It's a nice quiet place to stay. The room is clean for a hotel in such small remote town. I stayed on the first floor and it was nice to watch the bright moon on the clear sky to sleep. I jogged up/down hill around the town in the evening and before breakfast. The town is very quiet, and safe to walk along. Breakfast are freshly prepared and the service is fine.
This place has given me an opportunity to reflect on life, to gaze starry southern august sky and colourful mountains, to eat alone in a little restaurant to talk to natives, to hear the silence (it's full of sounds)... Very neat and calm place. My gratitude to brothers Hernan and Gustavo, the masters of hotel and all the staff. They are shy and very kind people, very good and helpful. Gracias para todo!
This is a clean, basic hotel and the staff couldn´t have been more helpful, so if you really want to stay in Maimara, it is a good choice (one of only two choices!) but there really is very little to do here once you have gone for a walk along the old road to the east of the town to see the beautiful multi-coloured rocks, La Paleta del Pintor. Unfortunately, the night I was there the kitchen didn´t open and the only other restaurant in town, La Casa del Tata was also closed so I had to go to Tilcara for dinner anyway. If I had realised how close Tilcara was and how much bigger it was, in hindsight I would have kept going and found somewhere to stay there.
We stayed at this place after a day-long tour through the plains up to the salinas, san antonio de los cobres etc. and arrived in the early evening tired and dirty...When we got to our rooms the heater had already been plugged in and the rooms were cosy and warm....a gilr from staff came with the menu so we could already order dinner so we would have to wait too long.. AWhen we went to dinner the fireplace was crackling...after dinner friends of the owner came by and played/sang andean songs with flutes and guitar -absolutely fabolous and an unforgettable stay. They even let us open our own bottle of wine for dinner, which we had brought from Mendoza. Here you really are a GUEST. The place is small but cosy and well kept, really good for a stop on your way touring the north of Salta.…
