Catamarca & La Rioja
Pleasant, clean and friendly, this is a well-run place with a peaceful feel despite some main-road noise. Pay the extra pesos for the downstairs dorm, which has plenty of space and is a little quieter. Private rooms are neat and decent value. The hostel picks you up for free from the bus terminal, rents out bikes and organizes paragliding tours.
However, it's not centrally located nor as cute as its competitor Gute Nacht.
