Good atmosphere & location. Excellent breakfast - delicious scrambled eggs, (personal touch with named basket of 2 eggs) ad lib fruit, toast & coffee. Rooftop a good place to meet up with fellow travellers
Stairs to top bunk were ‘different’ & large space between bed & wall. Locker difficult to open/close as doors catching on floor. Cash not card payment

El personal era muy bueno, las chicas que trabajan ahí son muy amorosas. Los baños increíble, la cocina bien equipada, las camas cómodas y limpias. Los desayunos eran MUY buenos. A esto sumar que es muy lindo, incluso mucho más de cómo se ve en las fotos. Volvería a ir.
Nada, todo increíble

I have stayed in two other hostels in Santa Marta and this one was definietly The best. The staff is really friendly, it is really clean and The beds are perfectly designed for travellers needs - it has lamps, curtains & plugs. It is like having your little room inside of The room. The beds are also really big. The location in in The center. Nice kitchen, swimming pool & terrace. Great breakfast included. It is just a little bit more expensive than The cheapest options in Santa Marta and 100% worth it.

There’s air conditioning only from 18:00 to 9:00. So when you book the place because of the air conditioning you should know that it’s not completely true. The pool is not clean and the dorms are not well kept.

3.0 / 5.0
the double beds with the blind. the breakfast was really nice
that the windows didn’t shut so could hear everything on the street, woke up at 5:30 to a carnival type thing. not sociable, had to pay a deposit for an towel with holes all over it. mosquito nets would be good as I got lots of bites.
4.5 / 5.0
Very good hostel in the city centre of Santa Marta. Great dorms with comfy bed and good bathrooms. Small swimming pool and lovely free breakfast in the rooftop of the hostel.
Sadly not the hostel’s fault but the street was very loud and busy the night I stayed as a party was happening in the street. Just something to take in consideration if you want a restful stay.

Amazing place
0.5 / 5.0
Only the position
well, there were too many things that didn’t work in this place.
The room itself was really small for 3 people
we tried to open the window but the glass broke down and it dropped. Wr called the girl at the reception and she only took the glass off without solving the real problem.
We even tried to plug our phones in but just one of them worked and the other two…no way.
The room was really but really dirty and we found cockroaches on the floor. I think it’s disgusting. There were cockroaches in the shower.
We couldn’t even sleep well because there were people in the kitchen screaming, laughing and talking loudly until 3pm and none of the staff told them off.
We were charged 14 euros for the laundry service and I think it is a bit expensive.
last but not least, the day after we informed the receptionist about the noise produced by the drunk guests in the kitchen and she said that at night there is always someone working there but it was not true, no one was there and we were completely alone.
