Leones de Alba Hotel Boutique

It was my first time in Cartagena, and my stay at Leones de Alba exceeded my expectations. This hotel has an excellent location in the walled city. I enjoyed my stay and felt at home. The breakfast was delicious, and the room was spacious, with comfortable beds and a beautiful view. The staff made me feel welcomed and at home. I want to thank Laura, Beyker, Neider, Juan, Mereides, and Andreu for making my stay memorable. We had two birthday celebrations while on our trip, and the staff made us feel special by going above and beyond to make the day special. I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely return!

My first time in Cartagena and at Leones. I would suggest getting the car transfer to the hotel from the airport. There are three hotels - Leones, Casa and Sol de Alba. It can be confusing initially so having a professional driver with A/C who knows exactly where to go is worth the extra expense. I got in around midnight and was greeted warmly by Armand. He was very helpful with helping with my bags etc., asking if I wanted to plan anything for the upcoming days and he would be happy to set them up so I didn’t lose anytime trying to figure things out on my own and speaks perfect English which made my late night brain happy as my Spanish is limited. Armand gave me a tour of the property and even made sure I received the sandwich I requested. I got in late and had short connections so I didn’t have time to eat. I appreciate Leones being able to grant my request. My room was a deluxe double. It was quaint the A/C was robust as was the hot water. It had a shower sink and toilet with all the necessities. There were plenty of snacks and beverages in mini bar. On that level is the restaurant so you order drinks and have them on the terrace. Street noise was not an issue. Breakfast is juice, sausage, arepas, eggs, bread, cafe and fresh fruit. I was always greeted with a warm welcome by Baker. He is upbeat and helped me practice my Spanish. I also had very pleasant exchanges throughout my visit with Guillermo who helped give directions to Uber drivers and helped me navigate during the day and Juhan who helped with my fan and bags when I came in and lastly Carlos Leon who made my birthday reservations and dinner reservations before I arrived. I would return to Leones because Armand and Baker definitely treated me like family. I never felt that any request was too much or too little. They made the difference in making my stay amazing!

I spent 3 nights in this awesome place. I felt safe, welcomed, warm. Almost like home. Excellent antique colonial architecture with a cozy touch of romance. Is a place full of great vibes and energy. The best service I have received so far in the entire world. Just in love with them!

This is a quaint historic property. They have maintained much of the historic qualities. We did find that the staff had very limited English. We had a native spanish speaker so that helped. But be aware there is no Elevator, breakfast is on the 3rd floor and stairs to roof pool are steep. Breakfast was wonderful. My first floor room (entry on courtyard pool) was tight toe walk around king bed and would be difficult to maneuver for older travelers. At least when we were there to say there was a bar on the roof was a bit overstated. If you could grab the guy he would make you a drink and bring it up or to you. We arrive after10pm so did not receive welcome drink or tour those who checked in earlier received but we just wanted to go to bed

We recently stayed at Leones De Alba for a 50th birthday celebration. My friend and I were the wives of the celebrants. Our group of 17 guests had an amazing time, thanks in large part to the exceptional staff at the hotel. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the warm welcome we received. Transportation was arranged from the airport for all guests, and mojitos were at the door. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. They were always available to answer our questions and recommended amazing things to do in the area, like a day trip to Palenque, a food tour, Getsemani and Bora Bora Beach Club (to mention a few). Juan, in particular, was a huge help in organizing our excursions and transportation to the excursions. He knew the area and ensured we had everything we needed for a fun and safe outing. The Chef at Leones De Alba also deserves a special shoutout for the delicious meals he prepared for us every day. We looked forward to each meal and were never disappointed. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Overall, we had a fantastic experience at Leones De Alba and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cartagena. The staff truly made our trip unforgettable, and we can't thank them enough for their exceptional service. We will definitely be back!
