La Paz hotels near San Francisco Church

Pros: Very large apartment with kitchen, suitable for family or those with babies. Dinner was good.

Cons: Standard is far from a 5 star hotel. Very old apartment building far from international standard on many aspects, fixtures, facilities, services. Looks like designed in the 80s and many things worn out. Location is very far from the main area, had to walk and climb many stairs over 25 minutes to the witches market in altitude, it was exhausting to get to the Centre. Upon arrival, the staff could not find our booking and did not have our room prepared. I had to show the booking.com confirmation. For a queen size double bed, there was only one pillow. Nobody introduced the facilities to us probably. I only found out there were hot tea at the entrance from reading others reviews. Kitchen and apartment is large but mostly useless and unthoughtful design spaces. Before arrival we tried to contact hotel via booking to book a taxi pick up but didn’t reply. Got our bus tour guide to call up hotel and hotel said cannot organize taxi. As a 5 star hotel, it was unbelievable! Eventually our bus tour guide helped us to get a taxi to hotel instead. Breakfast had little choices and disappointing. Gym was only a room with few machines. We were woken up 4am twice in the morning by some alarm. We asked the front desk what was that about or did they set morning call wrongly for someone else to our room, the staff had no idea... All we wanted was just a good night sleep ... Overall very disappointing. Not worth the price at all. Felt got cheated on a 2star apartment paying for a 5 star hotel

Pros: Wanted to stay for 1 night, ended up staying for 4 nights. The appartment was cosy and clean, the views fantastic, breakfasts incredibly diverse and delicious and the stuff always friendly and very helpful! The in-house steakhouse is also superb. I absolutely recommend!

Pros: The hotel is pretty good. It’s located in a safe and quite neighbourhood and the room is spacious. The front desk of this hotel is friendly and they helped us a lot. The hotel provides breakfast and the fruits are nice. Overall the experience is exceptional and I definitely recommend this hotel!

Pros: The rooms in the hotel are really big, they have a kitchen and a living room. The view from the 8th floor was really good. Since it is really comfortable and the staff is really friendly, it is perfect for getting used to the altitude. In our view it is also really good value for money. It is also very close to the mi teleferico public transport system (teatro aire libre on the white line)

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Great location

Cons: My friend and I were staying in the same room but travelling separately; we booked taxis to depart the hotel two different times, one at 2am, one at 6.20am. Reception staff struggled to cope with this and when my friend left at 2am a man from the hotel came into my room while I was asleep!!! I called reception and they told me my friend had checked out, I assume that they thought that the room was vacant, but the room was in my name and they were unapologetic. The breakfast was fair but the buffet started later than advertised. I was advised continental breakfast until 6am, buffet from 6am. On the two occasions I went at 6am there was no buffet available.

Pros: Staff is friendly and has knowledge of La Paz sightseeing. Taxi fee can be charged to a room, which you do not need to prepare for cash

Cons: Location is a bit difficult to find The facility is not new

Cons: The booking process on Kayak sucked. when I booked, the confirmation page said I still need to complete the dress/ postal code fields and indicated that no charge had been put through on my card. so ai assumed the booking was not complete. I ended up being double charged.

Pros: Great Hotel.

Pros: Hotel was clean, staff was very friendly and helpful

Cons: We went there for the pool and spa. It's holiday season in Bolivia, and it is absurd to close those facilities for maintenance precisely during this time!

Pros: Very friendly staff. Breakfast not as bad as in other review's, but also not flabbergasted... Locker in room.

Cons: Hotel is out dated. Looks like interior from USSR, especially the roof bar. Shower with a curtain, this is not done in any place. Shower itself gave good flow of water. Feather blankets lost most of the feathers over the years.

Pros: Very helpful, great king size bed, great food and easy to exchange money. I booked a massage through them and the lady was Brilliant!

Pros: Good location, clean excellent staff and attention.

Cons: N/A

Pros: The room had a lot of space. Also the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was good. I would definitely go again for this hotel. Thanks.

Pros: I loved the staff and the food!

Cons: We are chemical sensitive and the hotel loves to spray cleaners and keep the place very polished but it is not good for people who want a natural environment.

Pros: Location was in the nice part of the City at the lower end about 5 min walk from the blue & grey cable car terminal. The suite we had was very large and well laid out. The staff were super helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We’re are heading back again to stay there later this week.

Cons: Only thing I didn’t like was the power of the water in the shower.

Pros: Everything nice end clean big like. A home

Cons: Nothing

Pros: I liked that the staff were very helpful with one of our group members traveling on crutches and wheelchair, and very accommodating to the rest of our group, supplying heaters and towels. The shower was hot and breakfast plentiful. The service definitely exceeded my expectations based on the price!

Pros: We’d stayed here previously prior to going to the Amazon for a few days so knew we liked the location and that the rooms were a little dated but comfortable and a cheap and cheerful place to stay.

Cons: The bed we had the second time around was a lot less comfortable than the last and the shower room this time was not clean. There were clumps of hair on the bathroom floor and in the shower which was unpleasant.

Pros: I was given a room that I assume was newly-renovated. It was much nicer than what I had expected. The facilities were beautiful, the showers were really hot and the internet was very decent.

Cons: Prior to my arrival, the hotel had confirmed that they would store my luggage until check-in since I was to arrive early (and I was not willing to pay for half a night’s stay to have the room early). When I arrived, I was told that my room was ready and that I could have it early. I said I would only take it if I didn’t have to pay extra. Otherwise I was ok with waiting a few hours. The man at reception reacted by just taking me to the room. That should have been a sign but at the time, I was naive and assumed it was just a nice surpris. During the following three days, three more staff members confirmed that their colleague had made a mistake, but still tried to get me to pay extra for that day. It started to make me really angry. The staff was nice, but either really disorganized or trying to get more money out of me (or both). Every one of them eventually agreed I shouldn’t have to pay, but none made a note of it on my file. I started anticipating having to plead my case every time I walked into te reception, which affected how ai felt about the place. On my final day, I paid for an extra night even though I wasn’t going to sleep there. I wanted to rest before my 2am flight. I was so over arguing that I didn’t even bother bringing this point up: How is it that arriving early would have cost me half a night’s stay but staying late wound up costing a full night’s stay? Be aware you might have to plead your case.

Pros: Good location - close to the centre and also a few nice restaurants. Room was tidy and bed comfortable. Shower room next door. Good breakfast.

Cons: Wifi a little temperamental. Rooms can be cold so request heater from reception which they kindly offer.

Pros: The location, the inner patios and the staff.

Cons: they're remodeling the hostal, our room was one of those that weren't. Anyway, the room was very nice but a in the need for the same work as the room in which some other friends stayed.

Pros: Their room heating is poor, and using the the old fashioned heater.

Cons: hot water shower is poor and weak.

Pros: Heated room. Lovely comfortable bed. Historic building. Great location.

Cons: The room had been renovated very recently but did not have an extractor fan fitted yet.

Pros: The staff was friendly. Breakfast was nice. Patio is very nice. Location is great. Showers were hot. Wifi is good! Beds are comfortable.

Cons: The hotel was under renovation when we arrived and therefore the room obtained was not the best quality. It seemed not taken care of with cracks in wall and seemed kind of like a room of a haunted home. We seemed to be the only ones in the hotel at that time. For the price, i think the host should consider to lower pricing if the rooms are not 100% ready for visitors.

Pros: Very hot water available 24hrs for showers. Nice big room, comfortable bed. Nice view from the room down to the beach. They also had a nice garden with llamas you could feed, a common area with TV, various places with stone tables n chairs or hammocks. Very relaxing and quiet.

Cons: It was cold in the room. Small heater provided but wasn't very effective. Wifi didn't work

Pros: As a former residence of one of Bolivia's many presidents it offered an unique atmosphere with two patios and fitting furniture. The staff were very friendly and helpful, we could store our luggage at 6 o'clock in the morning after an early arrival in La Paz.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: We arrived at 4am to find the place locked up - gangs surrounding the streets which was scary. Thankfully our taxi driver rang and eventually a night clerk came out. The hotel is FREEZING with no internal heating. We got given an electric heater that didn’t work. Because we arrived so late in the early am, we missed breakfast and I asked about a coffee at 11am the next day and was met with disdain. The hotel staff know nothing of the city so asking them tourist questions was useless. They had a party going on until 2am this morning which I complained about at 1am after going downstairs because I couldn’t sleep from the noise and they said too bad. At 2am the party died off but at 8am, construction started next door. I wouldn’t rate this place at all.

Pros: They allowed us very early check in

Cons: The bed linen were dirty, all in stains. It was very cold and loud in our room. The breakfast consist of bread, jam, cornflakes, fried egg on request, juice, coffee and tea. The second day the personal forgot of preparing us the breakfast box which we requested since we were leaving early.

Pros: Nice location in terms of access to downtown and places we wanted to see. Attentive staff. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good.

Cons: We had two people caution us about the location of the hotel. They said, separately, that the area was unsafe especially after 9:00 at night. Having said that, we had no trouble with anyone.

Pros: After staying in hostels for the two weeks prior it was a nice change. Was a little eerie arriving at 3am (roller door was closed and hotel looked closed) but a the staff member stayed awake to check me in which was nice and appreciated. Clean rooms, free drinking water, fantastic location.

Cons: The wifi doesn't work in the rooms, only the hallways and in the lobby.

Pros: Location It was a very cold environment

Cons: Staff at reception a bit inflexable

Pros: The room was big and the shower was excellent. Also, TV was good to watch! And they had cable.

Cons: The pillows were hard and it got a little cold at night.
