Absolute disaster from start to finish. I appreciate this hotel has good reviews and this is why we chose to stay there. We checked in and our room was nice with a large balcony so we took the opportunity of having showers and do some clothes washing. Later that evening we were asked to move rooms as they had checked us into the wrong room. With the help and my daughter’s Colombian boyfriend they agreed we should stay. We were woken at 10.30 again demanding we move which we didn’t. Woken again at 11.30 stating they would call the Police if we didn’t move. We reluctantly agreed so packed everything up, got dressed and moved. My wife and I are almost 70 and it was a horrible experience. To cap it all they tried to charge us more at checkout although we had paid the full amount oncheck in

My 3 night experience at this hotel was simply perfect. The entire staff is very welcoming and helpful at all times. The typical colombian breakfast is the best I've tried in the country so far. The pool and steam room are so nice that I spent most of my days relaxing here and had to push myself to experience the rest of Santa Marta. The steam bath surpassed my expectations as it easily compares to a steam room in a european spa hotel.

NOT RECOMMENDED! The hotel is located in one of the noisiest areas of the city. The music from the many bars nearby is incredibly loud. Stay away from this place if you are looking for some quiet days in Santa Marta.

During our trip to Colombia this was the best hospitality we received. Very helpful and accommodating. We met the hotel owners daughter she was always there to help, they helped us with a trip to Tyrona and our next transfer to Minca. Everybody on the staff were always looking to help us. It is located in the center, accesssible to major locations and a bunch of restaurants at night. The interior of the hotel is beautiful and has a pool on top. City center is full of life at night so will be noisy but we couldn’t hear a thing at night. Highly recommend this place if you are in Santa Marta.

The room was too small like a closet and there was no real window, the window was opening to a solid wall. Adjacent restaurant/ bar shares a wall with the hotel rooms, they were playing loud music till 1:00 am. I don’t recommend staying here, the hotel is located on a dirty chaotic street. if you have to stay in Santa Marta, try to get a hotel with ocean view and stay away from the city centre since it’s a dirty ugly city without any charm. Trust me you won’t miss anything by bypassing Santa Marta city centre. I arrived at 3 pm, after they charged my credit card then they told me the room wasn’t ready. It was an extremely hot day, I had to go sit in a cafe waited till 6 pm. Even at 6 pm they told me the room still wasn’t ready because the lock was broken. Then they gave me another room that someone recently smoked in it. I showed them my reservation that was for a non-smoking room, but they insisted that it was my imagination and forced me to get the smoking room.

Great time at Placita Vieja Hotel Boutique and Spa. Me my wife and daughters treated ourselves to spa day at Placita Vieja. The hotel is charismatic, modern and historic to the Santa Marta area. We enjoyed body massage, pool with whirlpool beds, steam room and sun deck. The staff was great with all drink requests. The hotel is right in the heart of the center of Santa Marta with excellent dining options and night entertainment. Overall a great spa day, highly recommend and will definitely return.

We had an incredible experience at the hotel, all the staff are very kind and helpful and would make the best breakfasts we have had in Colombia. The location is exceptional, highly recommend.

We stayed here twice, for one night each before and after our trek to Ciudad Perdida, and found this the perfect base to stay in and explore the lovely historic centre of Santa Marta. The hotel is on a pedestrian zone on the main square of the town, away from traffic noise and surrounded by great restaurants and cafes. We felt very safe as only hotel guests are admitted to the building. The host at reception, Jesus, is an absolute gem and greeted us with a warm smile and was keen throughout our stays to assist. The large double room at our first and junior suite at our second stay were both very spacious with great views and all the amenities, A/C, fan and high quality bathroom products (Occitane). A very good plated breakfast was included with multiple refills of coffee. We can only recommend the place and hope to return one day.

We stayed at the Placita Vieja Hotel for six nights and enjoyed both the hotel and Santa Marta. What did we like about PVH? 1. Location: in the heart of the entertainment district and two blocks from the Malecón de Bastidas. Plenty of solid dining options nearby--we heartily recommend Donde Chucho Gourmet, Restaurante LaMart, and Ouzo--and more bars than I could count. It was a short walk to a number of attractions. 2. The staff is friendly and with a boost Google Translate, helpful. We loved the woman who cooked our breakfasts and tidied our room. It's my habit to tip housekeepers on a daily basis; I was happy to so at PVH. 3. Speaking of breakfasts--they're very good. Wonderful fruit to start, as much coffee as we could drink, eggs to order and some Colombian specialties: arepas with eggs and cayeye. 4.. Our room--a "junior suite"--was comfortable with a fine air conditioner, ceiling fan and balcony. We could barely hear the noise from the plaza on which the hotel sits. That said, PVH isn't a luxury hotel as I would define one. 5.. We arrived by rental car from Cartagena on a Saturday night--not something I would do again--and were able to find a secured lot within a couple of blocks of PVH. 6.. I was mildly annoyed with paying 50,000 COP to replace a plastic key card, the same card a four or five star property would replace without charging. That said, it was only ten bucks.
