Pirwa Hostel La Paz Reviews

Location is good but the building site type atmosphere is not. There is only an outdoor area wth tables so when it gets dark it´s too cold and dark to use. The TV room has once sofa so not much space for people at all. The beds are great. The breakfast is very very basic. For one night it´s fine, just don´t be there too much.

The beds here are super comfy, staff were nice and friendly and it's pretty close to walk down to the markets etc and from the bus station.

This hostel is pretty good - the beds are comfy, the location is good, the security is too, an the staff r helpful, friendly and speak English Too bad the showers rarely have any hot water... Breakfast is very basic, if served. There is also music throughout the night sometimes All in all, a good hostel

The hostel is quite good located between bus station and city center. They have really confi beds and warm blankets. In the private rooms you only have electric showers. So its better to go to the really hot shared showers. They have a save luggage room and lockers at the reception. so its a safe place. The only really point to complain is the character. you do not have a good common area to hang around. and the bar is not that nice. so you dont get in contact with other travellers that well.

This place had excellent staff and was very clean. Not a party hostel like lokki They upgraded my room for free so i could be closer to my friends I came with, I never even asked. I had a hot water 1 of 2 days. The view is killer at the hostel. They even let us have a fire there with the view, it was a great night. Not many free computers to use (2). There is a kitchen to use. Location is good if arriving by bus, but not super close to anything interesting. Overall this is a sweet hostel!

Fantastic beds!!!! Friendly staff. Convenient location near to the bus terminal and not that far from the 'tourist area'. Too bad that they don't have a bigger communal area than the tiny room with 2 computers, 1 tv, and 1 couch. They do have a nice terrace, but it can be too cold to sit there.

We booked 2 double rooms in Pirwa La Paz 1,5 months before arrival. We got only 1 double room. While waiting for the second one, we have whole day walking in the city, but in the evening we still didn't get it. We were told that the people who lived there before us, changed their mind and decided to stay another 2 nights and the hostel cant force them to leave. We slept 4 people in one double room, and dragged the heavy mattress to the second floor by our self.

We booked a private room with ensuite, and the room was HUGE! with a pretty comfortable bed! The downside, We book a private ensuite so we have the luxury of having our own shower, well let me tell you, the shower literally was a joke, I wish I took a picture! It was a small plastic square on the ground with a 3 inch lip and no shower curtain! So, when you shower the ENTIRE bathroom gets wet! And its barely hot. Made me contemplate using the shared bathroom. Great Location. Friendly staff!

everything was really good except for the men's bathrooms which were very dirty! other than that we had a nice stay at pirwa hostel!

We enjoyed staying at this hostel. The rooms are very spacious and the beds are very comfortable. The showers were nice and hot (if they become cold you just have to ask the staff to change the gas cylinder). We stayed here twice because we liked it so much (we went out to Rurrenabaque for a week) On our second visit, they were moving some rooms around so the lounge was temporarily combined with the internet room. When this is sorted (it probably is by now) it will be a really nice hostel.

Poor internet connection always had to go out and pay for internet elsewhere. Staff were very friendly and helpful, common area was nice and the showers were hot and powerful!!

The hostel is charming , it is 2 blocks away from the bus station and quite in the city center . The room are clean and the beds are comfortable. However we never had any hot water at night when we took showers , and the staff didn't really care about it . If you go there , don't ask the staff for anything , they are totally clueless : they were supposed to book a bus trip for us , and they forgot ! As a consequence , we couldn't go , it was such a mess , and they didn't even apologize .

I only stayed one night but thought overall it was a good hostel. It is very new so still under renovations. As such the front entrance looks like the beginning of a horror movie but once you are in the hostel it is actually quite nice. Good mattresses, hot showers and a nice TV room. When it is finished i think it will be an amazing hostel.

I'm sure many of the issues I experienced will be resolved the longer they are open. One of my key gripes during the stay was that the booking system, handled from their Cusco locations, did not work as my reservation over New Year's Eve and Day was lost in their system. That said, the staff did a great job to find a solution to the problem and are rated accordingly. The other problem I had was the lack of internet. A large hostel in a major city requires internet ready computers and free wifi.

Bound to be a great hostel once it gets up and running, but its just not quite there yet. Few things to iron out, like getting the internet working, putting curtains up on the huge windows, and finishing up the garden and chill areas etc. Staff were awesome however, and the showers are fantastic and super hot!! Location is good, close to the bus terminal but a walk into central town. Just needs a bit more atmosphere before its a great place to stay.

We stayed in this hostel when it was first open and we were amongst only a handful of guests, so there was very little atmosphere. It didn't seem to have much in the way of facilities, and one night we had to bang on the door for a while before someone came down and let us in; perhaps just because it was quiet there was nobody manning the desk. We did have a very nice room but we ended up leaving early as it was just too quiet for us.
