The breakfast was pretty good. The staff was really helpful and very kind. The location is a little fur from the city centre, but there are a lot of restaurants around it, so if u wanna avoid the city centre mess, it is a good option for u.

There are some common spaces and I liked hammock area! I didn’t have a time to enter but there is also swimming pool. The breakfast was sufficient for me!!! The staff is very helpful!!!

I needed to walk a little to get a van to Minca But not too far! Maybe the problem was I walked at the worst time around 14:00 with strong sunshine and big backpack… I didn’t go out in the evening to the center I just went to supermarket close to the hostel by walk but the local people said to take Moto taxi when I was arriving to the hostel around 7:00 pm

Great place to start Lost City Trek from

Great hostel to base yourself for any of the lost city treks. They even let us store our bags while we were away for free. The little pool is nice to cool off in and the kitchen was great.

Cold showers. No windows in our room.

Nice hostel with good facilities, outside the city, expensive laundry and card payments

Large rooms with air conditioning and storage space. Small but pleasant pool and breakfast provided each morning. Good cooking facilities and friendly staff. Free room provided for a night when booking the lost city trek via the hostel which was a big bonus. Secure luggage storage with individual lockers for valuables

Slightly out of the city centre but we were made aware of this before booking. 5% charge for card payment which was introduced part way through our stay 15000 COP / kg for laundry which is the most expensive we have come across in Colombia!

Exceptional

The bathroom is huge, breakfast is amazing (quite a lot of fruit), the personnel is very nice and helpful, there is a possibility to leave your stuff, and they give you filtered water for free.

There are not lockers in the room, but it felt quite safe just to leave the things as it is. though the lockers would be great addition. Also, it is a bit far from the centre (20 min walk that in the heat of Santa Marta seems quite a lot).

Over 30 hotels in Colombia

The people who work on reception are fantastic, I don't speak Spanish but they all speak a number of languages, it made communication easy, The facilities are exactly as described, the kitchen has everything you need & more, there's a fridge so I can store food ????, it's a hostel but the pot and pans are in great condition, not at all what I'm used too in a hostels, the blender is perfect for making fresh juices daily and the breakfast( cooked by Jolee)is perfect to start the day, the kitchen and pool are cleaned daily, so is everything else, bed, shower room ect: A young man walks by and sells fresh fruit daily for a reasonable price, D1 sells pineapples for 4mil and he changes 5 and they are never rotten, unlike the D1 store located about 5mins walk to the left of the hostel and the beach is too the right and it's 10min walk but a motor taxi is only 5miln and a taxi is 7mil(minimum fare) the hostel is between the beach police station and a big local police station to the left, so it's super safe, police patrol the area constantly. Ocean mall is 15min walk just past McDonald's and they have everything you need but very expensive.. it's all good I ended up staying for 21days instead of 3... I would highly recommend..

The little man who works nights is a bit weird, nothing dangerous, just a little creep if your in a single room, you might hear him outside your door being nosy a few times a night, but only in the single rooms, the dorms are good and quiet with no bother at all.

Pretty place in a nice area

The hostel is spacious, clean, nicely decorated and has a lot of common areas. Breakfasts are tasty and the staff if friendly. We could store our luggage when going for the Lost City trek, including the use of lockers for our valuables.

The mattresses on both our beds weren't comfortable, as they were worn down (they were concaved, so you slept in a "hole") and my husband had a serious back pain every morning.

huge private room

the perfect place. I booked before and after my lost city hike. the staff is SO NICE and SO helpful. they let me store my luggage. there is a lot of common space that I don’t think is accurately represented on booking. full kitchen and big fridge. breakfast is great too. it’s about 15 min walk to downtown. and honestly I’m glad I stayed here because downtown was too chaotic. there is a bit of street noise but honestly if you’re used to it not bad.

No hot showers, but it's normal in the area I think. Breakfast is too early, between 7.30 and 9
