The best hideaway in the middle of the city

This is an amazing place! Breakfast is terrific. The room was quiet, large, and well done and the staff is more than helpful. They literally have 3 rooftop terrace and it’s located on the edge of the historic district walkways to give you. Perfect escape from any crowds. An oasis truly

Not a good experience

We arrived at the hotel and the staff informed us that do to a pluming issue we would noty be able to stay there. No other possible room to stay in. We were only offered another room in a partner hotel called Casa del faro. The condition of the hotel was not good. It was deteriorated and the decoration looked old. The pool area needs a lot of work. The room had a bad smell and we were not given another option as to where to stay. The staff was helpful and tried to be as useful as they could, but it was definitely not satisfactory.

We had stayed several times in the sister property. Pros: the personnel is very attentive, and always keen to help. Cons: location, is on a pedestrian street just at the side of a busy intersection, getting taxis can be challenging as they cannot get just in front of the property; it can be quite noisy. I would suggest to provide separate towels for the pool.

Homey Comfy and Cosey.

Reception service was good. The breakfast was good and chef was very nice. The hotel is much smaller than others that will come up on search but the level of professionalism and warmth of staff is more of a homey feeling. The bathrooms are tiny and congested but the overall hotel gas a fabulous personality.

What did I pay for?

The power went out twice, I realize that these things occur but for a hotel charging $65/night one would assume they could budget for a backup generator like the shoe store directly in front selling Chinese réplicas of sports shoes. It was so prolonged and frequent that they moved me to another hotel. Pool was under contruction... I just don't know where to begin but I think I've done pretty well.

Not what we thought we were going to get!

This hotel calls itself \"boutique.\" It should be \"boo-tique.\" The rooms are not very clean. The piano (I guess where they got their name) is completely a disaster. We needed to extend an extra night, and boy did they charge us for that. Almost double what we paid for the initial reservation per night. Breakfast staff was good and the dining area is very nice even though cramped. Not much selection on food, but then dieting has always been my thing. Rooftop pool was nice. Location was actually good, on a pedestrian mall. Rooms and hotel don't actually match. A bit deceptive. They are really sitting on a gold mine if they'd just make some changes and improvements.

Just do you a favour do not book this hotel

The hotel is incredibly dirty and you will notice that as soon as you go in being welcomed in a dirty reception with not air conditioning. The counter of the reception is actually sticky and dusty. The photos you will see on any booking sites are wide angled to make the rooms look bigger in reality they are not apart from the high ceiling. There are not windows looking on the outside meaning there is no natural light making it rather claustrophobic. Now the choice of making the furnishing and the interior design white does not help hiding the dirt. I had a very bad service from them when pointing those things out I wanted to cancel my booking made through hotels.com and paid in advance. They told me about their not refundable policy and excused the dirt and poor maintenance of the hotel only saying \"we are sorry this is an old building\". I complained to Expedia ( hotels.com) and they were not helpful at all. When I suggested to at least change room they just told me it would cost me more. Something that I've never had before, on the contrary in other hotels they always try the best to accommodate the needs. I also suggested to move my reservation to another of their closer hotels and was told they were full, when I checked they actually had availability. Weird! So in my opinion you are better off somewhere else. Also the location of this hotel is extremely noisy and trafficked which doesn't help either with the heat and the humidity. So I would not recommend it even though th

Great Hotel for a good price

Excellent Hotel, located in the area where are all the good resaturants and bars. Is also very near to Santa Marta's \"Marina\" and the staff are very friendly and help you with any doubt you have. The hotel room is very comfortable, the rooms are clean and they have plenty of space. My only complain was that the Wifi network is a little slow, but you will spend your time in the beach so this is not an issue. Very good hotel, I will come back any time, also the breakfast is great!

Great boutique hotel in fantastic location

We loved our stay at la casa del piano! Rooms were nice with comfortable beds and a/c. The location was perfect! It was located on a main street close to the best restaurants, bars, and shops. The pool area was a bit small but was enough to be able to sit and relax in the sun. Breakfast was fantastic with fresh fruit and your choice of menu item. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Extended stay

Nice stay, extended to stay three days in total. Rooms were cleaned, after highlighting hair all over room - but no issue after this with cleanliness. Great location. Nice breakfast. Staff friendly, but the information they give is inconsistent with each other, and third parties (I.e. Time bus transfer is to arrive and depart, and the cost.) TV didn't work in either room

Nice Small Hotel

It´s located in downtown, 1 - 2 blocks away from good restaurants and bars. Beach is about 8 blocks away. the entrance to the hotel is located in a walking boulevard, so you can´t get there in a car and you have to drag your bags a few yards on your own. Rooms are small but cozy. I couldn´t use the jacuzzy but I heard it was good. Breakfast is small but delicious. Parque de los Novios, is a nice little park two blocks away surrounded by restaurants and places to relax.

A Pretty & Friendly Hotel

From the warm and friendly welcome my stay here was a pleasant one. The location is good as there are shops, bars and restaurants a few minutes walk away. The layout with outside breakfast area, terrace and small swimming pool is really nice with some shaded areas. The staff are always helpful and English is quite well spoken. Considering the room with TV and Air Con, breakfast and service you really get value for money here. The only downside is the lack of hot water for showers etc....but it is very hot outside anyway.

The area has potential, but, no.

Very unfriendly breakfast staff overall bad attitudes . The area has potential to be a nice touristy place however due to lack of security and police presence the nearby tourist zone \"parquet de pis novios\" and adjacent patio restaurants are littered with drug addict bums and beggars. Also the narrow dark streets seem very dangerous at night . I have spent many nights out on the town in Bogotá and Cartagena with no issues, however due to the reasons mentioned above Santa Marta is a real dump .

If you're going to enjoy the nearby Tayrona natural park and beautiful beaches , I recommend staying at the nearby fishing village Taganga. There a decent reasonably priced hotels there and the people are very friendly and helpful . Just an overall better experience

Great location, friendly staff

Place is in a great neighborhood, right in the center of town- close to everything. There's a supermarket almost across the street. The same very street the hotel is located has some of the best restaurants in town.

Staff are friendly and helpful. While their English might not be the very best, they get full points for trying to make ones stay enjoyable.

Electricity can go off at times , particularly on gusty nights. There's a tree inside the hotel and on those same gusty nights the rustling of tree leaves can keep one awake if one is a light sleeper.

Breakfast is very good.

Good hotel with nice location but no parking

Nice hotel with a cool pool at the top. The only problem is that it's far away from the parking lot, so if your driving you will have to walk with your baggage quite far. I didn't like the fact that checkout is at 12 and there is no extension for late checkout, which is a bummer.

The rooms are OK but nothing too great. The bathrooms are small.

This is a very nice hotel, new and located very near the best area of downtown Santa Marta. Breakfast has several options and staff is really nice. Pool is small but cozy. My only problem was overall cleanliness. It should be better for this type of hotel. Also towels are not sufficient and bathroom amenities are almost none existent. For the price I think you should get a lot more.
