Salta hostels

Pros: Very homely feel - the owners actually live at the property and were absolutely excellent, nothing was too much trouble. I’d already booked my tours but they helped my room mate book hers. They also arranged my airport transfer and provided a heater for our room on a particularly cold week in Salta! The property is very clean, the kitchen facilities are great and there’s a lovely cosy lounge area to relax in. Breakfast was simple but fine - decent coffee which is the main thing :)

Cons: The location is a bit further out (about 30 min walk to centre), however it’s not a problem at all if you’re doing day tours - companies will pick you up from the hostel. There is also a big carrefour supermarket a few minutes’ walk away so you can buy food to cook at the hostel. The only thing I would change is there aren’t enough plug sockets in the rooms - I couldn’t charge my phone at night. Not a major problem as I used a socket in the living room over breakfast.

Pros: Eduardo was the nicet host I've met in South America, we arrived late and he welcomed us at the door, gave us a tour and gave us tips for all we need. the rooms were basic but comfy, the place is very stylish, and the breakfast is filling.

Cons: The internet definitely needs work, it was barely existent. The breakfast is filling but a bit too simple.

Pros: Very good place! People from the family who are the owners of the house were really kind, you can feel like a home. Cleanliness, calmness, good bathrooms, garden, hammock - perfect facilities. I feel there very comfortable and I loved this staying. Safe area, 25-30min to city centre by foot but you can also use buses. Very close to the big supermarket Carrefour. Everything good :) highly recommend, good place for rest.

Pros: Got private room. The private space with bathroom included is very nice. People are lovely & helpfull. I recommand it for travellers who likes to escape from the "rush" of city center. Very good Wifi.

Cons: No air conditioner & you have to walk a bit to reach restaurants :) but everything else was perfect

Pros: Thanks to all the family for a nice hospitality! I really felt like at home. I was in newly refurbished part of the house, where the beds were really comfortable and bathrooms spot on. Breakfast was basic, but with a tasty coffee. Now the best was that I could've used their little "gym" and play the piano. Real highlight of the stay. Eduardo was super helpful with arranging all kinds of stuff I needed. It was just a little out of the city center, but for those who like to walk is perfect. (Me included)

Pros: Arrived really late at night outside of reception hours but the owner was still there waiting for me, welcoming me to the hostel. Super nice and kind person. Breakfast served to tables

Cons: There could be some kind of a sign outside telling that that house is the hostel. Or if there was one, it should be better placed for better visibility :)

Pros: Great place to spend your time in Salta. The family is lovely, the place is clean, great bathroom facilities en a nice garden to hang out a bit. Big supermarket(Carrefour) only two blocks away.

Cons: It’s a fair 20-30min walk into downtown, which was no problem for us but good to know if you book. Just take a coffee break at Martinez and you’ll be fine!

Pros: Very friendly family! They can help you with what you need and explain everything.

Pros: The family is super lovely. Everything is clean, the facilitys are very good and it's perfect for a more relaxed time.

Pros: - very friendly and helpful hostfamily - familiar „hostel“ - good wifi

Cons: - quite far from the center - many streetdogs around

Pros: Everything! Booked a double room which was super big and very comfortable. The showers were hot and powerful. The back garden is pure heaven. The vibe of the hostel is very chill. Fernando (the hostel owner) is the most helpful person. He couldn’t do enough for me. Thanks so much. I would definitely stay again!

Pros: Very kind and helpful host, good breakfast and very comfortable room. Big supermarket nearby

Pros: Lovely place to spend your time in Salta! Lovely family, spacious rooms and great bathroom facilities.

Cons: Good coffee seems to be difficult to find in northern Argentina.

Pros: Excellent host and services - very helpful recommending excursions and places to go.

Pros: The room was very nice, big, clean and comfortable. The breakfast was super, they asked on what time I planned to go out in the mornings and made me find fresh warm coffee and warm croissants. The staff is amazing, super friendly and helpfull! I had a super time at Hostal All Norte, many thanks.

Pros: Beautiful room and facilities, incredibly clean, lovely outdoor garden, lovely helpful staff.

Cons: The only thing that could be improved is that it was very hot inside the room.

Pros: It was very clean and spacious. The owner was the highlight - he was always ready to help with a smile on his face. Oh and also the dogs - they were amazing!!!

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Very nice staff.

Cons: Rooms were very hot. Bathrooms could use an upgrade.

Pros: Common facilities look nice, bathroom are ok. The girlsdorm is great! Own space and a lot of comfort.

Cons: No athmosphere at all. People were not sociable, i didn’t get breakfast on the first night (probably due that I had to leave at 7:30 for a tour, but all the tours start early and they should know that?)

Pros: One of the best hostels I've stayed in while traveling through South America in terms of the communal hostel vibe. There are lovely lounge areas to chill out including hammocks, there is a decent sized kitchen for cooking. The hostel also offers services like laundry and day tours. There were fans for all the beds, and the dorm beds were quite comfortable.

Cons: Toilet facilities are dated but still functional, showers were hot. Quite a distance from town centre, around a 15 to 20min walk. Breakfast is very basic and very sweet, as with most things in Argentina!

Pros: The nice atmospheric resting area and patio, particularly at night. Very helpful and responsible staff ! Free safe luggage storage also for late departure.

Cons: The stairs to the upper bed a bit difficult and exactly there big fan in the way. Beds too shaky !

Pros: Good location, friedly staff, nice area to chill, good breakfast. A nice place to stay and to meet people.

Cons: A lot of extra costs in the hostel: late check out, rent a towel, payment with visa.

Pros: If you have local tour needs to get up early, they will make breakfast for you earlier. And people Very nice!! Quiet place

Cons: The bathroom and breakfast

Pros: Very nice hostel with a nice atmosphere. The people who worked there were very motivated. Would absolutely recommend it

Pros: The hostel is in a great spot and has really good common areas.

Cons: The breakfast was pretty disappointing and the rooms were very hot and stuffy. Although it’s possible to store bags after check out, the hostel charges a fee to use the common areas after check out time, which is not ideal!

Pros: Great atmosphere in a beautiful old building in the city area about 10mins wall to the central plaza.

Cons: Very hot rooms with no outside windows (our window look straight into the reception area). The pillows and sheets were past it too.

Pros: Staff were really nice and helpful. Bed was comfortable and facilities were clean. Breakfast was delicious in the morning. Nice pool, but I didn't get a chance to use it as the bed was only available for one night during my stay in Salta :(

Pros: Excellent location. Able to leave bags after check out and to use showers. Outdoor laundry line. Bathrooms cleaned frequently. Able to arrange tours. Excellent breakfast. Each bed has a light and an outlet as well as a large locker. Rooms have aircon. Strong wifi.

Cons: Some staff are less helpful than others.

Pros: The hostel is sociable, comfortable and very clean. The beds are large and very comfortable, and there's space in the rooms; they're nicely decorated and clean. The common area is a big open space that overlooks the cozy swimming pool. The outdoor area is great, it has a swimming pool, tables and space to sunbathe. The kitchen is complete with everything you need to make a decent meal and the breakfast is one of the best we've had so far in Argentina.

Cons: One of the dorm rooms is by the street and cars are really noisy. It's the only room by the street, though. The double rooms are quiet and comfortable.

Pros: Wonderful, friendly and helpful staff! the breakfast was amazing (one of the best I’ve seen in a hostel). Nice common area, great location. highly recommend it!!!

Cons: All was great! It was a bit loud in the room due to the fan, but what can you do about it.

Pros: Good hostel with a pool

Cons: Not very social if you're a solo traveller looking to hang out with hostelmates.

Pros: We liked the pool and barbecue next to it

Cons: The main thing we did not like was the price for the room, when you book you will receive an email that they will charge you in ARS according to the precio De Venta( price for sale in bank) so basically what is the current exchange between ARS and USD, the problem is that all other accommodations use Banco Nacional Argentina, only in this hotel they use Banco Nacional de Salta which makes the price about 15 EUR difference!! In the email is not explain well so many people were surprised, so be careful when you go there as the price will be much more expensive, if you pay by card they will charge you 15% more so that is not a good option

Pros: The location and the breakfast

Cons: Garden and pool really small

Pros: Really close to breweries and restaurants Nice garden and plunge pool Decent breakfast

Cons: Room had tiny window onto internal wall Extortionate extra fee to pay on card, didn’t encounter this anywhere else in Argentina Very expensive laundry, there’s a place a quarter of the price around the corner

Pros: The breakfast was pretty nice (bread, cake, dulce de leche, coffe and tea), the location is really close to the centre the staff were nice and friendly

Cons: The toilet downstairs was broken and wasn't good to use and people who didn't have private bathroom in their room came to our room to use the toilet. It was pretty hot inside the rooms and the fan was ok, but not that helpfull

Cons: The room hat around 30 mosquitos inside when we arrived (no joking). The bread we got served for breakfast hat mold all over one side what we recognized after eating... that’s a no go !!! :-( :-( The milk was also got off...

Pros: The hostel is really well located and easy to walk everywhere. Couple of street from the main square 9th July, and from the bars and pubs. The owner and staff were really helpful and welcoming. Nice common areas. Rooms are big and with lockers. Breakfast included fresh orange juice and homemade bread.

Cons: The bathroom was a bit old but still a good hot shower.

Pros: I always compare the price that I pay with quality. This hostel has everything you need. Staff excellent, internet worked well and you can make fresh orange juice in the morning:)

Pros: Location, cleanliness, staff, good breakfast

Cons: Hot at night

Pros: Personal was super nice and helpful, it’s very central and you feel welcome. They had great recommendations for what to see and where to eat.

Cons: They charged 10% for paying by card, furniture was quite used, it’s very noisy (not a great isolation) and the breakfast was ok.

Pros: Lovely staff with tons of recommendations for your stay. Hostel is very clean and welcoming. Breakfast was decent with cake and bread, freshly squeezed orange juice, tea and coffee

Pros: There’s a heater in the room but it only worked after 8pm.

Cons: No towels, no soap, only a roll of toilet paper provided. Only a shower curtain separating the toilet and the space for shower. However after a shower, the floor turned wet everywhere in the bathroom. No hangers, no boiling cattle. Just a double bed with a so-called bathroom.

Pros: Good value for money, large rooms, nice outside space.

Cons: Very loud as the rooms aren't soundproofed, kept awake until 3 am. The bed was not a proper mattress just foam, so very uncomfortable.

Pros: Staff is friendly

Cons: Really dark rooms. Breakfast is a biscuit. No towels. Matras is foam, sleeps very bad. Big group of noisy people during our stay

Pros: A friendly environment and the staff were very helpful.

Cons: The cold water tap didn’t work in my shower

Pros: Breakfast is good, And the overall hostel is nice.

Cons: Rooms are small and old and not necessarily comfy, especially doubles. The staff was not really helpful, but we were there at NYE, and nobody was working on that day. It is indeed 15 minutres from the centre.

Pros: Ahhhm. Not a lot. The wifi was better than some places we’ve been. Private bathroom tidied each day. The staff we approached for help did their best and were mostly friendly. But if you don’t speak any Spanish you’ll have a hard time. Location was ok, about 5 blocks or 15 min walk from centre.

Cons: This place had a rating of 8 when we booked. Not sure how they managed that. Photos made it look far more tidy and inviting than it actually was. It was dark and dingy with a dangerous lack of lighting at night, and messy for the most part with ash trays and empty bottles lying around all over the show. Much like a student flat. The kitchen was run down and filthy and not well equipped as stated. With signs saying the facilities were for ‘restaurant’ use only. Confusing. The fridge was horrendous with old food scattered throughout and water in the bottom somehow. The freezer door was hanging off its hinges. We were reluctant to try cooking in there cause of filth and lack of equipment. Breakfast was indeed 2 stale biscuits (1 biscuit if they’re running low) with a dollop of apricot jam, as mentioned in other reviews. I didn’t believe it at first.. ‘Breakfast’ is also from 8am, too late for many tours you may be doing, even if you do happen to want those biscuits for their calorific value. The room we had, a four bed suite, was tidy enough but the beds were painful after 4 nights, ok for one night I guess. The private bathroom was ok but the shower ran onto the floor so the whole room floor got wet. Not ideal. All the taps I came across leaked and were hard to use cause the washers were all knackered. A plumber could be busy for a month in this place. Meanwhile there are stickers stating to conserve water... Possibly the most annoying thing was that our room only had a multi-board screwed to the wall for power points. Four points on this multi-board and only one of the points worked. The rest were faulty so to charge our devices required taking turns. The points were also well off the ground with nothing to rest your phone on. With some renovations done to address the above issues of disfunction and disrepair and some rules and regulations for messy guests and some policing of said rules, (maybe new management?) this place could be quite nice.

Pros: feels.more.like a hotel.. friendly staff.. clean....nice atmosphere... if u can walk.. is cool because there are markets all around to buy food... the center is 15 blocks.away.. i felt safe.. walking in the streets nearby... clean bathrooms.. my room had cable...ac.. good wifi and cable tv. . plus fan...... good room.good bed .. everything clean and i love that they had many lockers in my room.....all around decent stay...would stay again for sure... friendly professional staff is a plus...

Cons: 11 -15 blocks.walking.distance to the center...breakast is not included unless you pay a bit more ...its not a hostel.. there is no kitchen for anyone to use.. you cant cook there.. There is no kitchen for guest.....one must pay more and they serve food provided by the cooks

Pros: cleanliness... and looks like.a safe place... staff was very profesional and friendly and helpful.. room.was clean and bathrooms were good (clean) it has a good vibe good feeling all around.. and there are windows in rooms with a nice little garden patio.. i liked it. i would stay here again....good vibe all around...close to markets..

Cons: breakfast is included if you pay a little more.. is about 15 blocks walking distance from the center 9 de julio plaza.. still safe to.walk

Pros: Very clean all over. Big bathroom and good bed.

Cons: Unfortunately, it’s a long way from the centre and the terminal. And there is NO kitchen to use.

Pros: Room had a gas heater which was on on my arrival and wow it was hot. Too hot after turning to low, so I kept it off for the remainder of my stay and was a good temperature for me.. Nice to have it though for sure warm is better here than freezing as it's often been where I've stayed! Location is not far but a bit further out from center, but good that it's a quiet area so I find that best for me to walk a short way extra. Staff were friendly and helpful, when I asked for black coffee one morning whilst waiting for my tour they made it as well as hot water for my matte de coca that evening. They arranged laundry for me nearby which was convenient. Seemed a bit expensive at 250pesos for couple of kg, but I've been traveling in Peru and Bolivia so maybe it's standard price here in Argentina The shower was hot and basically worked ok..

Cons: On arrival tried to charge me the additional tax for locals and residents, i politely explained that's not how it works and was ok.. Not sure this was purposefully done or not, it's pretty simple to understand.. Anyway.. The usual lack of toilet paper, soap, towels in the shared bathrooms. The lock to the toilet door was missing by looks of it.. Not just broken. Would be nice to have these simple things really with any accommodation, but seems common in South America. I was pretty sure I had breakfast included for my first night through booking.com for the single room I booked.. But after I enquired what it actually included was just the usual uninteresting bread and jam.. So I thought I'll pass anyway and spend the extra 2$ elsewhere.

Pros: Wifi was fast, bed confortable, quiet location

Cons: They charge us VAT when foreign tourists dont pay VAT în Argentina. Early check out at 10.00 am. Far location from the city center.

Pros: Helpful people

Cons: Showers for the dorms are a mess; only 2 for men's and no separation between them. You can rub you neighbour's back if you want. Once you're out of the shower, you're directly visible to anyone just walking in the corridor. Toilets are not clean. Breakfast is a joke, old bread, jam and powder coffee. The location with the booking app is incorrect.

Pros: Very nice and clean place!

Pros: Great location in the city center. A lot of facilities inside the hostel. They have a sitting area, they have table tennis, a kitchen, enough toilets and a computer available. Easy-going. Nice big building with high ceilings.

Cons: Kitchen needs a good scrub. The hostel has shared rooms so it is normal that you don't have a key, only lockers, but we filled a whole room so would liked to have had a key, just cause it's convenient.
