Cafayate is a great place to visit, and staying at Rusty-K makes it easy. It's a couple of blocks from the main square, and they'll help you set up excursions and tours, too. Breakfast is nicely done, with typical Argentine fare, though. They don't make you wash your dishes after, though, which is nice for a hostel ;) The courtyard... More

We could only stay in this hostel for one night, but we would have loved to stay longer. The double room we stayed in was cosy, not very big, but good enough. The shared bathroom was clean and spaceous. The best part of this hostel, however, are the common areas. The breakfast are is very nice (the breakfast itself is... More

I have to say, I felt better about the name of this place once I heard it en Espanol (sounds more like 'rustica'). The owner of Salta por Siempre recommended it to us and if you've read my review of that place, you'll understand why I immediately decided to book ahead for 3 nights. My husband and I were travelling... More

Yes I agree with one or two of the other reviews, the staff speak only Spanish, but we are in a quaint little town in Argentina, so this is expected, right??! The staff are friendly and offer the tours / services necessary for Cafayate, ie waterfalls, mountains and bike hire. The rooms are clean and tidy although in my room... More

The Rusty-K is an affordable and most comfortable backpackers haven. I encountered very friendly hosts, but no one who spoke much English. However, there are English speaking residents in the area. A feeling of the Old Southwest permeates this hostel in the Northwest of Argentina, an area - although one of the first settled by the Spanish centuries earlier -... More

Definitely recommend this place. Quiet (definitely not a party hostel) and clean and run by some very friendly people. There is a relaxing courtyard out the back to while away the hours if you need a break. If you’re hungry head across the road to El Hornito for some of the best empanada’s we’ve ever had as well as some... More

We paid for two nights which were "ok". It is in my opinion overpriced (private rooms but sharing a bathroom). It took the shower longer than 10 minutes to start flowing. They say they are near central plaza but all hostels are 200m from central plaza anyways. Cafayate isnt that big. There are enough things to do in Cafayate to... More

This was probably our favorite accommodation on a 3 week trip to South America staying in a number of hostels and B&Bs. We stayed for 3 nights and had a very cute, clean and comfortable double room with private bathroom which opened out onto a courtyard garden. The garden was great for relaxing in or meeting other people and there... More

We enjoyed our stay in Rusty-k very much. It's a lovely hostel with a beautiful garden for relaxing. Good location, 5 min to the center place, good breakfast and free WiFi. By the way the WiFi didn't work in our room, but in the common area and garden. Our room (private ensuite) was nice, spacious and clean with a okay... More
