Just awful!

Reviewed By Barranquillajohn

Made the reservation on line and when we arrived the clerk could not find our reservation. I had to go around the desk and find the reservation on the hotel's computer screen! The hotel did not reserve the requested room type. The room itself looked like a prison cell. The beds were as hard as a rock and the pillows like pancakes! No lamps just a overhead light. We could hear all the noise from the hallway. The restaurant is only open from 7am to 8.30am for breakfast??!!?? The food and service were just awful. I understand that this is a low star hotel but the service and room do not justify the low price. Just awful.

Good rooms & hospitality. Nice touch to have a cake in my room on my birthday. It was close to work & it safe & secure. The food was good but more variety for with vegetarian meals would be good to add to the menu.

Lovely hotel. It has a pleasant garden and a nice swimming pool. Our room, 105, was large and well equipped. The best place we have stayed in Colombia. The aircon is efficient. WiFi was satisfactory. The breakfast and lunches were good. The staff were friendly and helpful., especially as my husband was ill and needed a bit of extra looking after. We would definitely come back here again.

Nice Hostel and Location, but Problems - Would Not Stay Again

Reviewed By PeterAndNatalia

We reserved a room with private bathroom at this hostel based on the good reviews. However it didn't live up to to those reviews. Room #4 is in a different building (down the street) from the office so you will dragging your luggage down the street. And breakfast is served a at a 3rd location - their sister hostel which looked much better to us. Our room (4) overlooked the street and the common balcony, so there's a lot of street noise and other guests using the balcony right outside your window. There's no hot water and the shower drain was very slow. The rooms in this building are also up a narrow spiral staircase - not easy to use. Overall, a good location (2 blocks from the coast and many restaurants) but there are better properties in Riohacha.

Below Average Hotel

Reviewed By PeterAndNatalia

Stayed 1 night after a 3 day tour to Punta Gallinas. Clean hotel with very average ammentities. No window in the room (none have outside windows). No hot water and broken shower head. Shower floor sloped away from drain so water went onto the bathroom floor. Breakfast was below average - tiny bit of scrambled eggs and a dry piece of toast. Really? WiFi worked, but slow. Location is good - only 5 minutes walk to restaurants on the coast. Would not stay again. Better options in the area.

Hotel Castillo del Mar Suites

The resort is the only hotel with direct access to the beaches of Riohacha, all others have a busy street in between. Enjoy the relaxing beaches, thematic river pool, modern rooms with views and balconies with direct access to the beach, and our amazing food through international and local plates in one of two restaurants available to you for breakfast, lunch, and dinner; the downtown area, cultural center, and airport are all within 5 minutes driving distance.

Visit Only as an In Between Rest Stop. No Long Stays!

Reviewed By Lbui_1990

This is a hard one to review, cause I want to be mindful of the progress of the actual city and not just compare experiences. I think the biggest issue I had with this hotel is that they are focusing so much on new stuff without making what they have great. The room felt like a prison and it is actually next door to a prison! The pool was dirty, the room had missing drywall and broken tiles and just a general stain to the walls and furniture. The WiFi is only available in the lobby. The food was difficult to consume. The good thing about this hotel is it’s walkable to the main areas! The staff is super nice. And there are many options for snacks, drinks, breakfast, lunch and dinner.
