"We stayed in the hotel days ago, just checked out. The hotel staff have been very warm and helpful, especially Maxi. My husband had a slight accident, resulting quite a nasty cut around his knee. Maxi offered us antiseptic solution , bandage etc. Also the restaurant is opened 24/7 and you can help yourself with tea and coffee . Breakfast is buffet style and it’s more than sufficient. If we happen to be at Salta again, we will come back here to stay. Location is excellent as well and it’s good value for money ."
