Perfect location, good shower/toilets and bedrooms. They had The Wire in the TV room which made my day!

A fine hostel for the night before you head on. On the main square, great pizza downstairs. 2 toilets and 2 showers for 10 people - bit of a queue in the mornings. Breakfast included which was bread and tea/coffee. Felt quite open but there was always a man at reception. Creaky old building, rooms all connected internally by doors with flimsy locks, but lockers provided (thought also looked a bit flimsy!) we had no trouble. They lent us props for our salar pics! Got what we paid for.

You can take a hot shower. Breakfast was ok, nothing special. They were suffering from shortage of water when we were there. No wifi.

The price was a little high for Uyuni. We stayed in the hostel for 1 night but later we could find a Hotel for around US$ 14 with private shower...

This was a great find and one of our favourite hostels in bolivia. Like many hostels set in a old colonial house right near the main plaza but not too far a walk from the bus stop. The house itself is back from the plaza which makes it alot quieter. It has clean bathrooms and kitchen hot water (really hot water a nice bonus) and the living area was really lovely. The dorm was comfortable and there are lockers (outside the room). The owners were extremely helpful and friendly.

Uyuni is not a place to be:( so that hostel is quite clean and you have hot water for showering. Therefore its a bit more expensive. For us the hot shower and an clean room was more important then pay 10 Bolivianos less.

I would definitely recommend this hostel from my experience of staying there. It's just 2 mins walk from the station. The room i had was spacious with a really good ensuite bathroom - the dorms also have very good, clean bathroom facilities. The staff were friendly and helpful. Right nextdoor is a very pleasant bar and restaurant that serve good pizza. If oneday i return to Uyuni then i would look to stay there again.

Amazing showers (one of the best I have had in South America) with clean bathrooms, quiet at night, decent beds and standard bread breakfast. Cost effective for Uyuni and overall an average hostel.

Serviceable hostel in Uyuni. Nice that they have big lockers to store bags while on salt flats tour. No wi-fi. Not much atmosphere.

This place is fine for a night or two in Uyuni - the courtyard could do with a bit of love, which might help create a bit of atmosphere in the place...

We were stuck in Uyuni for an extra day due to the Bolivian National Census on Nov 21, 2012. Instead of the associations one would make literally being under house arrest (no one was permitted to go in the street without a hefty fine and 24 hours in jail), we spent a pleasant day inside the compound. We all sunned in the courtyard and feasted on the pizzas we had stocked up on. The management was very accommodating and nice. Only negative was it was a bit smelly and stuffy in our dorm room.
