OK, so the hotel itself isn't the greatest in the world, and there's certainly cheaper in La Paz, but when you're still paying peanuts its a nice option. We flew into La Paz from Brazil and were recommended the hotel from some pleasant chap at Santa Cruz airport where we stopped over. The top floor restaurant offers stunning views over La Paz and the surrounding mountains, and the Coca tea served provides welcome relief from the altitude sickness we had when arriving in La Paz, so we were equally grateful for the elevator as a flight of stairs leaves you breathless before you acclimatize. The rooms are nice enough, got a little chilly but plenty of sheets. Location is great, close to the main square and all the attractions. Best thing about the place was the staff. We spoke very limited Spanish, and likewise they're English was limited, but they were still great. We did our trip into the Jungle (from Rurrenabaque) and the Uyuni salt flats tour and both times Hotel Condeza were more than happy to hold our main bags until we got back. They tried to help whenever they could, always smiled, which is all you can ask for really. Nearby there's a cuban sandwich place, unbelievable meaty baguettes for about 50p
