Welcoming, small guesthouse in a superbly-located 18th century house with a shady courtyard garden at its heart.

Friendly Casa de Helda is a converted 18th century house, superbly located in Cartagena’s colonial centre, just a few steps from Santo Toribio church.

Behind a modest colonial façade is an immaculate, large property centred around a shady central courtyard garden filled with flowers.

It has seven simple rooms with wood furnishings and high ceilings, set on two levels. Each is equipped with a fan and private bathroom. Rooms on the upper level are the most popular and also have TV.

The hotel doesn’t have a restaurant but serves a good breakfast on the patio.

What our clients say

  • Initially we were not so impressed with this accommodation but it warmed on us during our stay. The owner is a character & runs it a bit like a Blackpool…

  • A lovely hotel in the old city of Cartegena. The owner was an interesting lady but looked after us very well. Service was excellent.
