    I stayed here before and after my trip to Tayrona national park. Everyone who worked at this hostel, Yudis, Stacie, Duvon, Gabriella fui muy muy amable. They were so kind and helpful. The pool was very relaxing and the location was amazing.

    The hostel had to change it’s location due to Corona. The new place is not even close as nice as the old one was. We were super disappointed, most of all because they moved 20 days before our arrival, so long after we booked, and there was no notification of any kind. I knew the hostel from before when breakfast was included and they had amazing rooms. Now it’s not recommendable anymore! The room was gross, breakfast lasted one hour to make and costed 8mil pesos per person. Two stars for friendly staff and hard Corona times.

    The place is dirty - all beds are squeaky and most of the rooms have no windows. The kitchen is Super tiny and dirty with cockroaches roaming around. People don’t wash their utensils and there is no one to do anything about it. The hostel takes volunteers who don’t care about customers at all. Our laundry was accepted at the reception a day earlier with a promise to return the next day - only to be told the next day that we should take it to a shop outside as they are short on staff. For our check in - the reception was Super lazy and kept pushing the work from one volunteer to the other. Not recommended at all.

    Decent place for a private room. Nothing much going on in the hostel.

    Reception staff were friendly, location is right near the centre. Unfortunately a few negatives - Air con didn’t work, room had no windows, shower head was missing and toilet didn’t have the best smell.

    Decent hostel for the price you pay. Super friendly staff. Unfortunately, the room didn’t have any window blinds which made it super bright and it was very noisy. I wouldn’t have stayed more than one night.

    For its price, this place was fine. Clean and quiet. Even though the room had a/c I had to pay extra to use it. When I asked about it, they said I only paid for a room with a fan. Nothing in my booking gave me an option. It was quite hot as there were no flyscreens, so had to sleep with windows closed. But for that price I was ok with it. Really good location. One street back from all the night-life noise. Service was average. It would be nice if they acknowledge you when you walk in or out, or when you come to the counter. Not very warm or welcoming. Didn't bother to show me any of the facilities when I arrived, just showed me my room and that was it. Overall I just needed a bed, and I got that. But nothing to rave about here.

    The hostel is amazing, very clean and organised. One of the best hostel I ever been. The staff is super great and super attentive but the star of all is Mario..the barman..apart fo Tom the great cocktails..he will always put a smile on your face. Thanks

    Loved the nights we stayed at Fatima. Mario and Fernando were nice and incredibly helpful. They held our luggage for free as we did a couple nights in Tayrona.

  • 1/5 Will T. 1 year ago on Google
    They put me in a room with out AC. I asked for a room with AC and they refused. I paid in person, when I said ok I’m going to go somewhere else I am not feeling well and need AC, the guy refused to refund me. Don’t stay at this place, the people are just greedy they don’t care about you, its quite sad. If I could give them a negative score I will.

    Great location. Friendly local staff. Good private rooms. Dorms a bit hit but very cheap.

  • 5/5 J. D. 5 years ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing. For less than 10 bucks one of the most pleasant hostels I've stayed at in the last 3 months. Small pool to cool down in; lovely roof terrace to hang out; cheap and good food at the restaurant on the roof and it's open till midnight, which I loved; good beds with individual fan and plugs; separate bathroom just for the 6-bed dorm; small but nice breakfast; great location; ... Everything was on point! I loved it!

  • 5/5 Daniel B. 4 years ago on Google
    Very clean, modern, affordable hostel. Very nice and helpful staff. My dorm room had it's own bathroom, felt almost like a private room. For 20k pesos it has a really high standard and breakfast. Even two jacuzzis and rooftop bar. I wanted to give it 3 or 4 stars because both the meals I had was burned and they forgot to do my laundry, also you don't connect to people as easily like in Fatima Bogotá, because it feels more like a hotel. But because of the great staff and incredible value it still gets 5 stars, I kept coming back.

    Horrible place. Can't keep doors closed? No problem, use towel! No steps to the beds on the top. Almost no bathrooms. I am scared to closed eyes and sleep.

  • 1/5 Louis M. 2 years ago on Google
    Terrible hostel, This establishment is disgusting and shouldn’t be allowed to trade as a hostel. PLEASE do not stay here. I am ashamed that we stayed here and embarrassed that we blessed the owner with any of our hard earned money. PLEASE DON’T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE THAT WE DID! for the same price or less there´s better options.

  • 3/5 Joe T. 2 years ago on Google
    It’s ok for the price but I was a little shocked they don’t give out free water which most hostels provide which encourages plastic waste. The room was very small for 4 people and is short of socket outlets in the room. The plus is there is a swimming pool and a large rooftop to chill.

    Location: Near the main bay, el parque de los novios and "La quinta" the commercial areas of Santa Marta for tourists. There are many restaurants nearby. Prices, are pretty fair and good even for local people (colombians). Environment and facilities, many nice people go and stay there and if you socialize you can probably share culture and experiences with many of them up on the terrace. There is also a nice pool to go when the temperature is high. Critics, during my stay a group of rap called "Todo copas" caused many troubles for some of the travellers that slept in the shared dorms in the terrace. Apart from that 2 of the beers that I put in the shared fridge were lost basically when that group was there and the administration did nothing.

  • 3/5 Dan B. 1 year ago on Google
    Well priced fairly clean and good environment. Pay for your beers upfront not on a tab to avoid being overcharged. Good hostel, good staff and would recommend

  • 5/5 Barbara 5 years ago on Google
    Really great hostel! Lovely staff and good vibe. The location is great and really close to the beach. The kitchen is a typical hostel kitchen though, with no chopping boards and short hours.

  • 4/5 Kayla H. 7 years ago on Google
    Great little hostal, barebones but more than you need for a place (yet small) to stay and have a shower. The pool is nice, breakfast included and the roof top bar means you don't even have to leave to make friends. If you're a light sleeper the music from the rooftop bar might annoy you, but it shuts off pretty early (about 12)

  • 5/5 Claire C. 5 years ago on Google
    Very Nice place ! We liked it so much ! This hostal is really near from the city center and they had everything we need : Towel and breakfast included, a swimming pool and a roofftop bar which both are very nice and they also organise beach volley twice a week with guest from the hostel. Room super clean and owner and staff are very helpful and friendly! As you see we definitely loved this place!

  • 5/5 Julien G. 5 years ago on Google
    Actually, I didn't plan to stay to long in Santa Marta, but one of my luggage went missing from my flight. Then the staff help me so much to contact the airport. The hostel is really well situated, near the beach, the cultural district and the supermarket. Also, a super nice rooftop to relaxe or have a drink in the evening. I warmly recommend it to anyone, travellers or family. đź‘Ť

    Great hostel. Single room with shared bathroom for the price of a dorm elsewhere. Nice pool, great breakfast and rooftop bar/terrace. I stayed there twice in between trips to Minca and Tayrona and would stay again. Staff are fab ♥️

  • 5/5 Sol C. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice central hostel in Santa Marta. Very close by the popular square and the main Street. 24hr reception, very friendly and funny staff. They are always trying their best to help you. Clean bedroom with fan and AC (in our case wasn't working but we managed to survive with the fan)

  • 5/5 Stazi D. 5 years ago on Google
    I only stayed here one night but I had a very nice experience. The owner organised a game of beach volleyball and we played for hours. The hostel had a nice pool, was clean and had big lockers. Beds were comfortable and location is central. The rental price included a good breakfast. Thanks for a great experience.
