“Friendly, beautiful and clean hostel”
The staff and owners are incredibly friendly and helpful and made our stay the best. Their cute and well-behaved animals were a big plus! The hostel is clean, the beds comfortable and the aircon great (and necessary). Delicious breakfast. Good wifi! Located in a calmer part of Santa Marta with fewer restaurants, although close to the beach. A bit noisy during the evenings due to the traffic outside. Ideal for people traveling in groups or in pairs.

“Stay here please! :)”
The host were amazing. She runs the hostel herself with some other amazing emploies. There are dogs and cats there and it has an amazing atmosphere. It felt like a home away from home. The breakfast was also good.

“Loved it”
The property was new and nicely decorated. The outdoor patio/bar was really nice. The hosts, Pilar and Jorge treated us like family and it was a very nice environment to relax. The beach was very close and so were some restaurants and grocery stores. Large, comfy bed in the room with air conditioning, as well as a balcony.

The heartwarming welcome that the entire team gave to my partner and me. This attitude continued during our entire stay and I can't stress enough how much we appreciated their genuine interest and care for our wellbeing and for providing us with a truly unforgettable stay. Diana and her colleagues are incredible people and I sincerely hope that we will have the opportunity to visit their extraordinary hotel again one day. The place is an oasis of hospitality, our room was spacious, impeccably clean and comfortable with a great private shower and an incredible bed. The food that the restaurant offers is very tasty and carefully prepared. I loved every single second of our 3 days stay!

“A great option if you want to stay in the more calmer side of SM (with a nicer beach)”
- Diana was a fantastic host, really helpful with all our needs and friendly - The breakfast was delicious. On one day, we had to leave before breakfast time and they even offered to make us something for take away - Our room was quiet, clean and rather minimalistic (but had everything you need, except for a trash bin)
