Very stylish small boutique hotel in a heart of Cartagena. Very safe and private. A breakfast was at Cande-restaurant, which is nice and only a short walking distance from the hotel. A layout of our room was a bit odd, there is no roof in the bathroom so not much privacy. Staff was super nice. All in all a very nice stay.

Everything was lovely, gorgeous room with good a/c, great location. The only 2 surprises were that breakfast is not on site, though nearby in an amazing restaurant (Candé, one of my favorites in Cartagena) and the rooftop pool was very small (jacuzzi size). But still worth 5 stars!

Nice hotel, helpful staff. We were given a packet of coupons for various restaurants in the area. We used as many as we could and got free drinks and appetizers at three different restaurants. Not only did we save money, but we got to experience different establishments, all excellent choices places to dine.

Honestly I am an avid traveler and Privado Designer Boutique Hotel was one of the best hotels I have had the pleasure of staying at. Maria and every single staff member I came across was super nice, respectful and extremely helpful. On arrival at hey provide me with several coupons for near by restaurants and they were absolutely great places to eat at. This was a solo trip and I felt extremely safe and at peace during my whole stay. Thank you so much !

Perfect escape
Located in the heart of the city centre, Privado provided you with an escape from the heat, noise and vibrance of the city, allowing you a moment (or night) to re-energize and prepare for more sights and sounds of Cartagena. I would highly recommend this hotel for its location, charm, amenities, and kind and caring staff.

We were thrilled with the concept; it was precisely what we were looking for, during our time in Cartagena for an event, all we required was a cozy room, and that's exactly what we got. The bed was just right, the spacious bathroom allowed us to move freely, and the staff was friendly and welcoming.
The restaurants in the vicinity were also fantastic.

Privado was so cute and safe to stay inside the walled city. It is a must to stay here, it is walkable to everything. The best thing is that the walls are sound proof so you are able to sleep in and any noise or party going on outside you won’t hear. Staff is so sweet and so helpful with restaurants ect around the area. You are a short 5-7 min walk to the clock tour and downtown area. I will be returning back and staying at privado with my family.

We loved staying here. The room was perfect size. Maria was very kind and helped us with all of our questions! All the staff were very welcoming. The location was not in the chaos of the city which made it peaceful to sleep. The pool was small but perfect for a quick dip from the Cartagena heat! We would definitely return!
