Masaya is a great place! the rooms are confortable, it has 2 pools and a great bar! The breakfast is fresh and balanced, as well the location is very convinient, in the same block of "La brisa loca" perfect for some dancing and drinks and very close to the restaurants zone. The hostal has activities everyday to get guest to meet and share. Love it all! i will definitely come back!

Clean, nice staff, rooftop pool and bar with happy hour. Great breakfast and helpful staff!

Robyn

The staff is great, always nice and helping in everything they can. Swimming pools (two!) are fantastic, the atmosphere and decoration at every corner is nice... only good words! Also, you can leave your luggage there for free even for a few days in a room that looks so secure, with your info in a label. Really important if you wanna make some trip with just a small backpack!!!

The bar/restaurante just had one o two meals to cook in a menu of 30 different meals if you want order lunch or dinner. The breakfast was very poor. the swwiming pool in the terrace is small like a hot tap or bath tap. In the private rooms, the bathroom is too small, I wen out of it after shower because I couldn't move with the towel. My friends booked private room for three, and one bed is next to the ceiling, like three metres high, I think that is so sodangerous, they should say it in the add of the bedroom.
Nice location in Santa Marta, just fw minutes walking till old town where is plenty of sohps and restaurants. The bedroom is cute and the bed quite big, I like that. Staff in the reception so nice and friendly. They did Dance sesion on the terrace where, and it was so funny and cool

I was a bit cold at night as I was under the AC. On my first night a staff member was sitting in the lounge area talking right outside my room until 3:30 am quite loudly. I got the impression from the bartender that he didn’t like foreigners because any that came up were treated with indifference. He was not friendly
The property is beautiful and just as the pictures. Beds and washroom were clean. Breakfast was good but definitely book it with your room or it is quite expensive. Great coffee! Most of the staff were really nice The location was the best. Right between the restaurant/club area and the market where the buses are. I felt very safe at night even by myself

Big fans of upselling which can be annoying when you just want some general advice eg re onward travel. Seem to have collaborations with several companies in area. Music is very loud until around 11 (wouldn’t want to be in room on 1st floor).
Lovely chilled out vibe. Pool is great for relaxing following lost city trek. Close to main square for restaurants.

Nice hostel in the historic centerof Santa Marta.There are many restaurants nearby. The swimmingpool area is cool, and the rooftop terrace also. Staff at the reception were nice and the room was very clean. Enjoy the sunset at the rooftop, the colors are simply beautiful.

The staff was, warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and kind!!!! It far exceeded my expectation. The bed was most cozy and the drapes around the bed gave me great privacy. Loved the breakfast! The inn keeper would break out into song all around the hostel. She has a great voice. Great murals, patio, & Lots of warm fuzzies!!!!! Thank you for a great stay.
