Placitas Viejas is a total gem! Stop your search and book directly with the hotel right now. When I first arrived, as a woman traveling solo, I was greeted warmly by Eliana & Mario. Both were very helpful to me during my entire journey. I stayed in the Cafe’ Junior suite. The room was on the third floor. If you are worried about luggage, there is an elevator. Upon arrival, Mario brought me to my room and shortly after delivered a cold drink to me. The breakfast is delicious & I had the option to get a traditional Colombian breakfast, which I did. Fresh fruit & juice served daily with the meal. Courtyard was magical and the pool was an oasis! The staff were all kind and greeted me by name. Plenty of restaurants in the area. The hotel is locked and staffed 24/7 & I felt incredibly safe. I can’t say enough good things about my experience! One tip is that your taxi cannot pull directly up to the hotel and so you will have a short walk to get to the hotel if dropped off by a taxi. Also, there is fun vibrant music that plays in the park until after midnight. I could hear the sounds from the room I was in, but my guess is some of the rooms may be quieter, but by no means a deal breaker, but something to be aware of if noise is a concern to you.

The Presidential Suite was absolutely incredible. We got the whole fourth floor to ourselves, with a giant, partly covered terrace with beautiful views. The tiles on the floor were beautiful, the shower was open air and a rain shower that felt great after a long day. It's close to all sorts of incredible restaurants like Guasimo, Casa Magdalena, and Don Chucho. The service was amazing, kind, and they brought us fruit and drinks randomly throughout our stay. The only thing is that it's next to Parque de los Novios, and we only stayed during the weekdays but I bet the weekend nights are loud late into the night.

Arranged with much taste and pretty from all sides. Warm and friendly service. Good amenities. Nice pool, good breakfast and very spacious rooms with balcony on the pool and the square right at the heart of Santa Marta. I warmly recommend this hotel .

I was surprised how quiet this hotel was considering its location in Plaza de Novios. The building is beautiful, solidly built and room was really nice. High ceiling, huge bed, wonderful shower. The breakfast was just fine, and staff very helpful.

Amazing hotel in the centre of Santa Marta. The square at night is very noisy but we never heard a thing at night. We were situated on the ground floor and as some reviews have said, our window wasn’t real but I guess that helped with the noise. The best bit about the hotel was the staff. We would open our door in the morning and have fresh coffee handed to us before breakfast. Such a nice touch. Breakfast was the best we had in Colombia. Even helped me when I was struggling to book an onward flight as it was in Spanish. Stay here if you come to Santa Marta 😊

Very pleasant stay in a nice hotel boutique. The location is excellent to visit Santa Marta with an excellent fish restaurant just next door.The rooms are simple but comfortable and the staff was very helpful. The rooftop and small pool were delightful. The breakfast was good and tasty.

Absolute disaster from start to finish. I appreciate this hotel has good reviews and this is why we chose to stay there. We checked in and our room was nice with a large balcony so we took the opportunity of having showers and do some clothes washing. Later that evening we were asked to move rooms as they had checked us into the wrong room. With the help and my daughter’s Colombian boyfriend they agreed we should stay. We were woken at 10.30 again demanding we move which we didn’t. Woken again at 11.30 stating they would call the Police if we didn’t move. We reluctantly agreed so packed everything up, got dressed and moved. My wife and I are almost 70 and it was a horrible experience. To cap it all they tried to charge us more at checkout although we had paid the full amount oncheck in

My 3 night experience at this hotel was simply perfect. The entire staff is very welcoming and helpful at all times. The typical colombian breakfast is the best I've tried in the country so far. The pool and steam room are so nice that I spent most of my days relaxing here and had to push myself to experience the rest of Santa Marta. The steam bath surpassed my expectations as it easily compares to a steam room in a european spa hotel.
