Hotels in Historic Center

Beautiful two bedrooms apartment, with all you might need to cook and dine in. The view of the Santa Marta Bay is nothing but amazing. The staff is very friendly. I'll be back!

Muy lindo hotel en el Centro Histórico de Santa Marta,as habitaciones, limpias y bonitas. La atención del personal fue inmejorable.

Hotel is an oasis! Beautiful, boutique hotel. We struggled a little to communicate with the staff, but they were all incredibly friendly and the service was wonderful. The bathroom in the standard room is not separate, so you can see into the shower from the bed, regardless, comfortable, well-kept room.

Excelent spot in downtown Santa Marta. Restaurants are close by, theres an "EXITO" store; (mini walmart) 2 blocks away if you want to get supplies for your stay. Overall, the hotel was perfect for our stay!

The owners are excellent. They attend to any requests. They speak many languages. Rooms are clean, quiet, with fan and air conditioning The property beach is lovely. If walk down to the fishing village unfortunately it is littered with garbage and animal feces. Sadly this is present in many countries. Hopefully with time and education this global problem of pollution will be solved. But the hotel is very relaxing and tranquil with lovely owners. Food is perfection!!!!

Two friends and I stayed here before the Lost City trek. The hotel is beautiful, has a lovely rooftop deck serving delicious meals, is very well located and the rooms are large and comfortable. The staff is outstanding; they were not only friendly but incredibly helpful on our return from the trek. They called the airline for us to change flights, stored our luggage, and provided extensive advice. Couldn't be happier about this hotel and would stay again!

A very comfortable room (we stayed in one with two queen beds) with a great air conditioner. The location is excellent -- very close to Parque de los Novios, but is on a quieter street that does not have the traffic and noise closer to the park. The room's large-screen TV offers a great selection of cable channels. We were also impressed with the breakfast -- a traditional Colombian meal of eggs, arepa, toast, and natural juice. You should really enjoy your Santa Marta experience if you stay...

I truly enjoyed my stay at Alko Cotona. The bed was suuuuper comfortable, the room immaculately clean, location is perfect (right by main drag for eating and drinking as well as only a few minutes from the beach!) — rooftop pool and restaurant/bar also great, with a view of the ocean/marina on one side and the mountains on the other. Most importantly, the quality of service and hospitality at Alko Cotona hotel is truly outstanding. Every staff member I encountered went out of their way to make...

Great stay, the breakfast was good, and the location is fantastic

This is the 2nd time i’ve stayed here. I got suite #10 that has a private terrace and small pool. it was incredible and absolutely romantic. Great location, great breakfast and all the staff are wonderful!

Muy confortable, todo el staff pendiente de brindarte el mejor servicio. La comida deliciosa. El sitio espectacular con playas quietas y privadas!

Love it and the staff is very friendly

Great place, Only a walk away to restaurants and board walk. We had the pent house unit and if it was not for the wind we would have slept on the balcony! If I ever go back to Santa Marta I will visit this hotel again.

I am so glad I chose this hotel; it was the perfect home base for my trip. I spent half my time exploring the north and the other half in the city center, and this location made navigating both areas seamless. The front desk team was incredible, taking all the stress out of my logistics by coordinating my transportation perfectly. Beyond the convenience, the hotel itself is beautiful. My room was spacious and very comfortable, and the food at the on-site restaurant—both for breakfast and...

Friendly... Old fashioned, antique rooms..

Wonderful hotel with great room. A/c works well and keeps the place nice and cold. Great restaurants. If you go, you will have a great time. My wife and I will be back.
