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.

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

We arrived with a big group and were originally told by phone that we would be put in three rooms but upon arrival were told we would have to pay extra unless we all shared their large room which we did. The hotel is centrally located but the street is dark and scarry at night and appeared to have many... More

We stayed with the very friendly, effective and strong team at the Hotel NG. It was extremely well maintained, nicely proportioned rooms, very clean, great breakfast, had two cups of coffee. The relaxed and focused efficiency of our concierge Jorge was to 5-star standards at a 1-star price!

The Nueva Granada was a great place to stay. It has professional staff, excellent standards in the hotel and the breakfast was very tasty. In a place where the humidity can soar up to 99%, the little plunge pool was a welcome relief.

In a city like Santa Marta with lot of poverty and dirt, we found that we needed a good, clean base to come 'home' to. Hotel Nueva Granada met our needs. Clean, quiet, free internet (3 quite fast computers), good breakfast and most of all: very friendly staff and owner. We felt very very welcome. Gracias y atentamente a Nueva... More
