    A Social Hostel With A Great Rooftop Terrace

    The room facing the main street can be a bit noisy due to loud motorcycle exhaust noise

    Great rooftop terrace for relaxing and socialising. Friendly, helpful staff. I extended my stay here three times from 2 days to a week and then 2 weeks. There are 2 kitchens which means that kichen access is never an issue

    Nothing, for the price it is a very decent hostel.

    Nice hostel near the city center. Rooftop terrace is good for meeting other travelers, on my first night I met people to do a roadtrip with the next day. Well equipped kitchen. When I went on a roadtrip they stored my bags for free.

    - some room have noisy fan.

    - nice hostel, nice rooftop with Cerro San Bernardo view - well equipped kitchen - some rooms are big and comfy - close to the historical center of Salta and still walking distance from bus terminal - lockers to leave your bags. We were lucky that enough lockers were available so that we could leave our luggage for a few days (tour outside Salta) with a 2nd night booked after the tour.

    The mattress/pillows were not the most comfortable, but I didn't have problems to fall sleep. The temperature of the rooms was fantastic tho.

    The location for this hostel was perfect for what I was looking for. You arrive to the center in a 10 minutes walk. The terrace is fantastic, with a beautiful view of the mountain in front of it. Above all, the best was the staff. They were helpful with everything I needed and provided historical information and tips about the region.

    Nada:)

    It's a true Backpacker gem in Salta! It's a place, where you meet people from all over the world on the spacious rooftop. It's a good option to learn or improve your Spanish, too :) I want to point out: this hostel has TWO WELL EQUIPPED AND BIG KITCHENS! the whole place is generally clean, and offers loads of space to hang out. It's within walkable distance to the terminal, the centre for shopping, restaurants, bars, car rental companies and Western unions! After 5 months of traveling in South America definitely one of the best hostels we've been to (if you are also tired of the hipster hostel chains)!!

    On the day of checkout, I was told very rudely by the girl at reception that I would have to leave the hostel immediately or else pay half a day more for staying longer. I’ve never heard of anything like this in any other hostel I stayed around the world and I think I would not have minded too much, if it weren’t for the very I friendly tone and rudeness in which this message was delivered. This was the only bad experience I had with the staff tho, everyone else was super friendly.

    Nice hostel with a good sized kitchen that offers everything you need. I loved the rooftop/ terrace. Most of the staff were super nice and helpful

    Nice and cheap place close to the bus station and car rental companies. Very spacious and a lot of places to chill 2 kitchens as they connected 2 houses into one.

    Incredibly cheap and good value for money, which made up for the fact there was no breakfast. There’s a couple of really nice breakfast places right next to the hostel. Decent location in Salta too

    The beds weren´t the most comfortables but it was perfectly fine.

    The staff was so helpful and friendly. When I got sick they called a doctor and went to the pharmacy for me. The rooftop balcony is lovely and the location is just perfect. I walked everywhere without a problem.

    The owner makes you feel very welcome and knows a lot about the surroundings, tells you everything you need to know. Also the hostel is very social and in a nice area.

    We had to leave the hostel immediately after checkout - otherwise you pay a half day extra. So it's not allowed to wait a little while longer in the shared area.

    Very nice!
