A beautiful, colorful hostel with a nice café, lovly little rooms and good breakfast. Coffee-flatrate all day, 2 computers to use - most of the stuff was very friendly. The english owner is a quiet nice person, gives the hostel a good admosphere. We could leave our baggages there for 2 days - we didn't had any problems....

Aluna Casa y Cafe is located an easy walk away from the Waterfront , Restaurants, & Buses. 2 blocks away is Exito Super Mercado. A few blocks north will get you to corner store to enjoy a Cold Beer & bakery items & such-near to the Small Futbal field & Cemetery area. Good Dorm rooms Big Lockers A restaurant within the premises.& good coffee available all day for free on the second floor. English - speaking Jamie was extremely helpful for area information & Tyrona Park & bus times & routes.

Nice boutique hostel with good breakfast and coffee. A bit expensive by hostel standards, and I was surprised upon check-out to learn they don't accept credit cards. This should have been made clear from the start considering it has a restaurant and isn't the cheapest place. It's nice though.

We stayed for many nights and were very satisfied with our room on the ground floor and everything the hostel offers (fridge, kitchen, TV, terrace, laptop with Internet...). The staff is very friendly and helpful and the rooms with fan offer very good value for money. It clearly not a party hostel and we've met some nice people there.

This was a good central place to stay. Walking distance to sights & amenities. Staff were very helpful. Breakfast is not included but they have a cafe in the place so you could buy breaky or lunch and add it to your bill. Kitchen was basic but it had views over Santa Marta. Wifi didn't work in the room (We were on the fround floor). Overall very nice and I would definitely stay again.

Owner Comment (Show)
Thank you for your comments. We regularly check the condition of our beds, mattresses, sheets, pillows and towels and we understand something may have been overlooked for your visit and we have rectified our approach to this procedure. On your other comment that we have no air-conditioning at all, we do indeed have air-con in all our second floor rooms should a customer request it. Regards Jim @ Aluna

Great location in Santa Marta close to a large supermarket, close to the beach, close to public transport.
