    Comfortable hostel to stay before or after the salt flats tour
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • 8-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Had to pay for luggage storage during the salt flats tour even though I was coming back to stay there afterwards. Also most of the rooms dont have windows and it can get a bit damp.

    Nice and comfortable hostel. Beds are comfy and there are enough toilets and showers. Breakfast is really nice with coffee, tea, toast, eggs and fruit.

    it's a desert, sand and dust everywhere, fluctuating temperatures.. and yet in this hostel, it was unknown, comfortable bed, everything pleasantly clean, although there were some restrictions on the time of use of the showers, but otherwise I was satisfied, especially when I had the opportunity to get to know, Bolivian standards.

    Good location, super flexible and accommodating (we paid an extra £10 roughly to have the room until our overnight bus), very clean, fresh and delicious breakfast, nice communal areas and WiFi

    There is a very nice terrace, but it's also the place where people are allowed to smoke.

    The hostel is modern and clean. Breakfast was good with freshly cooked eggs. Common area, including kitchen, is spacious.

    We had to wait for such a long time before getting in our room. But we understand that the cleaning service has to be run.

    The room, simple but comfortable. The shower was good too. We could get a breakfast with extra cost when we arrived at 8 am.

    the hostel is a bit out of center and if you want to eat , you need to walk 10min. As the road outside the hostel is not paved, thus in rain season be prepared to get into mud the most time. And those water pit can be a reason to pay taxi more. WIFI is average.

    room is big and bathroom is clean and spacious. breakfast ok. They can prepare snack pack for your early leave.

    The muddy streets, but that’s not in the hostel’s control - it’s the rainy season! They did a wonderful job mopping and sweeping to keep the inside of the hostel clean

    Breakfast, staff and common areas were all fabulous

    a little far away from the bus station

    Despite the high traffic they are able to keep this place very clean. The kitchen is well equipped and there are plenty of relaxing space in the hostel. The staff speaks excellent English and are very helpful. The last day I have to check out at 5am and they called me a taxi and packed me a breadfast.

    The only downside was the muddy road around it, but hopefully it will get fixed soon.

    Great hostel, good breakfast, helpful staff, comfy bed and a great bathroom. Not the best location, but not too far from the centre. Wi-fi was decent, sometimes wouldnt work in my room, but worked perfectly in the common areas. Would recommend.

    I like a firm mattress but the one in the room was very unforgiving. There was a really stringent list of rules and associated fines for breaking the rules. It felt quite rigid.

    The shared bathrooms were big - lots of showers and toilets so never had to wait. Clean and the kitchen was big. The staff were friendly and helpful - they let us store our luggage until 9pm as we had a late bus to La Paz.

    Not the most social, but again think that’s down to most people recovering after the salar treks.

    Great place to stay after doing the Salar, nice staff, good kitchen and facilities.

    Just one little thing: the fact that you couldn't get hot water for coffee or tea before 8. In a place where most people go for tours and get up very early is something that should be available.

    Everything was good: staff was nice and kind, toilets were clean and never crowded, best showers so far in my trip in Bolivia, beds were comfortable, lockers were big enough, rooms not so crowded, WiFi was quite good, common areas were great, breakfast was abundant and it was nice to have it included in the night price.
