Bien ubicado y con una recepcionista encantadora dispuesta a ayudar en todo lo que pueda. Y eficaz. Cerca hay un parking y para ser un hostel está muy bien gestionado. El hostel tiene sus recursos compartidos abiertos: cocina, nevera, minialberca. El desayuno es muy adecuado. Está bien situado.

Mi tiempo en el hostal fue simplemente genial. El staff fue excepcional, muy atentos y amables, brindando recomendaciones locales que hicieron mi visita aún más especial. Además, la presencia de Forty, una gatica adorable, añadió un toque encantador al ambiente del hostal. El lugar es acogedor, limpio y muy cómodo, con una ubicación perfecta en el centro histórico. La comodidad de la habitación y la impecable limpieza de los baños completaron una experiencia inolvidable. Agradezco sinceramente la hospitalidad y, sin duda, volveré. ¡Una gran experiencia en Santa Marta!
Nada. Todo perfecto 💯

Great hostel, social common area, lockers in dorms, they store your bags for you when you explore the area free of charge, and let me have a shower and gave me a towel when I picked them up for 2 dollars! Very friendly staff, plus breaky is included! Good location near lots of places to eat and the buses to Minca, Tayrona etc
Nothing I didn’t like!

Absolute top service!
Staff were super helpful. Wether information on things to do in or around Santa Marta, laundry, luggage storage or helping with onward travel.
The hostel is very nice and clean. Appears to have been redecorated very recently.
It was serene and quiet during my stay, despite being only minutes on foot to the centre.
Two out of three showers had only drops coming out. Luckily the 3rd shower was always free when I wanted to use it.

Nora Nora Nora! Amazing host, so helpful, kind and knowledgeable about the area. The room we had was a good size with great AC and very clean! The hostel is nicely designed with stylish high ceilings offering mezzanines, comfortable beds and good breakfasts and coffee. Highly recommended!!!

The staff is extremely friendly and the hostel super clean. We stayed one night and left in the morning for Tayrona. The location is perfect if you want to take a bus somewhere as it is only a five-minute-walk to the bus station. The breakfast is good! We could leave our luggage at the hostel for two days while being in the nationalpark - for free! When we came back we were allowed to shower. Great hostel, can only recommend!

Very clean and friendly hostel. Nora, the owner speaks good English and tries to help with everything. I stayed in the dorm, luckly we were only 2 people, because I can't imagine it with 6 people, the room should be for 4 maybe, it's just too tight for 6! Also, if you’re coming or going to Minca and Palomino, the hostel is a short walk from the bus stop at the mercado.
5.0
Great hostel, staff was extremely kind and accommodating, it is very close to the bus station and about 10 minutes walk from the historical center. Really great atmosphere, would highly recommend!
5.0
Nice Hostel! I stayed here because the bus station to tayrona and minca are near. The beds have curtains and they are comfortable. In the night they turn the AC on for good sleep. The employees are so nice and helpful! I felt very welcoming. Even after my stay there they helped me. Thank you very much!

Downtown restaurants are less than 10 minute walk away and the area feels safe at night

Quiet place, good beds with curtains, kitchen is ok, wifi is ok, staff is very nice and helpful, good location in center and close to mercado where the buses leave. Perfect place for a night or two.

Amazing staff and great location, just a few streets away from the market and the bus stop to explore the region, so perfect if you're heading to other places around Santa Marta. Many bathrooms and toilets. Lovely patio to take breakfast and enjoy your coffee. Good value for money. Thanks again!
I was in a bunk bed on the top and It was a bit too much for me with the ventilation and aircon, it was pretty cold and noisy..
5.0
Owner run hostel in a safe area close to the city center/beaches and Minca/Taganga/Tayrona buses; great attention and service by the staff; calm and relaxing atmosphere. Best hostel for me in 4 months in South America, felt like home.

Overall a really nice hostel, lovely staff. The room was clean and nicely decorated. Great breakfast!
To get to the hostel felt a little dodgy. It is in a more quiet place in Santa Marta which is why we booked it, however I found it really difficult to sleep as our room backed onto the communal area and there were people up chatting until 1am.

IMAGINE served the purpose for a quick stopover. Isabel at the desk was helpful and informative & directed me for what I needed. The shared space was bright & inviting.
My private room used the tiny space efficiently, and some might think it was cute, but I wasn't expecting a ladder to the mezzanine bed.
The ladder to the bed made me nervous, if I had to get up in the night.
I had to cancel my second stay, as I had a stomach virus & didn't trust a potentially dangerous scramble to the bathroom.

I ended up staying here in Hostal Imagine for a long time and it’s just a perfect place!
- Everything is easy
- Very good value for price
- Very clean
- You can reach the sights easily by walking
- The crew is just awesome.
Even stayed for Christmas with them and am soo thankful! Gonna miss the Granola and Forty. Definitely choose this hostel if you can!

This hostel was the best thing in all Santa Marta! Room had an ac, a life saver in this hot climate! Room looked a bit bigger in the picture, but since it has an upper floor it felt really spacious and a lot of natural light coming in, also possible to open the window. Nice to have 2 choices for breakfast. Friendly staff. Good location near restaurants and bus stop (taganga, tayrona, minca). It's not one of the cheapest ones in the town but I think it's worth of the money.
No hot water, but not a big deal in this climate. The pool is very small but you can still cool down in there (and for sure it's better than no pool).
