Good location, only stayed one night but the private room we had was big, had a heater, fabuously comfortable beds and a large bathroom with a good hot shower, just what was need after crossing the salt flats. Very helpful staff even took two of our colleagues backpacks for a while so we could eat together even though they werent staying there. It was also quiet, no road noise

Very unfriendly staff; extremely dirty bathrooms and dark rooms & noisy rooms... only positive thing was, that in room 14 the WIFI worked. The mining tour with them was fully booked in advance so no rating for that bit. The hostel accross the street is much nicer!

Beds are nice and warm and you have a hot shower, and i think thats the most important thing in Uyuni. It's an old building but the staff/ owners really try to make it work. Breakfast is ok

We were booked in here for one night, which we booked through hostelworld. On arrival it turns out they didn't have our reservation - and couldn't accomodate us even after I showed them the confirmation email. Considering I booked 3 days in advance I think this is pretty poor - staff were not apologetic and were no help in finding a last minute place to stay. I would recommend emailing to confirm your booking!!!!!

24hour check-in was brilliant as we arrived early morning on the train. Rooms were warm with plenty of blankets. The showers were hot with excellent pressure. Breakfast was standard bread, butter, jam, juice, and hot beverage but substantial. The staff were excellent. Note: there is no wifi but there are plenty of cheap internet cafes. We were able to pay to use the hot showers again after our 3 day tour - much better option than public showers if you are not checking into a hostel again.

Rooms are large and comfortable, and the staff very friendly. Note: don´t eat at the pizza place on the oppposite side of the square, made me seriously ill.

Hard to review as we were only there for a few hours inbetween arriving by train and leaving on a tour. I made a mistake with my booking and they were really good about changing it. Hot showers, beds were warm and comfy. Breakfast was just bread and coffee/tea

Worst hostel I have stayed at, regarding staff. Clean place but the owners have machines running until 11pm because it is taking them 2 years to renovate one room. Lazy.

Right on the main plaza,so great location. Staff very helpful in recommending agencies for Salar tours, and stored our baggage (for a fee) during our tour. Breakfast is standard, showers are hot and beds comfortable. Basic place, but has everything you need. Would stay again.

Friendly and helpfull bilingual staff. Nice hot showers. Fleece sheets and plenty of blankets which is a must as Uyuni is very cold at night. Rooms were basic but large. Walls are paper thin but I found most gets went to bed early so noise wasn't a problem. The hostel is quite money grabbing with charging extra for luggage storage and chilling out in the common rooms after check out but then so is the rest of the remote places in Bolivia. The fleece sheets are what really makes this place.

The showers were lovely and hot, beds warm and comfortable and the staff were very friendly. The price for what you get especially for Bolivianos is way overpriced.
