Great value for reasonable price

I planned to stay in San Marcos in Taganga for 2 nights and then travel elsewhere. The ho(s)tel and its services and environment were so relaxing and peaceful, that I have decided to stay 3 more nights. The staff provided us an outstanding customer support and made us feel very welcomed and therefore I would like to once again thank them this way. The rooms are simple but clean and functional, wifi is working without problem, breakfast are tasty - you have to taste the juice in the morning! :) One of the best features is the view from the top floor - that is a must see :) Overall, I will gladly return to this place if I will ever be around and I highly recommend this ho(s)tel.
Stayed 2 nights in May 2019
