Reservation IGNORED & attempted OVERCHARGING
Horrible experience. Sadly Casa Mara still is offering accomodation over the web that is not availbale when you arrive. (see older feedback of other - rejected - guests) THough having a confirmed booking - Casa Mara had no room available. Furthermore the lady at the reception was very rude and pretended she couldn´t speak english - though she spoke perfectly with others. Spoke very loud with me - though I stayed polite all the time and kept me waiting for 1 1/2 hours. Even worse: When the owner arrived, she "offered" me to stay in different, "private" hostal of a far lower Standard - while I should still pay the high original Casa Mara price. This is a totally inexceptable scandal. Trying to cash in from customers - on OWN mistakes. People with such a mindset don´t belong in the hospitality Business and deserve not to be supported.

Super friendly
I had a lovely stay at Casa Mara, the staff were super friendly and very welcoming. My room was very clean and had hot water, cable tv, aircon and fan, it was cleaned daily. Breakfast choices were freshly prepared and served promptly. The pool is small but great though it could probably do with being cleaned a bit more often. the hotel is in a great location, easy walk to restaurants and tourist sights. I would highly recommend Casa Mara.

Well-situated and reasonably priced
This hotel is in the old part of the city, just a short walk to the city walls. It is convenient for services, and the staff is most attentive.

We liked Casa Mara very much. Clean and cosy. Short walk to the colonial centre. Quiet during the night and large choice of restaurants around. We would go back to Casa Mara.

Bait & Switch
We booked this hotel about 10AM on a Sunday morning from Bogota (admittedly, this was last-minute). Wary of the bait & switch tactics some other reviews had mentioned, we sent an email directly to the hotel to confirm booking. Upon arrival at 8:00PM, they told us that they didn't have our booking or our email and that they could move us to one of their other (lesser) hotels down the road (for the same price, mind you!). Upon our insistence, we saw that the email was indeed there. Thier reply was that they don't check emails on Sundays. Really? Come off it. I would only stay here if you get written confirmation that they have your booking. Otherwise the place looked nice, neighbourhood is very colourful.

casa mala
Not at all what I envisioned. If you want a bed this is it. No place to put suitcases to unpack- not even a chair. bathroom shower missing a water handle- only cold water available. open slats on room door. pool was tiny-smaller than a lap pool. what the hoopla is with this hotel is it is in close proximity to the old colonial district. i checked out after one night.
