First of all the stuff are lovely. It’s clearly changed hands and they’re doing their best in trying circumstances. I don’t normally leave bad reviews but 4.5/5 rating is completely misleading. WARNING - this hotel is nothing like the pictures. It’s very dirty and run down, the toilets and drains smell bad and it’s infested with mosquitoes. The breakfast is tasty but there are no options. You can hear every noise from other rooms and it’s a loud area. The fan rooms are fair too hot and smell very bad. If you want to come to Santa Marta then I would make sure you opt for the best accommodation you can afford.

Patrick is a lovely man. The breakfast, not included, was very good. The place has seen better days and the neighbourhood is quite unattractive. We moved to Santa Sofia hotel and were very happy there.

Excellent hostel experience
For a hostel this was very good. Great staff, clean room with private bathroom, fine breakfasts and cafe choices at other times. It seems like this hostel has the best interests of the clients.

Nice place and quiet but barebones.
This is a nice place, safe area, quiet, and the staff are great and very helpful. The Wi-Fi essentially only works near the reception desk where there’s no AC and Santa Marta is hot. The bathrooms are very small and there’s no hot water.

Fantastic Service
Fantastic stay here, staff were very friendly and accomodating, place was very clean and has a lovely little cafe area. We opted for a ceiling fan instead of aircon which was grand bar one night that was particularly warm. Patrick was very helpful with his information about the surrounding areas and transport. 5 minute walk from the beach and bulk of restaurants.

Great stay
Very enjoyable stay, close to the main resteraunts and beaches. The couple who run the place were from Dublin and were very helpful as our Spanish isn't great. They were very happy to help us organise the rest of our trip

Buena relación costo beneficio
Es un buen lugar y bastante económico, limpio y su personal es muy amable, el único inconveniente es que tal vez no atendí las especificaciones pero mi habitación aunque tenía el equipo de aire acondicionado este no funcionaba, incluso en las fotos de la habitación en el sitio se ve el aire acondicionado pero no se ofrecía este servicio. desayuno rico.

La atención en el hotel es buena, sin embargo durante las 3 noches que estuvimos no hicieron aseo en la habitación, otro aspecto a mejorar, es la ducha, el chorro era casi imperceptible. El sitio en general es agradable y el desayuno rico.

Lo bueno y lo malo
Lo bueno: La atención es buena en el día, la limpieza está bien, el desayuno es rico, la zona es segura y tiene comercio variado. Lo malo: En la noche tienen en recepción una muchacha que no atiende mucho que digamos, y en mi opinión sería muy importante si ayudaran a los gatos que se la pasan ahí, son muy dosiles y lindos pero necesitan atención y ayuda ☹️

Mala experiencia
Desafortunadamente no pasamos buena noche, la habitación estaba llena de zancudos, la limpieza no fue la mejor y adicional nos tocó una habitación cerca a la recepción y durante toda la noche las personas que se hospedaban timbraban para que les abrieran y se podían demorar hasta media hora para que alguien los atendiera

Mejoras
Por el precio que pagamos nos acomodaron en una habiatación con baño privado, una cama doble y una sencilla, tv, ventilador, una silla, un armario pequeño y un nochero. Lo que no me gusto fue que la limpieza del cuarto no limpiaban el baño y las areas comunes como el bar no estaban disponibles. La atención del cliente se puede mejorar.
