This is a very approachable and safe place to stay in downtown Tupingato if you are in the area. Make sure you understand this is a small, small hotel. The rooms are like matchboxes - barely enough room to walk around the beds, no chairs and you pretty much have to sit in the main breakfast area to drink beverages as that is what you agreed to when you sign in. They don't want anybody spilling wine on their nice white comforters in the bedroom.
The air conditioning works well, meaning it is very cold, but our room number seven had a problem with it where it seemed like it was not able to get the air out and making a really weird noise all night long. It required earplugs to block out the noise
It is in the center part of town and it pretty much dies late at night and because the rooms are all interior and none face the street it is very quiet.
Breakfasts are very adequate and unlike most places they offer cheese and ham as well as torticas which are basically baked discs of pie dough which are tastier than they sound. They also have a few spreads - lije dulce de leche, peach jam, fresh fruit, bread, Kiefer which is liquid yogurt, hot cocoa powder, hot milk, coffee and tea.
The staff is super nice and goes out of their way to help you get glasses, open your wine or beer etc. We needed to get our rental car exchanged and they made the phone call and help us coordinate that.
The only reason I cannot give them five stars if they were not clear at all on their reservation form regarding payment method - they claim that they can only take cash - however it says nothing to that effect on the reservation form. Also, in Argentina all hotels for foreigners are required to not charge the IVA tax if the person pays with a credit card or debit card. They tried to tell us that they could not accept debit cards and that they would still get charged the same as a credit card. Bottom line they were trying to keep the IVA tax for themselves and we did not stand for it since we had a written paper ftom thethat showed saying that they were supposed to get the 21% I VA returned to us. read more
