    This place is a little gem! The hostel in clean, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the little plunge pool is just what you need after a hot day in the city. It’s centrally located to everything the city has to offer as well as being a great jumping off point for tours and trips outside of Santa Marta. I highly recommend this space to travelers!

    Imagine is one of my favorite hostels I’ve ever stayed in. It’s a small, calm and inviting place with great ambience. The staff there are so kind and friendly - I didn’t want to leave. They really make you feel welcome and are incredibly helpful with any questions. Overall, the rooms and bathrooms and kept very clean. Wifi is fast and breakfast is included, which is amazing considering the price. It is a bit far from the nightlife, so you should use a taxi if you are solo or going out as It’s not a very safe area at night. I had a great experience at Imagine and would definitely stay again :)

    (Translated by Google) The stay was incredible, the whole place is very well adapted and is very comfortable, you don't need absolutely anything. Nora made our stay wonderful, that warmth and openness to give us advice and recommendations makes Imagine a thousand times better than anywhere else. Definitely a great place to stay. (Original) La estancia fue increíble, todo el lugar esta muy bien adaptado y es muy cómodo, no te hace falta absolutamente nada. Nora hizo nuestra estadía maravillosa, esa calidez y apertura para darnos consejos y recomendaciones hace que Imagine sea mil veces mejor que cualquier otro lado. Sin duda un gran lugar para quedarse.

    (Translated by Google) Excellent Hostel! Spacious place, good rooms, comfortable beds, great breakfast and very close to the public market, not in the wheel for those who are going to Tayrona. Plus I was saved by the hostess. She helped me with some personal issues, she was super kind. I highly recommend this hostel! (Original) Hostel excelente! Lugar espaçoso, quartos bons, camas confortáveis , ótimo café da manhã e bem pertinho d mercado público, não na roda pra quem está indo pro Tayrona. Além disso fui salvo pela anfitriã. Ela me ajudou com alguns problemas pessoais, foi super amável. Recomendo muito este hostel!

    Beds are great. Hostel is also great although a bit low energy. Some Russian guy in the room kept snoring, dying and gasping for air and there wasn't another room to put him (and he would leave himself).

    Such a great place to stay in Santa Marta! The double room is amazing, the breakfast tastes nice and the stuff is super helpful and friendly! Totally recommend it.

    Nice Hostel! I stayed here because the bus station to tayrona and minca are near. The beds have curtains and they are comfortable. In the night they turn the AC on for good sleep. The employees are so nice and helpful! I felt very welcoming. Even after my stay there they helped me. Thank you very much! 😊

    If there would be the possibility to give 10 stara out of 10 - they would get them! On our trip through latinamerica we stayed only 3 nights. It was such a great stay - the hostel is a wonderful cozy place with an extraordinary service!! You really feel like they truly care for you. Everybody tried to help when we lost our wallet in the bus the night when we arrived/ or it was stolen while we slept, no idea. They helped in every possible way with calling the bus company, giving many vary useful recommendations for day trips, in and around Santa Marta and who we can contact for city tours. The breakfast was very good and the room clean, well decorated and functional. They have a cute cat that's very friendly and we'll educated. In a nutshell: we would have loved to stay longer but they were fully booked after the 3 nights. We can 100% recommend this place in every single way!

    A hidden gem! Really reasonably priced room in a lovely, chilled hostel. The staff - especially Nora - were amazing! My partner was sick and she helped us so much and was very kind. Our room was amazing - huge, A/C and private bathroom. Perfect to unwind after staying in dorms. Free breakfast too with a fresh fruit bowl and help yourself filter coffee! The main square was only a 5 minute walk away also. Would not hesitate to recommend this place ❤️

    I stayed there and never regretted my choice. If you are into exploring Tayrona Park or having a diving snorkeling experience - the location is the best, it's so close to the Marina de Santa Marta Ana well to the bus stops. Excellent service, all staff members were very attentive to my needs and questions. Our room was super cozy and clean, no noise. I will definitely stay here again 👍

    I appreciated the clean room, which turned out to be quite spacious thanks to the mezzanine style bed. Nora and Nancy provided a very warm welcome and were always available for advice and suggestions about day trips, restaurants, etc. I felt at home and would be happy to stay at imagine again in the future.
