I don't usually write reviews unless I love a place but our room at this hotel was such a disaster I feel the urge to spread the word! Firstly the guy at reception was pretty grumpy...I can handle that, maybe a bad few days for him? However, he walked us past a few perfectly good looking rooms (basic but nicer... More

Though there are not many options for decent hotels in Uyuni, this seemed to be one of the best. Airy building, nice decor and most importantly - a clean room! We stayed in a room with three beds. Heater kicked on at night, cable tv for your fix of english and hot water to take a shower. The hotel did... More

This is Uyuni after all, so we weren't expecting much - it really is a stopover before and after the salt flat tour! The hotel is bright and clean - but taking the cheaper option we were outside the nice sunlit, indoor courtyard part. The bedroom was quite small and the bathroom even smaller (and lacking a shower curtain which... More

Located around 4 blocks from the "city center". The rooms are pretty clean and quiet. If you take one of the cheap ones though, they are very tiny. The staff is friendly and helpful; the travel agency is also good. No WiFi available, but I guess you will not find this in whole Uyuni since the Internet connection (Computer in... More

Again do not expect luxury. This is Uyuni and no one is here for the hotel. The good thong is this hotel has a central heating system.

Hostel Girasoles is a decent place for a stopover before/after the salt flats. The location is a little further off the strip and the bus stops so be prepared to walk 6 blocks down a dusty non-lit road or to take a quick bumpy taxi. The staff was nice but when we tried to check-in, they had no reservation for... More

Uyuni is not the most interesting town (we were also there during some demonstrations and political strife) so our view may be skewed. It was a charming and good hotel, decent service, good food, comfortable room and from some of the other options we saw, one of the better hotels in town. Definitely a good place to spend as a...

After driving in Jeeps for countless hours, this was our home for two nights. Part of a large tour group, we had one night paid for, but after being flooded out from our destination, had to pay for the second night out of our pockets. After just reading $35 from a previous poster, I am unhappy to say they were... More

I did stay 2 nights at the Girasoles just a few days ago. My disappoinment mainly stems from having had to pay $35 per night for a room and then being charged 10 pesos ($1.50 US about) for a one hour use of the computer in the lobby. It did seem a desperate attempt to wring the last peso out... More

We´ve stayed for two nights at Los Girasoles - the hotel is ok, but nothing special! They do have heaters in the rooms, which is very good, as it can get quite cold at night. The breakfast is ok and the showers have hot (actually it´s rather warm than hot) water. Internet/Wifi is not included, but can be used for... More
