We stayed in the b&b in a double with ensuite. The windows kept out loud noises from the street albeit the room was a little dark. Appreciated the option of the next door bar (and the free beer). In the b&b the staff seemed slightly less knowledgable about la Paz travels but overall we had a great experience and would recommend.

Overall very positive. Showers and bathrooms are great. Pancakes for breakfast are fantastic. Glass of free beer each evening. Organises tons of tours for you, including the Death Road bike ride which was fantastic. Hostel does a good job of organising activities each night. Only slight complaints are the number of hippies staying here wearing those godawful pyjama trousers. Also, internet is quite dodgy, some times it does not work at all. We would definitely stay here again though.

A good Hostel with an amazing view from the roof terrace! It is also close to the big market in La Paz which is amazing for buying food! It is a bit big and therefor hard to meet people the first day maybe, but there are a lot of fun activities for every night and you should definetly stay there if you like a mix of party and good sleep!

Great hostel. Great breakfast (pancakes). Free beer is nice & a great way to socialise in the evenings. Nice and clean. Wifi throughout the whole hostel which is good. Nice big lockers under bunks.

Easy walk or trufi ride to downtown. Good breakfast options, room was warm and bedsheets were cozy. Ran out of towels on my check-in day, had to wait until the next day for a towel. Staff a bit disorganized at times but they try hard.

Well run hostel, despite its size. Clean shared washrooms, spacious mixed dorms and decent sized lockers located right under your bed. Breakfast was a nice change from the standard bread (pancakes). However, due to the structure of the building, sounds from the lobby/common area is projected and can be heard from any room. The kitchen is actually located in the B&B just a few steps away. Although you have access to it, this could be an inconvenience for you.

Excellent hostel that's close to a major bus terminal and a 20min walk from town. The beds are big, with big lockers allocated to each bed. Only downside is its a bit noisey with road traffic and from the bar. A big downside for us is that they let people smoke inside! On the upside it has an all you can eat pancake breakfast and the food is good and reasonably priced! Would recommend it and we're staying here again when we return in a week.

Great bar, breakfast pancakes are awesome, room smelt pretty bad though and double bed was tiny for 2 people.

The building we stayed in feels old and a little dingy, but the bed was comfortable and the room was cleaned often. My biggest complaint is that the door to our room didn't latch closed (was always cracked open) so that's not super secure and let in noise at night. Free beer every night at the bar is nice.

Only had one night here in transit but it was right next to the main bus terminal which was a huge plus. Only a 10 minute walk to the main tourist strip (markets, bars, restaurants). Helpful and friendly staff with a tour operator attached to the site. Free pancake breakfast was great. Dorms were spacious and lockers were good. Bathrooms weren't super clean but I have had worse. Bit of a party vibe which would have been fun if I had more time to spend there.

It's definitely one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. OK, it's true, the beds and the rooms don't have the highest standard, but they are OK. But the houses, the terraces, the bar and the facilities (games, DVD etc.) and especially the people are so amazing! It's not a party hostel in that sense, but well, you can find anything you need. It was fun, what a pitty we didn't stay longer.

Really nice place. I stayed for 10 days and thoroughly enjoyed it. The free beer in the evening certainly gets people into the bar and mixing and the free pancakes in the morning are lovely. The tour booking facility in the entrance is excellent and all of the staff are helpful , friendly and welcoming. Not as wild as Loki and Wild Rover but all the better for it.

The shower was not the nicest experience. The bar was also not open one night because the hostel was short staffed.
