Design Suites Salta — Hotel in Salta

We had our hotel booked through our travel agent in Australia, stayed 3 nights while visiting the mountains around Salta. First impression was – so much bare concrete, very small reception area and bland bar area. Not a place to sit and have an relaxing evening. Had lunch on our first stay there, loved the old décor but not so much the food, the hamburger and chips were particularly greasy. The breakfast was adequate.||||Although the location is very central, the parking area to drop off passengers from small buses after tours is very difficult with so much traffic in the area.||||The room was large but with so much wasted space. The animal skin chairs were very uncomfortable. The low bench along the wall was wasted, not much use. ||||The bathroom could do with some hanging rails or hooks and maybe a cupboard to put the toilettes in. As someone else mentioned, the elevator is a safety hazard. I was surprised that it was still allowed to be used, maybe in Argentina but certainly not in our country. ||||On the plus side, we found the staff very friendly...

Unfortunately we had to stay here on three separate occasions whilst touring around the Salta area. This hotel is in need of a serious upgrade compared with the other hotels we have stayed in around Argentina.

The breakfast was extremely basic with a very limited choice. |On a positive note the hotel is in a very good location, the staff were very friendly and the rooms were cleaned to a...

What a great location to the center of the city. If you are a walker/hiker as I am, I found the walk to the Teleferic (gondola) to the top of San Bernardo very pleasant as well as the walk to the train station. There are many local restaurants nearby as well as shopping. However, we found our room very noisy but we live in the country so any street noise is annoying. We did not have a coffee maker in our room but found the free breakfast very acceptable. yogurt, granola, eggs, toast, croissants, ham, cheese, coffee, juice, fresh fruit. The biggest problem we encountered was having no hot water to shower with or sometimes just a few moments of hot water. We were also disappointed that the hot tub was empty. We found the staff very kind and helpful. This hotel has seen...
