Very good: Our room was clean. It had wi-fi. Hot shower (absolutely wonderful after our Uyuni adventure tour!). This is a nice looking hotel, with a pretty good sized lobby and a light-filled courtyard area. Not-so-good: The electrical outlets and connections threw out sparks. Breakfast is included, but it is not anything special - instant coffee instead of fresh, for... More

Los Girasoles Hotel was a very pleasant stay in Uyuni, having WiFi all the way to the rooms, and Cable TV, Hot water, heating system and a nice facility in general! Def recommended for backpackers with a bit more cash in their pockets!

First of all one needs to reduce expectations of hotels in Uyuni as this is a very remote city and only a transit for trips to and from the desert. Yet with low expectations this hotel has topped my list of worst hotel experiences! I stayed 2 nights, and the first night was as expected from a hostel in an... More

You do not get what you pay for here. The room decor was dark and dingy and the carpet stained in a number of places. The en suite bathroom was also dark, dingy and could have been cleaner. The guy on reception couldn't have been less interested in my arrival, certainly wasn't going to crack a smile. Breakfast was unappetising... More

It was tough deciding between a 3 or 4 star rating. It's better than average for Uyuni, I think, but not 'very good' compared to hotels in other parts of the world - even other parts of Bolivia. On balance, I would recommend it for Uyuni. I stayed two nights, one before my salar tour and one after. Internet wasn't... More

Arriving in Uyani after a horrendous overnight bus journey, we were delighted our room was available when we turned up at 8am, allowing us to rest for a couple of hours before starting the salt flat tour. The staff were welcoming and helpful, the room was clean wih plenty of bedding, and the shower was hot. Returning exhausted that night,... More

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
