Guest Reviews
- Pereyra (1/5): La dueña - La dueña ya que la dueña alquila por mes y pone a la gente que vive hay con la gente que llega de visita por estadía corta no respetan las reglas andan sin ropa en lugares comunes horrible experiencia
- Luis Alberto (10/5): -
- Gimena (6/5): - La entrada. Las habitaciones tienen un olor a sucio.
- Mely Saucedo (2/5): - No respetan las leyes argentinas respecto al IVA. Los extranjeros que pagan con tarjeta extranjera por ley no pagan el 21% de IVA y ellos igual te lo cobran. Incluso en el anuncio y correo de confirmacion de Booking está claramente establecido. Como me negué a pagarlo, me dijeron que cancelara la reserva.

- Mathias Valente (8/5): -
- Lorena Paola (10/5): MI SALVACIÓN - Excelente atención y calidad del personal, almuerzo, cenas, desayunos y meriendas exquisitas.. las cocineras son un amor!! Y tienen unas manos increíbles que se reflejan en los platos. La comodidad de las camas individuales y las compartidas son un mil!! Increíbles, la ubicación del hostel es perfecta, en pleno centro de Salta, a la vuelta de la Balcarce. La dueña es muy amorosa, carismática y simpática. Los empleados son lo más!! No me alcanzan las palabras para describir que fue mi salvación!!
- Arancibia (9/5): - Tiene aire, es amplio, buena cama, buen ventanal, ducha bien
- Maxi (10/5): -
- Clara (6/5): -
- Creado (5/5): - La ubicación Las habitaciones estan en un edificio de departamentos que queda al lado. Habia mal olor y gente viviendo permanentemente en el departamento.
- Rodrigo (5/5): -
- Alba (7/5): - La ubicación Algo ruidoso de noche. Pero mi estancia coincidió con el fin de semana de carnaval así que supongo que fue por eso.
No es para socializar mucho, si viajas solx y es lo que buscas, ya que no hay cocina y las camas son tipo cápsulas.
A pesar de todo esto, estuve agusto.
- Jose (10/5): -
- Sartini (10/5): Hogar - Muy Hermoso hostal y amplia habitación como un mono ambiente!!! Excelente ubicacion, gracias 🙌
- Lourdes (3/5): - Buena ubicación, podés comer en el lugar Poca limpieza
En un baño no funcionaba el inodoro y el otro no tenía agua.
- Bell (4/5): - The place to sleep is comfortable Cold water, no dishes, no clean space, people with bad education. Bad place to stay
Believe the reviews is not good at all
It was really disappointed
- Marie (8/5): -
- Urtado lopez (5/5): Me gustó Fue muy Lindo - Me gustó como es por dentro No me gustó el Dueño después la Resepcionita 10 puntos , también no Me Gustó que los Enchufes no hay el Enchufe Redondito , solo era el de 3 patas por toda la habitaciones y por toda la casa Ninguno tenía para el Conector redondito , después Me gustó Muchoo Muy tranquilo Equilibrado , solo Esoo Después la Pasé Bien ☺️

- Baron (6/5): -
- Leandro (9/5): -
- Jesus (10/5): Excelente lugar y ubicación - Ubicación y precio No tenía tele pero precio mejor q cualquiera
- Dana (10/5): - The place is ultra clean and it has a restaurant inside in case you are too bussy or lazy to go outside ;).
The location is great, within walking distance from main square and just one block away from the train station! you can easily commute everywhere, also, near the bus that takes you to the beautiful hiking route in San Lorenzo.
If you feel like having some drinks, you are half a block away from"Balcarce Street".

- Ansa (6/5): - La ubicación y el estilo antiguo La falta de limpieza y mantenimiento.
- Andru Vazquez (7/5): Ventilar mejor los ambientes - Excelente ubicación, instalaciones limpias Mucho olor a tabaco en la habitación
- Nuñez (2/5): Muy mala experiencia - La habitación amplia, el espacio común parecía agradable. La atención muy amable. En ningún momento me dijeron que a partir de las 00hs cerraban sus puertas.!!
Llegue pasada la media noche, estaba todo cerrado y nadie atendía, ni por el contacto, ni en el lugar.
Tuvimos que buscar otro lugar y volver a gastar para hospedarnos.
DOBLE GASTO POR MALA COMUNICACIÓN
- Mariana (10/5): -
- Maria Eugenia (7/5): - La ubicación ante todo y la cama, en mi caso doble. El área compartida es linda. Falta de limpieza de los artefactos de uso común. No tiene cortinas en la habitación que da al patio y se ve todo. Las habitaciones un poco desprolijas/descuidadas.
- Valérie (6/5): - Le personnel est agréable. Les chambres capsules sont confortables et pratiques avec les rangements.
L'entrée du batiment est splendide. Les salles de bain sont vraiment en mauvaise état.
Ce qui est encore plus dommage quand on voit l'architecture et la déco de l'établissement; il y a un gros potentiel.
- Cloe (10/5): - La buena gente, el patio y la tranquilidad
- Sandra (10/5): - Super schöne Location mit ganz viel Sitzmöglichkeiten im Freien, vielen Bädern und einem wunderschönen Ambiente! Kann ich nur empfehlen!
- Ruben (9/5): -
- de Gomar Gómez (10/5): -
- Lucas (10/5): -
- Alicia (6/5): -
- Valeria (9/5): - La ubicación es excelente, podes salir a caminar tranquilamente, si contratas servicio de excursiones pasan por la puerta, tiene todo lo esencial para un buen descanso, dejar tus cosas seguras y lo mejor de todo es la comida, menú variado, alimentos frescos, porciones abundantes y riquísimos para finalizar un día de paseo recomiendo comer ahí, muy buen ambiente!
- Vasquez (4/5): -
- Ekaterina (10/5): - Excelente ubicación para salida nocturna
- Urbani (8/5): - Cama muy cómoda No había recepcionista al momento del chek out pero me lo solucionaron rápidamente. No hubo inconvenientes
- christine (5/5): - L'entrée est belle mais ça s'arrête là !!! Tout dans la chambre est bancal, tous les robinets fuient et un rafraîchissement serait plus qu'utile !
- Sidan (8/5): -
- Diego (10/5): Excelente atención - El personal
- Sammy Asbel (8/5): Satisfechos, precio Calidad - Su fachada, la ubicación no está tan céntrico pero si accesible a pie a varios lugares, tren de las nubes, cerca de restantes, relativamente cerca del cerro san berbardo La infraestructura de la habitación, a pesar de mantener su estructura antigua, se podría mantener con mejor aspecto, pero solo es un detalle
- Ka (9/5): Superb -
- Stefania (6/5): Pleasant -
- Nick (8/5): Very good - My stay here was excellent. The room and bed I was staying in was very comfortable and there's a nice outdoor area to chill in. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and we're accommodating to our every request. For how cheap it is, I felt I got great value for money staying here.
- Lewis (10/5): Exceptional -
- Yonatan (1/5): Bad - I stuck outside the hostel for the whole night
No one come to open to me
I slept on the street on a night I paid
- Alina (5/5): Passable - the house is beautiful doing checkout was really difficult because tha gates of the property were unlocked at 9am, not any earlier. almost got late for the bus i booked because i couldnt get contact to the staff.
the curtains of the capsules could be thicker
the room was loud and the staff didnt do anything to prevent it
- Marlo (7/5): Cheap hostel, good to meet new people, - Beautiful old building and pretty cheap There is no kitchen, it isn’t very clean, can be pretty cold in the winter
- Chanpreet (10/5): Exceptional -
- Bhegyeshalmi (9/5): Superb - The staff was very friendly and helped me, when I asked about how to get to places by public transportation. I slept very well. Would stay again.
- Ana (1/5): Completely full and honest review. - POSITIVE ONLY IS THAT THEY HAVE WIFI and it is a somewhat CENTRAL LOCATION. The bed is FIRM and comfortable for those that sleep on their back. The bottom sheets are fine but the doona/cover makes my skin itchy and it looks so old and not sure if clean or when it was last washed..
The capsule bed space has a locked shelf so you can put your stuff inside and lock it with your own small padlock. it also has a curtain for some privacy, its somewhat sheer so you can see who is outside. the bedspace also has its own light and ONE powerpoint to charge your phone. no direct USB port. you would need an international converter plug. The showers have a soap dispenser but no liquid soap, its empty. no mention of towels or offering one.
The bathrooms are OPEN, there is no DOOR, NO PRIVACY.. they overlook the restaurant and tables outside, the toilets ofcourse have a door, but are so so noisy and make an awful sound when you open and close it, needs to get fixed.
One of the sinks in the bathroom LEAKS, the floor had water puddles when you turn on the tap. Its very uncomfortable trying to wash hands or use the tap whilst the public is looking at you and walking past....
they have an electric kettle but no mugs.
they have a water filter for hot and cold water but again, no cups or mugs on site.
tourists beware : 5000 pesos CASH for the KEY/ DAMAGES DEPOSIT.
The bed i got given didnt specify how many people in the room. i shouldve checked! 18 people. 4800 pesos per person for one night.
Keep in mind that this is a hostel inside a restaurant... the customer service wasnt the best. was kept waiting when reaching out to the hostel staff. They didnt offer to write a tax invoice or hand written receipt as proof I had stayed in the hostel and paid X amount of CASH - instead they said they would send it via whatsapp, which they NEVER did. They told me when i checked in that their eftpos machine BROKE and they only accept cash. yeah right! all business do that, so easy to say it broke and they get cash. they also use a specific argentinean bank to get their daily rates... i used google and i thought it was 3800 pesos, but she said no, its 4800 pesos... very unhappy customer. would not sleep here again.
- Roger9898 (1/5): Scammers: a terrible experienxe - Nothing On Airbnb, Google and via the phone it was confirmed that I could bring my dog which I need to bring since I travel with him. After the booking, the staff told me that the owner changed her mind and didn't want to receive the dog. That's okay of course. The problem started when I asked them to cancel the booking. Like a child they ignored me and didn't want to cancel the booking. After writing a honest review about that the place is not pet friendly, they suddenly replied to my message. They want me to delete my review about the reality that the place is not pet friendly. I don't think I can get my money back. Just a bunch of malandros who cannot communicate in a professional way and who also keep your money. Besides that, when you make the reservation via Airbnb, you can stay with your dog they told me. I don't want to lose more money since you're staying with malandros. In the pictures you can see more.
- María (8/5): Very good - Friendly staff, pod beds, and probably the cheapest hostel in Salta Restaurant is right in front of the dormitory doors and it closes by 1 am. Toilets are shared with the restaurant.
- Banan314 (6/5): Pleasant - It's a few squares from plaza de 9 julio, which is the main square of the city. Potable water was free from the machine and there is a restaurant inside the hotel. I had a scorpio under my mattress. It came out, I sprayed it and it went back underneath.
- Marco (2/5): Very poor -
- Anonymous (1/5): Stay away from it. - Nothing. If you care about the quality, I suggest you to stay away from this property. The given room, with its bathroom, was full of mold and humid. The wood access door had a big noticeable crack by which made it hard for the heater to heat the room. I wish I could post images of what I describe here. We found a big spider in the room on top of the bed of my daughter. At a first glance, you realize that these folks don’t invest enough in maintenance of the facilities.
In addition, a few days before arrival, but after the cancellation period expired, they called requiring a partial payment in advance to secure the reservation, which I tried to refuse since I had my card in booking securing the reservation. But they told me that if I don’t make the payment in advance I might get charged in US dollars rather than local currency, at a higher rate than the one set in booking. I never knew if that was true because didn’t want to take the risk.
Honestly, I think booking should monitor much closer what properties are listed in it and what type of service the give to the guests. They are not cheap at all compared to other properties and the quality is very low.
- Iara (6/5): Pleasant -
- Marlo (9/5): Would recommend It - Beautiful building in the heart of salta, nice people No lockers
- Nicholas (7/5): Good -
- Martina (9/5): Superb - Nice quiet hostel, simple breakfast, very big rooms and plenty of space to relax just one block away from nice Penas - restaurants with local food, dance, and other performances.
Definitely worth the little cost they charge per night ! :)
- Roos (7/5): Good - The place looks amazing and there is plenty of space to sit outside.
The rooms are quite big and comfortable.
After check-out they let me stay for the whole day because my bus left at night.
Breakfast is okay. Showers are not very comfortable.
I missed a kitchen.
I could only pay in cash.
- Nina (8/5): Very good - Beautiful building, good breakfast, good location The beds are quite small
- Chelsea (10/5): I would never stay anywhere else in Salta. I love El Chabot. - The two outstanding things about El Chabot are the architecture and the location. I love the building, patio, garden, high ceilings, etc. And I went to the Tren to the Nubes and Las Peñas nearby. No privacy in the showers. The tile work is pretty but nowhere to hang your clothes while shower or privacy when changing your clothes.
- Sara (6/5): Pleasant -
- Daphne (4/5): Disappointing - I didn’t feel comfortable staying at this hostel: there was a someone living in this hostel in my room, who was drunk all the time and his bed was also really dirty. So I didn’t feel safe. Luckily I could move to another room after I asked for it, but they gave me a top bunkbed that was really unstable. The manager told me to watch out sleeping in this bed as well, as it was so unstable.
- Jodie (8/5): Gorgeous place; a bit dysfunctional. - It's an incredibly beautiful old building being worked on constantly. The two main women at reception were wonderful and helpful, and the waiter very sweet. Happy for the fan in the dorm. Good breakfast included, tho when the coffee machine broke they only offered instant. Small tables for dorm people were hardly ever wiped off; garbage cans in the dorm were not emptied. They allowed a "local" (?) to live there & basically party loudly with his friends; he was up at all hours with drugs & drink - - I believe it was him who stole my beer out of the common fridge (inside my bag with other food!) Lots of mosquitos in the tiny boxes for the toilets for dorms.
- James (8/5): Very good - Very nice hostel vibes, good breakfast There's a few people who stay there regularly, and they tend to party and drink a lot, so don't expect quiet anytime before midnight. The beds feel like they could break at any moment. Any movement by your bunk mate feels like an earthquake. The rooms are stiflingly hot, and only one fan and no windows able to open in the first room. The bathrooms and showers are infested with mosquitoes
- Jacob (8/5): Very good - Location close to all highlights
- Benoit (7/5): Good -
- David (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jessica (1/5): Bad - Lack of cleanliness, we had mould in our room, bathrooms were not clean, in most cases no toilet paper. Breakfast was really basic. Would recommend to stay here!!!
- Richard (10/5): Exceptional -
