Really nice, clean hostal with great fleece linen and hot hot showers. The staff at the reception was nice but not overly helpfull. One bad things was: We have to leave for the airport at 7am and told it the receptionist. When we wanted to leave at 6:45 am everything was locked and we could not get out. Thanks good the dog of the enclosed pub went crazy and a lady let us out through the pub.

We stayed in a double room with shared bathroom. Nice hot shower, perfect location to stay in Uyuni the night before your trip to the Salar. Room was cold but enough blankets. There is a heater in the room but this is not good enough to warm up the room. Rooms are noisy, so you have to be lucky with your neighbours ;-)

Loved the fact they gave you a heater to keep warm at night. Lovely hot showers. Nice, clean, spacious rooms. All round good hostel.

This hostel is really clean and practical. The facilities are really good for Uyuni... But the staff is quite rude.... Also you have to pay if you want to use the shower or facilities after the checkout (they don't tell you that in a really nice way....) and it is almost all the time because the trains or buses are usually during the night....

We had one night here after our 3 day salt flat tour. We were in desperate need of a shower and this hostel did not disappoint. The showers were top quality, a little difficult to get the correct balance between hot and cold but after 3 days out without a shower you do not care. Location could not be better, right in the centre of Uyuni with countless restaurants 30s walk away. Rooms were a good size and enough blankets were provided for the freezing nights. Definitely recommend this hostel.

Very conveniently located in the centre of town. Our room was large, the bed had thick blankets, and the private bathroom had a beautifully hot shower. Very quiet at night for a good sleep. Recommended.

Amazing massive beds with 5 warm blankets for the cold nights. The hostel itself is really cold, we were wearing our coats all the time, very good location, nice staff, poor breakfast, stale bred and jam, tea coffee. No internet! Its an okay hostel nothing amazing.

The beds were big and comfy, really warm as well. There was no wifi, but it's difficult to find anywhere. The showers were hot but sometimes interdispersed with cold water. Good choice of DVDs and comfy common area. Breakfast was not great, dry bread with spread. Location is great, staff really helpful and friendly. There are lockers, but no front door or room keys. No fridge, kitchen is equipped ok but some stuff locked away.

Our room was large and the bed was comfortable, just what we needed after a tour of the salt flats! The bathroom was quite new, very clean and the showers were super hot. Breakfast was the only let down, a very basic meal of one bread roll with jam and tea and coffee.

We really appreciated staying at Piedra Blanca after 3 day Salar de Uyuni tour. The staff is very kind and friendly, room was clean and comfortable (would benefit from adding some hangers) and we could enjoy hot shower. Hostel has excellent location right in the main plaza, 5 min walk from where buses depart from. Great pizza places right next door. Standard/modest breakfast with coffee, bread, butter & jam. Would happily stay there again!

Only chosen because of the check in at any time policy, but they were sold out and I had to wait for 4 hours to get to the room. I didn't want the bed, only a shower, but the receptionist didn't allowed me to since the hot water could finish. Apart from that, the hostel is just ok. No much fun, but do not except that in Uyuni.

Very charming old building, but because of this, can get very cold at night. Otherwise, shared showers and bathrooms were clean. Kitchen was small and tightly run (most of the cutlery and dishes were kept under key). Perfect location close to the main bus terminal and on a main street close to everything necessary.

Though it looks like hell, the rooms are good. The staff does not help much, but you cannot expect mush from Uyuni. The shower was great though.

Great location. Good place to crash for one night after a Salar de Uyuni tour, nice hot showers. Average breakfast. On a whole a hostel that's good to stay for one night but wouldn't recommend staying longer (Wouldn't recommend more than one night in Uyuni anyway)
