Tilcara Rustica Hostel

It’s rustic alright! I want to love this place, but for my purposes…I did not. Do NOT come here if you don’t speak Spanish/want something social. I was the only English speaker there and I felt excluded and felt out of place. It’s more of a motel. That all being said, I MIGHT come here again if I wasn’t solo/if the rooms had AC. It’s an old building, and that’s fine but I got absolutely eaten by mosquitos but if I didn’t open the window it’d be too hot. Don’t get the breakfast, it’s just bread

The place is comparable to a EEUU motel. Gets the job done, but don't expect anything glamorous. I was late to check in, but the host eventually communicated with me and saved me from staying in the rental car for the night.

The rooms and ensuite were clean, the beds were comfy. Although we felt the 6 bed dorm didn’t have much space (and we didn’t have our massive travelling bags) and no fan or air con. The bathroom: the shower isn’t separated so the bathroom/toilet gets soaked. Main issue was the social areas, there were so many flies (both during the day and at night) and the kitchen felt quite dirty so didn’t cook (frying pan had lots of ants). For a fairly expensive 6 bed dorm i was expecting a lot more!
