with trying to help us with the language barrier as our Spanish was subpar. Overall, a great experience, and will definitely recommend to all friends coming to Cartagena.

Absolutely Wonderful Hotel!

Great staff. Outstanding service. Breakfast was more and of higher quality than expected. Like the "private" public areas of the hotel.

Wonderful hotel

I loved the Hotel Quadrifolio. The hotel is beautiful. Very nice and spacious open-air courtyard when you enter. You feel perfectly safe, as you need to ring the bell for entrance. The rooms are spacious and airy. The beds are extremely comfortable, and the rooms are spotless. Because there are only eight rooms, they clean them twice a day and perform a turn-down service at night. The roof-top Jacuzzi is a nice place to relax after a day of exploring Cartagena. The staff was always helpful, from booking day trips to making dinner reservations. They have their own private boat to tour the Rosario Islands if you don't feel like taking one of the big tours. It's expensive but if you get a number of people, well worth it. The breakfast is incredible. Fresh juices and fruit, coffee, fresh-made breads, meat and cheese plates, pancakes, eggs any which way, and bacon. More than enough to get you started. Oh, and Hermes toiletries in the bath. All in all, I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Beautiful experience

It was a beautiful experience, the Hotel is very charming and the people that work on it are outstanding, every body was super helpful and always with a smile on their face. We came home feeling very happy and sad that our stay has finish. The hotel was very clean, and the breakfast in the morning were delicious, the location was what we wanted inside the walls, so it was a Great vacation. I will go back to Quadrifolio, and Congratulations to the staff for having such a great customer service.

Great location for restaurants

Excellent staff, very attentive. Breakfast also very good. Good location Highly recommend this hotel
