Casona Potosi Hostal Reviews

We had room number 3 and that was a nice one. It was warm and we had also hot water. The wifi works only at the reception. Don't mind the breakfast, its really not good, just ask for the coffee because the bread is or frozen or old. The staff is not so friendly but the minetour is really nice. Ok for a few nights

The breakfast is very poor, I have been traveling for 20 days in Bolivia and Casona have the worst breakfast. Congratulations.

The price on hostelworld is higher than the walk-in price. And first they couldn't find our reservation And only after we paid the lower price they finally found it and forced us to pay the rest. Really unfriendly staff, not helpful. Also rooms are okay, but have a really bad smell.

only allowed to use the kitchen at certain times of the day. the mine tour from the hostel is quite good. it doesn't go very deep and we felt it was a tourist friendly one. It involves a fair bit of sitting around in the mine not doing much. The hostel owners are a bit unhelpful at times and almost seem unhappy that you are there. Breakfast is bread and tea. Nice interior square. Location is good. one toliet for a lot of people, one without a light and the other no lock, hmm decisions decisions.

Bathrooms were not clean, small breakfast with hard bread, poor kitchen.

The breakfast system was a bit complicated and breakfast itself is a bit light. A light in the bathroom would be nice. But the staff was nice and the building has some character. I liked the fact that the lights in the communal area are turned off at 11PM, so that people don´t stay and be loud until very late. I did the Mine Tour with the hostel too and it was great.

Nice hostel, room 3 was good. However our door handle fell off sometimes, not an issue though. Staff were unhelpful and would not order us a taxi to go to the bus station at the end of our stay. At other times appeared disinterested. Breakfast was ok and the mine tour was good.

La Casona in Potosi is a large big house with lots of vibes.

Very convenient location and close to everything in Potosi. Really fast laundry service, big rooms and hot showers.

Hostel with good vibes, warm rooms with heating. Doing the mine tour with them are very impressive. Highly reccommended.

La Casona was a really nice place, excellent location, very helpful staff, and superb mines tours.

Do not give laundry. You will miss some things afterwards!!!

WORST VALUE FOR MONEY HOSTEL!!! BREAKFAST--stingy with butter and jelly. u have to show empty saucer to be served again, like a child or prisoner. Can't have more b4 start eating even if u know from day b4 that portion is too little. WIFI--only available in the tiny reception that fits 6 people. Others have to stand. MINE TOUR???--Impolite tour guide. Drunk driver. No visit to refinery. Expensive(80 vs 40-60). How can they claim they have the best?? Only location is good about this hostel.

Hot showers are not hot, the door to the shower doesn't have a lock and the bathrooms need more cleaning. Plus: the Wi-Fi is super slow and there is only pretty hard and dry bread for breakfast...

Overall impression was very poor. The reception area was like the waiting room at Euston Station, with people everywhere, far too much noise, television on full blast, and chaos reigned. For breakfast, you had to make a queue at the kitchen door, where you were handed a tray with a lump of hard bread and a coffee. ( No juice ! ). It was like being in prison. You then took it to a hard bench in the middle of a patio. Awful ! The bathroom was dirty, and beds were not even made up at 3.00pm !!

Breakfast really light. Not enought W.C. and shower for all the people. Good location, close to the center. The rooms communs are nice

The hostel has probably one of the best location in town. I was in a private room and it was pretty clean. Breakfast was good and staff quite nice and informative. The mine tour run by the hostel is very interesting, a bit tough but it's worth it. When I was there I heard of a couple of thefts that happened right at the reception (camera, cell phone...). So, just pay attention.

We booked a double with shared bathroom. The room was fine but it was freezing and they didn't put the heaters on. The room was colder than outside. The shared bathrooms were really dirty and there was never any toilet paper. Go for private bathroom if you stay here. The courtyard is cute and location is great.

need to separate toilets from shower.

Not a great stay for the cost, in a twin room with a bad smell and damp on the walls, 4 bathrooms only 2 of which could be used and not at all clean with a constant smell of feces as bins are rarely changed and often get wet when people are in the shower. Charge for films but movies are scratched and very poor copies. However would strongly recommend the mine tour as guides are brilliant! Shame hostel cant live up to this. No real communal area and charge for computers despite very poor wifi.
