Hostel Ruta 40 is a couple of blocks from the main square and just a few minutes walk from the bus terminal (its a very small town so nothing is far away). The hostel itself is really nice, the 6 bed dorm had plenty of room with lockers for valuables and private bathroom. They serve breakfast each morning in a... More

Booked as a walk-in. Staff were very friendly. Good choice of rooms and quiet courtyard. We were allocated a room with a bunk and HUGE king size bed. The location is within easy reach of the main square.

No complaints here. We rocked up without a reservation and were greeted by a super friendly reception guy. No problem getting a room. It was nothing special but it was clean and big. Staff are great. You can rent decent bikes here too. Good cooking facilities also. Nice wine selection and bar. You are not allowed to bring your own... More

My boyfriend & I recently stayed in Hostel Ruta 40 in Cafayate. We only stayed one night but were greeted by the friendly host. We took a double room which was only 80 pesos per person. It's located right off the central square and you are in walking distance to many wine bodegas. The room was huge with a king... More

Arrived in town after a horrendously windy cycle and needed a decent rest. I had initially planned on staying elsewhere, but due to said hostels lack of maps - I stayed here instead. I had only intended on staying for 1 night, but enjoyed the hostel enough to stay another day. Received a very warm welcome and a quick run... More

Spent two nights in Cafayate, an amazing little place! Stayed here for two nights. The lady at the counter had NO english at all and even though she knew we had no spanish watsoever, insisted on speaking spanish to us! We hired bikes the second day, one of the bikes had a flat tyre so she had to source one... More

We booked this hostal online and apparently the hostal owner had made a mistake when publishing the prices. This meant that for the one night we only paid 24 ARS about 4 euros making our average nightly price about 10 euros (60 ARS) per person. In any case the hostal honoured this price (after a very short confrontation where suddenly... More

We used one of the private rooms with bath here. The rooms were small and somewhat rundown -- you can see more detail about that on my travel blog, http://paulalanlevy.blogspot.com/2012/04/dramatic-drive-from-salta-to-cafayate.html -- and I found it a bit odd for a hostel that the VERY skimpy breakfast starts so late. (Details on that are here: http://paulalanlevy.blogspot.com/2012/04/dramatic-drive-from-salta-to-cafayate.html). But the housing was just... More

Although this hostel was very quiet while I was there, it was just fine! It had good showers, nice staff, breakfast, and clean. They will organize tours for you and help you out if you need it. Would stay there again if I go back. There is so much to do early in the mornings around Salta that it is... More
