Hotel El Manantial del Silencio

There have been some less good reviews of this hotel recently so I was a bit concerned as to what we would find. The hotel itself looks old but was only built about 20 years ago and has 20 rooms. The rooms are spacious with high ceilings and tiled floors and reasonably well equipped. There is no AC but it cools down quite well at night and you can open the windows. However the main road to Chile does run past the hotel and you can hear the trucks so you would not want to leave them open all night. The swimming pool and spa are across the lawn which is manicured by a llama. The pool is heated (covered at night) and was very pleasant even in the cool evening. The breakfast was pretty standard for Argentina but perfectly fine with plenty of fresh fruit. In fact they offer fruit for you to help yourself in reception. We didn’t eat in the evening though we did use the bar for playing games, it was rather dimly lit. There were no noisy children but some of the other guests were quite noisy in the evenings. There were tables outside as well. The hotel is in an amazing setting and to swim surrounded by the high rocks and gazing at a llama is quite an experience. The staff seemed very pleasant. It was a relaxing place to stay. Note there is no lift and quite a lot of stairs and steps so not ideal for the less mobile.

Lovely hotel, really attractive design and layout. Decorated in an old colonial style. Spacious room with comfy bed and decent sized bathroom with lots of hot water. Very nice bar and dining room. Had a great pisco sour made by Dante. Dinner was also good. There is a nice outdoor pool and an indoor jacuzzi. All the staff were very helpful.

The last time when I came to Purmamarca the hotel it was sold out,This time I enjoy this nice property and those employees help to have a wonderful stay Reception: Sara and Marine they made a excellent job as well Silvia,she was so attentive

The hotel is situated a very short walk from the center of Purmaraca, and is nice and quiet. While it looks like an historical building, it is actually a new hotel with a pool and spa. It has a warm and welcoming feel, filled with lovely artwork and furniture. The room was very comfortable, and the front desk staff was top notch, offering recommendations and help. A wonderful stay.

There is not a lot to say about this hotel; the rooms are clean and basic. There is no television or air conditioning. The hallways are dark, even in the summer. The hotel staff was fine, no more and no less. They did not offer to do things, or fix things, or engage unless we pressed a question. The restaurant was decent at dinner, terrible at lunch--avoid the pasta--and fine if uninspiring for breakfast. Well-located a few hundred meters from the rest of Purmamarca, it was fine for a night, but if it were any more time, I would not advise staying here. It's a little too far from everything and there is nothing remotely special about the place.

Estuvimos 2 noches. A destacar la atención en general, la ubicación, la decoración y el restaurante (almorzamos y cenamos ahí toda la estadía). El spa es un jacuzzi hay masajes y nada más. No es tan silencioso se escuchan ruidos de otras habitaciones y pasillo. Hubiese preferido que fuera solo adultos, ya que los niños y bebés llorando no eran tampoco nada silenciosos de hecho bastante molestos en general. El check out se demoró más de la cuenta porque me estaban por cobrar mal (de más ) y no podían ajustar su error. Desayuno demasiado básico para lo que vale. La pileta hermosa el entorno también , siempre chicos a los gritos allí. Y hay una llama atada en el patio me pareció re cruel.
