How is 7 Duendes Base rated?

7 Duendes Base Reviews

7 Duendes Base hostel is located just outside the city center of Salta and is home to many backpackers. It features Wi-Fi connection, hot showers, kitchen facilities, breakfast, and spacious lockers. The hostel itself is spacious too, with relatively large outside common area and kitchen.

The Location

7 Duendes is situated around a fifteen-minute walk from the main city plaza and just a five-minute walk from Salta's park region. Nearby the hostel are many bakeries, shops, hair salons, and many other services. Therefore the location of 7 Duendes Base is relatively good.

Rooms and Bathrooms

There many options for dorm rooms in this hostel, however, the majority of them are cramped and have just basic beds, a table with a chair, a cupboard, two power outlets, and lockers. It should be noted that your bed needs to be made up by you. Moreover, the rooms look plain and have truly seen better days. Although the highlight of the dorms are their spacious lockers that are big enough that you could fit yourself. Just like for the rooms, there are more than one option for the bathrooms. All of them are equipped with hot-water-running showers, a sink, and one toilet. They are all relatively clean.

Common Spaces

Another plus for 7 Duendes Base is their spacious yard with the common area. Here you can rest in an armchair, enjoy a meal at the table, or lie on the grass during hot days. Likewise, the kitchen is spacious too and also well equipped, which would be another plus for those who like to cook. However, the Wi-Fi at 7 Duendes hostel is slow; it's definitely good enough for messaging and simple browsing, but it might be an issue for watching videos or for those traveling with a computer. Furthermore, there's only one free power outlet outside and it has been so much used that a typical plug almost falls out.

Even though the majority of guests are young, the atmosphere here is low, likely due to unenthusiastic receptionists and plain hostel design and surroundings. Lastly, the noise policy does not seem to be maintained here, which could be taken as a plus for those who like to party or a big minus who come to rest.

Summary

All in all, 7 Duendes Base hostel is nothing spacial and should be ok for a few nights' stay. The spacious common area, well-equipped and large kitchen, and light breakfast included in the price more or less balance out the slow Wi-Fi, poor dorm rooms, and low atmosphere. To add to that, the price of a night's stay is an average too. Thus overall the place gets an average/below average rating.
