Excellent location. Charming little hotel with great service. Our room was not the best in it, on the small side and condition could be better, but deficiencies made up with common areas, including the top floor terrace and the swimming pool in the lobby.

Amazona staff, great location.
I went for a wedding and Leonel and Karen went out of their way to help us in every possible way. I needed a hair dresser and make up artist and Leonel made it happen with no hesitation at all. I also needed 4 gigantic balloons to be blown with helium and between Karen and Leonel they made it happen. Lovely small hotel in an excellent location. It's all about the sercive and everyone was so nice and readily available to help. Fernando at the "restaurant" also was friendly and spoiled us with a delicious breakfast.

Hotel falling into disrepair - doors don't lock
when I booked this hotel, I was excited, because the photos and reviews said such positive things. Having now stayed there, I feel that this property is being left to fall into ruin and disuse. The staff was really nice and tried hard to fix the problems, but it was obvious that this was beyond their power. The room we stayed in could not be locked! the battery for the automatic card lock had died, and no one could fix it. So, we spent one night in a room that could only be locked from the inside with the chain lock. There were no more free rooms that night to move us. The second day, we were upgraded to a very nice suite, BUT the room safe could not be locked, and the shower head was broken, and held in place with nails and screws. Plus, the water was cold. The hotel pool had a broken underwater light with loose wires hanging in the water. The jacuzzi upstairs was filled with green coloured smelly water. When we checked out, the front staff could not get the credit card machine to work and we spent 40 minutes waiting for them to get it to work. We almost missed our plane. The staff tried hard to make things work, but it was obvious that they were told to just try their best. I felt sorry for them, but I was very angry. the breakfast food was very good I have to say - super tasty. But, overall I have to say that you should not stay in this hotel - you can get better value at other places.

Nice hotel!
We had a short stay but it was pleasant and very comfortable. There was a problem with the Direct TV in our room, so no channels available but we didn't care becuase we were out most of the time visiting the beautiful walled city. Highly recommended!

Great vibes = great times
The room was lovely and air conditioned. We were only really there for sleeping. Excellent selection of TV channels in Spanish, English, Portuguese and a few other languages for background noise. The staff was wonderful and helpful (food recommendations, walking directions, taxis, etc). I speak Spanish so I can't comment on level of English spoken at the hotel. We were right across the street from the wall and the walk to anywhere we wanted to go was easy and seemed short. We walked to and from Gestamaní one night which looked far on a map but wasn't. Even with the constant flow of "greetings" on the streets from men, we (2 women) felt safe all the time.

Special boutique hotel
La Merced Royale is a lovely, boutique hotel in the heart of Cartagena's historical district. The location could not be better as it was central but around a quiet courtyard with views of the bay. The rooms range in size from fairly cozy (with a king-size bed) to quite large (with a king-size bed and comfortable sofa bed). They are nicely appointed but not luxurious. The court-yard pool is small but fresh and attractive. The roof-top jacuzzi has views of the city wall and the bay. The delicious and varied breakfast is served in an elegant old hall by an attentive and gracious wait staff (who double as porters and pool attendants). Everyone speaks some English. One concern: websites say rooms have two beds, but only a couple do. This mattered to us as we were 6 guys (not couples) in three rooms, so we were less than thrilled to share beds. The hotel worked it out after a day, but when it says two beds per room, the second bed is more suitable for kids.

One week stay
The hotel is located in a good area in the center of the walled city. We had our room upgraded to the fourth floor where the room was alot nicer and had great views of the ocean with a private sun deck (recommend that room). For breakfast the food was made to order from their menu and was very good! The bread was baked fresh, the jam was made in house fresh and even orange juice was freshly squeezed. They have two bikes you can use for free, so if your looking to bike around the city dont rent them from the place next door. All in all would stay again.

Great Hotel with a friendly and helpful staff
La Merced is a great boutique hotel. As good or better then you would normally find in New York or San Francisco. The staff was very attentive, especially Natalia at the front desk. They will arrange transportation, reservations, and whatever you need. Highly recommended if you would like to stay in the old city in Cartagena.
