I would give this hotel 5 stars if only it was a bit more fun.It looks like an old colonial hotel and has a lot of good features
I eventually moved out to a downmarket hotel that was far more fun. This hotel was good when the company was paying but blew my budget for a long stay. If you are thinking of taking your wife and kids to Cochabamba then its a good hotel for you. If you are out looking for nightlife then its not for you.
Looks like chrisBrazil likes it too . I think he is a mate of mine . Gissa call Piehead

This is an exceptional boutique hotel. The bedrooms are exceptionally spacious because the hotel was once a private residence. My room had a lovely walk- in closet and exquisite woodwork. The staff, without exception, were helpful and friendly. The garden and grounds are serene, private, beautiful. It will be difficult to go to an "ordinary hotel" after experiencing the charm of Hotel Aranjuez.

Six of us came to Cochabamba to visit an orphanage. Hotel and staff exceeded our expectations. The food in the restaurant was excellent and the capuccinos rivaled Starbucks. Internet service was excellent. Not a Maui five star but a very pleasant hotel.

I was impressed when they told me the hotel was only 15 years old. I had the impression it was over 30, and that's because it looks like it for the furniture and style. This is not a bad thing. Very well located in the city and with a gentle staff, the Aranjuez still lacks some better guidance to its tourists. The room was very spacious, and so was the bathroom, but I expected better furniture, toiletries, safe. Most of the equipment you can tell are out of date - small tube tv and even smaller heating which didn't help much on their winter. The breakfast was very good and the staff very kind. I confess I was expecting a bit more for 90 USD, which is a good amount for Bolivian standards these days - in comparison I stayed in other hotels in Bolivia for the same or just a bit more expensive with a MUCH better quality. Would I recommend or even go back to the Aranjuez? Yes, I would, but think it deserves some face lifting or pricing down. Oh, they do have a lovely garden and nice swimming pool!
