The hotel is a mixture between a hotel and a hostel and does not stand to my expectations. The room was clean and spacy but did lack, for example, a TV. We didn't mind because we would not look Argentian TV anyhow but other people might want it. The breakfast consists mainly of very sweet stuff and is somewhat overcrowded if there are more than 6-8 people at the same time. It also starts only at 8:00 AM, which is quite late if you want to start early for a day trip. But if you ask you get prepared some eggs. The parking is somewhat limited and it may take other cars to be removed to let you out.
The decoration is elegant and charming, excellent breakfast, beautiful bedrooms. Smart architecture that provides fine views of the montains. I would have liked to stay longer. excellent staff. You can walk to the main square and also to the pucara,
Everywhere you go in Argentina people are charming and helpful and Patio Alto is no exception. Mercedes went out of her way to be welcoming and despite the difficulties of obtaining delicious ingredients for breakfast much that which was on offer was proudly home made. As other visitors have remarked, the hotel is a little outside the main part of the town but still in easy reach of restaurants.
We stayed here for two nights after driving from Atacama in Chile via Paso Jama and were initially in need of a good rest; we were not disappointed. Patio Alto is simply a lovely hotel with tastefully appointed rooms in sympathy with local styles. Rooms are quiet and spacious. The hotel is medium-sized, so everything is handy. A great welcome from owner Pat with lots of time spent to give us a good briefing on the local area and town with suggestions on how best to spend our time and the best restaurants in town. Pat's recommendations were spot on so our time in Tilcara was most enjoyable. Do not miss the chance to visit and view El Hornocal, the local 14-coloured mountain with it's spectacular, white-knuckle drive to the viewing point. Pat will give you clear directions and any additional information required. This was our favourite hotel in 3 week's travelling through Chile and Argentina; quite, lovely welcome, well-appointed, easy walk to town, secure car parking, homemade breakfast/preserves..... ideal.…
What a great location far away from the city center, yet still walkable and pleasant. Pat was an amazing host giving us great tips and welcoming us so warmly. I would highly recommend this location and this pueblo over any other in the region.
