We rolled into Santa Marta with no accommodation. We found Placita Vieja boutique hotel by chance. AMAZING! The rooms are unique and have a/c (woohoo). Jesus at the front desk is exceptional. He is very kind and goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Breakfast (included) was fresh and delicious ? Highly recommend this place. We found Santa Marta to be hot and busy, but placita vieja was an excellent chill spot tucked from all the craziness but centrally located. 5/5

This was my first time in Santa Marta, on a short business trip, and I was surprised in every way by the hotel, the room, and the staff. The views from the room were breathtaking and I was stunned by the beauty and the upgrade. Too bad was a short stay. I'll be back for sure with the family. Thank you to the super staff and management, which came to meet me in person.

An overall nice place but no hot water

Reviewed By DJC1882

An overall nice hotel with lovely grounds. Disappointed that they did not allow an early checkin despite only half the resort being booked. Food was very good and prices reasonable. No hot water in shower, didnt expect this i must say but guess its the jungle experience. AC was not working but then fixed

Perfect place to relax while in Santa Marta

Reviewed By atN2608KZ

Room was spacy, amenities were simple but effective. It definitely is more of a hostel geared towards a younger crowd who like to have fun.... so don't always expect to it to be quiet. Nevertheless, really well-run place and great location for a Santa Marta stopover especially if you're looking to travel further north to Parque Tayrona, etc. The staff there are well-informed and always helpful. Gabriel, Jesus and Carlos (at the bar) were always approachable and helpful.

I really liked the that the hotel staff was very attentive and took care of all our needs not everyone spoke English but there was always a person on staff that did. The view from our room was spectacular mountain views and could see the water but was not beachfront. They also have a parking garage that had plenty of spaces when I was there. I would recommend this hotel.

Bad

Reviewed By Stefanutz

The fan and the air conditioning (which was not possible to turn off) in my room was extremely loud. Felt like I'm sleeping with a diesel generator next to my head and of course I couldn't sleep all night. Someone in the room told me that he stayed there before and it was the same, so the hostel must be aware of this, yet it continues cashing in on that room. It's like renting a bike knowing that it has a flat tire. Because this the most expensive hostel in town, I find it very upsetting, especially for the night of lost sleep. Also, the room is very dark and the bathroom continuously smells like feces, because of the ventilation shaft.

Lovely hotel in slightly sketchy neighborhood

Reviewed By beldars

The hotel is lovely and the staff was awesome. There are a few pools scattered over the property, so we literally had our own pool for 3 days. Everything we ate was either good or very good, and the ceviche and gazpacho were special. Breakfast was pretty simple but consistently delicious. My only complaint is that the neighborhood was sketchy. Our cabbie told us not to be on the streets after 7:00 pm, and not to walk around with our cell phones. So that’s kinda sucked. All in all, this hotel is a gem.
