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.
