“Rude, dishonest and unfriendly.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 March 2010

We arrived late at night (11pm) after travelling all day on the bus/train from La Paz. We had phoned to reserve a room before taking the train and written down the price (30B for a single room and 60B for a double). On arrival, we were told that there were no showers and that the price was now 35B for a single and 70B for a double, despite the price having been confirmed in advance. When we asked to look at a room before deciding, the woman rudely said no and pushed us out the door. So, despite making a reservation in advance, we found ourself having to walk around a deserted town late at night with our suitecases looking for a room. I strongly recommend avoiding this place completely. It is a disgrace to the HI association.

“cold water but very friendly helpful owners”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2008

The owners let us in and found us a spot when we arrived on the train in the middle of the night and let us in when it was freezing out!! They also helped us book a good deal on a trip to the Salar de Uyuni for 3 days which was great! they really helped us out alot! Nothing special about the hostel, the water was cold, it think something was broken, but we were just happy to be somewhere safe! I would reccomend them for sure to book your trip to Salar de Uyuni!
