Guest Reviews

- Yacelyn (3/5): Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this stay. It has potential as the pool was nice (besides the pigeons). But the customer s - I liked the pool and the man who managed it. He was very nice & very helpful! When we got here, we had to wait till 3PM even though the hotel was very empty. Then when we got in the room, there was no toilet paper and the AC was not working & it honestly was not really like the pictures. Don’t expect a window. When asking for another room it took some time but eventually we got a new one where luckily the AC worked. The pigeons that kept trying to get into the pool. Very unhygienic. The breakfast was not that great, limited. The sound at night was quite loud since it’s besides the park, they do provide earplugs however. The receptionist also wasn’t very helpful.
- yamile (9/5): - La ubicación, la atención de Mario, la cama cómoda
- fernandodelolmo (9/5): - We had an amazing stay at Placita Vieja. It is located in the parque de los Novios, close to all the major tourist attractions in Santa Marta. The breakfast was amazing, the staff was friendly and extremely helpful with any request we had. The pool is small but great as well and the room was amazing. It's not the hotel fault but sleeping well and deeply is extremely difficult given its location and the noise of the main square. Luckily, the hotel staff provides ear buds to help you sleep

- Silvia (7/5): Centrico pero MUY ruidoso - El hotel está muy céntrico y bien situado. Las habitaciones son amplias, comodas y limpias Muy ruidoso!! El volumen de la música en los locales de la plaza era elevadisismo (tanto que en la mesilla de noche ya te dejan tapones para los oidos). Una de las habitaciones no tenia ventana (bueno, tenia pero daba a una pared). Solicitamos un cambio de habitación y tuvimos que pagar un extra. El hotel es correcto, pero creo que no se corresponde con un 5*
- Marie (9/5): Superbe séjour d'une semaine! - Le petit déjeuner était délicieux et complet. Nous avons apprécié notre grand balcon et la piscine. La chambre était magnifique. L'hôtel est très bien situé dans le vieux Santa Marta près de tout et le personnel est très gentil. C'était la semaine sainte et il y avait beaucoup de bruit et de musique jusqu'aux petites heures du matin. Heureusement ils nous ont fourni des bouchons. Notre matelas était trop mou.
- Paloma (10/5): Fenomenal - Todo, una monada y el baño en la piscina muy refrescante. El personal súper amable La habitación era un poco oscura xq daba a un patio pero realmente la usamos xa dormir y nada más
- Juan (9/5): - Hotel con mucho encanto. Habitacion amplia y comoda. Excelente ubicacion. Personal muy amable
- Juan (9/5): - Ubicacion excelente Hotel colonial muy bonito Habitacion amplia y comoda Personal muy amable
- Julio (10/5): Excelente ubicación! - La ubicación es inmejorable, está literalmente en el parque de los novios donde se concentra todo el comercio y vida nocturna del centro histórico pero a su vez está a una distancia prudente para que se pueda dormir tranquilamente. Falta un poco de mantenimiento sobre todo en el área de la terraza y piscina pero nada grave, son solo detalles.
- Tamara (10/5): - Preciosas habitaciones muy bien ubicado y un personal sumamente atento excelente hospedaje muy recomendable Todo me gustó
- WinkyL (7/5): Pleasant stay - Good location and nice room and breakfast tasty Shower was a bit dated and grubby
- Armando (10/5): Excepcional - A qualidade, a tranquilidade e a atenção dos funcionários. O pequeno almoço era delicioso mas podia ter mais opções. Podia ter mais produtos de higiene de oferta.
- Thomas (10/5): - Location, personal
- Luis (10/5): Excelente experiencia - Extraordinario, sobre todo la atención Nada
- Stephen (8/5): -
- Angela (10/5): Lovely stay in lively part of Santa Marta. - It’s a lovely old property with tiled floors and an open inner courtyard. We had the top floor suite which had a large patio overlooking city and with glimpse of the ocean. It made for beautiful sunsets. The bed was comfortable. The large bathroom with open air shower and sauna were amazing. Yes! Hot water but not needed with the temperature outside. The pool was smallish but comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful. Hotel is in a very lively part of town so bring earplugs and eye masks even though hotel is fairly sound proof. Music stays on till wee hours. No coffee maker in room.
- Rainer (10/5): Mitten in der Stadt mit Pool - Tolle Lage, gute Ausstattung, schöner Pool, serviertes Frühstück Das Bett war zwar groß, aber viel zu weich
- Jan (10/5): -
- Katerin (10/5): -
- Nilton (10/5): Lindo lugar bem no miolo cultural da cidade - Localização e beleza do lugar O chuveiro não esquenta . Mas aí não sei se é um problema do hotel ou da cidade mesmo
- Roman (9/5): -
- Dhond (10/5): - Great staff! Nice breakfast, beautiful property, great location in the plaza.
- Florence (10/5): Yearning to get back - in this lifetime or the next - I loved its location, the sauna and its delicious scent, that welcoming drink, but most of all I loved the staff - all six of them that I interacted with and it was my honor to tip them all.🥰
- N1els (9/5): Karakteristiek boutique hotel met super-vriendelijk personeel op de beste plek v Santa Marta - Prima ontbijt; perfecte locatie: gelegen op het mooiste plein vd stad. 3 minuten lopen naar het strand en in het hart vh bruisende centrum. Fantastisch zwembad/chill-plek: ik heb daar heerlijk koel, liggend in het zwembad in mijn boek liggen lezen. Dit is geen minpunt, maar afhankelijk van smaak: sommige kamers hebben een douche die 'midden in' de kamer staat en dus misschien minder geschikt is voor mensen die van privacy houden. Let wel: je bent alleen 'zichtbaar' voor je 'kamergenoot'. Als je heel gevoelig bent voor geluid van buiten en vroeg gaat slapen, kun je misschien last hebben van het bruisende nachtleven op het plein. Wij vonden het juist bijdragen aan de ervaring.
- Valentin (10/5): Una experiencia - Muy chic, limpio, servicio ameno, céntrico.
- Isabelle (10/5): Un superbe hôtel bien situé - L’emplacement la gentillesse du personnel Le cadre l’hôtel est très beau la piscine spa très agréable Le restaurant à côté est délicieux Rien
- Marion (8/5): -
- Francisco (9/5): -
- CHARLOTTE (10/5): - Sehr sauber Es ist direkt an einem Platz, wo schöne Musik gespielt wird, allerdings jede Nacht bis um 3. Es ist also eine tolle Atmosphäre, allerdings sollte man mit Ohrstöpsel schlafen können. Mit Ohrstöpsel ist es dann aber super leise.
- Jackii (10/5): A haven of calm and tranquility - Location Staff Pool Peace and quiet Taxis not able to get to door of hotel
- Jackii (10/5): Great place to stay in Cartagena - Location Staff Facilities No free bottled water in room

- Marino (10/5): Casa hogar - El hotel ofrece detalles que hace una perfecta estancia: -Camas adaptables -Colchones ortopédicos -La decoración de las habitaciones dan sensación de historia y cultura. -Excelente amplitud con techos muy altos. Durante La estancia dentro del hotel se descubre detalles que hacen sonreír. No tener más tiempo disponible para disfrutar mas de esa maravillosa casa.
- Luisa (7/5): Expected better - Very good location. Good breakfast. Our room only had a window very close to a wall so was like an interior room, with no daylight. The mattress was too soft. They have a very aggressive non smoking policy. Even in the terrace (which is outdoors) you cannot smoke. You need to step outside the hotel every time and always ring the door to come back in, not very practical and a bit exaggerated.
- Anahil (8/5): -
- Andres (4/5): - Demasiado ruido. El hotel está en un area donde at musica hasta las 4am. Es imposible dormir
- Maryse (8/5): Petit Hôtel de charme où le temps semble s y être arrêté - L’ emplacement et le style du bâtiment ses couleurs sa piscine et la gentillesse du personnel un Hotel avec du charme mais un peu défraîchii Le petit déjeuner très simple et pas varié ( et encore + basique le dimanche ) Le choix restreint des chambres alors que l hôtel semble vide … chambre « le vieil homme et la mer » avec vue piscine magnifique mais celle du rez sans fenêtre à éviter
- Natalie (10/5): -
- Marta (10/5): Relax en Santa Marta - Hotel muy bien ubicado en el centro de Santa Marta!! Muy limpio. Habitacion amplia y comoda!! Tienen zona de spa con piscina en el 2° piso y es un lujo poder sofocar el calor cuando llegas de pasear!! A pesar de estar en el Parque de los Novios que es ruidoso por las noches, no escuchamos nada y descansamos muy bien. Nada!
- Linda (9/5): Pleasant stay in this boutique hotel - Nice location in the center of Santa Marta, with good airconditioning and a rooftop pool. Nice staff as well, who make you fresh breakfast. Nothing I can think of.
- Fernando (10/5): Tranquilo, descanso - La tranquilidad, el servicio y atención personalizada Nada
- Matteo (10/5): -

- Alisha (4/5): Don't be tricked by the reviews and high rating - Breakfast was very simple and nice but the same each day. Location was great; this is really the only thing the hotel has going for it. I'm sure this hotel was very nice back in the day but it's not been maintained. The bedroom had absolutely no view: the window was boarded up in the bedroom. The bathroom has a window that is open to the roof of the next building (where a cat watched us shower) and there was a small door at the top of the closet where another room must have access to the room. The facilities look worn but the employees try their best to maintain it. You can tell the owner doesn't want to put any money into the hotel which is wild since the cost of the rooms is astronomical for Colombia. The music from the clubs next door go all night into the morning and sounds like it's in the room with you. We ended up leaving our hotel (and losing the money) to go stay in another hotel - we have never done that before! A small complaint: the website states that they have l'occitane shower products but they actually have generic mini bottles.
- Jeanne SULZER (10/5): -
- john (10/5): Definitely recommend - Clean and very friendly staff Nothing
- Pedro (10/5): Sencillamente aconsejable, para repetir - Atención del personal, desde las personas de mantenimiento hasta las chicas de recepción. Ubicación perfecta, instalaciones espectaculares y los desayunos impresionantes, muy recomendable No podemos tener queja de nada
- Eric R. (9/5): - Excellent staff, very responsive and attentive Air con wasn't as straightforward to work out as expected. There were zero WiFi instructions toi sign in or any other instruction, but it did have an A4 page on sustainability ...
- Jack (8/5): -
- Tsfrn (6/5): Good location, friendly staf, but avoid simple rooms because there are no windows. - Location and friendly staff, they helped a lot at many problems we had. The hotel has rooms with NO windows at the simple rooms although the photos, shows windows. I asked for free upgrade but they didn't do it. Instead I had to pay 60 euros more for 3 days for my staying. In addition I had to ask for towels, toiletries all the time. Expensive.

- Karen (9/5): Superb -
- Nestor Eliecer (8/5): - Great place for the price ..
- Jennifer (7/5): Comfortable stay - Very central, friendly at reception, comfortable room, nice breakfast, pool area A little noisy due to location, not many sun beds round the pool, pool area needs some upkeep
- Jean (8/5): Very good -
- Alison (5/5): Passable - The staff organized a facial for me, thank you. The hotel is very loud at night. We managed it for 1 night and checked out early.
- Lenore (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic location next to a square with amazing restaurants and shopping. Bed was super comfy and room was stylish and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent. Will stay here again soon!
- Helio (10/5): Exceptional -
- Abiel (10/5): - Great service and very nice boutique
- Jens (8/5): Lovely hotel overall - Location, staff, pool area Air con blowing directly on bed, breakfast quite simple, there is a lot of noise coming from parque de los novios so ear plugs required.
- Jeff (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alejandro (10/5): - Great!!!
- Helio (10/5): A place where we were warmly welcomed and felt comfortable. - We liked the size of the room, the staff are kind, helpful, and courteous, the pool and sauna are very pleasant, and the room is quiet despite being in the central area of the historic district with many restaurants and bars nearby. The room we stayed in has no view. The breakfast is reasonable.
- Sandra (10/5): Fabulous stay in a lovely boutique hotel with all the comforts I needed after being quite sick. A perfect spot to rechar - Loved the comforts, the location, the staff, the pool and the room. The staff went out of their way to help. When I had trouble re loading my SIM card, the young man (don’t know his name) went out of his way above and beyond to help me solve the problem. The only thing I didn’t like was the noise at night.
- Scott (10/5): - Great staff. Great location!!! Will stay there again.
- Ben (10/5): Perfect location. Amazing staff. - The staff are incredibly kind and very helpful
- Michael (10/5): Best centrally located hotel in Santa Marta - Great service and breakfast A little loud at night
- Gillian (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful hotel and staff were all fantastic. Lovely breakfast facilities pool. Everyone smiling Can be a bit noisy but they warn you and just wear ear plugs
- Marcus (10/5): Marvelous boutique hotel in the heart of Santa Marta. - Super friendly staff and owner. The owner helped us organize a boat trip to a secluded beach and even drove us to the port. Overall, the customer service was simply outstanding: We were brought food and cocktails to the pool, had huge customized breakfasts and a lot of personal attention during our stay. The rooms are tastefully decorated. The rooftop swimming pool (with a Turkish steam bath) can rival those of 5 star hotels. Location: in the heart of the old city.
- Jevgeni (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jean (9/5): Charming and well located - In the center of it all, clean, spacious, lovely swimming pool upstairs, friendly staff Rooms downstairs do not have a view (windows face a wall) which can be a plus as it shelters you from the noise of the partying nearby.
- Angelika (9/5): Cute hotel - a bit worn out - if you want a nice room book a bigger one than the standard options. - Location is great. The stuff was very friendly. Bigger room with balcony was very nice. It is definitely not 5* hotel. I have no idea how it got this rating - it is a normal tiny B&B with the pool on the roof. It is a bit worn out - but very cute and if it would be a little bit more taken care of, it would be an awesome escape in the middle of Santa Marta. I don’t recommend the standard rooms. Some of the rooms had either no window or windows facing the pool like 1:1 - so no privacy. But I know there are awesome rooms also cause we were a bigger group of people and the bigger room was very nice with a nice balkony. The breakfast was nothing special, but it was ok. We had a weird hole in the floor - like ex closet or ex fireplace right next to the whirlpool 😂
- Mike (10/5): - I cant say enough good things! I wasnt expecting this hotel to be as amazing as it was. The pool is very good, the spa is excellent, the rooms are great, but most of all the staff are truely excellent people.
- Patrick (9/5): Lea lovely boutique hotel in a great location - I really enjoyed staying here. The staff are wonderful, the location is perfect. Great WiFi, nice breakfast, beautiful building, comfortable, quiet room. Again, I loved this place and would recommend it; however, they may wish to consider two things: Easy: Have coffee/water available at all times - either charge per cup or add a small amount to the room rate. It is a pain to go searching for a seat in a cafe every time you want a coffee, especially when it’s raining (or provide a kettle in the room). Harder: As soon as economically viable, replace the wash basin water sensor system in the rooms - it delivers only cold water, requiring much flapping of hands… there is a reason hotels around the world use taps - and provide hot water. This is not just about sanitary handwashing and effective shaving, it’s about not starting the day feeling grumpy about an otherwise excellent, lovely hotel.
- Katherine (2/5): Great location- a bit overpriced- incredibly loud due to the building design. Would not stay again. - The location was very good The breakfast was nice The hotel itself is pretty I’m not sure if there was an event space or another room above ours but you could hear everything. From showers to toilets flushing, to people walking and banging around—to moving of furniture. We got zero sleep. It was because there is no insulation between the rooms. We called the front desk to see if they could prevent the noise but with no luck. So do not book the “el cafe” room on the 3rd floor as it was pure misery and the noises went on well into the middle of the night. Would not stay there again
- Jon (9/5): Very lucky find excellent place for a few days stay - Fantastic location spotless clean has a roof top pool to dip in - outside the door your in the Center of everything Inside door very tranquil
- Antonio (10/5): - Excellent for those wanting to experience the historic center
- Sarah (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful Boutique hotel Super location Staff so helpful Beds and room very comfortable Right in main square but not too noisy. Beautiful fish restaurant next door that the staff in hotel kindly organised for lunch from restaurant to be brought to us at the pool. Would also recommend Ouzo restaurant 2 minute walk from hotel. Really nice breakfast and hot shower! Would definitely recommend this hotel
- Tim (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location. Excellent breakfast with fresh fruit and eggs. Air Con worked well. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Kindly stored our bags for 3 days while we did the Lost City Trek. Room was clean and spacious with everything you need.
- Loes (10/5): Luxury at the heart of Santa Marta - Best hotel in Santa Marta! We had the suite with balcony, the best. Most comfortable bed in whole our Colombia trip. Recommended!! To leave!
- Paul (8/5): Very good -
- Jack (10/5): Wonderful boutique stay! - Great location, clean, comfortable, great value for money. Lovely pool overlooking the square in central Santa Marta which was great in the midday sun! Staff were excellent and the breakfast was plentiful! We were able to store bags pre and post stay with no problem due to our transfer timings. Would highly recommend and stay here again without a second thought!
- David (9/5): Superb - Staff are incredibly helpful and welcoming.
- Abiel (10/5): - I loved my hotel room and the staff were amazing. Only thing i would say is some fabric softener for the towels 😊 other then that I was happy and worth the stay.
- Joanne (10/5): Exceptional - Everything! Wonderful welcome - very helpful staff. Room comfortable and clean. Breakfast exceptional - attention to detail with table settings was a very nice touch. Great location - highly recomend a stay here. Nothing.
- Yolanda (10/5): Amazing Team working there - The location of the hotel is great, big rooms and nice swimming pool. However, the best this hotel has is the people working there: they are incredible nice and helpful. They will even make your breakfast every time you have to leave earlier for a hike to Tayrona or other excursions. It is possible to book a massage and I highly recommend to ask for Yasmin, she is absolutely amazing!!! I would like to say a special thank you to the whole team and above all to Eliana for being so friendly and made me feel like family!
