The Hostelz.com Review - Genuine, independent review you can trust.
Hostel De La Linda is a basic accommodation, close to the plaza in Salta.
The Location
Hostel De La Linda is a basic hostel about a kilometre from the central plaza in Salta. It is also approximately two kilometres from the bus station, to which you can walk in half an hour or take a taxi or local bus.
Rooms and Bathrooms
The rooms here are basic with a mix of single, bunk, and double beds in most of the rooms. The beds have older mattresses but are still comfortable and have older blankets and sheets that are clean.
There are multiple bathrooms throughout the hostel, which means that you never have to wait, as there is always one free. Each bathroom contains a toilet, shower, and sink. They are kept clean and the showers have a decent amount of hot water and water pressure.
Common Spaces
While this isn't exactly the most social of hostels, there are a couple of different areas where you can hang out and meet people. They have a central patio area, which has tables and chairs and umbrellas for shade in an outside setting. There is also the kitchen area, which is really big and contains a long table at the centre of the room where people can hang out and chat and eat their meals. You can use the kitchen to cook if you're on a budget and it contains everything you should need for cooking. They do serve breakfast here in the mornings, however, it isn't included as a part of the stay but is offered for a very low cost.
Summary
This hostel is good if you're looking for somewhere to get a bit of peace and quiet and chill out for a while. The Wi-Fi is better in the reception area and at times can be patchy or nonexistent in the rooms, depending on which part of the hostel you are staying in. There is security on the front door and you need to buzz to get them to let you in, so late nights are not too much of an option here. The staff are polite, relaxed, and helpful and can give you advice on things to do in the area and where to find the things you need during your stay.
