Viajero Santa Marta is easily the best Viajero in Colombia! I spent about two weeks here on three separate visits, so I know the place quite well. First and most importantly, it's amazing value for money. The quality of the building and the rooms and the facilities is excellent. The rooftop pool and bar are beautiful, and if the hostel is well-booked out, the atmosphere up there is usually great. My only complaint is that the kitchen is too small to accommodate all the guests who want to use it, plus the cleaning staff as well, who also use it. It also lacks some obvious things (like bowls). It could also do with a quiet room for coworking, but the cafe is fairly decent for that (it's just a little loud due to the music). Otherwise, great place!

Female solo traveler review 🏖️👙🌞 Viajero hostels are usually very consistent in terms of cleanliness, amenities, and having good on-site restaurants, and this one was no exception. I really liked the decor, the staff were friendly, and the wristbands for accessing the rooms were a very convenient touch. They also organize daily activities, which is great for meeting people. As for areas of improvement, the check-in process can take quite a long time, I experienced a significant wait with a long line. Laundry service was also slower than expected, as my clothes weren’t ready at the promised time. It can get a bit noisy if you plan to work from the restaurant or reception area, as the background music is quite loud. Additionally, the area outside the hostel felt somewhat sketchy at times, and I did feel a bit unsafe. Other than that, it’s a very well-maintained hostel overall and a solid option if you’re looking for a reliable stay.

Best hostel experience ever. The community, the vibe, the staff, experiences really just all of it. From the front desk, maids, hostess and bartenders everyone was awesome! Tatiana gira above and beyond for the experiences and is awesome to hang out with. Then Sharon at the bar up top is the best bartender you can get. Try this place out and you’ll only want Viajeros!

El lugar no esta mal, por ser un cuarto compartido pues no esta tan limpio. En la cocina compartida se comieron algo mio. No importa al final. Cuando llegue al lugar no fue tan grato la interaccion con el resepcionista. El chico me pidio mis documentos y le di mi pasaporte, me paso un papel para que firmara acerca de los datos personales. Le dije que no lo firmaria y el me respondió de una forma agresiva " Pues si no quieres firmar, no te puedes quedar aqui. Cancela tu reservacion en la plataforma de Expedia" le comente que eso debe ser opcional no como el dise, y el de mala gana respondio y yo viajando desde lejos y para ese recibimiento pues no es justo. Al final no firme y tampoco cancele. Para ser recepcionista ese chico tiene muy mala actitud y no tiene nada de carisma. En fin, no creo que sea necesario firmar algo que no quiero. Para mi en su respuesta fue como decir que no nesecitan a un tipo de cliente que no hace lo que el quiere. Creó que se le olvida que por los clientes tenemos trabajo y por ellos vestimos y comemos. Tambien trabajo con clientes todo el tiempo y por eso valoro el trabajo de todos pero ese niño se le olvida el motivo para quien el trabaja. Los clientes en un hospedaje lo son todo.
