Well located hostel in Santa Marta. Was being refurbished while I was there, some things didn't work and pool had been drained. I see the potential in the place but they should have closed while they completed the works. YMMV, they will probably have finished by now.

Nice place, it’s an ancient pirate house with a jacuzzi in the middle. The rooms are huge and I think is a reasonable price. Plus the staff is very funny and always helpful
