Hostel Ruta 40

BED BUGS - BEWARE First of all, the hostel itself is actually very nice, the patio was comfortable and kitchen was clean and well equipped. The issue we had was we got really badly bitten by bedbugs in the 6 bed dorm (opening into the courtyard). The receptionist suggested we had brought them into the hostel with us, and wouldn’t refund us for the night we stayed there, despite the fact that we had been camping in national parks for the last week (so no risk of us bringing them with us). We only got bitten on the parts of our bodies we had exposed while sleeping (hands, neck, lower back and face). Secondly, there was a very loud fiesta that began at 2am. Although we were informed they were having a small party that night, they failed to mention it wouldn’t start until 2am after the hostel had well and truly retired for the evening, even though there were signs everywhere saying curfew began at 11:30pm. The fiesta went until 4am, and was extremely loud. This was just our experience, and if it wasn’t for the bed bug incident and the fiesta, I’m sure it would have been a great experience for the price ($6000 pesos)

Mold all through the room and bathroom in our private room. When we brought it up the staff was unhelpful. We left after one night due to the health concern and didn't get a full refund for the remaining 2 nights we had booked. We looked in a few of the dorm style rooms and they looked to be in better shape.

Really lovely place with a great hostel vibe. Great common areas, with music playing all the time and a chance to grab a beer, cook together or just chat with other travellers. Staff is really friendly and helpful, rooms are spacious and comfortable with large lockers and en-suite bathrooms. Location is perfect. I will definitely be back if I'm ever in Cafayate again.

Great hostel right in the centre of Cafayate. Pretty courtyard, good showers and decent beds. Great value for the price!

Located just a short walk away from the main plaza. Cozy little hostel with kitchen included. Breakfast is pretty basic offering freshly baked bread and a range of spreads. Free water refills available. The only thing I didn’t appreciate was the rude reception lady that was constantly yelling and pestering us to check out even though we still had 15 minutes to spare!

Nice little hostel, beds are fine, clean bathroom and everything, nice staff, nice locations, but no ac and breakfast is bread only reason it is not a 5 star

The place was close to the plaza the stuff is really nice and friendly will help you out with what they can I only wanted to stay for 2 nights and I extended more, nice vibe

Nice little hostel. We payed 350 Pesos for a dorm bed. Breakfast included. Very friendly staff
