Really nice hostel a short walk from the central square. Rooms around a courtyard can get cold, but heating is good. Standard breakfast, nice hot showers and helpful staff. Enjoyed our stay.

This was one of the best hostels I have ever stayed at, good location (two blocks from the main square) and set amongst vines. Very pretty, and they do an excellent barbeque for guests. We booked twinshare with private bathroom, room was nice and big and plenty of hot water. Would definitely stay there again

Absolutely gorgeous property, with patio chairs under grapevines for you to sit out. The rooms are spacious, beds comfortable. The staff were wonderful, incredibly friendly and loads of fun.

The main feature of this hostel is the huge patio. It is a very good place to chill out and have breakfast or dinner. The rooms look nice, especially the ones with access to the patio. The bathroom was clean and the breakfast was about average for Argentina. The hostel is located about 2 blocks from the main plaza, but Cafayate is small anyway, so everything is close. The only disadvantage was that the staff, although very friendly, does not speak English, which makes communication harder.

A great place to relax in Cafayate. Friendly staff and a big, peaceful garden to hang out in. 5 minutes walk from the main plaza.

Great place in a great location. Also the fresh grapes growing all around the yard was a nice treat.

This is a very pleasant hostel a bit away from the centre of town. It is overpriced in comparison with others we have stayed at. The tourist nature of the town maybe dictates the price. The breakfast was over-elaborate with poor quality breakfast cereal and bread.

Lovely relaxing courtyard and good sized airy rooms, great facilities - breakfast, wi-fi & computer. Would recommend paying extra to get a room with private bathroom as there is only 1 shared bathroom & toilet - clean but had no toilet paper. No hand towel nor soap with toilets - small details that could make this hostel excellent

We really enjoyed our stay here. Breakfast was good. The staff was helpful. It is a nice relaxing place with a nice backyard where you can enjoy fresh grapes off the vines. The kitchen is well equiped as well.

A cosy, quiet and beautiful place to relax and enjoy Cafayate and surroundings. Definitely not a party hostel, but in the nice backyard you have a lot of opportunities to meet other travellers. The staff was very friendly aswell, so for me it was a very pleasant stay. Highly recommended.
