8/10 Very good

The place and employees were lovely. I went there for the beach but it turned out it's not a good beach so I had to take a long drive to visit another beach in El rodadero. If I would have known the beach in this area was not nice, I would have probably not stayed there.

Very good option in the old city

Very good hotel in the old city. On the first night, we had some issues with the air-con, but they upgraded us the next night. soundproof windows, which is important, excellent service, and a good breakfast. Would stay there again without hesitation.

Little gem in old Santa Marta

Hotel Don Pepe is definitely a touch of luxury in the middle of historic Santa Marta. While this isn’t directly on the beach, it’s 2 minute walk to the main beach promenade. Additionally, it’s incredibly close the main pedestrian activity of the town. I’d say the winning feature of the hotel is the incredibly attentive service and how friendly the staff was. We stayed here for 5 nights and were certainly sad when we needed to leave.

This was by far the best hotel I have stayed in,in Colombia and many other countries by a long shot. The place is absolutely stunning. The room was large and very comfortable. One of my favorites was the rainfall shower! The breakfast, included in the price, was delicious. From the freshly squeezed orange juice to the fresh food plate and the breakfast entrees. Perhaps one of the things I appreciated most was the staff. From the moment we entered the hotel, they were amazing. We received a tour of the facility and of the room! Everyone always had a smile on their face whenever we left the hotel and greeted us warmly when we arrived back from an outing. Santa Marta was a memorable trip, made even better because of Hotel Boutique Don Pepe and the wonderful accommodation and staff. Would definitely recommend this hotel and look forward to staying there again.

This is a charming special hotel. Everything great. It is an old colonoal era buiding that was first renovated by Don Pepe for his family and then renovated by one of his sons was an architect. Oir room had q balcony over looking the inner courtyard. Air conditioning, and Direct TV with CNN as the only English language xhannel of you want to subjectnl yoirself to the horrors of times and CNN sensationalism on vacation. The staff were super helpful with top notch service. They even reminded us when it was time to leave to make our dinner reservations Breakfast was very good. I had the cayeye which was the banana mixture with cheese. Its better than my description. Delicious bread location is great. Terrific restaurants nearby .

Perfect staff and location, gorgeous building. Staff made us feel like valued family members! Senior Perez doted on us at breakfasts (which were delicious) and was so kind - he even packed up a huge lunch for us to take hiking! When one of our excursions failed to pick us on on time, the front desk phoned the excursion company and when the driver did come, THREE staff members came out to scold him and even wrote down the license number for our added safety! Hotel itself is a historic landmark (Simon Bolivar's remains were held in the dining room for a short period!) and our room was spacious, comfortable, lots of AC. Location of hotel is perfect - just a minute from the boardwalk, five minutes from the pier where excursions depart, and one minute from the "zona restaurante" which is full of vendors and all kinds of restaurants and bars (including vegetarian options). A few things to note about the room: there isn't an elevator, so unless you are on the ground floor, you need to be ok with stairs; you won't get a steaming hot shower (common issue in Colombia); our room had a rather "open" bathroom (with a frosted glass partition but no door for full privacy). Also note that the rooftop pool is really used by pigeons - it would be nice if the hotel kept it covered so it would be clean for guests - but the lobby pool is very sweet, especially in the morning when it is partially in sun (but is not heated so not so lovely in the evening when it is in shade). Great pina coladas!

From the moment we arrived we were greeted with a smile and were attended to in a way we’ve never been attended to before. This hotel stay has been my favorite of all hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The staff is incredible, from reception to kitchen, to housekeeping. They were super helpful and went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful stay. I can’t recommend Hotel Boutique Don Pepe enough!!

Best choice you have in the historic zone

Staff is trying very hard to make you feel comfortable but lack on the details. No hot water when we arrived. Forgot wake up call for our excursion. Roach in the bath room for 2 days. Took out used glasses from our room but never replaced them. Food was regular. Cant beat the location though. Right in the center. Nice terrace on the roof. Poor selection for drinks.
