My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location is great, being just a couple of blocks from the main areas and perfect for relaxing after visiting Tayrona. However, the rooms were not ideal, with tiny bathrooms that felt cramped. The service was a bit disappointing, as there seemed to be several issues that went unresolved. Overall, the dining was basic but tasty, and while the price wasn't too high, I expected a bit more for what I paid.

I had a decent stay at the hotel, with clean rooms that had comfy beds and a great location for exploring Santa Marta. The staff were friendly and accommodating, which made up for a few shortcomings. However, the small bathrooms and the edgy vibe in the area at times were a bit unsettling. Overall, I felt it was a little overpriced for what it offered.

The hotel has a great location, perfect for resting after enjoying Tayrona, but it can feel a bit edgy at times. The rooms are small yet comfortable, and the staff is friendly, though their English skills could be better. Dining is basic but tasty, however, the facilities are somewhat limited. Overall, it's decent value for money, but it may not be suitable for everyone due to the safety concerns late at night.

The hotel is situated in a developing area, which has its perks and drawbacks. While the rooms are nice and modern, they were a bit smaller than expected. The staff was friendly and willing to help, but my check-out experience was less than ideal as they wouldn't take care of my luggage. The location is lively, especially at night, but I did feel a bit uneasy with the local activity. Overall, it's decent value for money, but certain aspects could be improved.

I found the hotel to be a good option overall, with a decent location just a short walk from the beach and the historic center. The rooms were a bit small for my taste, especially considering the noise levels both inside and outside, but they were still suitable for a single traveler. Sadly, the service wasn’t the friendliest which could've enhanced my experience. Facilities like breakfast were reasonable but needed improvement.

I stayed at this hotel recently and found it to be conveniently located close to the beach, making it a great spot to unwind after a day at Parque Tayrona. The rooms were a bit small for my taste and the noise from both inside and outside was constant, making it less than ideal for a good night's sleep. On the brighter side, the staff was really friendly and attentive. While the dining options were basic, the food was tasty enough. Overall, I wouldn't say it was a great value for money, but it met my needs for the trip.

I had a pretty good experience at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but quite minimal, which I didn’t mind. The location was great, right next to the nightlife, although I did feel a bit uneasy walking around at night. The service was a mixed bag; while some staff were friendly, others were a bit off-putting. Overall, I think it’s reasonable for the price, especially considering the comfort.
