Great hostel to meet people, beds are nice and offer sufficient privacy, late check out time is very convenient, lots of activities offered every day. Location is perfect.

Anna United States of America

I missed my breakfast when they called my name, I was distracted. The staff member gave me their breakfast when none was left, this was very kind as it was my mistake. This gesture was so generous, it made me feel like an important guest. This made me book with Republicá again in Santa Marta

The staff was amazing ! The vibe of the hotel is great. Everyone was super friendly and it was super easy to make friends. There's events every day, so that's really good if you wanna meet people. The beds are great, I thought I was gonna get hot at night reading other people's comments but i was actually cold haha the AC at night is very good. I also liked the pod-style beds because they're dark and you can't hear anything from outside. Breakfast is great.

The facility to include shared rooms, breakfast and it’s location to city center and conveniences. Equally important was the Staff especially Danielle. Very helpful and always with a smile. Same for all staff members as well as they too were responsive.

Miki France

We stayed in the private king room and absolutely loved it. The architecture is beautiful- it was very spacious and allowed us to spread out nicely. The bed was comfy and there was nice space to chill out on the couch and chairs. The location is very centric, the breakfast was perfect, and the night time karaoke made it really fun. I would definitely return if I’m back in Cartagena.

Aliza United States of America

The place was awesome! very bright and colorful, two swimming pools, good food, and really kind staff.
