    Loud hallway when other guests returned (from partying?) in the night, no window. Fine for a night, but nothing special.

    Central location, A/C, clean shared bathroom

    Nothing- I would stay again

    I loved the location and the warm welcome from the staff. There is a really friendly warm atmosphere among residents. I don’t speak much Spanish and they spoke English 😅

    Not a real proper reception, No window in the rooms.

    Just 10 min from the main square, close to busses and 15 min walk from the bus terminal Staff is nice, they let me leave the big bag for few days. Everything fit in big lockers in the room, bring your lock. Rooms are quiet small and no windows but bed are comfy and there are also curtains. Not busy hostel at that time, kitchen is available but not so much space. Nice warm shower. Breakfast for few boliviano extra is served in a hotel behind the corner.

    The bathroom door lock needs to be fixed, and the shower could be cleaned more often. No one will be at the reception and maybe they should put their contacts in the site and make it clear to always give the arrival time correctly bcos the doors will be locked.

    I love that the staff are friendly eventhough they don't speak english but they try to help. I love the dorm I got, it was big and comfy with curtains and plugs. The kitchen is small but is good enough for the price.

    there was no soap in the bathrooms, which is unsanitary. Various times I could smell cigarette smoke in the dorms and it seemed like it was coming from the common area. I don’t know if smoking is allowed inside but it made me uncomfortable

    the hostel is centrally located and is 2 blocks from the main plaza and is about a 10 minute walk to plaza san martin. I didn’t eat the included breakfast but appreciated that it was an option

    No complaints really. Aside from the tables in the central area near the kitchen, there aren’t any cozy communal areas to hang out, but overall a really nice hostel.

    Centrally located, really comfortable and clean beds with privacy curtains. I didn’t use the kitchen but it looked reasonably well equipped. Tables in the middle of the hostel can be used for meals. Shared bathrooms were clean. Huge lockers with internal shelves that can fit all your stuff.

    Very close to the centre of town. Comfortable bed. Hot shower. Friendly staff. Large buffet breakfast available at sister hotel.

    Not a negative but the kitchen was quite small, but more than functional.

    Lovely hostel and in a great location, very close to the main plaza. Camilla was very helpful too. The facilities were very clean. Breakfast and towels were included, which was an added bonus. I really enjoyed my stay in Salta :)

    They used the most favorable official exchange rate and charged me the 21% VAT with no possibility of wave no matter the payment.

    Except for the slightly higher than expected cost everything was fine. It was a very quiet place when I was there.

    fantastic location in salta. Jose at reception was really helpful at organising tours and was always checking with us to see if we needed anything. beds have curtains all around them and towels are included which is a great touch! huge lockers to store bags and each bedside has a plug and a lamp.

    The dorm did not have any windows. We had one fan for the six beds and it did not rotate, so was pointed one way or another. I think they are putting AC into all of the dorm rooms. So I think this will be solved soon. Two of the women in my dorm spent most of their time together in one bunk, which got a little tiring. Get a room!

    Super clean and new. Great layout and comfortable areas to sit and also eat. Nice bathrooms. Friendly staff.

    Toilets are a bit small for Europeans with long legs but who cares.

    - very friendly host is proactive and helps you out wherever he can. - very new and bright. - great showers with good water pressure. - my dorm had airconditioning. - breakfast is good (croissants, toast, fresh fruit, coffee etc) - good and thick matresses (25 cm) - beds with curtains - HUGE lockers for all your belongings. Biggest I've seen so far. One of the best hostels I stayed in during my travel in Argentina.
