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!

The hostel it self is incredible and staff especially were so so nice and welcoming. I took the cheapest room, a dorm of 10. It was a level above any other hostel I’ve been to. Big room, shower and bathroom inside the room! Rare to find

Great Hostel

Friendly staff, clean and comfortable. Lots of activities and helpful front desk staff. We had a private and would definitely suggest paying the extra for superior room because they are in their own little hallway area and much quieter then rest of the hotel/hostel

Viajero Santa Marta es un lugar que lo disfrutas desde que estás entrando, un ambiente que te hace sentir desde el primer momento que estás de vacaciones, te invita a relajarte y disfrutar todo. Ver un atardecer desde el roof es de verdad genial. Las habitaciones son lo suficientemente amplias y con lo necesario. La calle para ingresar y los alrededores no son para nada bonitos, se siente un poco inseguro.
