Casa del Virrey Eslava is located a few steps from the García Márquez mansion, the Santa Clara Hotel and the best restaurants of old Cartagena. It is the most luxurious multi-family complex of its kind.

The condominium has two training pools, four Jacuzzis, gym, spa, sauna, massage rooms for the comfort of our guests and 24-hour security.

An Oasis in the Heart of The Old City
A quiet sanctuary just steps from the city walls. Close to all the sights and charms of Cartagena, but it becomes a haven after you come through the main door. Secure building with friendly staff. Spacious rooms, and it was great to have a swimming pool for a morning or evening swim. I would definitely stay here again. It met all our expectations.

Excellent. Location; Beautiful Outdoor Space
While the inside of the apartment is worn and could use some updating, the apartment is comfortable, well outfitted, and excellently located. The apartment has both a washer and dryer, which is very convenient. The apartment is in a complex that is well maintained and has a beautiful outdoor space that is lush and has a lovely pool. Recommended.

The place and location is wonderful! However, it was advertised for 4 people so we had the reservation for 4 adults and since arrival we had problems with reception about being 3 or 4? Finally we were admitted and when we entered the unit we realized it is definitely NOT for 4. It was late so my daughters had to stay one night but we had to rent another hotel room at a different place so they could actually rest.

Fabulous stay
Even better than expected. Yes, the place isn't brand new, but the fabulous location and beautiful pool made up for it. Gorgeous building in the old town within walking distance of everything in the old town (and several tiny beaches (mostly locals) with shade umbrellas you can rent) yet quiet and peaceful (even music on Friday night stopped at a reasonable hour). Beach towels, towels, and plenty of bedding options provided. Strange to have knives but no cutting board, but no biggie. Great to have cold water in the fridge (we boiled tap water) to fill our water bottles. Only negatives: no shampoo or conditioner, and we had to ask multiple times and wait hours for a second roll of toilet paper. Seriously, this is not the place to cheap out! Sheets on the master bed were also too small and kept popping off the corners, and there were some tiny ants in the kitchen, but it was still a lovely stay overall, and I wouldn't hesitate to come back and stay again. Thanks!

Building is beautiful but the unit is in need of repair
There were significant issues with the unit from burnt out or non functioning lights to a hot water tap in the bathroom that couldn’t be turned on to kitchen cabinets that were so stuck we thought they were locked. The balconies couldn’t be used because there was no seating. The local agent was friendly but slow to respond. The building itself is lovely, the pool wonderful and the location is great (quiet but easy walk to restaurants, etc.) but the unit needs some serious TLC

Safe Comfortable Location
I very much enjoyed the quietness of the building. The courtyard is well away from the street. No hassles with checking in and out. Condo was in excellent shape. There's a security door manned 24 hours.

Great home base
This was a great spot for two that did not really cook, and spent limited time in the condo. Spacious, clean, and comfortable. Information about check-in/ check-out was a bit limited, could have used a secondary roll of toilet paper, coffee filters, kitchen towels, etc., but otherwise was suitable. Location is great, quiet (minus a few rowdy guests in the complex), and front gate guards are wonderful. Would stay again for our next family visit—thank you!

Beautiful property but security is over-the-top
We were in Cartagena for our wedding and stayed at this property after we checked out of our hotel. The apartment is very nice, clean, and in a great location. However, the security is completely out of hand/over the top compared to the hotels we stayed at and visited. We were not informed in advanced that we would need to send the property manager a list of everyone that would visit us ahead of time including passport photo etc. you can imagine with a wedding (friends and family in town) that this would be a logistical nightmare. ^^ As a result we spent far too much time waiting for security to go through three layers of approval just to authorize visitors. We ended up just telling people to not even stop by because it wasn't worth the hassle and security was completely unorganized. My husband left the room key for me at the front desk one night and they screened me again as if I was a complete stranger (I'm 6 months pregnant by the way and just wanted to go to my room and rest). They even asked me if I was my mom or sister (who were visitors) and fumbled around for 15-20 minutes before getting me the key.

Beautiful place in a great part of Old Town.
The apartment is gorgeous and situated in a quiet part of the Historic Center, yet close to everything. Ideal for a great vacation to Cartagena. The owner is responsible and responsive and arranging the details with him was easy. I highly recommend this place for your trip to Cartagena!

There were pluses and minuses...
We've stayed at HomeAway before - it's a viable alternative to hotels. Our apartment at Virrey Esclava was well located in the historical area of Cartagena; it's a modern apartment in what used to be an old building. Here are the things we disliked (things that can easily be remedied): There was no hair dryer, no coffee maker, no samples such as shampoo, coffee, water, no paper towels, no face/bath cloth, no phone connection between our room and the front desk (security), the ice maker in the refrigerator was fiddly and difficult to use, etc. There were no instructions - who to contact in an emergency, where to eat, what to see, mini markets nearby, etc., etc. All other places provided such basics; if the owners decide not to do so, at least we should be forewarned in order to bring our own supplies. Oh, and there was no maid service - a first; plus, no garbage bags or pickup - another first. One night there was a loud band (wedding) playing until after midnight; another night, nearby neighbors were talking loudly until midnight. Then, because of high winds, our awning came apart and was flapping loudly against our window and side of the building. On the plus side, the A/C worked well, the bed was large and comfortable, the washer and dryer worked well.

Great place in a great location
Very nice upscale place in a very good location in old town. close to everything yet quiete. Pool, terrace and gym were all nice bonuses. At first I was worried about the unusual payment method by bank transfer and then paying cash deposit on site but all went without a hitch and got full deposit back at checkout. Highly recommended.

Great Location & Great A/C
We read the reviews from previous guest and they helped us in our selection of this location. The location was great the A/C was great. The owner is very responsive to questions and his on site person was ready to meet us there when we arrived. Someone complained about a broken refig. but they must have replaced it because there was brand new one in the apt. My only suggestion which I told the on site person about would be to possibly buy some plastic ice cube trays for the refig. As there were none in there. This was no big deal as we bought a bag of ice. Just an fyi if you can't get the remote control to turn off the A/C in bedroom just hold the remote closer to the unit. I think the batteries may have been weak. But the A/C is soooooooooo Great. We used the pool and the gym and the roof top deck. The front desk personnel were very friendly and nice. Galindo thank you much for sharing your place with us. Joe
