Heerlijk geslapen in het comfortabele bed met fijn matras. Goed ontbijt. Lekker relaxen bij het zwembad op het dak. Goede airco en dicht bij restaurants en barretjes.

Las noches los fines de semana puede ser bastante ruidoso.
O hotel está extremamente bem localizado, no centro histórico da cidade e a poucos passos dos bares e restaurantes. A facilidade do acesso é um ponto importantíssimo! O café da manhã é simples, mas gostoso, havendo a disponibilidade interessante de frutas. Não é buffet. Como o hotel não é muito grande, isso justificou a não decretação do buffet. Você precisa solicitar o que gostaria de comer, dentro da disponibilidade. A decoração do Placita Vieja Hotel Boutique é linda e a piscina é muito gostosa! Os funcionários foram usualmente simpáticos, educados, se empenhando para realizar um bom atendimento. Gostei bastante!
O Ar-condicionado não tem a potência necessária para climatizar o quarto, o que é amparado pelo ventilador de teto.
El personal, la atención, la ubicación , las instalciones todo, es un hotel con un encanto especial
Nada
The nicest staff for sure. Everyone was so nice and helpful.
El personal es encantador, el desayuno riquísimo y la piscina spa es brutal.
La ubicación es excelente, pero hay mucho ruido de la calle, ya que es una zona céntrica con mucha fiesta nocturna. A este ruido, se suma el ruido del ventilador, necesario para dormir. Las habitaciones disponen de aire acondicionado pero hacía demasiado frío, lo que hace que la temperatura sea demasiado baja. La habitación no tenía secador. Además, la ventana daba a un muto a un palmo de distancia.
Die Lage ist sehr zentral am Parque de los Novios mit vielen Bars und Restaurants; aber auch laut, besonders abends. Schönes grosses helles Zimmer. Klimaanlage auch bei Stromausfall. Für ein Altstadthotel relativ grosser gepflegter Pool auf dem Dach. Personal freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sehr sauber. Geschmackvolle Einrichtung (Boutiquestil). Frühstück besteht generell aus Obst und Eiern mit Toast oder Arepa, Kaffee, frisch gepresster Saft. Keine Bar aber Getränke werden gebracht, auch an den Pool
Bei der Bezahlung mit CC ist man gezwungen in EUR umzurechnen zu einem sehr schlechten Kurs; eine Zahlung in COP ist nicht möglich.
excelente ubicación
El hotel es muy lindo. La habitación estuvo muy cómoda, limpia y con todo lo necesario. La atención del personal fue excepcional. Todos muy amables y siempre con una sonrisa y prestos a ayudarnos. Disfrutamos muchísimo el baño turco y la piscina. La ubicación en pleno centro histórico hizo mucho más fácil nuestros desplazamientos y oportunidades de probar la gran gastronomía de la ciudad y lugares turísticos.
Como sugerencia esperamos que las adecuaciones del bar y el spa puedan finalizar pronto para poder disfrutar de un buen cóctel en la piscina y un masaje relajante ☺️
Ein kleines schnuckeliges Hotel direkt neben dem Parque de los novios. Das Haus ist nicht mehr neu und hie und da wäre Etwas Pflege nötig. Trotzdem hat der Stil seinen Reiz und man fühlt sich wohl. Mein Zimmer im vierten Stock war sehr gross. Hatte neben einem schönen Badezimmer mit Dusche unter freiem Himmel zusätzlich noch Dampfsauna. Der Aussenbereich war riesig und hatte neben Sitzgelegenheiten auch noch 2 Liegestühle mit Polster. Senor Mario und sein Team sind sehr freundlich und gesprächig. Das Frühstück wurde nach meinen Wünschen jeden Morgen frisch zubereitet. Die Lage direkt neben dem Park bedingt eine gewisse Resistenz gegen Lärm wobei bei geschlossener Türe es durchaus auszuhalten war. Die Lage direkt neben Park hat den grossen Vorteil das man 20m rechts und links gleich ein Restaurant und fussläufig noch dutzend andere erreichbar sind. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten ebenfalls. Die Klimaanlage macht die Hitze sehr erträglich. Fernseher und Radio runden das ganze ab. Ich hatte eine wunderbare Zeit in diesem Hotel.
Es gibt nicht gross etwas zu bemängeln.
Una casona colonial muy linda y acogedora. El área de la piscina y el baño turco excepcionales. El personal siempre atento a tus necesidades. El desayuno bueno y variada.
En general todo bien en relación a la antigüedad de la propiedad están renovando y cambiando detalles.
grosses Zimmer im 3. Stock
schlechtes Frühstück
Bon rapport qualité prix
Nous avons été déçus, car nous avons trouvé que les commentaires et les notes étaient vraiment surcotés pour cet hôtel. L’hôtel est certes en centre-ville, mais cela implique aussi tous les désagréments qui vont avec : beaucoup de bruit jusqu’à 2h du matin. De plus, le matelas n’était pas très confortable.
La localización, la elegancia de las instalaciones, la limpieza y el.desayuno
El personal era desagradable y no ayudaba al cliente. Ni siquiera nos encendendieron el jacussi
I liked the pool and the man who managed it. He was very nice & very helpful!
When we got here, we had to wait till 3PM even though the hotel was very empty. Then when we got in the room, there was no toilet paper and the AC was not working & it honestly was not really like the pictures. Don’t expect a window. When asking for another room it took some time but eventually we got a new one where luckily the AC worked. The pigeons that kept trying to get into the pool. Very unhygienic. The breakfast was not that great, limited. The sound at night was quite loud since it’s besides the park, they do provide earplugs however. The receptionist also wasn’t very helpful.
La ubicación, la atención de Mario, la cama cómoda
We had an amazing stay at Placita Vieja. It is located in the parque de los Novios, close to all the major tourist attractions in Santa Marta. The breakfast was amazing, the staff was friendly and extremely helpful with any request we had. The pool is small but great as well and the room was amazing.
It's not the hotel fault but sleeping well and deeply is extremely difficult given its location and the noise of the main square. Luckily, the hotel staff provides ear buds to help you sleep
El hotel está muy céntrico y bien situado. Las habitaciones son amplias, comodas y limpias
Muy ruidoso!! El volumen de la música en los locales de la plaza era elevadisismo (tanto que en la mesilla de noche ya te dejan tapones para los oidos). Una de las habitaciones no tenia ventana (bueno, tenia pero daba a una pared). Solicitamos un cambio de habitación y tuvimos que pagar un extra. El hotel es correcto, pero creo que no se corresponde con un 5*
Le petit déjeuner était délicieux et complet. Nous avons apprécié notre grand balcon et la piscine. La chambre était magnifique. L'hôtel est très bien situé dans le vieux Santa Marta près de tout et le personnel est très gentil.
C'était la semaine sainte et il y avait beaucoup de bruit et de musique jusqu'aux petites heures du matin. Heureusement ils nous ont fourni des bouchons. Notre matelas était trop mou.
Todo, una monada y el baño en la piscina muy refrescante. El personal súper amable
La habitación era un poco oscura xq daba a un patio pero realmente la usamos xa dormir y nada más
Ubicacion excelente Hotel colonial muy bonito Habitacion amplia y comoda Personal muy amable
La ubicación es inmejorable, está literalmente en el parque de los novios donde se concentra todo el comercio y vida nocturna del centro histórico pero a su vez está a una distancia prudente para que se pueda dormir tranquilamente.
Falta un poco de mantenimiento sobre todo en el área de la terraza y piscina pero nada grave, son solo detalles.
Hotel con mucho encanto. Habitacion amplia y comoda. Excelente ubicacion. Personal muy amable
Good location and nice room and breakfast tasty
Shower was a bit dated and grubby
Preciosas habitaciones muy bien ubicado y un personal sumamente atento excelente hospedaje muy recomendable
Todo me gustó
A qualidade, a tranquilidade e a atenção dos funcionários.
O pequeno almoço era delicioso mas podia ter mais opções. Podia ter mais produtos de higiene de oferta.

Tolle Lage, gute Ausstattung, schöner Pool, serviertes Frühstück
Das Bett war zwar groß, aber viel zu weich
It’s a lovely old property with tiled floors and an open inner courtyard. We had the top floor suite which had a large patio overlooking city and with glimpse of the ocean. It made for beautiful sunsets. The bed was comfortable. The large bathroom with open air shower and sauna were amazing. Yes! Hot water but not needed with the temperature outside. The pool was smallish but comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful. Hotel is in a very lively part of town so bring earplugs and eye masks even though hotel is fairly sound proof. Music stays on till wee hours.
No coffee maker in room.
Localização e beleza do lugar
O chuveiro não esquenta . Mas aí não sei se é um problema do hotel ou da cidade mesmo
Great staff! Nice breakfast, beautiful property, great location in the plaza.
Prima ontbijt; perfecte locatie: gelegen op het mooiste plein vd stad. 3 minuten lopen naar het strand en in het hart vh bruisende centrum. Fantastisch zwembad/chill-plek: ik heb daar heerlijk koel, liggend in het zwembad in mijn boek liggen lezen.
Dit is geen minpunt, maar afhankelijk van smaak: sommige kamers hebben een douche die 'midden in' de kamer staat en dus misschien minder geschikt is voor mensen die van privacy houden. Let wel: je bent alleen 'zichtbaar' voor je 'kamergenoot'. Als je heel gevoelig bent voor geluid van buiten en vroeg gaat slapen, kun je misschien last hebben van het bruisende nachtleven op het plein. Wij vonden het juist bijdragen aan de ervaring.
I loved its location, the sauna and its delicious scent, that welcoming drink, but most of all I loved the staff - all six of them that I interacted with and it was my honor to tip them all.🥰
L’emplacement la gentillesse du personnel Le cadre l’hôtel est très beau la piscine spa très agréable Le restaurant à côté est délicieux
Rien
Muy chic, limpio, servicio ameno, céntrico.
Sehr sauber
Es ist direkt an einem Platz, wo schöne Musik gespielt wird, allerdings jede Nacht bis um 3. Es ist also eine tolle Atmosphäre, allerdings sollte man mit Ohrstöpsel schlafen können. Mit Ohrstöpsel ist es dann aber super leise.

El hotel ofrece detalles que hace una perfecta estancia: -Camas adaptables -Colchones ortopédicos -La decoración de las habitaciones dan sensación de historia y cultura. -Excelente amplitud con techos muy altos. Durante La estancia dentro del hotel se descubre detalles que hacen sonreír.
No tener más tiempo disponible para disfrutar mas de esa maravillosa casa.
Very good location. Good breakfast.
Our room only had a window very close to a wall so was like an interior room, with no daylight. The mattress was too soft. They have a very aggressive non smoking policy. Even in the terrace (which is outdoors) you cannot smoke. You need to step outside the hotel every time and always ring the door to come back in, not very practical and a bit exaggerated.
Demasiado ruido. El hotel está en un area donde at musica hasta las 4am. Es imposible dormir
L’ emplacement et le style du bâtiment ses couleurs sa piscine et la gentillesse du personnel un Hotel avec du charme mais un peu défraîchii
Le petit déjeuner très simple et pas varié ( et encore + basique le dimanche ) Le choix restreint des chambres alors que l hôtel semble vide … chambre « le vieil homme et la mer » avec vue piscine magnifique mais celle du rez sans fenêtre à éviter
Hotel muy bien ubicado en el centro de Santa Marta!! Muy limpio. Habitacion amplia y comoda!! Tienen zona de spa con piscina en el 2° piso y es un lujo poder sofocar el calor cuando llegas de pasear!! A pesar de estar en el Parque de los Novios que es ruidoso por las noches, no escuchamos nada y descansamos muy bien.
Nada!
Nice location in the center of Santa Marta, with good airconditioning and a rooftop pool. Nice staff as well, who make you fresh breakfast.
Nothing I can think of.
La tranquilidad, el servicio y atención personalizada

Breakfast was very simple and nice but the same each day. Location was great; this is really the only thing the hotel has going for it. I'm sure this hotel was very nice back in the day but it's not been maintained.
The bedroom had absolutely no view: the window was boarded up in the bedroom. The bathroom has a window that is open to the roof of the next building (where a cat watched us shower) and there was a small door at the top of the closet where another room must have access to the room. The facilities look worn but the employees try their best to maintain it. You can tell the owner doesn't want to put any money into the hotel which is wild since the cost of the rooms is astronomical for Colombia. The music from the clubs next door go all night into the morning and sounds like it's in the room with you. We ended up leaving our hotel (and losing the money) to go stay in another hotel - we have never done that before! A small complaint: the website states that they have l'occitane shower products but they actually have generic mini bottles.
Clean and very friendly staff
Nothing
Excellent staff, very responsive and attentive
Air con wasn't as straightforward to work out as expected. There were zero WiFi instructions toi sign in or any other instruction, but it did have an A4 page on sustainability ...
Atención del personal, desde las personas de mantenimiento hasta las chicas de recepción. Ubicación perfecta, instalaciones espectaculares y los desayunos impresionantes, muy recomendable
No podemos tener queja de nada
Location and friendly staff, they helped a lot at many problems we had.
The hotel has rooms with NO windows at the simple rooms although the photos, shows windows. I asked for free upgrade but they didn't do it. Instead I had to pay 60 euros more for 3 days for my staying. In addition I had to ask for towels, toiletries all the time. Expensive.
Hôtel très confortable, plein de charme et bien situé. Le personnel a été absolument adorable.
I highly recommend this hotel Amazing service . All with smile woth exceptional attitude . Great breakfast and incredible location I will return to thos hotel over and over again
Nothing
Everyone who works at the hotel are just wonderful, very kind, attentive, always with a smile and ready to help. Location is great. The pool is great as well as the spa services.
I liked it all
Great place for the price ..
Very central, friendly at reception, comfortable room, nice breakfast, pool area
A little noisy due to location, not many sun beds round the pool, pool area needs some upkeep
The staff organized a facial for me, thank you.
The hotel is very loud at night. We managed it for 1 night and checked out early.
Fantastic location next to a square with amazing restaurants and shopping. Bed was super comfy and room was stylish and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent. Will stay here again soon!
Great service and very nice boutique
Location, staff, pool area
Air con blowing directly on bed, breakfast quite simple, there is a lot of noise coming from parque de los novios so ear plugs required.
Great!!!
We liked the size of the room, the staff are kind, helpful, and courteous, the pool and sauna are very pleasant, and the room is quiet despite being in the central area of the historic district with many restaurants and bars nearby.
The room we stayed in has no view. The breakfast is reasonable.
Loved the comforts, the location, the staff, the pool and the room. The staff went out of their way to help. When I had trouble re loading my SIM card, the young man (don’t know his name) went out of his way above and beyond to help me solve the problem.
The only thing I didn’t like was the noise at night.
Great staff. Great location!!! Will stay there again.
The staff are incredibly kind and very helpful
Great service and breakfast
A little loud at night
Super friendly staff and owner. The owner helped us organize a boat trip to a secluded beach and even drove us to the port. Overall, the customer service was simply outstanding: We were brought food and cocktails to the pool, had huge customized breakfasts and a lot of personal attention during our stay. The rooms are tastefully decorated. The rooftop swimming pool (with a Turkish steam bath) can rival those of 5 star hotels. Location: in the heart of the old city.
Beautiful hotel and staff were all fantastic. Lovely breakfast facilities pool. Everyone smiling
Can be a bit noisy but they warn you and just wear ear plugs
In the center of it all, clean, spacious, lovely swimming pool upstairs, friendly staff
Rooms downstairs do not have a view (windows face a wall) which can be a plus as it shelters you from the noise of the partying nearby.
