Tutto perfetto

Ci siamo trovati molto bene tanto che ci siamo ritornati. 10 min a piedi dal centro, colazione buona, piscina pulita, ristorante buono e bella energia. Camera doppia spaziosa e pulita. Hanno tante escursioni e ci hanno chiamato anche il taxi per il terminal dei bus. Consigliato!

Parfait

La piscine, l’ambiance, le personnel au petit soin, on peut laisser ses affaires en toute sécurité pendant les treks alentours. On s’y sent comme à la maison.

Le petit déjeuner peut être amélioré

EXCEPTIONALLY GREAT

Everything about this hostel is correct. The reception staff (Melissa and Lina) are just very helpful, kind and always willing to help. Breakfast is great, they have other additional options at an affordable price. They also have dinner options for an average of 30k. I stayed at a 10-bed dorm and there was plenty of room. The AC is just on from 8PM to 8 AM but during the day it's not that bad to stay in the dorms. They also have laundry service 15k per kilo and 20k for bags and shoes. They have your clothes cleaned somewhere else so your clothes are ready on the following day 7 AM (if you hang them in before 2PM). The laundry service is just impeccable. The kitchen has plenty of room and utensils to cook and there is a free to take section that other travelers contribute to. The hostel is very near the bus stop that goes to Minca and Tayrona Park.

Felt like home for me.

Would definitely recommend this hostel. Loved the vibe, very chilled with super friendly and helpful staff. Food is great with plenty of outdoor space to relax. Will stay there again.

Bit of a walk to the beach but not more than 10mins. However super close to the local markets.

Prima verblijf Santa Marta

We hadden een ruime 2 persoonskamer, er was warm water in de douch en een goede airco. Ze bieden een wasservice aan en er zit een beveiligde poort voor het hostel.

Het hostel ligt een paar straten buiten het centrum wat niet fijn aan voelt om er te lopen, ook niet overdag. Ontbijt is standaard en elke dag hetzelfde, je kan variëren en uitbreiden maar dan moet je bij betalen. Zwembad zag er niet heel uitnodigend uit.

Foncez

La piscine super sympa Les espaces communs superbes, dont la cuisine ultra clean et bien équipée Eau chaude dans les douches Emplacement proche du marché pour prendre les bus

Prix un peu élevé Pas la faute de l’auberge mais guests qui mettent leur musique à fond dans la sdb comme chez eux

La atención fue buena.

Lo cercano que esta a lugares estratégicos, en mi caso a bus para Tayrona.

El hostel tenia algunas lugares que falta de atención, los sofás incomodos, las puertas sonaban abrir y cerrar.

A nice stay in a quiet corner of Santa Marta

The hostal was located in a quiet area of town and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The included breakfast was lovely and a great start to the day. It was located near to where you get the bus to visit Minca and Palomino.

Decent place

Staff was really helpful with regards to planning and places to visit.

Wasn't as close to the city center as I expected it to be. The room I was located in was next to the supply/janitor room, so the staff would wake me up every morning around 0700 due to noise.

Fantastic hostel, would highly recommend to everyone.

Staff were wonderful, very friendly and great and helping to book day trips and onward travel. Rooms were sizable, comfy and kept clean. Fantastic free breakfast. Lovely outdoors area to relax and socialise. Good walking distance from the old town for bars and restaurants.

Superb

Very nice double room with A/C, a clean bathroom and good breakfast. Perfect location if you want to go to Tayrona or Lost City, just 5min walking from the bus stop and free luggage storage. Restaurant with tasty food and not overcharged. Nice small pool with pleasant outside lounge area.

Beds could be a little bit more comfortable. Besides that, all good.

The staff is super friendly and nice. The pool area is really nice and you can relax. The beds are very comfortable and there are curtains for more privacy. There is free breakfast and coffee.

The air-conditioning stops working at 8 am and the room gets quite hot but this can be good as there is a good reason to wake up early and start your day ;) The hostel is close to city center but the area may be a bit strange during night (Uber is always a good and cheap option)

Exceptional

The private rooms are big and beds super confortable. The staff is very kind and always available if you need something. nice outdoor area with a little restaurant. We were supposed to stay 3 nights but ended up staying almost 2 weeks!

everything was great. the only thing that could be improve is the schedule of the restaurant. they only have one person working there so when he has days off the restaurant is closed. a second person should be hired :)

Good breakfast and open air area. Massive bathrooms are nice too

Beds only have curtains on two sides, leaving the other two open. Privacy is minimal but still fairly quite.

Promising place but questionable service

The garden is a really nice place to hang out

Firstly, they insist in (wrongly) changing IVA tax to foreigners, so the price you pay will be 19% higher. The wifi is bad Some of the staff aren't very helpful. I had the pleasure of ordering some food directly from the chef and he was the most miserable person I have ever met.

the pool and out door area is amazing. staff were pretty nice - stored our bags for free in locked area. dorm room was nice and had good lockers. darts board and bar area is fun.

Great hostel, bar and pool

We loved thr pool and bar area, drinks were reasonable and there were always people around and games on. Breakfast was nice and the showers got bot. Bed was comfy and the air con worked really well. Staff were always helpful and it was just a 10 min walk into town.

Would have been nice if there were some activities organised by the hostel but apart from that we loved it.
