There are three types of rooms here: houses (for 5-8 people), cabanas (2-4 people) and standard rooms (2 people).

We stayed in a cabana (#104), and it was very roomy. It had a living room area with two couches (that doubled as beds), kitchenette area, bedroom and bath. The kitchenette had a built-in counter with two chairs. There is a mini-fridge and microwave oven. The calefon (which is a mechanism that controls the hot water in the unit) is located in the kitchenette area. It's fairly easy to light. The bedroom itself was comfortable.

Each cabana has a terrace in the back of the unit. In the evenings, the owner of the farm next to the hotel lets his five cows feed in the grassy area just outside of the terraces. The terraces are set up higher than the ground, and there is considerable brush, so the cows never get too close, but just close enough for you to enjoy the view.

Reception and the restaurant are located near the entrance of the hotel. The hotel rooms, pool, computers with internet are all located in another building. There is free wifi, but the signal is strong only in reception and in the building with the rooms. There is a nice lobby area in the building with the rooms for you to sit in and enjoy the wifi and flat screen television (no guest rooms in the hotel contain TVs).

There was a free continental breakfast in the mornings: bread, cakes, muffins, biscuits, croissants, ham, cheese, fresh squeezed juice, coffee, tea, milk, cereal, and alfajores(!!). A nice spread for a continental breakfast.

While the location of the hotel was not in the "downtown" area of Purmamarca, it is a quick 5 minute walk to the area. Just close enough without getting all of the dirt and dust of the streets. It was a great location.

There is a pool, a spa with Scottish showers and a gym, but we didn't try those services. We checked out the gym, but it was only a universal machine and an exercise bicycle.

The staff was very nice and friendly and went out of their way to help. It would be wise when traveling to this part of Argentina to know a bit of Spanish. It may get a little difficult to communicate to people without it.

I personally think a 4- or 5-star rating for this hotel is misleading. It is a simple, unpretentious place. May of the facilities aim higher than they achieve. For example, the pool area looks charming but the pump is very noisy. It claims to offer wifi, but we did not get a connection unless we were sitting in the reception lobby. Hot water frequently cut out mid-shower, or after one shower so the second person got only cold water. (They did immediately try to rectify this, but the on-demand boiler in our cabin had a dodgy pilot light.) Water collected around the tiny hand basin with nowhere to drain away. In our cabin the decor was beginning to get tired, and black-out curtains had many large holes in them. The patio, while spacious and overlooking fields and hills, was slightly spoilt by the smell of kerosene (or something similar) in an adjacent store room.

Apart from these quibbles, however, it is a good place to stay while in the Purmamarca area, conveniently located, with well-tended grounds and more or less everything you need. Unlike others, we found the restaurant staff friendly and helpful, and enjoyed the very reasonably priced food and good selection of wine.

We were pleased to be in a cabin away from the road, and I would recommend requesting this as others are literally alongside the main route to the Chile border.

We caught the morning bus from Purmamarca to San Pedro de Atacama and were able to leave our hire car in the car park of the hotel to be collected by Budget later. The hotel reception were very helpful about this, and also drove us and our bags the few hundred yards to the bus stop. (If you can possibly do this bus trip it is absolutely sensational...)

Amazing setting in the Quebrada de Humahuaca - you are surrounded by spectacular multicoloured rock formations. You can just see the Seven-Coloured Hill in front of which Purmaraca sits. Conveniently located for visiting Tilcara and the Salinas Grandes.
Room rates were higher than other comparable places but we managed to negotiate a good discount. Either way, great value for money.
Breakfast - while not outstanding - was nonetheless among the best we saw in Argentina.
The restaurant was very good by Argentine standards, and food/beverage costs in the hotel were very reasonable. They did charge an AR$35 corkage fee for bringing wine to dinner.
We had no problems at all with the plumbing (as noted in a previous review). They don't have enough wi-fi base stations so wi-fi can be intermittent, depending on which room you're in. It works well in the TV lounge though.
A little bit corporate in feel (without the impeccable service you would expect) which is why I didn't give it 5/5.

Based on location and design this hotel is a winner. It blends in so nicely with the rocky surroundings, and while the grounds are not huge it has a spacious feeling and nicely kept gardens. Our room was clean, neat and tidy and decor was nice, not outdated or worn, but rather cozy and charming. We found the reception staff very helpful, but didn't find the restaurant staff personable at all. The breakfast was a buffet and had all the usual continental type food items. We had dinner in the restaurant once, and it was good, but not outstanding, and again we thought the staff lacked enthusiasm and personality. We went in search of another place to eat in town and subsequently had a great lunch and dinner (on the same day!) at Los Morteros - which hasn't had great reviews but to each their own!!.
