FAQ about hostels in Santa Marta
Hostels that guests love in Santa Marta
- Avg. price/night: 268.97 zł9.2Scored 9.2SuperbRated superb· 2,932 reviewsReception staff is wonderful. However the team running the bars and restaurants are pretty standoffish. They’re more interested in chatting to each other than noticing your third attempt at getting their attention. Location is good and close to walled city, though can seem a bit unsafe at night. Other major hostel chains are in better locations.MishaYoung couple
- Avg. price/night: 90.87 zł8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 713 reviewsGreat location close to the entry of Tayrona National Park. The natural springs pool (and the natural beauty of the hostel) were the highlights of my stay. Relaxing in the pool watching hummingbirds and seeing a family of monkeys the afternoon I arrived were a couple of my top memories. The older lady (owner's mom, I believe) and front desk woman were very friendly and helpful. Very quiet room and quality sleep. Happy to have been able to leave a piece of luggage there for a couple of days without additional cost.
