Great hotel to stay at in santa marta 100m from the sea front. Close to all the bars and restaurants and exito supermarket about 300m up the road. Rooms are basic but clean were good enough for us as we only needed somewhere to put our heads down and have a shower ! Amazing value for money at this hotel . Staff on reception were amazing so helpful and friendly nothing was too much trouble! Thanks jeff , Geraldine and kelli ! Definitely worth a visit and a stay if thinking of visiting santa marta which is a cool place very chill compared to the bigger cities we visited! Many thanks to the team at hotel Puerto pelicano !

It's ok

Bed was a good size for double, one hard pillow and one very soft pillow could do with review. Aircon cold, next to no hot water. Bathroom had mould in shower. I recommend a chair and bin be input into the large room (plenty of space for bags) outside of the bin in the bathroom. Door lock was push button lock. We were on the ground floor and had little protection from noise and light via the one window. Ok for price but should be a wee bit cheaper in my opinion. Breakfast was ok, rooftop hammocks were nice.

This is a three star hotel, not four and a half! It’s a quaint boutique hotel with small rooms and not luxurious in the least. The staff is fantastic, the pool is nice and the breakfast and coffee were good. The water temperature in the shower is lukewarm, definitely not hot. We had two maintenance issues with clogged drains in the shower and bathroom sink and they were fixed promptly. Make sure you bring your own shampoo, etc because none is provided. The location of the hotel is excellent and it’s an interesting old building.

Great Place, Great Staff, Great Location!

Great place with very friendly, professional, and attentive staff. Felt comfortable before I even walked in the door as the lobby view from the street is pleasant and open. Breakfast and coffee were delicious and made to order. Has a bit of the social feel of a hostel while retaining the service, privacy, and convenience of a hotel. It was also right next to the best restaurants in the city and the beach. Would definitely stay again.

If you are looking for a great stay look no further then the Orange House Hotel. Mario and Jefferson are usually the guys that welcome you and these guys optimize what customer service is all about. These guys and all the staff go out of the way and make it a mission to make sure you have a great stay. The Orange House is centrally located and the premises are beautiful. Again, a big thank you to Mario and Jefferson for such a great stay.
