Overall Ratings & Reviews Casa Cordoba Roman

It seems that the property is only geared for Spanish speaking guests. It’s almost impossible to communicate in English. The property is charming and well presented, and is very close to everything. But it is noisy. You will hear every sound from other guests in the other apartments. There is also no elevator, which makes it hard to drag your luggage on the wooden stairs. The linen and pillows are synthetic materials which are uncomfortable for sleeping. There is also no staff at the reception desk and you communicate only via WhatsApp.

Location was amazing. However, they need to pay more attention to the cleaning. I was very disappointed to see that they didn’t changed the sheets of my bed. They were full of hairs and weren’t only head hairs also body hairs. The site don’t have reception so it was not possible to communicate with somebody to come and change the sheets. Those kind of details are the ones that they should take care more.

Overall the apartment itself is great, with some really nice character. However, The communication was bad: the phone number didn’t work, you couldn’t email them. Check in was lucky that the receptionist was there. Even then a phone number wasn’t given (the reception wasn’t occupied 24/7, and there were things we needed). Security of the property wasn’t the best, anyone could enter the building, the locks on the doors didn’t work and we had to really ask to get them fixed, not great when you’re travelling with kids in central Cartagena. The location was excellent.

Great location in old town of Cartagena

Good location

Thank you for an amazing experience

The only negative I had was the way the front door operated. There must be a better way to access the hotel. Key cards maybe?

The customer service was amazing. The staff was very cordial, responsive and accommodating. The apartment 1 (superior, sleeping 4) had great colonial character and was very spacious. It is also very conveniently located in the middle of everything and it is busy day and night that means it could be an issue if you are sensitive to noise (not an issue for us at all). The small pool on the rooftop is great to refresh and the balcony is nice to watch the busy Calle Roman. The only thing that could be improved is the overall cleanness of the floor.

Super friendly and attentive staff. Perfect location with 5 mins if all tour departures

Great location No parking option- had to pay a guy on the street to watch our car. Clean and close to everything in the walled city Did not like that you had to be let in and out of the building by someone remotely each time

No

We stayed in the one-bedroom apartment facing the street. The location is right in the center of the old town. Having a small kitchen is really nice, and with the 24H minimarket next door, you have easy access to basic groceries (coffee, bread, cheese, eggs, etc). Fruit vendors are out front in the morning. The room has a shared balcony where you can watch the lively chaos and street activity. The property is clean and secure. There isn't anyone on site, but the door buzzer (in and out access) is managed by someone at their other property. Occasionally you might have to wait a few minutes for someone to answer, but most of the time it's an immediate response. The only serious drawback to this property is the noise. The street is really loud with people and dance music until 2am every night, and sometimes people just sit and drink in the street playing loud music when things close. Earplugs are not enough. And, the walls are thin. If apartment neighbors have to get up early, you will too.

The property is in a very nicely restored old building right in the center of Old Town Cartagena. Conveniently located, basically near everything. The staff was extremely helpful and attentive, they were truly second to none. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking to stay in the old town.

Casa Cordoba Roman was great. We got Room 3 which had two levels which was great with the kids. It has a balcony to look out on the streets of Cartegena and all it's action. Which it does have a LOT of action. The great location comes with it sound from the action outside, late into the mornings. That is the nature of Cartagena. They helped us get transport to the airport, and were accommodative with anything we asked for. Plus the pool on the roof was great with the kids and provided a cool perspective of the old buildings around you. Highly Recommended.

Very friendly staff, beautiful and clean room! I stayed alone and it was my first time in Cartagena. I felt very safe and taken care of by the staff. 10/10 recommend to stay here! Very close to many tourist spots and incredible food places!

Not so clean, uncomfortable to sleep upstairs, only 1 bathroom and it sleeps 4 people

Loved our spacious, beautiful stay! We were with our 6 & 8 year old. Though in a busy area, and my being a light sleeper, we had no problem getting quality, quiet sleep. Would stay again!

Horrible service, they disclose last minute information upon arrival like no companion or visitors allowed, toilet was not working, water problems, broken furniture, bad service, I needed up leaving the first night, Expedia was not helpful to resolve the problem either

Great authentic local apartment feel but also with all of the modern in room amenities you may need. It is right in the middle of the city and walking distance from everything I’m the Walled City. Because it is right in the middle of the street you can hear the hussle and bussle of the city from about 8am-12pm but I didn’t mind it. We didn’t spend much time inside the room bc there is soooo much to do. By the time I got back I was tired enough that the noise didn’t matter getting to sleep

The best asset this place has is the staff, specially Kelly. Her customer service is top notch. When we stay at Casa Cordoba they made us feel special. The place has a little pool on the top roof that is super cozy and romantic. Our room was a duplex with a little kitchenette/ living room in the first floor and our bedroom and bathroom was on the second floor (this is an open area design). The location was great. Kelly helped us reserve a day trip to a hotel at Las Islas del Rosario (hotel San Pedro de Majagua) - very relaxing. Definitely recommend this place.
