Great dormitories for a great price. Although our dorm contained 6 beds, the layout was such that there was a part with 4 beds that could be closed and 2 very spacious single beds. Great shower as well.

Free dinner was nice....but watch out for loopholes in which you have to sign up. You also have to travel quite far to get to the other hostel for dinner. Besides that it was super clean! Similar to a hotel. It's also a little far from the center of Salta.

Would have liked to be reminded about the 50 deposit as i was checking out. This feels a bit of a cheap shot and I haven't come across it in enough hostels here to think that it is really necessary. Would also liked to have been informed about the distance to the other backpackers hostel for meals at night. NOT walking distance at all and this annoyed many people I met. The one key policy is also a bit ludicrous.

The set up looks more like a hotel than an hostel for a backpackers price. Very clean, great beds, spacious dorms and bathroom. Very clean and nice staff.

Nice new hostel, large room. Fan but no a/c. Free dinner, but at partner hostel which is about 20-30minute walk away. Don't forget to ask for your deposit back - as they didn't remember to give back, and we forgot.

A nice enough hostel, the breakfast they offer is a bit below standard. Very clean and model, and because they offer free dinners, what are usually very nice. They are twinned with another hostel several blocks away that have great parties. Really recommend

Only one room key is a little annoying, but the hostel was very clean and nice. Good common room for socialising

Although it was noisy at night during my stay there but it was the best value hostal during my stay in Argentina! Nice free dinner and breakfast, nice shower, and the super clean dorms! It's cheaper to book tours outside.

Nice place, simply decorated and very clean. lacked some character though. Needed air con! And more than one key for each dorm - it wouldn't be that bad but the door locks on closing without a handle on the outside, so don't lock your key inside! Also, its hard to complain about free meals, but the free dinners they provided throughout December were terrible, always at least an hour late aswell!

Breakfast and dinner being included is great as is the night for free if you book 2 nights. Funky decoration although lacked cosy atmosphere, more like a new european budget hotel. internet and pcs are great, showers fine. only 4 lockers in a 6 bed room, but only based on one room, didnt see any others. 15min walk to main plaza. a fine hostel and good value.

Wonderful place!! Just pay attention to a couple of things: 1. The free dinner needs you to be signed up first!! If you do not manage that - you will not get it (as it happened to me - nobody told me...). 2. It is quite a walk from the centre. Nice, actually - unless it is raining, of cource...
