Casona Potosi Hostal Reviews

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.

We were disappointed with the cleanliness of the bathrooms, the lack of toilet paper, loo seat, lock on the door and the loo paper bin seemed to rarely be changed so it smelled pretty bad. There was no plug socket in our room and the internet was incredibly slow. The manager was very helpful but some of the other staff were pretty rude. The two good things were the breakfast was pretty good and the mine tour was fantastic. For the price it should have been cleaner though.

The mine tour offered by this hostel is fantastic so if this is the reason you are coming to Potosi stay here based purely on this. The hostel itself is average. Gives you the chance to watch the movie "Devil's Miner". Warm beds and standard breakfast. They can book you a bus for onward travel but unfortunately if you are speaking to any staff member other than the manager then you are not likely to get anywhere fast.

Quite nice, close to main plaza. Large public areas, good and large showers/toilets, etc. Quite clean. Above expectations, I can recommend it. And Fantasticos mines tours.

I have stayed in La Casona in a number of times now and yet again it was perfect! Lively enough to met people. Facilities are good, staff are brilliant and location is really convenient. Thank you La Casona!!!

The people working at the hostel were amazing. The mines tour that they offer are amazing, so professional, high-end safety equipment and superb guides. I felt so welcome to Potosi!

La Casona hostel is a very cool and unique place. the owner and all his friendly staff are amazing. There is a nice common patio which is a very social place. location is great as you are very close to center. Also, mines tours are great!!

We had a really good stay at La Casona in Potosi. The staff are caring, they make sure you are comfortable. The location is great, there is walking distance to the beautiful Casa de Moneda. Awesome mine tours. Great place!!

We were only there for 1 night but I wish we stayed there our whole stay in Potosi. Really good location, heaps of activities, good bathrooms, and they will organise superb mine tours. Def recommend.

Worst hostel we have stayed in so far. The staff were extremely unfriendly and unhelpfull. Toilet roll only given when asked for (you need to pay for it if you are in a dorm), no towels. You need a token from reception to get breakfast. This is a very large hostel, the building is lovely and mostly outside as it is a courtyard but this is impracticle at 4000m. Its very cold and dark so a bit scary too. I woke up with bites all over my legs. I suspect bed bugs in room 18!

We arrived here after booking, a private ensuite room only to find that they did not have a room for us. This seems to be an ongoing problem. We did not stay here because they only had space for a twin with a shared bathroom. We stayed across the road which wasn't much better. Therefore I would email and check they have your room because it seems they just allow somebody to come off the street and take your reservation if you are not there!

The staff were generally unfriendly, they sent us an email in advance asking us for our details to pick us up from the bus station, but eventhough we sent on our details they never showed up to pick us up. The rooms were well decorated and have hot water in the sinks and are warm. Breakfast would leave you hungry. It is expensive as bolivia goes

Amazing mine tours (Choco is great).
