Categories

Cleanliness
7.8
Generally well maintained public areas and garden, but several reviews mention bathroom odor and an overflowing/shower flooding the bathroom — some cleanliness/maintenance issues in rooms.
Service
8.5
Mostly praised: staff described as very friendly, attentive and helpful in many reviews; a few reports of inattentive or unpleasant reception staff lower the score slightly.
Location
9.6
Consistently highlighted as excellent — superb panoramic mountain views, very close to the town center (≈300 m) and nearby mirador/trails; location is a standout strength.
Room Quality
7
Rooms are basic/simple with good bedding for some, but multiple mentions of minimal equipment (no fridge, few outlets), lack of railing on stairs, and some rooms only accessible by stairs.
Amenities
7.3
Limited amenities: private parking and pleasant common areas noted, but lacks heating/AC in some rooms, no on-site restaurant/bar, and rooms miss small conveniences (fridge, glasses).
Value for Money
7.5
Mixed perceptions: some guests feel it is a good deal given location and view, others report poor value or ‘bad value for the region’ and compare it to a lower-star standard.
Food and Beverage
8.2
Breakfast opinions vary: several guests praise a varied, homemade breakfast and good attention (omelettes on request), while others find it minimal or poor — overall slightly above average.
Overall Experience
9.7
Many guests describe an unforgettable stay driven by the location, views and generally warm service; despite some room/amenity shortcomings the overall impression is very positive.

agreable tres calme et secure
Pros:

A 300 m a pied du centre ville tres animé et bruyant. L'hotel est au calme au fond d'une impasse avec parking privé qui ferme la nuit tres appréciable. Mirador tres proche a pied, de même que le sentier pour faire le tour de la montagne des 7 couleurs. Personnel tres aimable et serviable.
Chambte simple mais bonne literie. Pdj correct avec omelette (a demander) jambon, fromage viennoiseries céréales, jus etc...

Cons:

Attention pas de chauffage, ni climatisation mais grosses couvertures en laine. Correspond a peu près a un 2 étoiles en france. Il est nettement au dessus de beaucoup d'autres hôtels gargote et bruyants que nous avons vu aen ce.tre ville de purmamarca.
