The front desk staff have to be the rudest people that I’ve ever dealt with. The bad: there is no bottled water in the room, no coffee maker, Direct Tv did not work. The good: the people working on the 6 th floor are very nice, the pool is clean, the bed was comfy. First impressions mean a lot and when you get treated like crap when you walk in and when you check out it leaves a bad impression. Please speak with the front seat staff, it really is a nice hotel. Just a few bad people working there.

The hotel and staff were outstanding. The food was delicious and the rooms were very spacious. The bathroom was very big. The outside is very busy but this is normal in the heart of the city.

We had just 3 days at the Hotel Catedral Plaza and were SO disappointed to leave. The staff were all VERY friendly and accomodating. We were especially impressed with Gladys, a restaurant and bar server. Breakfast was impressive, with plenty of hot and cold choices - all included in the price. And what can I say about the pool? Absolute heaven - from places to sit to the amazing view!

The service, security were outstanding. Everyone was very friendly and very helpful. I will definitely stay here again, and I would recommend this hotel to others. The only thing that I did not like about the hotel is limited parking.

Staff were very helpful when we needed to move rooms due to noise. Great views of the cathedral, but road works currently happening in all the historic centre. Clean spacious rooms.

The hotel is very well situated in the middle of Santa Marta next a beautiful cathedral, walking distance to all action. At the front desk we were welcomed from Lina Maria, she’s amazing very patient, helpful and spoke English. She answered all our questions with a smile, she’s great. The room was nice, clean comfy exactly what we needed. The hotel had a roof top pool with a great view over looking the cathedral and amazing sunset. Breakfast was very good and change every day. We were there for 3 nights.

8/10

Good overall. I was given a small room which was not window facing as seen in photos. There were no towels when I checked in. The staff was helpful and helped me with what I needed. Located close to center, so dining options are plenty and nearby.

4/10

The expectations were high but it wasn’t what I was expecting. The humidity in the room was really bad ( the smell), exposed electrical cables in the shower head in the bathroom. However the service was very good as well as the staff.
