My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights in late April, ‘26, at the end of our river cruise. We wanted to enjoy Cartegena for a longer visit than the cruise itinerary allowed, It was a good choice, The Casa Canabal is a small boutique hotel in the Getsmani area, a short and pleasant walk from the main gate of the old historic center of Cartegena. There are a number of places to stay within the walled town itself, but we had done that years ago and wanted a different experience this time. The Getsemani area is also historic and certainly colorful, but it is more active at night with both residents and tourists enjoying the vibrant atmosphere. The narrow street that the hotel is on is busy with pedestrians but it is also accessible by taxi’s and ride-shares. In fact, we had no trouble using Uber from and to the hotel, including to the airport. Like many boutique hotels in Cartegena, Casa Cnaabal is in a renovated older building. In this case the renovation is very attractive and has produced a very welcoming and comfortable place to stay. The small lobby area just off the street opens into an open atrium with a waterfall cascading down one wall. A small very cute restaurant is off the atrium and also has an entrance off the street. This is where breakfast was served and it was very pleasant. The restaurant serves dinner as well, but we didn't try it. Two nearby restaurants that we enjoyed were Di Silvio Trattoria and Dona Lola. All rooms are on the 2nd floor (no elevator, but help is available with luggage. With the exception of a few premium rooms that overlook the street, all others have only a window that opens to he hallway. This tends to make them somewhat dark, particularly those that are further down the hall from the atrium. Our room (203) was close enough to get some light from the atrium. The room was very large, attractive, and comfortable. It had a king-sized bed, two night stands with outlets, a small writing desk a small bureau, and an armoire. There was a coffee maker, but coffee packets and bottled water were furnished only on the first day of a stay – very odd. The a.c. was quiet and effective. The large bathroom had attractive coral-stone tile floor-to-ceiling, and a large open shower. The vanity area was a bit small, and needed brighter light over the sink. A small pool is available on the top floor. The area needed more umbrellas and lounge chairs, however. The reception and restaurant staff were very helpful, efficient, and friendly. Karen, at the front desk was particularly nice, and so was the head waiter in the restaurant. Overall, we recommend the Casa Canabal, with a few minor reservations.
