We arrived around 11 pm in the hostel. We booked online for a private double room, when the guy showed us the room it was not yet cleaned. He even asked us if the yoghurt and the cups were ours!! It smelled very badly of sigarettes and there was no window. We asked for another room, we got a triple bedroom (one single bed and a bunkbed). We asked for 2 towels and he made us pay for them. I asked for a refund on the room, but because we had 3 beds that was not possible. We didn't even have the double bed. Plus there was a used hairbrush on one of the beds. We asked if it was possible to have a beer, there was no beer and then to order some food, like a pizza or something. He said it was no problem, but after a quick shower (dirty bathrooms with floss in the toilet) the reception was closed and dark. The guy was nowhere tobe found. So with no food and the wrong type of room we went to bed.
The next morning we only paid for a dorm, so that was the only service they provided... We left immediatly.
Too bad, because normally we have good experiences with Hi Hostels in South America.

I chose the HI hostel only for its location near the bus station. It felt like a heaven to arrive there after constant freezing in Potosi. The beds were comfortable and the rooms nice and warm. The beds have personal reading lamps!!! The owner and the staff were really helpful and friendly. I stayed in the 6-room dormitory for almost a week. Most of the visitors, however stay only one night because the hotel is located a bit away from the centre. If you don't mind the walking, I would say that the HI hostel is a very good choice!!

We arrived at the bus station in the evening after a long journey and went to HI Sucre because it was five minutes' walk away. The only room they could offer us was 200 Bs which is expensive for Bolivia, especially a hostel. We stayed because it was late but found it to be very poor value for money. The room was okay, a bit old-fashioned, although had a large bathroom with shower cubicle (unusual for Bolivia) and cable TV. The shower was not great and turned hot and cold. One plus point was that the bed had a duvet which was great after weeks of blankets and sheets.

There was free wi-fi in the lobby but it didn't work in the room. Computers cost 3Bs an hour. Breakfast was not included which at 200Bs a night I would have expected it to be. The kitchen was rather unpleasant; grimey and with very few cooking facilities. the location is bad, near the bus station, which is a dodgy area (we were offered an escort from one of the tourist police) and a good 20 minute walk from the centre of Sucre. You can get much better further into the city centre.

It's rather far from the city centre but if you like/want some walking, it's ok, one street up and down. Ask room 26 or 27 if you're with 2, great rooms. Service and organisation of hostal are worthless (a lot of volunteers over there) but if you can manage your one holidays no prob and if you want to take (or took) the (long distance) bus, perfect location ! Don't expect that they will understand english but if necessary one of the volunteers (we saw a lot of germans) will translate. Internet costs money and is a bit slow. Nice garden and you can cook yourself.
