The rooms are ok. Had to leave and stay somewhere else due to the shared bathroom situation. Only 2 toilets and 2 showers for a lot of rooms. That means the toilets are usually dirty and smelly. You’ll be lucky to find soap or toilet paper. On top of that, The Italian owner is nice but the prices he quotes for bike rentals and tours are high compared to other hotels and tour companies. For the price, there are better options.

Better options elsewhere for the price

Love this place! Quiet in the middle of the city. Walking distance to beaches, harber and city centre. Very friendly people, clean rooms with airco and fridge. Breakfast included and you can use the kitchen. 
All perfect. Sorry to leave 

😍

My stay at Posada San Martin was quite unpleasant. Monica the manager charged we $30 extra when my friend came to stay with me for no reason. I had booked a double room with a private bathroom. The price for one guest or two is the same. Monica basically extorted the money from me. 
Shayra the owner’s niece and her mom just hang out there all the time. They pretend to be helpful, but they are all part of an opportunistic clique of people who see tourists as ATM machines. They just want your money. Shayra’s own hotel “Shay” across the street looks like a deserted ghost town building. 
Don’t take lightly the drunks who hang out at the entrance to the hotel. Asking for money and if you are a single female think twice! You might not be able to go back to your hotel. One girl from Italy had to be accompanied by police to return to her room because the drunks were harassing her.
Monica you will read this. I want you to know that the way you treated me was rude. The way you extorted $30 from me was unethical, you gave no logic, no explanation etc... I am a yoga instructor and will be bringing about 15 students to San Andres. You lost my business - your hotel will remain with empty rooms. All because you cheated me. The owner, if you are listening and you care - you have horrible staff - your family (Shay, your sister etc...) use your hotel as a personal club & don’t care about long term profit or good will. They just want a quick $$$.
There is a restaurant on site , but they only make lunch for themselves. Tourists have to fend for themselves. 
Shayra’s mother even told me to move out of the breakfast area once even before I finished my coffee.
San Andres is a paradise and Posada San Martin is the opposite. Do yourselves a favor and book elsewhere.

Horrible Staff, Very Unsafe Neighborhood

Really safe place day & night for a true experience in the middle of real Caribbean mood (the people of San Andrés are marvellous and happy, you can feel their pleasure of sharing their island with you).
Few minutes walking from the main beach and other touristic attractions.
Staff really nice and smiling.
30 meters from the caribeñho restaurant Donde Denis (just in front of the back side of the police main office) where the local people everydays eats, delicious and affordable.

The perfect place to stay in San Andrés!

The hostel was in a great location, 5 mins from the beach front. The staff were helpful even with the language barrier they always tried their best to assist us. The main lady was really helpful with check in, giving plenty of information about the place, where to go, what to see etc. We booked the day boat trip with them which was excellent! The breakfast was great as well. The rooms were comfortable with AC and a fan which was nice. The bathrooms were shared but always super clean!

Great hostel in a good location

I stayed one night before travelling to Providence. It is very well located, and because of that, I´d say the price is not that high. If it was in a different part of town I´d say it´s expensive for what it is. Walking distance to the port (5/6 blocks), the public beach and downtown. Close to the airport. The street and the area surrounding the hotel doesn´t feel safe and the entrance is big and always open, there is no gate. Because of that, in the middle of the night some guys just arrived in a car and started honking and asking loudly if there were any rooms left; very annoying, woke us up, and there was no hotel personnel to say anything. 
The room was very clean, AC and wi-fi, it had a small refrigerator, the shared bathroom was also clean and well equipped. The service personnel was really kind. On the other hand one (lazy) administrator and the owner (nicer on whatsapp) were indifferent and distant. I went to their office a couple of times (to register and to ask something) and they didn´t even said hello and just ignored me for a while, instead of just saying that they would be with me in a minute or something like that. Despite that, I have to say that the owner gave me great tips regarding the trip in Catamaran to Providencia (which is no joke at all) and about places I needed to go to.
They put me in the only room that has no window and is right next to the open entrance. Didn´t feel so safe so I asked for a change of room and they refused to do it. I guess the service is better if you stay more than one night and pay more.
At night you can hear the music of a couple of places nearby, but despite that, you can sleep. Bring earplugs if you have a light sleep. The hotel has very beautiful mural paintings, nice common areas (although they were doing reparations), hammocs, and little details that make it a simple but pleasant place.
Breakfast was from 7 or 7:30 I think, but I had to leave at 6:30, so the lady in the kitchen gave me coffee and toast, which was nice. 
It is a good place for solo travel and for a short period of time.

Good enough for one night stay.

Overall I feel that Posada San Martin is a solid choice for a short stay on San Andres. We chose Posada San Martin for staying one night both before and after our trip to Providencia.  The staff were great - very friendly.  The facilities were simple but clean, and the breakfast was simple but included. 

We had two main complaints.  The first is that we strongly disliked San Andres (but Providencia was great). The second is not unique to Posada San Martin but rather typical for Colombia - lodging costs are per person and not per room.  This makes the country a good value for singles or couples but expensive for families.
