)
A variety of rooms is tucked away here behind a popular central restaurant. They're
clean and OK for the price, but make sure you select carefully (upstairs) as some of those
with shared bathroom tend to be somewhat poky. The further back, the quieter it gets.
Club Hostel

; San Martín 134; dm/d AR$70/240; )
This ad-
equate hostel has dark dorms that have lockers and triple-berth bunks last seen in steer-
age on the
Titanic
. Private rooms with bathrooms are pricy but decent, and there's a kit-
chen and tiny Jacuzzi out the back. HI discount and tour agency.
Posada El Arribo
BOUTIQUE HOTEL $$$
( 422-2539;
www.elarribo.com
; Belgrano 1263; s/d AR$384/600; )
An oasis in
the heart of Jujuy, this highly impressive family-run place is a real visual feast. The ren-
ovated 19th-century mansion is wonderful, with original floor tiles, high ceilings and
wooden floors; there's patio space galore and a huge garden. The modern annex behind
doesn't lose much by comparison, but go for an older room if you can. In Salta this
would cost double.
Howard Johnson Plaza Jujuy
HOTEL $$$

;
Güemes 864; r AR$950; )
This chain hotel is
set in a borderline-ugly building and feels a bit impersonal but makes up for it with really
excellent facilities, including a sizable pool, spa and gym. Rooms are spacious and com-
fortable.
Eating
minal, is a genuine trading post where indigenous Argentines swig
mazamorra
(a cold
maize soup) and peddle coca leaves. Simple eateries around here serve hearty regional
specialties; try
chicharrón con mote
(stir-fried pork with boiled maize) or spicy
sopa de
maní
(peanut soup).
