Stayed here for 4 nights and had a blast. All of the Staff bent over backwards to make sure our stay was a good one. They helped organise tours, set up the BBQ at night, provided a nice breakfast and made us feel completely at home. I cannot recommend this hostel any higher.

The staff wasn't friendly - it was rather hard to get an answer when talking to them. When I asked something the guy just bothered to answer " no sé" - "I don't know". At breakfast there was a bunch of them talking about bad experiences with their clients. Not so nice athmosphere I'd say!

I cant find te words to describe this hostel, or more right to say- this family! But I will do my best. This Hostal is the best place you will find, not only in Salta, but in all Argentina. It is a warm family in the middle of this beautiful city. The staff is unbelievable. They will help you in EVERY LITTLE THING you will need. It is a very clean place, it has a great patio, kitchen, breakfast. The location is perfect and very safe. But as I said, the people are who make this place amazing.

The staff just hangs out with themselves, takes up most of the space in the patio, and is not very helpful or friendly. Also, the location is not that great; far from downtown, though close to the bus station. You only go there once in your trip.

I stayed in the room with a window face to the street, it was so noisy all the night because of the cars. Without the noise problem, this is a pretty good hostel to stay.

A little far from the town centre, very noisy all night and could not sleep well, breakfast seemed to be controlled, staff were ok and it was relatively clean - stay was pleasant enough.

the staff was excellent and the tours offered by Cusco in Cafayate is definitely a plus. The only thing is that the rooms are really noisy and maybe a curfew should be envisaged after 11 pm

We only stayed one night in this hostel and it was fine for that. The rooms all have very loud, creaky doors which are a nuisance to close. The hostel is in a great location, close to downtown but in a quiet area and within walking distance to the hostel, although there was someone waiting for us at the bus station so we didn't need to walk. There is a good, well equipped kitchen to use which was handy. I would recommend this hostel.

Friendly staff. It is a smaller hostel with a more social atmosphere than the bigger, more noisy party hostel that I had just come from. The room temperature was reasonably cool and I was able to fall asleep much faster. First time I had good nights sleep in 4 days.

Highly recommended hostel. The staff is super friendly and helpful, kitchen, dorms and bathrooms are very spacious, and the facilities are organised around a central courtyard making it a good place to meet other travellers around a drink or a barbecue. Also, big supermarket just around the corner, and not so far from the main attractions. Try to get a place at the back as the front tends to get the noise from the busy street. Overall great.
