This is an interesting review in that upon arrival, we were told there was a problem with our room. The AC was broken so we could NOT stay at the hotel. The staff was very apologetic and offered us a room in their sister hotel Casa Don Luis. They escorted us to the new hotel which was probably nicer than the La Factoria. The staff at Don Luis were great - it's a beautiful property. A couple days later, we went back to La Factoria just to check it out, and it's a really striking hotel.
It all worked out in the end.
Would have liked to stay there since the pool/grotto area is so awesome looking!

Quando nós chegamos para o check-in fomos informados que houve um problema no nosso quarto e com isso nos moveram para o hotel Casa Don Luís da mesma rede e a poucos passos do Casa La Factoría. Nos deram um upgrade de quarto e pudemos usar as facilidades dos 2 hoteis que são ótimos. Atendimento impecável e muita atenção aos hóspedes! A localização também é excelente, bem no meio da cidade amuralhada.
Nada! O hotel é um charme!

Todo el personal sumamente atento y cordial. La ubicacion es genial y el desayuno muy muy rico.
Necesita un ascensor. Nosotros tuvimos la suerte de estar en el primer piso, pero otros del grupo tuvieron que subir bastantes escaleras y pasillos. Diria que lo peor del hotel son los baños. Todos con vidrios, Tanto la ducha como el inodoro, y cuando prendias la luz no habia la mas minima intimidad... Me dijeron que estan trabajando eso, espero que asi sea.

La ubicación excelente
Las escaleras incomunicadas para adultos.
A mi amigo se le perdió la tarjeta del cuarto y le dijeron que se la cobrarían. Donde en todos los hoteles del mundo mínimo te dan 2 tarjetas. Aquí solo 1. Y la limpieza en los cuartos de demora, regresamos a las 3 pm y no estaba limpio

Ubicación excelente, personal muy amable, tuvimos un problema con la ducha de la habitación y lo gestionaron rápidamente. Las zonas comunes de la entrada y recepción son bonitas. Desayuno típico colombiano muy completo.
La habitación era excesivamente pequeña (y eso que cogimos una de las que tenía el baño separado físicamente de la habitación (aunque no había puerta para separarlos con lo cual se escucha absolutamente todo lo que hagas en el baño, restando bastante privacidad para las intimidades de uno).
Además, comentar que la habitación resultaba muy húmeda lo que era incomodo a l hora de dormir (quizás porque estábamos en la planta baja cerca de la piscina). Nula ventilación, había una ventana que daba a la zona común de la piscina que es un patio y por ello no entra nada de luz natural. Además muy mala insonorización, se escuchaba todo ruido proveniente de las zonas comunes del hotel.

Staff amazing Great location breakfast was nice
Owners, their children and dog we’re around but they never engaged guest. If your going to be around the property and your dog is going to jump on us while we are eating at least say hello and ask how our visit is.

Everything was wonderful. The photos do not do it justice. The breakfast was delicious, the staff was attentive (especially Brenda and Jefferson) and the beds were very comfortable. The location was fantastic! The hotel restaurant and cocktails were great! I’m surprised it’s not a 4 star boutique hotel!

Beautiful building, we enjoyed the pool, massages and jacuzzi facilities. Lovely plentiful breakfast provided. Location excellent, beds very comfortable.
The bedrooms are very dark. Would have liked a waste paper basket. Also found the ‘in-room’ toilet and shower is very intimate for sharing guests! We ended up not being able to pay for a massage on checkout due to a lack of paper record, which left us the headache of having to sort the payment out after departure. Staff were attentive but could have been more on the ball.

Beautiful hotel with a nice pool and rooftop area. Great breakfast and good access to the city.
The room was small and quite dark (no natural light at all). And the toilet was with transparent walls, so not a lot of privacy.

This was truly one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed. The pool was incredible and I could’ve spent hours just sitting by it. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Both breakfast and the on-site bar/restaurant were wonderful. Highly highly recommend!

Beautiful hotel with friendly staff and an excellent breakfast.
Everything was wonderful EXCEPT that our AC turned off at night and we were unable to turn it back on. Our room was on the 4th floor and we didn’t have a window to open (just a balcony door with no screen). We rang staff in the middl of the night to help but they had no control over the AC either so we had a sweaty honeymoon. I would not stay here again - whoever owns/manages this hotel should stop pinching pennies with the AC.

The location was great - very central to everything in the City Center and we could walk everywhere. We felt very safe, even at night. The staff was very attentive and the Bell Staff were especially helpful and friendly. The breakfast was "ok" but not great. However it was convenient as most restaurants didn't open for breakfast until 9am in the city. Our room was small but the air conditioning worked well and it was very clean. It was on the 4th floor and there is no elevator so that was a workout every day :) Overall a charming boutique hotel.
The breakfast could have had more selection and the fact that there is no elevator is something to consider but makes sense in this historic location.

great job of adapting a colonial building into Avery aesthetic property . the staff let us visit a sister property at the beach , called ahead to make the arrangements . they loaned us towels and even gave us a welcome drink !
the original room we had was tiny and claustrophobic . we paid extra to upgrade . the breakfast had a stupid system .it looked like a buffet but they served the guests. as a result we got items we didn’t want, making for waste.

this is a beautiful, well located property in old Cartagena. staff was excellent and very helpful. breakfast was excellent, varied and staff also excellent. there is a restaurant and bar, pool on the main floor and jacuzzi/loungers on the rooftop.
Note: shower and toilet are in separate areas (love this); but are grey glass stalls within the room. sink is in the room. we liked this setup but be aware. the king superior room was huge and spotlessly clean.
unfortunately, our first room had a strong mildew smell that was initially covered by air freshener on check in. not uncommon given the high degree of moisture and age of the building; staff was really accommodating and moved us to another room for the remainder of our stay, but walking by a couple of other rooms whose doors were ajar there was mildew as well. if you are really sensitive consider carefully. it’s a beautiful hotel and we loved it otherwise, but would be reluctant to book again for this reason. also note this property does not have an elevator.

Outstanding hotel in a fantastic location. Due to a countrywide transportation strike, we unexpectedly had to leave our last location and drive through the night to arrive at 4:30 am and we were so well taken care of by the staff. The beds were AMAZINGLY comfortable, unanimously voted best ever by everyone in my family. The hotel and the rooms are in a restored factory (hence the name) and it's boutique and unique feel was superb, especially the pool that was somewhere between hot tub temperature and a warm pool. We loved it. The location was great because while it is in the centro historico with easy access to everything yet down a quieter street so it is not too noisy at night. Finally I cannot say enough about the staff, from the restaurant to the front desk, they helped us with everything and made our stay pleasant. Don't hesitate!
