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!

Amazing stay in Santa Marta. Placita Viega hotel is located right in the center of town at the parque de los novios. It is a walkable distance away from all of the best restaurants, clubs, and bars. The area is always full of people and very safe. It is also a 5 minute walk from Santa Marta beach.

Very clean and spacious. I stayed in the Presidential Suite, which has a large patio and beautiful view of the mountains and the sea with a few glorious sunsets during my stay. The outdoor shower was unique too. Though it lacked a few amenities, it was overall a very nice experience. The suite is very private as well, another nice feature. The pool was clean and large enough to enjoy. I saw a worker cleaning the pool on my first day there. The staff was very friendly and helpful and on my last day, the lady front desk person helped me make a last minute reservation with Marsol Transport Service for my return to Cartagena. Muchas gracias. I hope to stay again.I mentioned this in my initial report but the hotel is a bit hard to find if arriving by foot. My IPhone Apple map has it placed incorrectly in the Plaza de los Novios on the opposite side of the their location. There are also two signs for the hotel on the Justica Building but that is not the site of the hotel. The hotel is actually across the plaza from this (white) government building on the other side in the corner near Donde Cucho Restaurant.

Really loved our stay here. Had a brand new room on second floor right next to pool. Pool had a connected sauna so you can go in and out seamlessly. Pool deck has a nice view out over the parque de los novios. The staff is very sweet and accommodating. Only complaints were a check in that took waaaay too long (45 minutes ) and our breakfast wasn’t ready when requested and they changed what we ordered the night before.

Its a wonderful boutique hotel that fronts El Parque de los Novios in the center of old Santa Marta. The staff was friendly and attentive, the room was spotless, the A/C blew cold air and the shower had hot water. All was appreciated.Good dining is nearby, and El Parque de los Novios is the center of nightlife for that area. Theres good shopping, the beach is a two-minute walk, and taxis are easy to obtain. Santa Marta itself seems a little decaying and past its prime, but the Placita Vieja Hotel was an absolute gem.

Charming hotel located on the corner of the main town square which provides great access to restaurants and nightlife. The staff is very friendly and helpful. This could easily be a 5-star review, however there are a few negatives worth noting. We booked the deluxe room which is located on the ground floor, right next to the reception desk. This room is comfortable and spacious, but facing the main (lively) square made it very noisy and overall lacking in privacy. I would really recommend requesting a room in the back. You also have to knock to be let in to the hotel each time, which has the unintended impact of making you feel like you’re being monitored. I still would have given it 5 stars, but we had a really strange incident occur at check out which left us with a bad taste. We were about to leave when the staff went in to do a thorough check of the room, noticing that apparently one of the small towels was missing. Other staff came to help turn the room upside down and this started turning into a small scene at the front with the driver from the Marsol transport van waiting. The possibility and likelihood that this towel was never supplied to us wasn’t even considered, so it seemed that we simply must have taken it. To avoid making the situation even more awkward, we just offered to pay for it so we can be on our way - a gesture which they promptly accepted. Perhaps make a note of what towels/items have been supplied to you each day and follow up if something’s missing,

Beautiful boutique hotel with very nice and friendly staff. The hotel is located right in the middle of the city centre close to all the restaurants and bars but surprinsignly enough is perfectly isolated from the noise. We stayed there during the busy weekend nights and did not hear any music or noise from outside. The pool area is a great relaxing option and they also offer a massage service. Totally recommendable.

A fantastic stay in a beautiful and very well managed boutique hotel! The hotel has a great location, directly at the lively square. From the moment one enters, every member of the staff are very friendly, helpful and always ready to improve your stay. The rooms are very spacious, beautiful and individually designed. On the rooftop, one has the hard choice between the gorgeous pool or overlooking life on the square. In summary, it was everything one could hope for - and much more!
