Overall Ratings & Reviews Casa Mary

Rooms had mold.

The location is good, close to the walled city, easy to navigate from but it’s extremely close to Havana Cafe and on a noisy street. While it’s proximity to Havana Cafe is good for navigation, the music can be heard until 3am. Plus the cars and people on the street make for a noisy room. I was on the front, possibly quieter in a different room but earplugs are a necessity. Breakfast was very good, service was very good however little English is spoken. The night person who checked me in spoke English but no one else I encountered did. Not a failing at all, just for your information. Everyone was very pleasant, very kind and courteous, and this is a safe guesthouse, they lock the front door with someone at the desk to let you in.

This hotel has a perfect location. Near to " Ciudad Amurallada" and many restaurants and night clubs. The place is save.

I would like to thank the staff of Casa Mary for being so accommodating and understanding of my fear of cats. I'm used to cats being in people's homes not hotels. I should have done my research more. Otherwise everything else was great. Breakfast (as everyone has noted) was great. Beds were comfortable. Above all else, location location location. Hopefully the construction next door does not go on for very long for the folks that want to sleep in after partying across the street at Cafe Havana. I hope your new neighbors will be as kind to you as you were to me.

We had our reservation at Casa Mary but when we arrived they informed us the bathroom of our room had just broke so they relocated us on a near by sister hotel. They were supper kind and apologize for the inconvenience. The hotel that they put us in is called Torre Reloj, and tho it wasn't as nice looking the location was unbeatable, it's right in the main plaza. Overall, a good place to stay (if you're not looking for fancy)

I must preface that my perception of Cartagena is clouded by the wretched humidity. With that said, the hotel isn't bad. Three of us stayed in the room and the room was pretty bare-bones looking, but had all the amenities we needed. Even though the positioning of the beds were somewhat odd, they were comfortable enough to get good rest. The room came with a TV, a fridge, a small closet, and a safe (I don't recommend you using the safe, money disappeared from it while we stayed here. Just lock valuables in your bag or suitcase). The room had tile flooring which added to its aesthetic bareness. The bathroom was a good size with a big shower. However, there is no hot water in the hotel, but with 90 deg. temps and 80% humidity, you aren’t going to want hot water to shower with. The hotel has a patio on the rooftop that overlooked part of the city. The breakfast was simple (four options to choose from), but delicious and we enjoyed eating there each day. It's located near the walled city, and half a block of Cafe Havana. It also next door to a delicious pizza place I highly suggest. It's also located near a church plaza where everyone gathers and night and is littered with restaurant and food vendors.

Comfortable room but they're not all the same size. Personnel was generally unhelpful in matters pertaining to tourist interests. Didn't have effective problem solving skills. Not very knowledgeable.

Great place to stay in the funky Getsemani neighborhood without breaking the bank but still within easy walking distance of the old town. Different options for the included breakfast is nice to have, but go elsewhere for coffee (great place 2 doors up). Air conditioning in rooms is a welcome reprieve from the humidity and heat.

Hotel was in a good location neighboring the walled city. Very basic accomodations, with no frills. Security seemed good. Staff very pleasant.

It is well located if you want to be inmersed in a typical colombian neigborhood. The staff is really nice specially the lady that prepares the wonderful continental breakfasts offered by the house. The rooms are small but comfy. Very satisfied.

Hotel staff are not reasonable people, be careful when staying here!

Some things about hotel experience were great, (see review) but others were not so much.

A really nice and good located hotel for the money. You get the pure Colombian city atmosphere here and a little but delicious breakfast to start an other hot day in a City full of caribbean life and music

Good hotel with perfect location Good breakfast

Great prices, great hotel.

ok the staff was superb but the rooms too small. The rooms need phones installed

Cute place, with a good price for Cartagena. Close to the walled city. A perfect location if you're going out to Cafe Havana salsa bar. Very clean. The room was small but I was travelling alone so it was alright for me. The safe in the room didn't seem to lock. I was glad the A/C worked well.

In great area, near some great bars and restaurants. Hotel is basic but it had everything we needed. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Friendly employees, clean rooms, TV with some English channels

Muy buen servicio, el personal muy amable, las instalaciones cómodas una bonita terraza y muy bien y bocado. Recomendado 100%
