Decent stay, good price
Busy hostel in busy part of El Alto. Very convenient for the airport, and the hotel arranged a pick up and also got me a tasty food take away delivered. The bed was also really comfortable. Only downside was check in was a bit clunky until the person with a bit of English rocked up.

Fine hostal room, but beware extra fees
We arrived at 4am from the airport as a stop off point. When we got there we were informed there would be a $13 USD fee per night or we couldn't access our room. With no Internet and little information we had no choice, despite this almost doubling the cost of our stay. In the small print it mentions the fee but does not say per night. After finding out there was no 'city tax' and nowhere else charged this fee we challenged the receptionist but were told to contact the booking agent. Still not had a response after over a week of waiting and chasing.
The place is fine and functional in general, if a bit cold with a shower that takes ages to heat up. But only stay with eyes wide open to extra fees if you think you're getting a good deal

Don’t really recommend
Staff very friendly, good hospitality. But beds were not comfortable and too small for 2 European persons. Shower was a disaster: Water heated electrically was extremely hot but with 3 cold beams... very annoying.

The front desk lady was very accommodating to us. She allowed for an early check in, was extremely thoughtful & kind. She organized a taxi to the airport & met us prior to us departing very early in the morning.
The room was extremely cold, the procedure of paying & reserving on Expedia seemed unfamiliar upon check in.

Les conditions extérieures dans la ville de el alto fu très difficile (véritable guerre civile), impossible de sortir de l’hôtel pour notre sécurité. Le personnel a été incroyable, aux petits soins, j’espère que la situation va se remettre pour eux. Je recommande vivement cet hôtel.
El servicio de la señorita de recepción súper amable, te dan té, y pan de cortesía, te piden comida al cuarto si lo deseas y servicio de taxi. La habitación muy cómoda y bonita. Muy cerca del aeropuerto El Alto. Súper recomendable!
