La Paz Hostels

Pros: The staff are extremely friendly - Julio even took three of us on a trip to the Valle de la Luna rather than organising a tour. Good atmosphere and easy to get to know other travellers at breakfast or in the evenings. The showers are hot and bathrooms are clean. The location is close enough to all tourist spots but in a quiet area. Guests can use the kitchen to cook, but you can also order freshly made pizza there which is perfect if you arrive late!

Cons: The bedrooms are pretty cold and some are just off the common area so it can be hard to sleep due to noise/light. The breakfast is just bread, jam, juice and tea/coffee. It would be great to have some fruit too. No sockets or lights beside beds in the 4 person dorm.

Pros: Really nice atmosphere, staff super helpful and welcoming.

Cons: The bell system and the fact they don't take credit card.

Pros: Nice clean hostel in an ideal location. Big comfy beds and friendly staff.

Cons: The room I was in was next to the common room so extremely noisy at night and in the morning

Pros: The staff is so friendly! And the pizzas were amazing! And the beds were super comfy! Also the WiFi is fast and stable.

Cons: I found the restrooms weren‘t cleaned properly

Pros: Really helpful staff and the bed was comfortable. The common area was great for being social with other travelers.

Pros: The breakfast is good. The staff is really friendly. You are at 15 min on foot from the city center. Very calm. The wifi is correct. Area clean

Cons: The shower need to be cleaned more often.

Pros: Nice location and beautiful house.

Cons: Staff wouldn’t let me check in early and lied that there were people in my room but I saw the door open and it was empty. Tried to overcharge me. Not particularly friendly or helpful.

Pros: The staff were super friendly! The breakfast was fab and the showers were hot! Loved this place!! Recommend to everyone!

Cons: Staff are amazing, pablo is so nice and helpful, Elvis makes great pizzas!

Pros: The guys working at the hostel are the best! Good breakfast, perfect showers, relatively warm rooms, clean kitchen, beds with curtains for privacy, spacious rooms,... I loved my stay there!

Cons: I stayed a month at this hostel (so i really liked it). I asked for a price reduction (its not that cheap) because i stay longer. The owner only offered me the "booking-price". I think its a joke, for me its not a special offer and for him its a profit because he doesnt have to pay a comission to booking.

Pros: The location is the winner

Cons: The sockets in the room were so old and used that the cable would fall out, and it was impossible to charge

Pros: Location and staff, the hostel is very nice

Cons: Breakfast can be improved and the cost is a bit high

Pros: We were only there for one night. Good location on a nice quiet street, close to main streets, bus station and teleférico . The hostel was also quiet but the noise inside echoes, but it wasn’t really an issue. They allowed us to drop off our stuff (safe) before a 3 day tour, check in early, and print a few pages. There was hot water (a bit too hot).

Cons: The room smelled a little bit moldy when we first walked in. The bathroom is in the room so there’s a lot of moisture when you shower. The staff was alright. They did they job but weren’t very friendly or talkative.

Cons: Dirty room.

Pros: Position -the best available in La Paz-, staff, ambience, reception h24.

Cons: The room was cold and u may need extra blanket or a small electric stove (available at the reception) to warm you up. Bathrooms (private and shared) small and cold.

Pros: Hot showers, quiet at night as down a traffic free alleyway, not too many dogs barking. Cozy and homely feel. Comfy beds and heaters. Most of the staff friendly and helpful. Overall very much enjoyed our stay.

Cons: Overpriced compared to the other South American countries we have been too, should have breakfast included for this price.

Pros: Location

Cons: Bathroom was very small

Pros: I'd like to express a special thanks to Miguel and Jose and the rest of the folks for there above and beyond service. Bolivia is a great place with even better people. Thank you for helping my wife and I on our trip and stay with you. !!!!!

Pros: The cleaning, kitchen and reception girls are lovely

Cons: The hotel is actually run by a person (behind the scenes) who controls the online bookings. They never answer the phone, they never reply to booking.com messages and requests. Everything has to be sorted in person.

Pros: Very good place. Loved it. Very nice location. Near to everything. Nice little patio. I had a spacious room with a nice view. I could even choose my room because the hostel was not full. Real hot water ! Good internet. Very nice staff. Nice breakfast with fresh fruit, bread with egg and tea. And you can get a heater ifyou want ! :)

Cons: Breakfast is not included. The restaurant doesn't serve at night. Its a the top of a hill so you have to walk a little up to get there. In my room, room number 1 there were little open windows in my private bathroom connecting with other bathrooms for aeration I guess which were not very nice because I could be heard and hear everything the others were doing in the toilets and also I was afraid a pervert would look through or take videos of me under the shower which is not very reassuring. At 1st it was ok because nobody was using the facilities but then new people came and I was a bit paranoid. I told the reception and I am sure they will do something about it in the near future.

Pros: The hostel is in a quiet Location. The Terraces are Nice. The breakfast is ok.

Cons: The stuff was sometimes too strict with rules, too Much rules, for a hostel made for Backpackers. Looking only in The evening alowed.

Pros: The house is beautiful and elegant, the terrace a nice place to come to rest. The beds were very comfortable, the rooms were clean. Breakfast is small but ok.

Cons: 6 bed-dorm downstairs has no windows and is quite noisy in the morning (because next to the kitchen), but overall it's clean and the beds are comfortable. On every wall of the house were prohibition signs attached to announce what you could not do, what was not included in the service, what would not be respectable... The negative way of stating these houserules (and there were a lot) made the atmosphere a bit stark. Maybe you could state them in a positive way. Eg: "Please think of mother earth and shower only three minutes." This has such a big impact on the atmosphere! The hours before we left (check-out was at 11 am) to catch our night bus at 11 pm, we came back to the hostel to pick up our stuff (as we were allowed to according to the girl who worked in the morning), rest a bit in the sofa and heat up a bit of soup that we made the evening before (and 1 mobile phone was plugged in). The manager of the hostel came up to us and said that this was only the second time in 3 years that she had met such rude and disrespectful guests. This because we used the common area (kitchen +living room) after check-out) We didn't know about anything! If we would have known, we would have paid an extra fee for the 5mins of gas that we had used. She insisted that we wouldn't pay (after a 15-min speech of hers) after a long discussion where we tried to explain that it was never our intention to be rude of to get profit out of the situation. I felt overwhelmed about her negativity, her distrust in guests. The other workers were very friendly, but the manager made us feel very unwelcome.

Pros: good place to rest. The beds are very comfortable and large, breakfast is varied and the area is very quiet near the cable car and there is a minibus that brought me close from the airport.

Cons: A guest was disrespectful, the owner asked him to respect others but also treated her badly. It is not the hostel's fault but for a moment there was no calm.

Pros: The staff was very helpful and friendly, and the beds in the 8 bed dorm were so comfy. The breakfast was nice, and the common spaces were all very comfortable. Especially loved the terrace on the second floor with great views of the cable cars and mountains. Great value for what you get.

Cons: There was no toilet paper for a couple days and could have been replaced a little sooner.

Pros: Nice hostal. Cheap and clean. Breakfast is included and the staff is helpful.

Pros: Good wifi, decent breakfast. Cheap. I came very late and they were still awake.

Cons: Not plug at each bed.

Pros: anything to complaint about, we could left our lugagge here during our trek near La Paz. nice terrace. it was quite cold there, but guess it is normal in this city.

Cons: very bad cofee for breakfast

Cons: I have to say thar I've never felt so surrounded by rules in a hostel before like I did at Llama's House. *You only can cook between 6:30 and 9:30 (yes, no lunch) *You can drink only one cup of coffee in the morning *You're not allowed to wash clothes by hand. According to them, is too expansive And also, the owner is always in a bad mood. So the place is nice, very clean and the staff are helpful. But the environment isn't. I wouldn't recommend.

Pros: The outstanding level of service and comfort and warm family atmosphere I received here at Llama's House in La Paz, is simply beyond description!!! I've spent about 17 nights here. My plans were to travel around and do many things. However, my body had other ideas and instead I've spent a good 10 days of my stay in bed. Not only did Llama House upgrade me free of charge from a 8 to a 4 dorm bed but they even made sure that I had to share this dorm with as few people as possible during my stay while sick. The owners created such a warm sweet family atmosphere for all of us here, especially during the Christmas and New Years period that I literally felt like I was staying at home with family. These are the sweetest, kindest people. The hostel is safe, clean and in a perfect, central location. Breakfast is Lovely and the whole house feels like a home. I'd highly recommend this excellent hostel to any travelers visiting La Paz. You couldn't do better.

Cons: Not a single thing!

Cons: You can only use the kitchen from 6:30pm until 11pm. If you want to use before you need to pay for it.

Pros: Location was good - that is literally all that is good about this place

Cons: Water was either boiling or frozen and smelled like poo, the cleaners did not come in for two days (GROSS given you put toilet paper in a tiny bin), also meaning we had to beg for more toilet paper - which the staff were really snooty about asking 'did we really need it?' (sure, I'm just asking for fun), also they would not even give us clean sheets to change the bed ourselves over the days the cleaners didn't come in, there are weird glass bricks connecting rooms meaning if the light is on in another room it'll wake you up, and the cherry on top of the cake - at one point someone managed to enter our room while we were sleeping with a key that wasn't even for our room (travelled as a couple but if I had been alone I would have completely freaked out)

Cons: This is the worst hostel I’ve ever been to. Don’t set a foot there, you’ll regret it. The room doesn’t have a window! It looks like a cell in a prison. The bathroom is filthy, not like: haha the maiden lost a hair when she cleaned it, but like: there is hair clogging the drain, which Hagrid left there in September 2001. Also it looks like the Place the Dursleys were hiding from him. Next thing: it’s incredibly loud. You can hear people sneezing 3 floors upstairs. Even the wood in the room is loud, it’s like you’re walking on broken bones. When people are walking in the hall, you might as well join their conversation, because you can hear every word clearly as if you’re standing next to them. Last thing, which really broke the straw: they put up 3 bottles of water for you in the room, just a bottle on the nightstand. You could think it’s because of the altitude and to help you acclimate. When you drink it, you have to pay 20 bs for it. Not a big deal, if we knew upfront. But no, they just give it to you like a nice gesture and just don’t tell you, you’re supposed to pay.

Pros: Great beds, hot showers.

Cons: Staff wasn’t to eager to help.

Cons: Zero storage in room, could add hooks?? Noise from reception - the receptionist was playing his music till 12. There are clear blocks in the wall which means when a room close to you turns their light on you may as well have yours on.

Pros: - The location of this hostel is amazing, very central and close to important places, - We had a very nice view from the room - Some of the staff was helpful and friendly

Cons: - Very dirty shared bathrooms, which were not cleaned every day. It would seem that having toilet brush is a basic thing, but the hotel management did not think about having one. Which resulted in toilets full of human feces that were not cleaned. - Although we asked multiple times the receptionist for cleaning ladies to not come to our room. They have come to our room on numerous occasion, once even without knocking. - The hotel doesn't specify on the booking website that you can use the kitchen only in the specific times. We wanted to prepare our own breakfast which was a problem... - We were accused of not cleaning our dishes although we did clean them, the manager can check next time the cameras which are in the kitchen. On top of that, she was very rude and pretended to understand english while she didn't. She did not let me finish a sentence and was very hostile!

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Worst Hotel ever. First you are welcomed by unpleasant people that announce you some hidden costs that weren't asked on Booking. Then you realize there are no facilities in the hotel, no access to the kitchen for whatsoever, even just for storing something in the fridge. And in the morning you have to deal with the cold and dirty shower with some sewers smell that make you want to puke Even at cheap price it's so not worth it, we left after one night. Didn't try any other hotel in the center but there are some cheaper hotels that are great in Sopocachi, a very pleasant neighbourhood...
