7.6/10 Good! (96 reviews)
Place is located in the middle of town. Something that I will recommend is: change pillows, they are really uncomfortable

9/10 Wonderful! (282 reviews)
The building in general, the rooms and common areas, their good restaurant. All very nice and good. Located in the craziness of La Paz downtown yes, but once inside the hotel is an oasis of cleanliness and peace. Make sure you get a room facing inside, the one facing out was loud at night.

Popular places to visit

One of the better Bolivian markets I've visited, this one spreads out over an entire block in central Sucre. You can buy anything here from chillies to corkscrews to horse's heads! What I love about this place is that you walk into the fruit and veg section and the #market vendors will slice you off a piece of their produce for you to try. If you decide you want to buy, they'll ask you when you plan to eat the avocado/custard apple/mango, so that they can select one at exactly the right level of ripeness for you. Now that's service! There are also mini cafes/restaurants inside where you can get ridiculously cheap sit-down meals and smoothies.

From Grau, it's about a 10-minute walk up a very steep hill to reach Plaza Recoleta, but the views from up here make the short hike completely worthwhile. The Museum of Indigenous Art is up here too, and is definitely one of Sucre's most interesting museums. There's also a cafe
