Located in the centre of Santa Marta, 600 metres from Bahía de Santa Marta Beach and 200 metres from Santa Marta Cathedral, Hostel paradise St offers free WiFi and air conditioning. This guest house is 5.1 km from Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino and 7.1 km from Rodadero Sea Aquarium and Museum. The property is set in the Centro Historico district.

What a great place! Ideal location- step out the door into the pedestrian zone. I stayed in a large, private room with 2 King beds, with bathroom and A/C. Bed very comfy. Very clean! A large bathroom sink; I appreciated having a fridge...all the coffee I could drink, and hot water for tea (at the reception). The room was very quiet overall - I did not need earplugs! (there will always be a certain level of noise anywhere you stay in Latin/South America in my experience). The receptionist was always "a pendiente". Highly recommend!

We stayed in a beautiful cabin, with lots of space, a fan, and a good mosquito net. The owners are extremely sweet. The owners wife went out to buy food to cook for us in the evening, and the included breakfast was great. The cabins are just a 10 minute walk from the Tayrona park main entrance. It was a great place to rest after two days in the park.

    Victor is a very friendly host and really takes his time for his guests. The streets around are really quiet which is a big plus in Santa Marta. The breakfast is delicious and cheap, they have washing services which are also fast and cheap. It is not a not a big hostel with a lot of partying guests. Airconditioning works good and there is semi-warm water in the shower which is also a big plus im Santa Marta. The WIFI works constantly and is good enough to do video calls on.

    Really nice hostel - great location, really nice brekkie and good facilities in our room (aircon, comfy bed, nice bathroom and shower, netflix etc). The room was pitch black/pretty quiet when we wanted to sleep and we had a nice door/window/balcony thing that we could open up to the street below
