About
Hotel Manizales
Hotel Manizales sits on Calle 10B in Santa Marta's old town, putting you within easy walking reach of the city's main attractions and the Malecón. It's a no-frills option, focusing on the essentials: a clean bed, a working bathroom, and a helpful front desk.
Guest feedback points to a generally positive experience, with the service standing out as a particular highlight. Rooms are basic — expect compact bathrooms and thin walls — and the in-house dining is nothing special, but for travellers prioritising location and price over luxuries, this hotel delivers.
In brief
What works, what to weigh
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Friendly, attentive staff — The team at Hotel Manizales earns consistent praise for being welcoming and helpful, from check-in to local recommendations.
- Excellent central location — Set on Calle 10B in the historic centre, you're a short walk from the beach, the cathedral, and the lively bars and restaurants of Santa Marta.
- Fair value for the area — In a city where prices can climb, this hotel offers a wallet-friendly option without sacrificing the essentials.
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms are basic and could use updating — Several guests note that the accommodation feels dated, with small bathrooms and worn furnishings. It's functional, not fancy.
- Noise can be an issue — Because of the central location and older construction, street noise and sound from neighbouring rooms can be noticeable, especially at night.
- Limited on-site dining — The restaurant and breakfast receive average marks, so you may want to head out to explore the many eateries nearby.
