Top University of Magdalena Hotel Reviews

AC Hotel by Marriott Santa Marta

10/10 Excellent

"Super bel hôtel, bien situé pour profiter de port et du centro. Les espaces communs sont excellents (lobby, piscine) mais la chambre est assez petite avec peu de rangement."

Hilton Garden Inn Santa Marta

10/10 Excellent

"One of the best hotels I have stayed at. Thank you!"

Hotel Boutique Adaz

10/10 Excellent

"Nice"

Hotel San Miguel Imperial

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, in a central location and very walkable. The pool was great for cooling off. Yummy breakfast. Friendly staff, we stored our bags there after we stayed and that was really helpful."

Soy Local Santa Marta

10/10 Excellent

"He estado en varios hoteles a nivel mundial y la atención es muy bien, pero en este hotel que aparte de estar súper bien ubicado, a un par de cuadras del casco histórico, tienen un personal súper increíble enfocados seguramente en el trato al huésped, resuelve casi de manera inmediata todo lo que puedas reportar en tu habitación (pequeñeces) y están pendientes incluso por la noche. El chico Carlos súper atento y un servicio súper 5 estrellas. Felicitaciones, muy buena organización y bien preparados para recibirnos. El área de piscina es muy agradable y son rigurosos con el horario que está habilitado para usarla por lo que no tendrá inconvenientes para tener un descanso prolongado y sin interrupciones. Se me hace tarde volver. Gracias."

HOTEL BOUTIQUE OLAS MARINAS LUXURY

10/10 Excellent

"A very comfortable room (we stayed in one with two queen beds) with a great air conditioner. The location is excellent -- very close to Parque de los Novios, but is on a quieter street that does not have the traffic and noise closer to the park. The room's large-screen TV offers a great selection of cable channels. We were also impressed with the breakfast -- a traditional Colombian meal of eggs, arepa, toast, and natural juice. You should really enjoy your Santa Marta experience if you stay at this hotel!"

Casana Rosa Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Truly enjoyed my stay here! Very welcoming and friendly!"

Viajero Santa Marta Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Viajero Santa Marta is easily the best Viajero in Colombia! I spent about two weeks here on three separate visits, so I know the place quite well. First and most importantly, it's amazing value for money. The quality of the building and the rooms and the facilities is excellent. The rooftop pool and bar are beautiful, and if the hostel is well-booked out, the atmosphere up there is usually great. My only complaint is that the kitchen is too small to accommodate all the guests who want to use it, plus the cleaning staff as well, who also use it. It also lacks some obvious things (like bowls). It could also do with a quiet room for coworking, but the cafe is fairly decent for that (it's just a little loud due to the music). Otherwise, great place!"
