Pros: A hotel with old world charm & ambience. The room was lovely with a comfy bed & a gorgeous antique wardrobe. Spacious bathroom compared to other places we’ve stayed in Argentina. We had a nice view of the San Francisco Cathedral from the Romeo & Juliet balcony. Cons: Being so close to Plaza 9 de Julio, it was a bit noisy at night. The included breakfast was pretty average.
Really nice place to stay. Close to all your needs in salta.

Centrally located, victorian charm, a bit outdated
The central location could not have been better. The building is eclectic with parlors scattered around and has a particular old-timey charm. It felt a bit like an old victorian boarding house (which it probably was). It was nice to have the kids in their own (adjoining) room. There was a leak in the sink which made a bit of a lake out of the bathroom floor overnight, but we were only there one night so it didn't affect us too much. A/C worked great which made my husband especially happy.

Perfect location. Restaurants bars and tourism offices just 1 min walking distance. Hotel is very old historical building and kept at good shape. Even I got the best room in the hotel the bathroom was terrible. So narrow, and very tight shower place... My payment selection was "pay at the hotel with local currency"...It was not a good choice. They charge me much more than the price shown on hotel.com pages. I was forced to use the credit card not to pay more but my choice was spend all my left over Argentinian Pesos. Since I did not accept to pay by credit card I am charged 21% more in cash... Be carefull if you pick Pay At The Hotel option....

Dear Mr. Orhan: We must explain that reservations that are processed by Hotels.com or similar portals, indicate that they do not include local taxes. In our country a resolution is in force to favor foreign tourism and is that no tax is charged (VAT) if the guest pays by international card and presents passport. This measure is only authorized by tax agencies for credit card payments. If the guest pays in cash it is not appropriate to apply the resolution, so you must pay the tax. In addition Hotels.com uses a quotation of foreign currencies taken from an unofficial consultant. Hotels use the official quotation. Hotels.com has been asked many times to explain clearly, because of your comment we will insist more vehemently. We appreciate your kind comment, Sincerely
The only criticism I have of this otherwise lovely hotel is that the hot water wasn’t!

Right in the centre
The hotel public areas do look like an old colonial home. The breakfast is very good served with choices. The rooms are old but supply everything they promise - AC, firm beds, desk area and the shower worked well with lots of hot water. With a bunch of money invested, this could be an upscale boutique hotel.

Great location as on the square . A little noisy but worth it as so easy to visit museums and find plenty of restaurants. Staff were helpful and organised us an extra night . Shower wasted so much water as it took 20minutes to get hot water . (2 mornings it never got hot)

Nice hotel, right in the middle of town.
Everything is at your doorstep from the Colonial. Such a great central location. Hotel itself is a little dated, but I bypass that due to the friendliness of staff, decent breakfasts & ease of access to everything in Salta. Museums, restaurants, the Plaza & tour operators all at your doorstep.
Would definitely stay there again !

This hotel is in a great downtown location. It is very comfortable and the staff is wonderful. It's name befits the architecture, the furnishings and ambiance, i.e., it is charmingly old-style. Breakfast is extended continental buffet style.
Our room was nice and quiet as it was located away from the main plaza.

Nice people, aging hotel
Staff delightful and position on the square is great, but the hotel is in need of an update. Air Con didn't work properly and general impression was that fixtures and fittings were past tbeir sell by date.
It is such a historic hotel and located right at the plaza where most of actions happening. It is old building so the room is small and evrything is a bit awkward. But! We enjoyed it so much. It made us feel like we were back in 1940s!
Breakfast was good.
Room was clean enough for us to stay comfortably.
The old hotel with great character!
