• Pablo (10/5): - Excelente hostal, cómodo y con muy buena ubicación. Tiene todo lo necesario (heladera, cocina y utensilios) para pasar una estadía confortable. También tiene un patio muy lindo. Marcelo, el dueño, es un genio siempre con muy buena predisposición para ayudar en lo que necesites. Lo recomiendo y volvería a hospedarme sin ninguna duda.

• C (10/5): Marcello the owner of the property was sooo kind and generous and helpful to me, especially as i was traveling with a pa - Really nice facility with outside area as well as indoor seating for meals. A really great kitchen and even lounge area to relax. Love the cat Roger that lives there, was very cute keeping me company every night in room 9 -claimed the top bunk as his! Hehe Shame the pool was deflated as was looking forward to using that, but as it was apparently summer over it was down.

• Ariel (10/5): - Un lugar muy lindo y con muy buena gente, dan ganas de regresar
• Ramiro (7/5): Buen lugar para unas noches - La verdad es que por lo que vale (un poco más que un Hostel, es habitación doble con baño privado), televisión por cable, tiene cocina con TV, heladera comunitaria, wifi que funciona bien, pero le falta mantenimiento y mucho, la ducha se le sale la canilla, uno no entra en la ducha, pero relación calidad precio, está bien. También Tiene pileta (tipo Pelopincho) y parrillita, con un patio al fondo. Cabe descartar la atención de marcelo a la hora de hospedarnos y sugerir actividades en la ciudad Le falta un poco de mantenimiento

• Joanna (10/5): - Nous avons été superbement accueillis par Marcelo qui a toujours été présent quand nous avions besoin ! Nous avons pu avoir accès à la chambre plus tôt que prévu, ce qui était très appréciable après un long voyage. Marcelo nous a également fait découvrir le mate, la boisson très répandue ici en Argentine. Merci pour tout !

• mendez (10/5): - Llegamos a Hostal Namaste el día 14 alrededor de las 5am. Nos recibió Marcelo, al día siguiente después de descansar nos brindó información y siempre predispuesto a atender cualquier duda. El Hostal posee una cocina compartida en la que podes interactuar con el resto de los pasajeros (si lo deseas) que por suerte fueron todos muy buena onda. Volviendo al Hostal, las camas son muy cómodas, el lugar es limpio y su personal muy amable. Lo recomiendo!!!

• Amar (10/5): Exceptional - Owner/host was incredibly helpful despite my late arrival Nothing
• Sikharulidze (10/5): Great stay – Marcelo is the best! - We had a twin room with a private external bathroom – very clean and comfortable. The garden was lovely, and the neighborhood felt peaceful and safe. Marcelo was incredibly kind and helpful, always making us feel welcome. The kitchen could use a few upgrades, but overall, a great experience!
• Anonymous (10/5): Excelente - Todo en general
• Paolo (9/5): Superb -
• Grid (6/5): Good value but in need of some maintenance. - Quite handy to centrum; private rooms good for privacy and security; pool in the yard for cooling off; external door key Cleaning and maintenance need a boost.
• Lizzy (6/5): Good basic hostel - Good value for money. Nice little garden with a barbecue. The place is a bit run down, a lot of stuff needs to be fixed but wasn’t.
• Kevin (8/5): Very good -
• Luuk (8/5): Very good - The nicest hostel owner I've met! Basic, but sufficient facilities and rooms. Nice chill garden
• Melissa (9/5): Superb - We had a lovely stay here. The facilities are fairly basic but it has everything you need, the back garden and pool are a really fantastic addition to this hostel, sitting in the back garden in the evenings was perfect, we were even allowed to play our own music through the speakers. What really makes this hostel a worthwhile stay is the lovely owner, who will go out of his way to ensure you have a comfortable stay. Despite the language barrier with our poor Spanish, we were still able to have a chat and laugh with him. Thank you very much!
• Daniel (10/5): Go here! The owner is amazing! - We had an amazing time at Hostal Namaste! The staff, especially the owner was extremely friendly, offered us loads of advice on our first time in Argentina! The cat was extremely cute and the rooms were comfortable! We loved our stay and the price was amazing! The showers were maybe a bit too small for a tall European but they were warm so what can we complain about!! Mosquito net on the window has a gap so some mosquitos got in but again a tiny complaint
• Charlene (9/5): Superb - A warm greating from the host. He was really helpful for our request, from finding a spot to park the car, to laundry and late check out for our flight. Refreshing to have acces to a little pool in the patio when its a heavy hot day in town. The tv was outdated. Couldn't watch netflix without hdmi cable of something of that kind.
• Kelvin (8/5): Very good -
• Merijn (8/5): Marcello is a great guy who wants to help and is a nice guy to talk to. Great place overall! - The owner, Marcello We didnt have airconditioning, only a fan. So that could be better. Kitchen is average as well, knifes could be better.
• Gail (7/5): Glad I was only able to reserve 1 night - Available. Cheap. Knowledge of the owner/manager Marcelo. It’s not the cleanest of places I’ve stayed. The bathroom/shower situation is pretty cramped with an unreliable lock. The kitchen, meh. I’d prob stay somewhere else if it’s available.
• Karine (8/5): Very good - For the price and location great place as we were 4 friends travelling. Nice and safe.
• Victoria (7/5): Good - Super friendly place. Very flexible hosts. When I was ill, ye man offered me to call him any day or night if I needed taking to medical centre which was super sweet No air-con and it was HOT
• Cecchi (7/5): Good -
• Anthony (8/5): Very good -
• Elena (10/5): Exceptional - Great hostel in Salta. Located on a calm street, a few minutes away from the main square. They have all amenities I needed: kitchen, fast wifi, good clean shower and a comfortable bed. The room doesn’t get too hot even in summer. The owner is the sweetest person on Earth! He made my stay very comfortable and helped with some problems I had. He even invited me to his home to eat freshly made empanadas! When you are traveling alone, feeling welcome is very important. Thank you!
• Louis (10/5): Exceptional - Awsome affordable hostel ! The guy who ownes it makes the stay extra special and will go out of his way to make you feel at home!
• Pauric (8/5): Very good - The owner is super nice! Check in really quick and explained everything really well. Hostel is less than a 10 minute walk to the main square and has restaurants and shops really close by.
• Paolo (9/5): Nice hostel in a nice location - It is a quiet and nice hostel in a good location, walking distance from center, central market, parks and bus terminal. The room is fresh and quiet, the kitchen is spacious (with a dining area) and there is a nice internal garden. Also the internet is good. Shower space is too small, near the toilet bowl
• David (9/5): Cheap and cheerful - The manager was friendly and tried to accommodate me as much as possible with the hot outside temperatures.
• Naomi (6/5): I stayed for one night before a very early flight. The owner was extremely helpful and nice. - It was inexpensive It was not in a good state of repair and needs attention. It could be so much better if it had a lick of paint and the tiles on the ceiling were fixed. The garden and reception also need tidying up and the kitchen had one teaspoon. However, the price was very reasonable for a room with shared bathroom as I didn’t want a dormitory bed.
• Ka (7/5): Good - The boss was very helpful and very nice Had few mosquitos in the room, little bit old, but it's ok
• Lynda (10/5): Like home. - The staff was very accommodating and kind. It was all great.
• Ona (7/5): Good - The nicest owner! He was really helpful when feeling sick :). It’s also nice to sit outside, a quiet place in the city. Very small bathroom/shower.
• Emilie (8/5): Very good - Very welcoming atmosphere. The host was very nice and really helpful.
• Matias (10/5): Exceptional - The owner Marcelo is so nice.
• Sonia (10/5): Exceptional - EXCELENTE ATENCION
• Jessica (8/5): Very good - Really lovely friendly hosts and the garden at the back is lovely The shared bathrooms are tiny so it's a little bit difficult to shower and there are no hooks for your towel
• Atara (10/5): It was a nice staying but only for sleeping - The owner is very nice. Happy to help. Bed not really comfortable. Its pretty cold at night during winter with only one heating block in the other side of the room
• Deng (9/5): Superb - Good price, probably one of the best in booking. The room come with small heater, and reception are kind enough, free kitchen to use and not far from central A bit old and dirty outside of the room
• Victoria (7/5): Good for a short stay - Lovely manager and good priced private room, nice hot showers Pretty basic facilities were fine for one night
• Karen (6/5): Pleasant - Staff are very friendly. Kitchen is nice. Quiet and good location for the price. The room also had a radiator which was great for the cold nights. There was black mold on the ceiling in my bathroom and my room smelled of damp.
• Lucius (8/5): Very good - Cosy little place with a very friendly host
• Marcel (6/5): Pleasant - The owner was very friendly. The kitchen was wel equipped. Not to far from the city center. The lack of sunlight in the room (and Hostal in general) made it a bit depressing. The staff watched a football match late in the evening and they were pretty loud.
• Mini_traveller92 (7/5): Is not bad - Beds were comfy, staff were nice. Good kitchen. Its a quiet hostel, mainly local travellers Bathroom a little small but clean
• Rachael (6/5): Pleasant - couldn’t fault the staff they were amazing helping us sort hire car and other things. stay was very very basic though
• Shira (3/5): Poor - The location was nice, the kitchen was okay. The shower had bad water pressure. The room was safocating. The owners was really not nice, and made bad atmosphere at the hostel.
• Mark (6/5): Good location but strict owner - The location was good and walkable to many places, and the place was clean and presentable. The owner did help with booking a taxi too. Before arriving, we asked the guy if we can use the wahing machine (as it is listed on the available facilities). He responded with 'only one wash for every three days'. As we were staying 2 nights, 3 days, this seemed to meet the criteria, so we booked. When we arrived and asked about it, he said usually only peole staying 3 nights can use it, but we can use it anyway. When we went to use it, he was very strict on how much we could put in, even adding the small things like underwear. He told us to go to the local lavenderia if we wanted to add any more. As we had just come back from the salt flats, we wanted to rinse the salt out of our shoes and asked for a bucket, rather than using the shower. He declined and said to go to a lavenderia which was pointless because all we needed was a rinse. The bathrooms were very small and always had a broom/rag in the shower too. Overall the stay was okay but just felt like 'dad was always watching'.
• Ria (10/5): nice family Hostal in salta - it’s a family Hostal with a lot of personality and kindness from the owner. the little garden is nice to chill. the price and the room are worthwhile, I will definitely stay again! the bathroom is small but it is okay because the hot water heater works
• John (10/5): Exceptional - A great little hostel 10-12 minutes walk from the 9 July Square, even less to shops & eateries. It has all you need: garden, plunge pool, kitchen, quiet areas, wifi. Everything works very well! To top it off, Marcelo is a great host!
• Fleur (5/5): Passable - the location is reasonable, just 7 blocks from the main square, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. the garden is also pleasant. the place needs a complete revamp. Toilets and showers are tiny with nowhere to put your stuff. The rooms are dated and need AC, new mattresses and pillows, and paint, and have very little ventilation and are really hot. Common areas not very inviting.
• Luisa (9/5): Awesome! - Staying at Namaste was a very welcoming experience with a kind host and lovely housing. The pool was nice to cool down, the patio was great and the location of the hostel was perfect to explore Salta. Would definitely recommend! There was no AC.
• Leah (8/5): Very good - private room was affordable, nice staff, cute garden area but could do with some tlc. walls were thin, could hear next door snoring. facilities were a little basic
• Anonymous (4/5): Disappointing - The host was welcoming It was outdate and not clean. The shower and toilet are in the same space, very small. The stay turned out to be more expensive as the owner charges additional 21 percent to the costs. Booking could not give us clarity if this was what we needed to pay. To still enjoy our evening we just payed. As it was our first day in Argentina we did not know if the owner was right, however now we know that he should have not charged us additional. We would not go again.
