"The hostel is on the loudest corner of La Paz probably, there were loud street parties every single night that kept us up until 3am. The bed had crusted stains. And the whole place is a pro Israeli military establishment, with propaganda posters all over. Lastly, the showers were ice cold every time."

Illampu Art Boutique Hotel

Illampu Art Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is ideally located. Very close to majority of the attractions and almost all the tours will start from there. Breakfast is decent with a wonderful view. Room is spacious and comfortable. 2 things to be improved: bathroom floor can get wet and takes time to dry, room cleaning wasn’t done for 2 days until I ask the reception."
