Exceptional service and perfect location!
We had a wonderful stay at El Marques Hotel. The property is clean, comfortable, and perfectly located for exploring Cartagena's Walled City. What truly set this experience apart was the exceptional service; Alejandra and Sharon were so friendly, welcoming, and helpful from the moment we arrived. They truly went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable throughout our stay
Everything was good except for the breakfast. It took 1 hour to get some eggs and toast. The staff didn’t seem to care we had to get to a tour Other than that stay was
Nice. Just they play music every night til 10 pm.and the tv has no Chanels

The rooms were clean and kept up really well. They were also cleaned everyday per request. The hotel is really pretty and rustic. The pool is kept up very nicely and clean. The wine room is nice to have options to buy.
Beautiful colonial hotel. The staff was amazing, caring always for our safety. They went out of there way to make our stay enjoyable. Rooms clean, food breakfast etc delicious. I would stay there next time.
Hotel Marqués Boutique exceeded our expectations! The staff went above and beyond—special thanks to Wilson for his kindness, Dillan for helping with reservations and great restaurant tips, and Bryan for a warm check-in. Breakfast was fresh with plenty of variety, and the team even prepared an early meal before our tour. Cozy, safe, and full of charm—highly recommend!
Beautiful property great location. Breakfast

Delicious and the staff was attentive. The small pool was lovely and nice to unwind after day exploring
One night here and would highly recommend. Great location in the heart of the Walled City. The pics are accurate as the place is beautiful. The staff friendly and helpful, and the food at the attached restaurant solid.
The hotel is architecturally gorgeous - each room has its own unique look and feel - and there are several mini living rooms for friends and families to gather. It’s also surrounded by plenty of dining options and is very, very safe. The best aspect, however, is the staff who were friendly and helpful. I will definitely return to this hotel.

The building was historic and colonial (beautiful) yet the rooms are modern and luxurious. It was situated in the heart of the center, surrounded by shops, bars, and restaurants.
The staff was was very friendly and accommodating, making this a great option for couples or families.
We loved our stay at this hotel!! The place is beautiful and the staff are wonderful. Everyone is top notch, so kind, so friendly so helpful in everything!! We were sad to say goodbye to all of them as they became like family after staying for 9 days!! I definitely would stay here again and definitely recommend it to all .. very convenient location in the walled city. Loved, loved, loved our stay!!
