Hostal Españolete

Buena ubicación, habitación limpia y cómoda, excelente atención.

It is a small property with comfortable beds. Location is also good, close to the beach. Only issue might be that the beds are close and without partition and you may get disturbed by each other. Fortunately the day I was in hostel there was only 1 person. Attached bathroom was clean and the host Emanuel was very helpful with everything.

no partition between the beds

Good location and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Room wasn't very private.

The location is great right in the centre next to the Museum and within walking distance to the malecon. It's a bit sketchy at night. Owners are mostly friendly and the hostel was super quiet when I was there (I guess I was the only guest). They let me work in the lobby for a few hours before I checked in. Wifi was good and the room was clean. Good value for money.

There's a curfew at 10pm, so if you wanna come later you need to call the owners which is not super convenient and you won't be able to come in and out as you please because they always lock up the front door. My room had just a tiny window, so there was no natural light. Unfortunately the night I was there, there was a power outage in town, so neither the AC nor the fan worked during the night, so my room felt like a sauna and it was impossible to sleep. They should think of having a back up generator for these situations.

Very friendly hosts and the place was very clean, comfortable. I was looking for a place to sleep before the long Ciudad perdidad hike , ended up staying both the night before and after my hike at Santa Marta. Beds ere clean, rooms were comfy and slept very well. Hosts were very friendly and attentive. The facility is quiet and safe. It is not a party hostel like others nearby in Santa Marta.

Everything. It’s managed by a family and they make you feel like their own family, very friendly and very helpful. They kept our bags for free until we go to Tayrona National Park and come back next day. Easy access to restaurants and beach. Helped us with getting around the city. I highly recommend them.
