We stayed here only for one night in double room with private bathroom for 120 Arg Pesos. When we walked into the room, the room had not been cleaned from the guests before. The toilet fell apart as well. The breakfast was normal for a hostal in Argentina. Instant coffee and some cereal.
The next night we stayed in Residencial Elena which was much cleaner, closer to the center and had a breakfast included (in a nearby restaurant).

This place is clean and conveniently located a few blocks from the bus station. Backyard patio is nice and relaxing. Staff was polite but not friendly. I paid 35 pesos for a dorm- which i think is a pretty good value.

Incredible this hostel, is like the owner and staff always trying to make the place confortable and funny. They made barbecues and all kind of natural actions so as to uniify the guests as if we were a family, so after some days there is like a real family of guests staff owners hahaha it was very funny

I stayed at Inti Huasi on three occasions, staying in and coming and going from Salta. The staff members were absolutely excellent and deserve 6 stars out of 5, as does the asado (not just meat, but all sorts of grilled vegetables and salad and wine), which they supposedly hold Wednesdays and Sundays but really only hold on these days when there are enough people in the hostel. Considering the amount of foot traffic and people who choose to hang around the hostel (there's something very nice about it that just grows on you), it's amazingly clean.

Unfortunately, I can't give it a stronger recommendation because of the persistent amount of smoke in the place from both staff members and guests lighting up in violation of both posted signs and Argentinian law. The odor was so strong that on one occasion, after sitting at one of the very handy free computers, my shirt stank of nicotine within minutes despite the smoker being in the next room. Coupled with the fact that neither my bed nor quality of sleep were particularly good (it's not a party hostel, but a hostel where people stay who go to party if that makes sense), I can't recommend it unreservedly, although I'd like to, only to someone with a tolerance for smoke.
