Located in the centre of Santa Marta, 600 metres from Bahía de Santa Marta Beach and 200 metres from Santa Marta Cathedral, Hostel paradise St offers free WiFi and air conditioning. This guest house is 5.1 km from Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino and 7.1 km from Rodadero Sea Aquarium and Museum. The property is set in the Centro Historico district.

Spotlessly clean throughout the room and the common areas. Fabulously comfortable beds with beautiful linens. Good towels and toiletries in the spacious bathroom which had a good rain shower and even a bidet spray. Nightstands had great lights for reading and there were many outlets at bedside and also at the desk and chair. Staff were wonderful, friendly and helpful although not much English spoken. Location is excellent, close to the action but far enough to be quiet at nights. Work is being done downstairs but I didn't hear any noise. Even when the next door restaurant had loud music closing the bathroom door made it quiet so soundproofing is excellent. Highly recommend this excellent choice.

The location was 10 minutes to the entrance of Zaino. The room was very spacious. It is also close to the river where you can swim. But the best part was the owner. Ramon was very helpful. Thank you very much!

Felix is a super great host! It is not the typical hotel, it is like staying with a family. I used it mostly, to visit the Tayrona national park. Felix and his friends were super helpful about planning everything, for taking the bus and keeping some stuff, while I was hiking in the park. The bus is just leaving two minutes away from the place and just costs 8000 COP, for go to the park. For me it was an amazing stay, Felix and his friends are super friendly and so helpful and flexible!
