Guest Reviews
- Aitor (5/5): -
- Lili Johana (10/5): Fue una noche acogedora, con una excelente atención del personal, todo muy limpio y la zona de la piscina muy tranquila - La cama muy limpia y suave La zona en su parte exterior, es un poco peligrosa
- Edwing (10/5): - La tranquilidad La cama tan arriba
- mariana (10/5): - Lo mejor del lugar es el servicio Todo Super quizá está ubicado en un lugar un poco inseguro
- Antonio David (1/5): - Yo reservé una habitación ,
Cuando llegue al hospedaje no era la habitación que yo había reservado, el colchón era de uno solo cuerpo , delgado y no se parecía ni al de la imagen , no es justo que suban información falsa
- Justine (6/5): - La localisation - la chambre était grande et propre Énormément de moustiques - une piscine pas entretenue - un petit déjeuner peu garni
- Juan Diego (8/5): - La ubicación Los zancudos
- mejia tamayo (10/5): - Muy central, el desayuno excelente y la atención del personal
- Marquéz De La Hoz (7/5): Bueno - Está súper cerca a todo Está un poco descuidado
- Liliana Andrea (10/5): -
- Erika (8/5): -
- Alejandro (1/5): - La limpieza e instalaciones
- du nouveau monde (1/5): Je déconseille fortement 😡 - Chambre propre Chambre propre et personnel aimable au premier abord, mais expérience très mauvaise.
Impossible de dormir à cause d’une climatisation défectueuse derrière le mur, générant un bruit métallique constant, même avec des bouchons d’oreilles.
L’hôtel connaissait le problème, aucune solution n’a été proposée.
Après plus de deux heures d’attente, aucun geste commercial, même partiel.
De plus, sentiment d’insécurité important la nuit devant l’hôtel, avec des regroupements bruyants de toxicomane qui fumé du crack rendant l’entrée peu rassurante.
Je suis venu pour me reposer : mission totalement ratée.
👉 Établissement à éviter absolument.

- Andrés (10/5): Muy buen hostal - La ubicación y la distribución de la habitación. Todo ok.
- Guest (8/5): Tranquila - El desayuno rico, ubicación estratégica Que para acostarme, había que subir una escala muy parada
- gonzalez silvera (10/5): Viaje placentero - Muy chévere el espacio La verdad no tengo nada que mencionar
- Guest (9/5): Hospedaje con buena ubicación en el centro de la ciudad - La ubicación Las áreas comunes
- William (7/5): -
- Carolina (8/5): -
- PAULA ANDREA (7/5): - La amabilidad del personal No había televisión, era un proyector de Neftlix y la ubicación del equipo no era apropiada, desde mi punto de vista. Se dañó el aire acondicionado y no pudo ser reparado durante la estancia, debimos cambiar de hotel y no han hecho el reintegro del dinero que ya se había pagado
- Angee (10/5): Excelente relación calidad y precio - Relación calidad - precio!! Muy bueno todo
- Gomez (10/5): - Excelente todo, son super amables y súper dispuestos a las necesidades
- ARIZA BASTIDAS (10/5): Maravillosa - Comodo un lugar central muy accesible. Nos gusto mucho el lugar y diafrutamos la estancia. El desayuno era siempre el mismo, podrían considerar variar un poco la carta dentro de las posibilidades
- Men (10/5): Schönes, hohes Zimmer, gut klimatisiert - Alles Nichts
- Guest (10/5): -
- Matthias (10/5): - Für einen kurzen Aufenthalt völlig in Ordnung
- Julio César (8/5): Buena experiencia de alojamiento - La habitación era súper cómoda y espaciosa, inicialmente habíamos reservado una habitación más pequeña, sin embargo, el personal nos asignó una habitación más grande y sin costo adicional.
La ubicación del hotel es buena en el sentido que está cerca al casco histórico comercial, a la bahía de Santa Marta y a las calles gastronómicas. La habitación presentaba un tema de humedad, una porción de la pared estaba deteriorada con desprendimiento de pintura.
Por otra parte, cerca de la ubicación del hotel hay muchas personas en condición de calle, lo cual generaba sensación de inseguridad en la noche, sobre todo los días que estaba abierto el bar del hotel, donde uno de esos habitantes ingresó al área de la piscina.
- Truyol (9/5): - Su estilo y las personas que lo atienden
- Daniel (1/5): Muy ruidoso, no recomendable - Bien ubicado Súper ruidoso, tiene una discoteca súper cerca, necesitábamos descansar y fue imposible, necesitábamos salir temprano y no ofrecieron soluciones para el desayuno. NO ES RECOMENDABLE SI QUIERES DESCANSAR
- jose joaquin (9/5): - La atención La zona había mucha gente en indigencia
- Danielle (5/5): - Prima voor een nachtje Enorm veel lawaai van de aanliggende weg. De hele avond/nacht muziek van andere mensen gehoord.
- Maria (7/5): -
- Federica (5/5): Poco curata - La ragazza della colazione super carina e gentile.
La posizione non era male , purtroppo la sera non mi sono sentita tranquilla a passeggiare lì intorno Ho pagato per la camera con finestra (più soldi rispetto a quella senza) e alla fine la finestra era un blocco di vetro piazzato nel muro in alto che nemmeno si poteva aprire. Lo trovo un po’ una fregatura. La doccia era fredda senza miscelatore e dell’asciuga capelli menzionato nemmeno l’ombra. La struttura era poco curata , peccato
- Giacomo (6/5): -
- Johan (10/5): - Tienen una atención excelente, el lugar es bonito y muy central
- Grace (10/5): - Personal muy muy amable y servicial
- Noémie (6/5): - Accueil très sympa et arrangeant
Petite piscine agréable
Petit dej inclus
Localisation très proche des rues commerçantes (même si la rue en tant que telle n'est pas top top, mais ça ne nous a pas dérangé) Enorme point noir : nous étions dans une chambre avec une fenêtre, mais elles n'ont pas de vitre, seulement des barreaux, et il n'y a pas de moustiquaire. Nous nous sommes faits dévorer par les moustiques toute la nuit.

- LeslieP1 (9/5): - Es un hostal muy lindo, el personal amable, el desayuno es sencillo pero rico, la piscina es muy chévere, la habitación limpia, olía a rico y la cama muy cómoda, buen aire acondicionado. la ubicación podría ser mejor tuvimos mucha precaución y no paso nada pero si es mejor tener cuidado.
- Marcos (8/5): - Muy buena ubicación y relación precio calidad!! Faltó un tv en la habitación
- Lina (8/5): -
- Laura (4/5): Disappointing - very nice stuff, room with AC, and a cute bar and pool area in the backyard Since our room was the first one directly next to the entrance with the “window” to the street (there was no window glass in it) we couldn’t sleep at all! It was so loud and noisy all night long until 6am (music, party, people fighting, vendors etc.)
- Anonymous (10/5): A gem for a quite and chill hotel/hostel in downtown Santa Marta - Excellent facility, very comfortable dorm, friendly and helpful staff, very good free breakfast. The location is very central to the historic downtown area. not sure
- Gabriela (9/5): Superb -
- Jessika (8/5): Very good -
- David (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sofia (10/5): Great value - Great location, super friendly staff and clean, spacious room
- Thomas (7/5): Good -
- Ronan (8/5): Very good -
- Richard (5/5): Passable -
- Richard (5/5): Passable -
- Marcel (9/5): Superb - The capsule system is great! Good value for the money comfortable mattress and good climate i the room. Pool could have been cleaner but the included breakfast was fantastic also if you think of the price!
- Sofia (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent value! The room was clean, spacious and staff was super friendly. The house has a great vibe and it's in a very central location which made it a great stay
- Rebecca (4/5): Nice hotel but not an enjoyable experience for us - The location was good, close to everything we needed and the staff were all lovely and accommodating. They allowed us an hours later check out. Unfortunately we fell unlucky with our room. We stayed when there was huge amounts of rain and in the middle of the night the room started leaking all down the walls and on the floor (soaking my bag). We noticed that we were getting a LOT of bug bites in the room too and I think maybe the dampness was attracting the mosquitoes. Additionally, we stayed on a Friday and Saturday and all you could hear was loud base and music from nearby bars that didn’t stop until 4am. So we had an awful stay overall but I don’t want to completely bash the hotel, we may have just fallen unlucky.
- Sauli (10/5): Exceptional - We stayed here for three nights, and were really happy with our stay. The staff is very pleasant and helpful. Andrés speaks good english, Juan was very helpful as well and used translator when needed :) Andrés went above and beyond to help us fix a safe and reliable transport to our next destination. Thank you for that!
Things we liked:
- Affordable price!
- The room was exactly as in the pictures. Nice layout and furniture, cozy
- Helpful staff
- Breakfast included
- Central location
We liked everything, but here are a few things good to know:
- No hot water and low water pressure (which is normal around here, and not a big deal because of the hot weather)
- Right outside there are a few homeless people, that might seem a bit sketchy. Juan said that they're not harmful, but just keep your eyes open and aware of them.
- Pool is quite small, but enough for a quick dip after a hot day :)
Thank you to all, will recommend it to others!
- Stephanie (8/5): Very good -
- Nikolaos (5/5): Passable - Friendly staff. Value for money. No window. The door of the bathroom wouldn't close totally.
- Theo (8/5): Really nice hotel if you don't go out at night. Good value, nice reception. - Clean pleasant hotel with a small swimmping pool and patio, quiet. The location is unfortunately in a relatively dangerous area during nighttime.
- Doireann (7/5): Good - Staff were very helpful and friendly. Good location and nice breakfast in the morning. AC worked well Not very clean and rooms could be updated. Pool dirty. Strong damp/mould smell in room
- Trujillo (10/5): Exceptional - Great place. Excellent breakfast N/a
