Hotel Boutique Don Pepe

Great hotel, we had a last minute deal so the price/value was really worth it.Room was huge, the bed really comfortable and the shower great.Staff was also very nice.

The only thing i would improve would be to close the bathroom.

Personal very attentive and friendly. Great service. There is many good restaurants nearby. Location is good.

Santa Marta is very Hot. I think Breakfast can have the option of a cooler area.

Little piece of oasis, attentive staff, well situated with good restaurants nearby (Ouzo is great)

Everything about this hotel was exceptional. The staff were very friendly and accommodating; providing recommendations for restaurants etc. The facilities were very clean and my room was much larger than expected. I had plenty of room. They offer a made to order breakfast from a menu of items, so there were plenty of options available. They also offer shampoo and conditioner if needed. The towels had a nice lemon scent (they even offered bathrobes). The room had a small closet with an iron and safe. They offer two small bottles of water and coconut cookies when checking in. This hotel was definitely one of the most upscale I’ve stayed in for awhile (for that price point - even considering I was traveling in Colombia). You could even order lunch or dinner from them if needed and if you are checking out early before breakfast they can offer you a to-go box. On my checkout day, they were more than happy to accommodate me by allowing me to keep my belongings in the room for awhile. They were happy to store my luggage if needed as well. Lastly, the location can’t be beat. One block to the beach and ti Bolivar park as well as the pedestrian street leading to Parque de Novios. For the most part it was quiet given its location. They have a rooftop for a view (be prepared to climb stairs)

Everything was good. The main pool is in an awkward spot- right as you walk into the hotel and in front of the tables where people may be eating breakfast, etc. There is another more private pool upstairs but when I went up to check it out it seemed one couple had taken it over as their private space so…? If you have any kind of mobility problems you should definitely let them know, as only a few rooms are on the ground floor and the rest are upstairs (straight or spiral staircase could be challenging with lots of luggage). While the location was good and generally safe area, the street to go to the beach , pedestrian street or bolivar park was slightly sketchy and not overly well lit (the police station is right there though - going to the beach) but I definitely walked faster at night.

Everything was wonderful! The location, our room, the food, the service. It was lovely. It was quiet and relaxing and very comfortable

Super hôtel - really comfortable and clean with great beds, decor and excellent staff

We really enjoyed our stay. The hotel offers beautiful rooms, although they are a bit dark. The staff was exceptional – incredibly friendly and helpful. I especially want to highlight that one morning, when we had to leave before breakfast, they prepared a thoughtful takeaway package with food and drinks without us even asking. A wonderful service that made our stay even more enjoyable!

Everything! Clean beautiful and historic

Well positioned.

The room had a window that could not be opened so basically no natural light at all. Very slow service at breakfast.

The small hotel was in a great location near the ocean and the historic center. It was very comfortable and quiet. The room was nicely decorated, the bed comfortable, & the room very quiet. We spent time on the lovely rooftop cooling off in the small pool. Highly recommended.

An absolutely stunning hotel in the heart of santa marta. Breakfast was delicious and the staff were lovely. Our room was a good size and the bed was huge! We would highly recommend staying.

Don Pepe is a beautiful boutique hotel in the center of town. The facilities were first class in every way. The breakfast was amazing! The staff were all so very kind and helpful!

Loved everything about this hotel!

The ambience of the hotel is lovely. The staff were very helpful and made me feel valued. The room was really lovely and clean. I loved the decor and extra touches. It is very well located for the busy surrounding streets filled with restaurants and bars.

The downstairs pool lacks privacy and is for appearance only I would say. There is a small pool on the top floor which was more private if you were alone! The stairs would be a challenge for anyone with older knees!

The staff was extremely kind and helpful. My wife actually got sick the last day of our trip and it happened to in Santa Marta. They led us in the right direction for great medicine and even made her some broth.

The location was excellent for the bars and restaurants.Once you’re in the hotel you would never believe you’re in a city.Its is so tranquil with amazing helpful staff.

Nothing to dislike

We loved the good quality linen and a very comfortable bed, the service, hot water, delicious breakfast, rooftop pool, and next level service.

Nothing!

The staff were excellent - very friendly and attentive while keeping a low profile.Once you go through the gates into Don Bepe it feels very relaxing it feels like being at home.

Jacuzzi and Pool

Noise, bad soundproofing of room, a lot of streetnoise.

Beautiful hotel, very convenient location and the staff were incredible. Welcome drinks were delightful too.

The tap water was not drinkable but the hotel did not provide filtered water- we had to purchase, which seemed strange for a hotel of this calibre.

Interesting design of the place with high ceilings.

- the hotel is pretty outdated- no separation between the bathroom and the room , there is absolutely no privacy - when we stayed at this hotel we were almost the only guests. They placed us in the room next to the reception / kitchen / pool area . We were woken up at 6:30 am sharp every day by the kitchen staff staff. Would have been great if they could upgrade us to a better room with more privacy while the hotel was empty. I asked receptionist during the check in if the room is sound proof and she told me yes but it clearly was not.- every time we exited the room multiple staff members stared at us . Same thing during the breakfast. I guess it was due to the fact that they have a lot of staff and at the time we stayed we were the only ones there , but it was very weird. They were all friendly though.- we were not able to use the pool due to the staff standing around it at all times. We used the small pool on the roof and it was OKOverall , this hotel didn’t feel like a 5- star hotel
