Next to the old Paseo del Prado, invaded by the modern town skyscrapers and by the nightlife area in the nearby neighbourhoods (Sopocachi and some others), the best nightlife area for all tastes and expectations, Pubs, Cafés, Clubs, the new Bolivian cinema and other cultural spots of the contemporary life of the city of La Paz, squares and parks, Urbano Central Park, with a jogging and cycling trail.

| The breakfast was unbelievable poor. It would be better to do not include it in the the night package. They did not have milk, and the bread was from days ago. | ||
| 28 Dec 2011 Ian, Brazil | 77% | |
| No comments about the private matrimonial room. Terrible. I would recommend to my worst enemy. | ||

| Please improve the breakfast.The breakfast is horrible! Mixing the jam with water is a shame! Also provide fresh bread of otherwise don't serve breakfast!
If you book a double room here it is the same as sleeping in a doorm because there is no wall between the double room and doorms. | ||

| Pub crawl organised were not as described : entrance at Pacha club sold for a nothing special club... No value for money. Meeting point not clearly defined. Not as described as well. Sad since team is really nice. Would need a bit more professionalism. | ||

| They could have better showers (by gas and not electric), because La paz is very cold and with eletric showers the water doesn´t get very hot. | ||

| The staff were extremely rude and we had to argue with them to get our 10% discount because we were HI members. They were never there to let anyone in, so we waited forever to get into the building and then through the door to our room. The breakfast was extremely bad, hardly any for an advertsied ¨buffet¨ and one morning i had to prepare it myself as the staff was nowhere to be seen. it advertsied a jaccuzzi which had no water in it and was way overpriced. | ||

| The manager, Zadin, was absolutely fantastic. His personal attention to detail and our stay was brilliant. He made 3 gringo´s feel welcome and very comfortable. Certainly one of the best things about this property. So good in fact we stayed again on our return from the Amazon!! | ||

| I had many black hairs in the shower of my single room. When I changed to
a dorm the next day, again my fresh bed was full
of
black
hairs. I changed the room
at 11.00
am
and at 8pm the staff told
me that I have to
pay the fee for the single
room for the second night as well. During breakfast the bred was alwas empty and when someone came
to
refill it, she only put
3-4. slices inside. | ||
