The pool on block B was really nice! The location and facilities are really good here. I was supposed to stay 2 nights, ended up staying for 5. Some of the staff were really nice and helpful! It's a nice hostel to chill and relax at the hostel areas too.

It is a big hostel - so people are spread around different areas. Some of the staff were not really happy or helpful. The reception can get crowded and slow especially during check out and check in times.

Room: We had a room in the 3rd floor and it was just a nightmare. The bedsheet was very dirty... But this was just a minor issue compared to the noise. Above the room is the rooftop bar... Right above is a big table with a lot of chairs, so every time Somebody is moving a chair it makes a lot of Noise. Further the music, Even if its good music was very very loud. We had two Nights and Could Not sleep at all (even with earplugs) as the Party and very loud music will Continue till 3am!!! Staff: Overall unfriendly and often Not motivated at all. Women even worse than men! We wanted to book a Transfer to Santa Marta and received two different answers in the evening and the day after...
The Location was Good - close to the City Center.

“Nice but not worth the money”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 3 nights

The rooms themselves were not very well maintained and for the price we paid for a six bed dorm it was not worth the money. We visited our friends hostels in the area which also had a pool etc which were nicer than Selena and far cheaper. The place has a hotel vibe so if you want to meet people I wouldn’t pick here. Also, the staff were quite unhelpful to the point where they told us the wrong information on buses, walking tours and just didn’t seem interested in helping us out!
The common areas are very well maintained and attractive, great rooftop and swimming pool.

I’ve stayed in 3 different dorm rooms here on 3 different occasions. The toilets in the dorm always smell of urine and are dirty. Cleaners come in daily but they only do a very quick clean so stains on the floors and sides etc are still there for weeks. Also I’ve never had a bunk bed with a working light which is a bit annoying when you’re using your phone for light at night.
Great pool and chill area. If you want a day by the pool it’s great

For some ungodly reason, the reception desk was noisy with chatter and music from 6am. Completely ridiculous, glad we're not staying longer (and was a Monday morning!). I understand if fellow guests make noise, and they did, but can't control that. But staff..
