Beautiful property, lackluster staff
The hotel itself is very nice with gorgeous wood floors and nice small touches throughout. It’s located very central in walking distance for most destinations in Salta. We found the breakfast to be lacking as it was a few pastries and watery yogurt. Most importantly, the front desk staff seemed annoyed by any question we asked whether it be about our stay at the hotel or a recommendation. The main guy at the front desk was generally too busy to help us and made us feel like a burden. When we asked for a nice coffee shop to grab breakfast their best suggestion was Havana aka the Starbucks of Argentina when there are plentiful cafes and coffee shops nearby.

Bait and switch
The hotel offers a very good relationship between quality and price. The pool and garden are especially attractive. My gripe concerns the room I was initially assigned. I booked a standard double and was, without comment, shown to a very small room. After a few hours I checked my reservation, the listing on hotels.com, and the hotel's own web site. My room was nothing like the 22 square meter room advertised as a standard double on hotels.com. Instead it was clearly the "double small" listed only on the hotel's own site. I complained. The desk agent on duty that evening said I was correct, that nothing could be done that night, but that I could move the following day (lots of fun to pack and unpack again). The following morning the desk agent claimed that my room was a standard double (this made me mad) but could switch me anyway. I moved to a more spacious room that corresponded to what was advertised as a standard double on hotels.com and the hotel's own web site. At check-out I requested compensation for the smaller room and was given 250 pesos (about US$4). I don't know if this was fair or a few pennies tossed my way to get rid of me. I note that the hotel has now switched around pictures on the web and shows a photo of the postage stamp room as a "standard double." In addition: internet connection is poor and the sinks in both rooms contained hairs of unknown origin. Watch out!

Characterful friendly hotel
Lovely little hotel with character and charm. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was on the small side but probably as we'd asked for an early check in which is fair enough. Breakfast was a bit on the sparse side but there were some lovely pastries. Would definitely return, the communal garden and pool area is a lovely place to sit for a few hours.

This is a really quaint Spanish style cosy hotel. Beaut little architectural features. The desk staff all spoke English and we're most helpful. Only 5 - 10 min walk to town square. A great place to stay.

Great location, close to nice bars and restaurants. Quick and easy check-in. English speaking staff at front desk. Breakfast with fresh orange juice and they even made me some eggs which is not common in the Carb loaded Argentinian breakfast. Internet was good and loved the outdoor area around the pool to chill and do a bit work. Don't expect a new hotel but this is very good value for money. Anytime again.

Lovely boutique hotel
I stayed at Hotel Candela and the service was excellent from the point of check in to check out. The hotel is small, in a good way, with a lovely courtyard area with a swimming pool. The hallways, the lobby, the kitchen, the cute living room area, all are well decorated with local art and it made the ambiance very pleasant and welcoming. My room was large and clean and the bed was comfortable. You can get much better deals in the city, but I enjoyed staying there for one evening.

Charm, comfort and value...a rare combination!
This charming little hotel had everything my husband and I were looking for: central location, quiet street, warm and efficient staff, well-appointed room with bath and comfortable bed, pool, air conditioning and heating, secure parking, WiFi and a very nice continental breakfast. Their little garden is charming, with outdoor seating close to the pool. The price was quite reasonable as well. We are definitely going to stay there again when we return to Salta. I've rarely had a more pleasant stay, and we were there for four nights.
