Santa Cruz de Mompox (also known as Mompox or Mompós) is a city and a UNESCO World Heritage site in Bolívar, Colombia. It has beautiful colonial architecture which rivals Villa de Leyva’s.
Restored expanded colonial house in the heart of Mompox's historical center; opened in April 2011. Rooms with air conditioner & ceiling fan, TV with international channels, WiFi. Amenities include gardens, restaurant, swimming pool, terrace with 360-degree city views, jacuzzi and lounge.
Hostal opened in 2008. Has an excellent movie selection, beautiful front rooms and a communal kitchen. The owners are an Anglo-Colombian couple very knowledgeable in things to do in the region, other hostels throughout Colombia and transport links.
The cheapest, least atmospheric place in town. Prices for a double are COP$25,000 COP with fan and COP$35,000 with air-conditioning. It’s a building of modern construction. Friendly service.
A double room with air-conditioning here will set you back COP$95,000. The rooms don't seem any better than other rooms in hotels set in colonial houses. Its amenities include one of the only two hotel swimming pools in Mompos. If you want to stay at a colonial hotel, and save a bit of money, it may be best to stay at a cheaper hotel, and pay the COP$8,000 daily swimming pool entry fee.
Mompox is connected to the Ruta del Sol highway by the Reconciliación Bridge. Some of the travel information below is now of date, and travel times are much shorter.
