Basic hostel. No back up generator when the towns power went out but hey its Bolivia, real south am experience. No wifi yet if your interested in ensuring that. Basic same old jam n breadrolls and a cuppa for breaky. Confortable beds and right in town centre.

Clean, wide beds (still Bolivian in length), warm quilts, great location, great price, friendly staff (little bit of engish), but here is the big one that makes it what is it; good water pressure and hot, hot showers. Do no underestimate how rare this will be in Uyuni, more so because of the price range. No WiFi though, but my god, the shower.

Good breakfast and location, but I found the team to be just polite and nothing more. Oh, there's no wifi.

it's a nice, clean and well run hostel. The only thing I really had an issue with was the additional charge to wait at the hostel for the bus departure time. There is little to do in Uyuni so it kinda feels like blackmail. I have never before been charged to wait around a few hours for connecting travel after check out.

Brilliant hostel. Location was excellent even though Uyuni is a small place. Very warm bedding which is definitely needed in Uyuni! Good breakfast! Not sure if staff would be happy to help you book Salt Flat tours so be careful when you go to the various offices and book. Highly doubt there is a better hostel here.

We only spent one night in Uyuni after a 4-day tour coming from Tupiza, and Piedra Blanca was the perfect place to stay. It's located on the main plaza, so everything you may need like restaurants, internet cafes, the immigration office or the bus terminal is within short walking distance. The showers were nice and hot, and the beds in the 6-bed dorm were super comfy. There's a nice common area with a TV and DVD player and plenty of lockers to store your valuables.

Warm beds (important), nice building, warm showers (again, important). Superb position on the main town square. Staff is friendly and recommends tour operators (some tour operators are dodgy, do research). Since many people only stay one night, no great atmosphere arises. No Wifi!! (but is this way in many Uyuni hostels). In sum, I recommend it.

Not too bad really, considering Uyuni is such a dump. Beds very comfortable and warm, although the room could get very stuffy at night. Lockers were on the landing rather than in the rooms which was a bit annoying, at least they had lockers. Breakfast, distinctly average, bread was not good. Good location though and helpful staff.

Perfectly standard hostel in Bolivia. They let me live on their sofa for a few days while I was suffering from bad food poisoning. You do not need to spend more than one night here - there isn't much to do in Uyuni apart from the salt flats (which are incredible!)

In the main avenue, around everything. Confortable beds, hot shower, helpful staff (the owners are really nice people). A lit bit expensive comparing to other hostels, but worthwhile.

A great place to relax after the salt flats. The bunk beds were huge, almost double bed size. The showers were great, although breakfast isn't included. Lots of lockers to store your things.
