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.

This is a hotel in the price range of a hostel. The WiFi is superb, the rooms very comfortable and the kitsch murals are actually a very nice addition. The location is prime in LaPaz, much better than the joint at the corner of the brewery. The breakfast is a definite plus. You can read our full review with photos at PlanetVagabond.com.

It's really more of a hotel, so don't count on meeting people here, but apart from that it's great. We arrived really early on a bus from Uyuni, but they let us check into our room right away and we even got breakfast. Then as we had to leave before their breakfast starts on the last day, they made a small extra early breakfast just for us! The free pool table, fast internet, hot showers and tv made it a really comfortable haven from the city.

This hostel deserves its rating. Rooms were great, cleaned everyday - nice hot shower- secure - some had balcony - cable tv-comfortable beds. Breakfast was great (fruit, bread, cereal, fresh juice, eggs). Hostel staff were very helpful. Great location - close to witch markets, nice restaurants/cafes, tour companies etc. Good pizza place around the corner (Martinis). Short taxi ride to airport and bus station.

Very well located. Nice breakfast buffet, good towels, and 3 computers in lobby where you can meet fellow travellers. Otherwise more hotel than hostel. Apparently wifi was down for 2 days but then it was back with good service. Staff helpful in calling taxi to airport and answering questions. I had an inside room with window to the central shaft so no view but I did get air. All walls decorated with scenes of rural Bolivia--nice. About 100 TV channels! A little above my usual budget but worth it

very comfortable! good buffet breakfast, reliable hot showers, cable tv in room and the only wifi connection we´ve had in a hostel in bolivia. an oasis in the middle of the city (and a respite from the backbreaking bus rides (unpaved roads in most of the country).

We only stayed here one night but the three bed private was amazing! It had a television with cable and a really nice bathroom. The staff were friendly and the hostel was in a central location. Stay here!

This was a very charming place to stay. It was very safe. clean and comfortable: La Paz can have it challenges so this is a nice place to stay. It is not a paty hostel. It is quiet but there is a pool table in a nice room. It is on a quiet street very close to things to see.

Excellent place to say. Hotel quality rooms, excellent (reliable!) electric hot showers. Was located less than 5 minute walk from main tourist area of sagarnaga street and the witches market and less than 5 minutes from mercado negro (the large market in the area). Despite the proximity it was very nice and quiet on a side street. Our trip was winding down so we enjoyed putting our feet up to watch a flick on the cable tv available in our rooms, but each to their own! Highly recommended

We stayed here for two nights however the shower was temperamental, and when it did work it was lukewarm. However the hotel offered to move us to another room. The staff were very friendly and cheerful, breakfast included eggs, fruit and cereal.

A great price for a great price. The hotel is in a great location, just a short walk from the main market streets, and tourist district. There's restaurants, shops, and tourist offices right around the corner. Highly recommended.

Good hostal in central La Paz, although the rooms at the first floors are a bit noisy. Showers are electric, but ok. Beds are comfy. Buffet breakfast is excellent. Staff speaks good English. All in all a good choice for spending a night of two
