Great location, secure and safe with onsite Travel Agency who will easily help you to book buses, tours, airport transfers etc. Staff were extremely helpful and when I left an item of luggage in their locker room arranged to get it to me in Tupiza for free ! Great breakfast, pool table and 3 computeres downstairs and good wi-fi, would def recommend.

Awesome place, people and location. Easy to set up any tours through the reception, cheap and lots of places near by to eat and relax at.

Great hotel, we checked out a few places in La Paz but Cruz de Los Andes was outstanding. Staff were really friendly and helpful - something we found quite rare in Bolivia - and went to every effort to help us with anything we needed. We still partied in La Paz (you can visit the party hostels without staying there) and enjoyed having somewhere nice, clean and quiet to come back to. Great location right in Illampu close to restaurants and shops, and fantastic buffet breakfast. Would stay again!

Great value for money, a basic but very comfortable little place with good location close to all the action of la paz inc the witches market. Staff did there best to understand and help which was most appreciated! Excellent value option, a bargain!!

Nice staff, great location, excelent rooms, hot water, good breakfast... I think the only thing is that you have to go up the stairs, no elevators. But listen, this is one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in, really recomended!! It's near everything, there's even wi-fi inside the room. Take it!

Great place to stay after being on the road in Bolivia and enduring the never-ending bus rides. Rooms are great with private bathrooms and fantastic buffet breakfast. Close to all the major sites and markets.

As a single female I felt a little bit unsafe at night as the hostel is located up a quiet street around a bend so you are just out of sight of the main road when you walk up at night. Not much they can do about that but a few tips offered to single female travellers would be good. Staff were very helpful at all times, even when I had to leave for the airport at 4am

We stayed here for 10 nights over Xmas and NY and it was amazing. The rooms were comfortable and we had a balcony. Breakfast is by far the best we have had as you are offered eggs if you want them. Staff always willing to help. 2 streets away from the main tourist street of Sagarnaga. Shower is sensitive so be gentle with it. Overall a fantastic experience.

The hostel is located in a nice area of La Paz near the main tourist strip. If you're looking for basic accomodation then this is probably right for you. Computer access and breakfast means this is a handy place to stay. It's a shame that the staff weren't as helpful or nice as they should have been, with one in particular being exceptionally rude. Overall not a bad place to stay for the price.

Very quiet rooms especially if you are in the rooms in the back but near to the center of tourist attractions. had a very noisy room in a much more expansive hotel round the corner afterwards. Luckily only for one night. Hostel is quiet dark in some corners according to the used warm wallcolours.

Fantastic hostel... The two guys that run this place are hilarious!! And so much fun... They help you out with anything you need and we met some great people here. We arrived on BBQ night and left on Pisco Sour night so they have a lot of fun stuff going on. Lovely rooms and clean hostel with it's own cutie little bar! Loved this place! - Hayley & Dan :)

Not a party hostel but a clean and comfy pick to stay for a couple of days. Fells more like a hotel with TV in the room, good breakfast and a good location in the city center - would stay there again.

a hotel-like place, somewhat pricy but you get appropriate comfort, ideally located in the tourist area although taxi drivers/people in the street may not know the direction as this is a small passage. ask for eggs at the breakfast. the only thing we didn´t like is that they start cleaning straight after people check out, which can be pretty early, cleaning lady in the next room woke us up at 7am listening to loud music on her mobile at 7am

More like a hotel than a hostel. Really nice rooms, very clean, awesome bathrooms, breakfast is great with fresh fruit, cereal ect and they even put on breakfast for us at 4am when we needed to catch a flight. Probably the best place we have stayed in Bolivia, and really close to the witches markets and places to eat. Excellent.

Quite a big hotel / hostel, with top breakfast, and comfy rooms with quirky murals. Happy to hold our bags for over a week as we went galavanting.
