I had an incredible stay at this hotel, and I can't recommend it highly enough! The atmosphere was so friendly and welcoming, and checking in was a breeze. My room was spacious, clean, and one of the best I've ever stayed in. The helpful staff, especially Chucho, made my experience even more enjoyable. However, it's worth noting that you can only drive to within a block of the hotel, which can be a minor inconvenience.

I had an incredible stay at this hotel! The atmosphere is charming and quirky, with a retro decor that adds a unique touch. It's centrally located near a vibrant square with lots of restaurants within walking distance, making it super convenient. The rooftop pool is perfect for chilling out in the mornings and evenings, but be prepared for the midday heat. The only downside is the noise from the square, but being in a busy area also made me feel safer as a solo traveler.

The rooftop pool was a highlight, ideal for relaxing while enjoying live music from nearby establishments. The property is well-renovated and accessible with a good elevator.

I discovered a real gem in the historic center of Santa Marta! The hotel is beautifully designed and offers both comfort and tranquility, which was a pleasant surprise given its central location near Parque de los Novios. The amenities, including the delicious breakfast and rejuvenating swimming pool, were fantastic. However, my experience was marred by some noise from nearby establishments, as well as some challenges with the room assignment.

I had an amazing stay at Placita Vieja, located right on Parque de los Novios, surrounded by vibrant restaurants and shops. The room was clean and spacious, with a big comfortable bed and great air conditioning. The service was top-notch, especially from Jesus, who went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Although the breakfast was delicious, I was hoping for a bit more variety. The rooftop pool was a wonderful place to unwind, but it was sometimes crowded. Overall, this hotel offers fantastic value for money with its prime location and exceptional service.

This hotel truly blew me away with its stunning modern architecture and unbeatable location. It's right on the lively Plaza de los Novios, surrounded by vibrant restaurants and shops, making it super convenient for exploration. The breakfast was always a treat, and the rooftop pool was delightful too. However, the bustling atmosphere can be a bit overwhelming at times, especially if you're looking for peace and quiet.

Rooms
I stayed in a junior suite with a lovely balcony overlooking the pool, and it was both charming and comfortable. The room was equipped with a ceiling fan and air conditioning, which kept it cozy, but be prepared to keep the window closed if noise is an issue. Rating: 9
