Nice staff. All rooms needs fixing.
Staff was wonderful. Very nice to me. However... There was something wrong with every area of the hotel. I booked a deluxe but was given the smallast room, with a view of the chair by the outdoor jacuzzi. I was smilingly led to a larger room but the room's jacuzzi was broken ("All the jacuzzs in the hotel are broken") and the window was boarded up with wood. My third room that they generously gave me, was nice, but the air conditioner had no frion. And I had to ask three times to fix it. Just as it became comfortable it was time to leave. With more proactive management, and lots of physical fixing, this pretty property could be nice. Staff are very very very sweet.

Beautiful and cozy, great Walled City location.
I loved my Standard double room! It was cozy, colorful, and perfect for my week getaway yo Colombia. The staff were all super nice, helpful, and always smilimg! The hotel itself is super clean and lovely. Its in a great location, not too close to the buzz of center city, but close enough to walk everywhere. The only thing was my new was extremely firm, and I like firm beds, but it was super-super firm. If you have a problem with firm need, you may not like that. Other than that I recommend and I would definitely stay again!!!

Got switched at the last minute
The Ratings above were for the Old Town B&B. The palenque people moved me to another hotel the day that I arrived. Claimed it was due to construction noise. The Old Town B&B was very nice and I will stay there again when I return.....

Great place and staff
Casa Palenque was a great choice, the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. They were always there to assist us, and even helped us book day trips during the days. The place is just like the pictures. The only down side is that there is a construction site right next door, and we were awake every day by 7-8am.

Clean, safe hotel conveniently located.
The hotel is cute, clean and conveniently located. My main issue with it is that there is a huge construction project - half a block long - a couple of doors down. Weekdays and Saturdays construction begins at 7am, and there is no break from the noise. I wouldn't recommend anyone to stay at the hotel until the construction is done. Also, the chairs in front of the tiny pool are right outside the hotel room doors, and anyone who is out there late or early making noise means absolutely no sleep inside the rooms. The doors are too thin. Finally, the breakfast is only ok, and the pool is very small. The hot tub didn't have hot water, just little water jets.

Nice place to stay
Staff was great. Area was quiet and quaint. Hotel room itself wasn't the best, but you get what you pay for. Although the price was low and the location was good, the hotel room wasn't the best. I know you are there to sleep and shower but it doesn't mean that the room should have mold in the bathroom and an inch of muck on the ceiling fan. Oh yea, we were infested with termites too. I expect certain things based on where I am in relation to what country I'm in. I guess my expectations were a little too high. I would still recommend this hotel. Oh yea, be very careful of the water. I got sick. Got some sort of bacteria. I don't know if it was at the hotel or from one of the many restaurants we visited. We did drink bottled water but make sure you brush your teeth with bottled water and when you are in the shower. refrain from rinsing your mouth.

Not so good.
We payed for a superior room and just got a standard room. The room was small, had some areas around corners and inside the closet that were dirty and also the pillows had a strange smell. For two people trying to sleep on a double bed was difficult. Then after I complained they changed us to a superior room that was by far better. Other aspect and it has nothing to do with the hotel is that there is a construction next to the hotel, so after 7:00 AM nobody can sleep due to all the noise. Need to say that breakfast was good, but in my opinion this hotel needs to be updated. The carpets look dirty, the windows don't have a blackout curtains, and because of the doors being very flimsy you do not feel secure in this hotel. I definitely do not recommend it.

Boutique Hotel
We loved our stay at Palanque Casa. The staff was friendly and the rooms were beautiful. It is near the walled city and is walking distance to many of the city's attractions. The pool is beautiful, though it is very small. The internet in the lobby is great, however the internet does not work well in the rooms. If you need to be connected at all times, this might be an issue. Again, this is a beautiful hotel, in a nice location, with a wonderful staff.

Great hotel, great location
We spent six night at Palenque and we had a great time. The hotel has the perfect location. It is very close to the Wall, very close to great walks, bars, restaurants and plazas.....but still away from the noise! The staff at the hotel was helpful and friendly. I would totally stay there again.

The people at the hotel were generally kind and considerate. Upon checkin, we did notice that our hand towel and the floor towel next to the shower were filthy. We requested new towels 3 times, and finally after the third time (almost after a full day being there), we received a new hand towel. On one occasion, I explained to the front desk it was dirty and they said new towels were being dried and it would take half an hour - but they never offered to bring me a new towel or even ask what room we were in or even apology, and this request did not result in the new towel. I would say it is a fine spot but they really need to work on cleanliness and customer responsiveness for such requests.

Beautiful hotel
I'm so glad i chose this place - it was such a beautiful hotel with a lovely atmosphere. It looks just like the photos. The courtyard is gorgeous and full of plants. The pool was really welcome in hot and sticky cartagena. The staff were all really nice and helpful. I think i was upgrades from a single to a double room, which was lovely and spacious. Felt very luxurious for the price and the included breakfast was great - lots of fresh fruit! Felt verr luxurious for the price. Only downside was the building site right next door - i didnt find it that bad though, but it might bother you if you want silence.

This hotel served me well for the money. There was plenty of hot water--had heard that was a concern in other hotels.
