Pros: Great staff and all very helpful! Facilities were clean and very good, laundry service was brilliant and the location was great - close enough to the tourist spots without being expensive. The daily breakfast was also great - would definitely come back here if I ever came back to Santa Marta!

Pros: Stayed 3 times in total, before and after the Lost City trek, and after a few nights in Minca. Very friendly & helpful reception, they will happily give you any advice, book tours, buses etc. Lovely small pool to cool off in hot afternoons. 3 hammocks and few benches in a courtyard to chill out, as well as a PC area and beanbags. Great quick made-to-order breakfast of scrambled egg or cereal, fruit, tea/coffee. Fridge to buy cold water, soft drinks or beer, and a fridge to store your own food, and shared kitchen to use as well. Free filtered drinking water and a laundry service at 9,000 per kilo. Room was nice and spacious and good ac, but the shower was cold, and poor water pressure. But as Santa Marta is so hot, a cold shower was nice and refreshing ! Mini shop opposite, 5mins walk from a big supermarket and 15mins walk to town. Ac took several hrs to cool room but once it was cool, it was lovely. Bit out of the way and a walk into town, but means its quiet at night. Booked our transfer to Minca and Cartagena through reception, and both fine.

Pros:
Cons: Really bad signal, the wifi router was near my door even though it was so weak and intermittent all day and night, I realized 2 hours after my check out that they canceled my reservation even if I paid the amount and they also charged me 3% more because debit card, its is actually the first hostel in my trip in Colombia that charge me the amount that they must to cover. Not good for business this way and little far from city, you need 6000 pesos every time you want to go for foods and come back. The pool is actually too small and no deep at all, so, dont take in consideration they got a "swimming pool". The toilet seat was broken and fall every time you lift it in room 4, breakfast is a sad moment.

Pros: Great location, pool obviously, general atmosphere and the staff were all very excellent and I can overlook the negatives because these were so strong.
Cons: Lack of warm/hot water anywhere. Even though we booked a private room, we had to share a bathroom with the dormitory room, which was often busy, or we had to walk further downstairs past the reception and if that was occupied, walked even further downstairs to the cave bathroom by the pool. The shared bathroom wasn't clear in booking. The cocktails at the bar were a little overpriced for the poor quality of alcohol being used. Wish the breakfast had more gluten free or non-dairy options for those allergic.
Offering private and dormitory rooms in a quiet part of Santa Marta, Calle 11 Hostel Santa Marta features tropical gardens and an outdoor pool. It is 5 km from the Historic Centre. The rooms here feature a private bathroom with a shower and toilet. Some rooms offer balconies overlooking the pool and gardens, and air-conditioning. Guests can cook out using the property’s shared BBQ facilities, while a wide range of restaurants and bars are available within a 10-minute walk. The beach is less than 500 metres from the property. The scenic town of Taganga is a 30-minute drive from Calle 11 Hostel Santa Marta, and guests can reach Simon Bolivar Airport in 10 minutes by car. The property can help guests arrange outings to local sights.

Cons: 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.

Pros:
Cons: Very poor and unfriendly behavior of the owner itself, rest of the staff was nice and friendly. Go somewhere else - Taganga is full of hostels! Walking home alone in the dark to the remote hostel isn’t nice either.

Pros: The staff were amazing. They didn't speak English and my Spanish is rubbish, but they were super accommodating and helped me out with any requests. They supplied breakfast each morning that was utterly delicious. They also provide fresh water which is excellent as the tap water is a no go. The chill out areas were great too as you got to meet other travellers. Overall, my stay here is was brilliant and I was very sad to leave.

Pros: Blown away by this place, for $5 CAD a night we definitely had low expectations. They are currently painting over their main hostel sign/logo so the building entrance will be hard to find, see my picture to help find it!. Here are the things you need to know: 1. Breakfast is complementary and consists of 1 arepa (filled or not), plate of mixed fruit, oatmeal, and a fruit smoothie (yes it is a real smoothie made fresh, not juice from the store) or coffee. See picture. 2. This hostel is shared with the family that owns it. They live in a small bedroom that compromises 5% of the property. They are extremely hardworking, generous, and accommodating. They all speak spanish, Alfie, a volunteer, speaks english, but he may not be around if you're reading this! 3. There are 2 showers that are open to air (see picture) and 1 shower that is private located on the 2nd floor. The open to air showers are wonderful in the Santa Marta heat, but note if you use the shower on the RIGHT, your dorm mates may see your fanny if the wind blows ;) 4. It costs 5000 peso/person to store you luggage there if you are not a guest for an UNLIMITED amount of time. We stored our luggage here for 7 days while driving up to Riohacha. That's a storage fee of 714 pesos/day ($0.27 CAD). Can't believe someone actually complained about that. 5. 5000 pesos/group for the duration of your stay for drinking water (cold!). 6. There are two cats who live there permanently, if you are allergic DO NOT COME! They are the cutest things and will nap on beds if they get a chance lol. See picture. 7. Most taxi drivers will have no idea what Mango Hostel is, nor be able to drive there by looking at your phone map. Best to take down the cross streets. 8. The private rooms are HUGE and well worth the upgrade if you are travelling with a partner that you can share beds with! :P 9.

Pros: Friendly and welcoming staff who invited me on several excursions. (Unfortunately, I was out of money and wasn't able to join most of them, but the invitation was appreciated). The most affordable hostel in Santa Marta!

Cons: Not much. If I had to say anything, it would be that it is super warm in Santa Marta and the room I had didn't have air conditioning, but it did have a fan which was a lifesaver. It was a bit of a walk in town but that meant it was nice and quiet if you wanted to chill.

Cons: 1. It is a 30 minute walk to the downtown core, and 40 minutes to the beach. This is not pleasant in the heat. Expect to pay around 6,000 pesos one way if you want to beat the heat! 2. The lockers have large openings where you can easily fit your whole hand into. So not entirely secure. They also will only fit small locks, no locks with thick bars (combo locks etc...).

Pros: Friendly and welcoming staff who invited me on several excursions. (Unfortunately, I was out of money and wasn't able to join most of them, but the invitation was appreciated). The most affordable hostel in Santa Marta!
Cons: A bit far from the center of town and a little hard to find, but not too bad. A locker or something similar would have been helpful as well, as I had some minor items (change, sunglasses, food) go missing.
