Hotel Boutique la Candela

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.

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.

La atención muy buena, buen desayuno. Limpieza buena y excelente la habitación. Lugar tranquilo y agradable. Una casona antigua adaptada para ser un confortable hotel. Cerca del centro comercial de Salta Capital y a una pocas cuadras de la plaza principal

Excelente experiencia. Fue todavía más de lo que esperábamos. Orden y limpieza: Siempre encontramos impecables tanto la habitación como todas las instalaciones (parque, pileta, desayunador, etc.). Personal: El personal de recepción, desayuno y limpieza siempre atento a lo que necesitábamos, no solo buenos profesionales, sino que también personas. Desayuno: Riquísimo y completo. Para los que buscan algo saludable, hay mix de frutos secos, cereales, yogurt y para los que no, ricas medialunas, budines, tostadas, fiambre, queso y tarta. Siempre estuvo listo para la hora que lo necesitamos por las excursiones. Hotel: La habitación nos pareció muy cómoda (los colchones, almohadas, etc.) y climatizada. El parque es enorme, tiene pileta, muchas reposeras, sillones y mesas afuera.

Nos alojamos una noche, hotel bien ubicado, habitación normal, cómoda, el baño un tanto chico. Buen desayuno, lo mejor el patio con sillones para sentarse en una galería con vista a la pileta. Muy buena atención de todo el personal. Importante..tiene cochera.

Hotel céntrico, personal joven y atento, (unos más que otros) limpio, pero la antiguedad pasa factura, tanto en el mobiliario como en el acceso a las habitaciones. El desayuno poco variado pero al estar disponible muy temprano, facilita la salida de excursión. No tiene restaurante.
