We stayed here as a group of 9. We now refer to it as hostel no-amigo! All so sad, as it could be awesome. The place needs to be totally renovated - it is a dump. Also the staff need to stop watching TV all the time and actually want to help you. Although their time would actually be better spent cleaning the hostel - which clearly was not done very much. This place will not survive without changes! Hostel Amigo please listen. I only want to help! :-)

Without a doubt, the worst place I stayed at in two and a half months of traveling through South America. Well, where to begin. Terrible, uncaring staff, filthy all over (my private rooms and the bathrooms were a disgrace), infested with rats, marijuana growing in the backyard plants (actually this could be a plus), not to mention an incident where four guests had cash stolen from their rooms. They are not your Amigos; they are your worst enemies. Stay instead at Forastero Guest House.

This is without doubt the most disgusting hostel i\'ve ever stayed at. The staff was lazy and rude. The wi-fi was so slow, that it was impossible to use. The bath facilities was disgusting. There is no pool and the hostel doesn\'t look anything like the pictures on hostel.com.

DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOSTEL This is by far the worst hostel I have ever encountered! In the 3 days we spent their we had 1500 bolivianos stolen from our private locked room by the staff while we were at breakfast. They tried to reduce our rate so we wouldn´t call the police but we did anyway and they told us this has happened many times and were on their last warning for being shut down. Not only this, but the place was a complete mess and the staff were beyond rude/horrible to deal with.

The staff is so unfriendly and we had bed bugs in Two rooms. The staff do not even understand english through google translate, engslish to spanish. We had bed bugs but they only answered "no you don't". Would never recommend this crappy place to anyone, unless you are planing to spend All night out, not going to sleep at all. Worse hostel ever.

Not a bilingual staff. Couldn't tell us if there was a bed available for anther night, but when we checked out, there were 2 beds available. Really made our morning tough. Loud and cramped rooms.

I rarely leave commentaries except if the hostel is very good or very bad. In this case it was the second. There were two showers for all the hostel which had the toilets in them as well so you had to wait if you wanted either and once someone had taken shower everything was flooded. You had to get a voucher from reception to have breakfast which wasn't even good. The breakfast staff was unbelievably unfriendly and on the whole the atmosphere was horrible. Only the front receptionists were nice

We would have enjoyed our stay a lot more if the staff had enforced the \"quiet after 22:00\" policy supposedly in place. The patios have a lot of echo and every night disrespectful guests would get rowdy until early morning without anyone from the hostel reacting. Not a recommended place for a good night of sleep.

Not a great hostel. Close to the town centre and had secure lockers, but staff were totally disinterested and some of the rooms join directly onto the common areas which means sleep is difficult.

The building has a lot of potential and it was undergoing renovations at the time. The breakfast was quite good but the staff were not very helpful and the place was lacking atmosphere. The only dorm room was tiny, dark and there were no lockers to store bags.

A great hostel in a perfect location. Nice clean rooms, comfy beds, warm water most of the time! That's hard to come by in Bolivia! Had a great time there, would recommend it to anyone.

This hostel was awesome. They arranged a big party before we went out every night at either this hostel or the sister one just down the road. You could get cheap food there during the day and the rooms were comfortable. Will definately go back later this year!!
