The Hostelz.com Review - Genuine, independent review you can trust.
Ferienhaus Hostel Salta is located close to the main plaza at the city center and is near Salta's main city attractions. It's clean and formal, and has all the necessary amenities, kitchen, showers, and fast Wi-Fi. Ferienhaus is a good place to stay whilst in Salta.
The Location
The hostel is situated just five minutes' walk from Plaza 9 De Julio, Salta's main plaza at the city center. Other city's attractions or main points like museums, banks, restaurants, or the market Municipal San Miguel are too just a short walk away.
Rooms and Bathrooms
There are many choices for rooms and dorms at Ferienhaus Hostel. Whichever space you choose, you'll find it clean and relatively spacious. The dorm rooms are not cramped and have sturdy beds and spacious lockers. Though beds need to be made yourself and lockers do need a personal lock to be locked. Within the dorms are chairs or cupboards next to each double bed. There are several bathrooms for the guests. They are all clean, have no unpleasant smells, and are looked after to always have soap and toilet paper. The shower cabins are too clean and separated for men and women. Water is quick to warm up and hostel's towels are available for an extra charge.
Common Spaces
Ferienhaus Hostel has a spacious kitchen that is relatively well equipped. Dining area is too spacious and also warm, with option to sit outside or inside. Though breakfast is self-served and very light -- a cup or two of tea/coffee/milk, cornflakes, and few biscuits with marmalade/butter/dulce de leche on the side. At the lounging area there's a TV and few board games. The hostel has also a luggage storage available for guests. Throughout the day music is played and that helps to keep the atmosphere more lively, although it still feels somewhat formal or lacking character. Therefore, Ferienhaus might be more suitable for families or travelers looking to rest. It should be noted that because outside area of the hostel is small, cigarette fumes are often notable.
Summary
Overall, Ferienhaus Hostel Salta is good and reputable guest house that is formally styled, clean, spacious, and well equipped with the necessary essentials such as fast Wi-Fi, hot showers, lockers, and light breakfast. Its slightly elevated base price is reasonable for the amenities and comfort that are offered.
