I stayed at orange hotel for Easter weekend and,I must say the staff was Amazing and professional! The breakfast in the morning was delicious 😋 😊, And everything is a five minute walk!! Beach, restaurants, pharmacy and shopping for souvenirs, I will definitely recommend the orange hotel to anyone who is looking for a place to stay 👌 😀
Great place with very friendly, professional, and attentive staff. Felt comfortable before I even walked in the door as the lobby view from the street is pleasant and open. Breakfast and coffee were delicious and made to order. Has a bit of the social feel of a hostel while retaining the service, privacy, and convenience of a hotel. It was also right next to the best restaurants in the city and the beach. Would definitely stay again.
If you are looking for a great stay look no further then the Orange House Hotel. Mario and Jefferson are usually the guys that welcome you and these guys optimize what customer service is all about. These guys and all the staff go out of the way and make it a mission to make sure you have a great stay. The Orange House is centrally located and the premises are beautiful. Again, a big thank you to Mario and Jefferson for such a great stay.

I would go back
The staff was very helpful and the location convenient. There was loud music from a club nearby one night, but they ended at
midnight.
Great hotel to stay at in santa marta 100m from the sea front. Close to all the bars and restaurants and exito supermarket about 300m up the road. Rooms are basic but clean were good enough for us as we only needed somewhere to put our heads down and have a shower ! Amazing value for money at this hotel . Staff on reception were amazing so helpful and friendly nothing was too much trouble! Thanks jeff , Geraldine and kelli ! Definitely worth a visit and a stay if thinking of visiting santa marta which is a cool place very chill compared to the bigger cities we visited! Many thanks to the team at hotel Puerto pelicano !

This is a three star hotel, not four and a half! It’s a quaint boutique hotel with small rooms and not luxurious in the least. The staff is fantastic, the pool is nice and the breakfast and coffee were good. The water temperature in the shower is lukewarm, definitely not hot. We had two maintenance issues with clogged drains in the shower and bathroom sink and they were fixed promptly. Make sure you bring your own shampoo, etc because none is provided. The location of the hotel is excellent and it’s an interesting old building.
- Good Location
- Comfortable bed
- Clean room
- Delicious Breakfast
- Very kind staff
- Tv with Netflix was an added bonus
- Good air on
- There was an issue with the booking, it was booked through the Hotels app. We had to contact the customer service and it was then sorted by the following day. The hotel allowed us to stay our first night while the booking issue was being sorted.
The best of the property is its staff, friendly and always ready to assist with anything no matter what it is. The breakfast is basic but fresh, with that unique homemade touch and made to order. There's no live channels included, only apps, but who cares, no one would go on vacation to Santa Marta to stay in the hotel room watching tv. Special thanks to Geraldine and Kelly, they always went above and beyond to make my stay more enjoyable
Accepted my booking then messaged me after saying they were fully booked, it was unrefundable, just took my 72$

Very noisy at night, since the hotel next door has karaoke after 9pm until Iike 2am. No hand soap in bathroom etc. we paid ahead and they were trying to charge me again while check in and they tried again during check out.
