Hotel berhampiran AUTOMOTIVOS ROSSEL 1, El Alto

Pequeno e sem ventilação e com barulho! Como tínhamos voo cedo para Uyuni aproveitamos a oportunidade para não ter que sair do aeroporto. O banheiro que usamos foi o do aeroporto, a cama era bem pequena. E o preço salgado pelo que foi oferecido!

We stayed several nights at the Golden Palace and found it to be comfortable, clean and secure. Family-owned and run, Eric and his wife at the front desk, made up for any shortfalls! They were so warm and friendly, they were happy to help to make sure we had a great visit. They gave us a new room away from the street noise, they got us a heater for the room when the temperature dropped and they helped us find winter coats, banks and directions to vegetarian restaurants without getting ripped off. They made LaPaz easy and manageable!!! Thank You Golden Palace!!

This is a funky hotel well located amid the main tourist attractions of La Paz, with easy walks to the witches market, the nearest cable car station, the main square, San Francisco Plaza, Jaen Street with its museums, etc. The breakfast was good, with your choice of a hot egg dish plus fresh fruit and various breads. Our only complaint was our room was an interior room, looking out onto the hallway and lacked fresh air. but this was minor, unavoidable given the design, and not all rooms had this problem.

2-nights solo stay in April 2019. The hotel is located in the touristy part of old town, close to the Witches’ Market (Mercado de las Brujas). That might sound like a good thing, but it isn’t – the area reminded me of Old Delhi… dirty, busy and crowded. I was in a room overlooking the main road, and the windows just couldn’t keep the noise out. Note that despite the chaotic traffic and crowds, the area didn’t feel unsafe, even late at night. Plaza Major de San Francisco, Plaza Murillo and the Teleferico stations for cable cars to El Alto or Zona Sur aren’t very close, but walkable from the hotel (keep in mind that La Paz has steep hills). The hotel is in an old building with LOTS of staircases and open-air areas. Again, it sounds like a good idea until you have to run across an open terrace in pouring rain to get to your room. Also, access to many (most?) rooms requires climbing at least a few stairs. The walls are paper-thin and you can clearly hear conversations and other sounds from adjoining rooms. And that leads to my next gripe / observation – the room safe requires an advance science degree to operate. I read and re-read the instructions in full before being able to use it. Unfortunately, due to the paper-thin walls and the complexity of the room safe, I was woken up at 3am one night by the folks next door repeatedly failing to open their safe by entering wrong number combinations. I heard every beep of them keying in the numbers, the safe mechanism turning, and then beeping to indicate incorrect numbers. The room has an electric room heater, and extra blankets are available in the cupboard. The free WiFi had a good speed. I thought the buffet breakfast finished early for a hotel aimed at tourists. Food availability was an issue both mornings that I ate there, as popular items ran out and weren’t replaced. I was disappointed by the hotel’s service, particularly due to two incidents: • I got drenched in a sudden downpour one evening, and was told the hotel couldn’t provide an iron and ironing board when I asked, in order to dry my clothes. The person I spoke to didn’t offer any other ideas to help with the situation • I asked the receptionist while checking-out to mail postcards for me, and gave him BOB100 for stamps and his assistance. Those are the only postcards from my South America trip that didn’t arrive Free tea and hot water are available in the lobby area. I won’t stay again at the Hotel Rosario – the hotel, the service and the location just didn’t do it for me, especially for the price I paid. I plan to stay in the trendy Sopocachi area next time I’m in La Paz; or the vibrant San Miguel area in Zona Sur.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location was perfect, close to major attractions and public transport. The staffs was incredibly friendly and responsive, providing helpful local tips. The space was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything I needed. Highly recommend this place for a comfortable and convenient stay!

Have been travelling for 3 weeks now round South America and this is the best hostel so far. It’s really close to the bus station so very easy to find and very convenient. Everyone that works here is great and super friendly. The rooms are really nice and so are the bathrooms

Rooftop Bolivia is a great place to start exploring the city, nice people at the desk and the building is quite impressive from the inside, charming furniture with a touch of modern elements...totally recommendable. They offer a good breakfast and several dishes for lunch and dinner. Come here and find out😉
