This hostel was much cheaper than the rest and so far has been the cheapest hostel I have stayed at in Colombia. The rooms have high ceilings, new beds and linens, and the bathroom is big enough to move around and the sink basin is separate so people can brush their teeth while someone is showering. There was a free... More

Many review that I read about the hostel say that the location is very good....... I don't think so! Is in one of the three worst and dangerous streets of central Santa Marta! You can hear breaking bottles around the corner, junkies and dealers all around. The hostel is ok, a nice welcome drink, nice breakfast and the dorms are... More

The hostel is simple with just dorms but has everything you need plus more for a nice easy stay eg welecome drink, great breakfast, nice staff really friendly, laundry service, locker room for bags, good...

a great little hostal which is good value, friendly and clean, with a guest kitchen and a little cat too.

Stayed here for one night; I originally planned on staying longer. The good: Nice breakfast (eggs & coffee), good location (not a good block, but close to the beach). The bed and pillow were comfy. Small chests were offered as storage lockers. Wifi worked very well. The bad: The place felt very minimal and impersonal, the staff don't speak English... More

My friend and I loved staying in this place. The owner is a lovely woman, so sweet. You can really tell a lot of love is put into the hostel, and we felt very at home. If we ever come back to Santa Marta, we will be staying here!
