Nice clean room with ensuite, but breakfast situation was unclear. Rooftop arrangement was very messy and needs some maintenance.

Baño sucio
El baño estaba muy sucio y se notaba que no le hacen aseo. Las paredes del dormitorio capsula estaban sucias con zancudos espichados y un poco sucias
I really enjoyed staying at this hostel. The dorms have curtains in front of each bed and a/c. Breakfast is included and it’s delicious. The wifi is fast, even in the rooms, there’s a guest kitchen and a swimmingpool. What I liked mostly about this place is the staff, they were all absolutely superhelpful, always smiling and I just enjoyed sitting in the reception talking with them. I would definitively stay again.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: I wanted to stay in Rodadero for the night, that’s why I picked this hostel. On the map on hotels.com it’s marked to be in Rodadero, but it’s not there. I learned the hard way. The hostel is in a good location close to the beach in Santa Marta.
