Customer Reviews La Paz - HI Onkel Inn 1886

25 Apr 2012 Winfried, Australia
From thirty years of backpacking and a life member of yha, this is the worst hostel I have stayed in. None of the showers worked, none of the staff spoke english, breakfast was non-existent and there were triple bunks in some dorms. The place was a rabbit warren with only a single enterance and would be deadly with a fire. The hot water consisted of electric heaters on the shower head, something I have never seen before. I strongly recomend that YHA protect its brand name and find a better place in La Paz for a hostel. Winfried Hoerr 70000165

Almost everything was fine. Only missing lockers/storage boxes were a massive drawback. (to be fair and correct: boxes were present but the necessary keys were not...)

The breakfast is not worth its name. The rest is fine!

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.

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.
