The Experience

Villana Hostels is located in the heart of the historic center of Santa Marta and is inspired by the stories of the first adventurers who arrived on the Colombian coast.

My experience at the hotel was good. At first I was going to stay for a month and ended up extending another month. I felt very comfortable, at ease; the tasks and hours seemed to be in line with what is offered and what was agreed. The environment is calm where you can rest well; the facilities are comfortable and with everything needed for a good stay. I had a good relationship with the workers and the team; everyone is very nice. Without a doubt I would return. Grateful to the hotel 🙌

Excellent stay in the heart of the historic center of Santa Marta, you're close to everything, the rooms are well equipped and the tasks well distributed. The breakfast is great and there is a very large kitchen. Laura is an excellent host!

Staying at the hotel Hostel was very good. It was a volunteering arrangement where schedules and days off are respected. Not only are they respected, but the volunteering hours are in line with the number of days off. Its location is very good, since it is in the city center. Thank you, the hotel Hostel, for having me.
