This was a simple, clean and well located hostel. It was very noisy though and when we returned to our room all of our belongings had been rearranged in a messy fashion.

Great for a short stay, good location, even if it is Gringo Central. I had to check out earlier than expected and they did not charge me full fare for the day. Which i thought was very nice of them. Wifi doesn´t work in rooms, reception is tiny and cramped, cafeteria is only open for 2 hours- so no common areas really. But the staff is welcoming and helpful- speak poor english though. Id stay again if I needed some R&R.

Hostel was fine for the night, good location, quiet, friendly, nothing mind blowing, really just served a purpose.

The feeling was cold, but it was good for a short stay in La Paz.

I thought it was a great place to stay in La Paz. I have lived in Bolivia for seven years and have stayed in La Paz many times. It was my first time at this hostel and I thought the price was unbeatable and it was very clean. I just wish the breakfast had been earlier.

Their front desk staff had no idea , their system for recording payments and bookings seemed to be some scratchings in a notebook and to get a reciept for our payments seemed to confuse everybody concerned. But just as well we did insist because on an early checkout with a bus to catch there was a drama as they seemed to indicate we had´nt paid enough , the reciepts that we had seemed to mean nothing !. Not a pleasant way to end our stay which other than that was fine.

Excellent hostel. Best i have stayed at in La Paz if you are looking for a quite, relaxing time away from the party hostels. Showers are really hot with good pressure (no electric shower, it is the real deal!!). Staff does not always speak English. Location is very good with bar Oliver´s Travels just next door. Room and bathroom are spotless.

Clean, comfortable hotel. Great location. Staff were very unhelpful.

Definitely more of a hotel than a hostel but that was good for us as we had been ill and just needed a few days out of a dorm room. The girls on reception did not have much English but then we did not have much Spanish! Still, we were able to communicate and they were helpful and friendly. Breakfast was basic but with bananas, which was a nice change, but this is not somewhere to go if you want to meet people.
