I absolutely loved all the activities. The salsa class was so good! It was nice to relax at the pool when it was too hot to do anything else. The rooms were nice and clean. The staff was helpful and ready to help with anything. They turned the AC up/down on request. They also gave me an additional blanket free of charge.

Yoga classes were very basic and short. I would only recommened it if you’ve never done yoga before, otherwise it’s a bit boring. They could clean the glass next to the pool that has a lot pf pigeon poop on it. If you plan to sleep before midinght it’s impossible because the music is banging through the inner yard.

+ nice pool on the roof + helpful staff + good bar on the roof + comfortable beds

- not very safe area but all colombian coast looks like this - at 5-6PM better stay in hostel if you like your phone, watch or your cash :)

Many activities each evening, which was helpful especially in Santa Marta, an unpleasant city that many visit just as a transfer point to further destinations. Staff was kind, beds were clean, facilities are welcoming, A/C in the rooms, nice rooftop

No warm water (since outside it is so hot, a cold shower was 100% fine, but just to point it out). Laundry service is allegedly ready after 12 hours, but in reality is a bit longer (it is not too much of a complaint either, as this is the rhythm in Colombia, but again, just to point out).

Loved it has a lift which is handy for people with mobility restrictions. Dayana the receptionist being nurse as well rescued my life ;-). Inés and Sheerlin were also very nice. The private room is rather small, but the bed was comfortable & ended up liking my room as much as the spots to lay on the sun at the rooftop terrace !!

Food was very disappointing and there is not too many options for restaurants as the hostel is not in the central area. Also, if you have food intolerance they don’t give you the chance to modify your dish. Even if you want a piece of lettuce on your burger instead the cheese, they will make you pay for a piece of lettuce. Quite annoying tbh ! Letting it apart, I had a nice stay. Thanks guys

Absolutely love this hostel and will keep coming back. Great pool. Great events. Easy to meet people. Just all around great. Cheap drinks at the bar. Hands down best hostels in Santa Marta and arguably best Viajero In Colombia maybe just behind Tayrona Viajero.

Only issue would be the A.C. it's typically in the corner so people in front of it freeze whereas the people furthest may sweat at night. Also they turn it off from 11am-6pm I believe so if you want to nap during the day it can be difficult if you don't like heat. Room isn't unbearably hot but warm enough to be sweaty and uncomfortable.

The place is a blast for the money, not as expensive as Viajero in Medellin yet really cosy, this is a large building - with rooftop pool, ping pong, restaurant, there are various activities. It really combines the hotel - because you can feel that you stay in a good quality hotel yet give you the hostel vibe with all the people around. It is close by to the old historic centre by foot and there is possibility to store luggage after check out - thank you Miguel!

We had an AMAZING STAY, we were supposed to stay one night but ended up extending it to 6 nights! We booked a twin bedroom, super comfy, AC, clean, everything needed was here and there are also loads of activities at the hostel to meet others viajeros. 🤙 I couldn’t find anything to improve. Big thanks to Ines and Camilla, such smily humans,friendly, attentive to your needs, and helpful regarding the activities if you’re wondering where to go and how to, this stay wouldn’t have been the same without you ❤️ Also thank you to Roxy on the rooftop you’re a sunshine 🌞

Nothing

Nice hostel in Santa Marta. Locker below the bed - can fit a smaller backpack. Available to keep my stuff before check-in and after check-out. Breakfast was not included in my reservation but I bought it and it was tasty and good portion.

Pub crawl tour that was starting at the hostel sucked. We went to empty bars and very, very poor drinks. It cost 50.000 COP (around 13.5 USD) but even that was too much for what we got. I would prefer a more expensive option but with better drinks. Also, the hostel wasn’t really doing anything to connect small groups - we were all the time separated.

We liked this hostel as a stopover before going into Tayrona national park. We bookend 4-bed dorm and got a 6-bed dorm just for us which was great. Each bed has a curtain for some privacy and the room had a bathroom and air conditioning. The hostel is great and feels like a hotel with several floors of rooms, a rooftop terrace with bar, music, and a pool as well as a nice restaurant on the ground floor. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful! Their English was probably the best we've heard during our trip which was great. They offered us a storage room for our big backpacks while we went overnight to Tayrona. The location is not right in the city center but only a short walk from it. Since we were 4 we dared to walk the short way at night after dinner in town. For solo travelers it could be worth to take a taxi although it is just a really short way. All in all nothing to complain!

Very clean, staff were great. Food in the restaurant nice and reasonably priced. I stayed in a private room which was a perfect size for one with a large suitcase. Had both fan and air con which were very much utilised. Was able to store luggage for a night while I went to Minca.

It’s not in the centre of Santa Marta but I didn’t need to be as I was using it as base to and from. It would be nice if they provided a water filter to refill bottles rather than just sell them - Even if room temp.
