Hotel La Candela

We stayed at La Candela over 12 years ago, and had no hesitation in rebooking for a longer stay this time. It’s located just 4 or 5 blocks away from Plaza 9 de Julio, this charming town’s main square. This is a small hotel with not many rooms and this time we traded up to a junior suite (which is well-worth the small extra expense). Our room was spacious, overlooking Pueyrredón, with a king-size double, a sink in the room (useful), with shower/loo/bidet in separate room. Plentiful hot water (though water tended to leak over the bathroom floor!). Reasonable clothes storage space. The safe was an old-fashioned box with a key and although spacious, not big enough for a laptop. Fridge in the room too. Being Brits, we appreciated the electric kettle, plus cups and tea bags (though why the cups had no handles was a bit weird).|Being such a small hotel, don’t expect the lavish breakfast spreads you get in the larger hotels. It’s a more restricted choice here which was OK but you can order eggs cooked however you like. Stranglely, the breakfast tables were laid with the bare minimum of cutlery and crockery, with no spares obviously available if, for example, you needed an extra spoon or plate.|The reception staff were always friendly and helpful.|If we were to return to Salta again, we’d look nowhere else – we’d stay at La Candela.

Very beautiful and cozy place. Although, rooms needs some touch up (more bathrooms), still is very welcoming. If you just want to chill in the garden then this is the right place! It’s not big but very pretty with small pool and beautiful plants. Loved it!

We had a very comfortable 3 night stay in early November '23. The first floor front room (junior suite) was clean, comfortable and spacious with a good bathroom. There was a safe, TV and minibar. The breakfasts were very good, including eggs made to order. You can also buy drinks (very reasonable beer price).. the kind reception staff brought beers to us in the lovely garden. The garden, shaded patio and pool area were an absolute delight for relaxation in hot weather. Thank you to all the staff at reception and the kitchen for a great stay.

The hotel is quite recent, and it was obtained from a private residence. It retains some of the features, such as hardwood and ceramic floors. It is tastefully decorated in an elegant local style. There is a private garden and a small pool. It is smack in the centre of salta. Has a private garage free of charge. Staff is very polite and friendly.

Hotel La Candela is located in the centre of Salta at 2 km of the bus-terminal. The hotel offers 12 rooms over 2 floors, indoor parking, a nice city-garden & outdoor pool, a lounge & breakfast room. The hotel is charming and well maintained. Free Wi-Fi. Friendly and helpful staff.||||La Candela applies two different rates. Argentineans can pay in ARS, foreigners are charged in USD. We insisted to pay in ARS. As a result a weird calculation was presented. The rate in USD is recalculated in ARS via the official rate. Whether the 21% VAT is already included stays unclear. Then 10% discount is applied when you pay cash in ARS. As a result you pay 4% more than the rack rate in ARS. We found that highly confusing.||||The white towels are greyish and seem to be unclean. There is a need for a better laundry service.||||We had a room with view of the garden. Our room was adequately furnished and decorated, with a good double-bed, TV on the wall, fridge, table & chair, air-conditioning, wardrobe & safe. We had a separate small bathroom with toilet, washbasin, bidet and shower over the bath. All was very clean.||||Windows can be opened but have no mosquito-screens.||||The breakfast buffet is OK: pastries, bread & croissants, ham & cheese, butter & good marmalades, fruit-salad & orange juice, cereals, milk & yoghurt, tea & coffee.||||We found hotel La Candela comfortable and we had a good stay. Recommended.

The location of this boutique hotel is excellent and there is a nice garden with pool and views towards the hills. The twin bedded room had very narrow beds but everything else was clean and comfortable. Our main criticism would be the breakfast which was not to our taste. There was no fruit salad , everything was rather sweet including the yoghurt, croissants, cake and bread and there was a only one kind of sliced cheese. Rather basic, although the coffee was good and the service of the hotel was very attentive.

Great value and location. Perfect for our 2 night stay in Salta.

La Candela is located in a quiet neighbourhood. Convenience stores and a small bar/cafe are just a few minutes away. We found that the nearest restaurant (in Ciudad Germes) is popular with local families and was a good choice for our Christmas Day lunch|The hotel staff were all friendly, but particular thanks go to Dario, who went out of his way to help. The room was comfortable and looked out over the garden, though it did not have screens on the windows so some mosquitos found their way in. Breakfast was completely adequate: tea, coffee (really is terrible!) , juice, cereal, yoghurt, fruit salad, various breads and pastries, conserves, and eggs available upon request. Recommended.
