Selina Salta

Best bed / pillows I’ve had in any selina! The hostel is beautiful, good location and really good food

Good location, helpful staff who speaks English, nice and clean rooms

Don’t be fooled by the nice photos of this hostel, it’s nothing same in real. We booked a double room for 4 nights. The restroom is terribly dirty and stinks. It’s also very noisy ALL THE TIME. People speaks loud in the patio or music from neighbouring restaurants. I couldn’t locate where exactly the music from, but for sure is that stayed day and night. Last but not the least, while we stayed there. Out of sudden, there was a construction right in front of our room. They were cracking down a wall and rebuild a room I guess. It was not mentioned at all when we booked the room or when we checked in. Imagine the drilling noise woke you up in the morning, that was shocking! I asked the reception how long it’ll last, he told me the whole day and there were no other room for me to change. For this, they must know the construction in advance and by curtesy they could have told us. It was really a BAD experience.

Staff is great, hotel is creatively decorated. Beds are comfortable. Rooms are not quiet at all. We stayed in two rooms over two stays. In one room you could hear the folk music concert next door every night. In the second room, the restroom conveyed sounds from the adjacent room as of there were no wall there at all. Great location.

Amazing setting. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Very friendly staff. Always feel welcome.

Great environment to stay, eat, and wander the city.

I really enjoyed my stay at Selina Salta. I stayed in a private room which was very spacious, clean and so nicely decorated. It had a TV, fridge and nespresso machine. The shower was hot and food water pressure. The bed was very comfortable. Location is excellent - a short walk to restaurants and the central plaza. I felt safe as a solo female traveler. Wifi also good and nice shared spaces (outdoor area, kitchen). The staff were so helpful throughout the stay. They can help with booking tours. However, I ended up booking tours with a different travel agent (Tiamar) as they offered English speaking tours on some days, whereas the hostel didn’t so much (not uncommon). The only downside was that it’s right next to a Peña (a cool local restaurant/bar that has a folk show every night). Great if you want to go and experience the culture, but I can be quite loud until the show ends at 2am. If you’re on the side of the building next to the Peña (which I was), you’ll be able to hear everything. Ear plugs helped! Overall, I would recommend but perhaps ask for a room on the opposite side to the Peña!
