Mosquitos
Although I had to have the room sprayed for mosquitos and leave the room while the poison took effect, I still was bitten by mosquitos. I hate mosquitos so I am glad I only stayed one night.

Nice place to stay in Santa Marta
The staff was very helpful and polite, it was so nice to be welcomed by them after a long day of travel. They were able to answer all of my questions and helped me set up a cab for an early flight. The building itself is beautiful and the rooftop deck is a nice reprieve from the noisy city streets below. However, the room was not as clean as it might have been, there was a dead cockroach in one corner, and the linens had spots on them. I also found the mattress to be somewhat uncomfortable. Overall it was a pleasant stay but I would have liked the room to be cleaner and more well-kept.

Front desk staff is amazing. Always available and pleased to help. The swimming pool on the rooftop although very small is really good and has nice views over the city and the cathedral. The hotel is really well located right beside the main shopping and pedestrian street. The room are well appointed and the A/C works very well. The room It has a mini bar. The only thing to improve is perhaps to provide more light in the bathroom as it feels extremely dark (there is only one spotlight in the ceiling). Overall is a great Hotel and with extremely attentive and pleasant staff in one of the best locations in the city.

Loved the Barcelona Suite
We stayed in the Barcelona suite for 3 nights as a base for visiting Minca and Tayrona. The room is massive and really nicely decorated, with 2 balconies off the bedroom and 1 off the sitting area. The hotel is only a block away from the main strip of restaurants, bars etc, which meant we could walk to these without feeling unsafe. The hotel itself has a security gate and felt very safe. It has a cute rooftop area with very small pool - we didn’t really use this much as we tended to be out all day. The room is well equipped including really good air con which was welcomed as this was our first stop on the Carribean coast! The only drawbacks were the very loud pigeons on the balcony early morning (take ear plugs) and the curtains were not black out (take eye mask!) The breakfast was made to order rather than buffet and had a good variety, but was sometimes a little slow - something to bear in mind if you’re heading out on a day trip and are pressed for time. The staff however were really friendly, and were helpful in organising our onward travel to Cartagena.

Nice place, nice people. room was uncomfortable.
It is in a convenient neighborhood and the staff was wonderful and the breakfast was wonderful. There was construction noise everyday, all day. I understand that can be temporary. If I have a complain it is that there is no place to sit down in your room except the bed. I asked for a chair but I was denied. How can someone stay in a room with no chair?

Disappointing
The reception desk told us that we were being upgraded. We were give the room Havana. May be the decoration is made on purpose to appear well worn out on purpose, but it does not look so. We compared the photos with what was shown on website but it seems that they were taken by professional photographer and can be little misleading. The worst bit was the breakfast. The potions are quite small with very limited choice. It is just eggs in various forms. Each extra glass of juice was paid. We were hungry in an hour after the breakfast. Very disappointing as we paid a premium for this so called boutique hotel. Anyways, the good point of the hotel is great location with many places to eat and hang out on walking distance. The staff gave us good indications.

The property is locate right in the city center 2 blocks from parque de los novios (Lovers Park) and one block from the cathedral and all the shopping from Downtown Santa Marta. Excellent choices for a complimentary breakfast. You feel like u went back in time in this hotel but still keeping modern restrooms.

2/10 Poor

The hotel is in very bad shape. The pictures on Expedia are very old, and don't reflect the real condition of the property. In my room, there were burnt light bulbs, and it took almost two days for them to change them. The hotel needs a fresh coat of painting, and there is a clear lack of maintenance and upkeep. It is full of cheap Ikea decor. The terrace looks terrible. The staff was nice and kind but there is little they can do in hotel where management is not investing in serious maintenance.

Great staff and location
Perfect location in the historic centre of Santa Marta with good restaurants and bars within a few minutes walk. Our room was beautiful and airy with lots of space and the hotel also has a roof terrace with great views of town. Staff were lovely and very helpful so we'd fully recommend this hotel for a visit to this part of Colombia.
