Wonderful boutique stay!

Great location, clean, comfortable, great value for money. Lovely pool overlooking the square in central Santa Marta which was great in the midday sun! Staff were excellent and the breakfast was plentiful! We were able to store bags pre and post stay with no problem due to our transfer timings. Would highly recommend and stay here again without a second thought!

Amazing stay in Santa Marta. Placita Viega hotel is located right in the center of town at the parque de los novios. It is a walkable distance away from all of the best restaurants, clubs, and bars. The area is always full of people and very safe. It is also a 5 minute walk from Santa Marta beach.

Suite à un problème de réservation, j'ai été relogé dans cet hôtel charmant avec très belle piscine en terrasse. Petit-déjeuner à la minute, personnel serviable et grande chambre. C'était parfait ! L'emplacement est idéal, dans le centre historique avec une quantité innombrable de restaurants à proximité, mais attention aux couche-tôt : n'espérez pas dormir avant la fermeture des bars, à minuit (il me semble) ! Même avec des bouchons, ça reste très bruyant, mais c'est le quartier qui veut ça.

Que lugar tan maravilloso! La atención de Mario, Fabi, Dianis, Nataly, Olga y Ripol fueron inmejorables. El desayuno es espectacular. El cayeyé es la especialidad del hotel y es una delicia. Gracias a Olga y a la otra señora que lo hacen. Y gracias a Nataly que nos escribió su receta personal. Escogimos este hotel por las facilidades para silla de ruedas. Pero, fuimos muy afortundados de quedarnos en este lugar hermoso con personas amables y pacientes. Volveremos muchas veces mas!
