I like this hostel. It’s clean, it’s bright and the staff is very friendly and helpful. I stayed in a private room and felt like there wasn’t a social vibe in the hostel. Felt more like a hotel imo. I also didn’t feel 100% walking down the part of the street that leads to the hostel at night as it’s a little further away from the center.

Really nice and helpful stuff, comfortable beds with curtains, nice litte but well equipped kitchen, jacuzzi, very clean. But unfortunately the Hostel cat loves to play hide and seek in the dorms which is a bit annoying if you are allergic to cats. And the showers are a joke. it's more like a tap and there is no pressure at all. if this will be fixed its a 10/10 (still highly recommended to stay there!!)

Good hostel, clean, nice beds. Very kind staff who helped me with everything I asked them, even remembered that I have said that I needed a taxi to the airport so they already called me one when I was ready to leave. Showers have really little water power behind them so showering was a little hard.

The staff at this place is very friendly and helpful! They were able to arrange a taxi to Minca and stored luggage for a bit. The hostel itself is OK, kind of basic. Advertises a pool but really it’s not much bigger than a bathtub. Also an odd thing, check in time is 3pm…we arrived at 2pm and the room was ready (no one went in or out while we sat there waiting) but we had to sit in reception for an hour until the actual check in time. Most places let you check in early when the room is clea...

Um dos hostels com a equipe mais simpática e prestativa em que já estive! Todos te tratam com muita simpatia e fazem toda questão de ajudar. Além disso, o hostel fica MUITO perto de onde partem os ônibus para Tayrona, fazendo dele provavelmente o melhor lugar para se hospedar para quem quer visitar o Parque Natural. É para completar fica muito perto das atrações históricas dessa linda cidade. 100% recomendado!

A little piece of paradise in the city, with lovely staff and a cute cat. Absolutely not a party hostel, more an oasis of calm. Having said that, there is a fully stocked bar, breakfast and coffee. Close to all sights and very clean and well maintained.

Really nice and clean hostel. We liked the little pool and the hammocks in the backyard. Staff is amazing. Only thing is that there were no other travelers around but that was also the case in other places in Santa Marta.

Nice Hostel with a great Stuff! Very close to the mercado Central (where the busses to Minca, Tayrona leave) but therefore further from the center. Great hostel for daytrips to the jungle. Thanks for the stay♡

We LOVED this hostel. The lady who runs the hostel is so so lovely. She speaks good English and was so kind and patient with us. She gave us great restaurant recommendations and couldn’t have been friendly. The hostel itself is gorgeous. It’s so sweet and has such a great vibe about it. Everything is totally clean and in good working condition. The rooms have air on as well. The hostel is only five minutes walk from the bus station too.
