We travelled to Colombia in the height of the tourist season and were really struggling to find somewhere with availability when we found this hotel, we couldn't work out why it was available when virtually everywhere else was full and it still remains a mystery as the hotel was really excellent. We ended up extending our stay from 2 to... More

Had a great stay, all staff very friendly. I travelled thru out Colombia and did not find the location bad at all, you are in a third world country. Looked at many other cheaper options but nowhere came close. A/C, pool, breakfast, internet, books, and cheap beer what else can you want.

We extended our stay here because of how ell we were treated. We stayed 5 nights altogether. The rooms are exceptionally clean and tidy and have cable tv and a bar fridge. There was one really hot day where we needed aircon which costs about $10us extra per day. The breakfast is delicious - eggs, toast, coffee. The manager really... More

We'd arranged in advance with Hotel Nueva Granada for a taxi to pick us up at the Santa Marta airport as we were getting in around 9:30pm. Our driver was there with a sign, and was friendly, informative and courteous. He told us that it is not safe to walk around Santa Marta in the evening after 7pm. Someone else... More

Great place, friendly and from all the hotels we have seen in Santa Marta definitively the one with the best value. I especially liked the Slow Food restaurant that they recommended.

Excellent hotel, very nice courtyard, great breakfast, pleasant service. Rooms were fine, with cold A/C, clean. Jacuzzi was murky, to hot to get into anyways. After dark the neighborhood becomes a crazy crack town. I have been in the "hood" in the USA and not felt so creeped out. The surrounding streets are filthy, and the only people out are... More

The hotel is decent but it is crawling with ants! While we were there, the owner threw a big party for his friends and hired an 8-piece band to play. Other guests were not invited to enjoy the music or compensated in any way for the overwhelming noise. I paid too much for the room to have such annoyances.

i was there for around 2 or 3 weeks and it was a reallly good place where u can relax and enjoy of a small but qualify hotel in the down town of the city. People were really nice to us, i was with my family, and everybody make you feel like you are at home. I highly recomend this... More

Located only a few blocks from the esplanade the Nueva Granada is a great option in Santa Marta – Indeed if you are looking for a place that is affordable, clean, tidy and has good facilities this place is an overall winner. The manager Don Javier is a friendly and welcoming host who does his best to make his guests... More
