The hostel it self is incredible and staff especially were so so nice and welcoming. I took the cheapest room, a dorm of 10. It was a level above any other hostel I’ve been to. Big room, shower and bathroom inside the room! Rare to find

The staff was very rude. They overcharged for the room and then made a big deal about it.

Great Hostel
Friendly staff, clean and comfortable. Lots of activities and helpful front desk staff. We had a private and would definitely suggest paying the extra for superior room because they are in their own little hallway area and much quieter then rest of the hotel/hostel

Viajero Santa Marta es un lugar que lo disfrutas desde que estás entrando, un ambiente que te hace sentir desde el primer momento que estás de vacaciones, te invita a relajarte y disfrutar todo. Ver un atardecer desde el roof es de verdad genial. Las habitaciones son lo suficientemente amplias y con lo necesario. La calle para ingresar y los alrededores no son para nada bonitos, se siente un poco inseguro.

Super hostel.
Wat een heerlijk verblijf. We kregen een upgrade van de kamer, deze was netjes, koel, schoon en een fijne douche en bed. Het is een gezellig hostel en ziet er verzorgd uit. Zeker een aanrader.
