    Saturday was market day which runs down the street right outside the hotel so it's very difficult to park to unload your luggage.. parking is a few blocks away from the hotel

    Very Helpful staff Hotel had lift Secure parking for my motorcycle Good location to walk into town for restaurants

    Comfortable hotel in a great location

    Whilst the room appeared to have been decorated recently, the fixtures and fittings were not great - the handle on the bathroom door was loose and fell off a couple of times; the lock to the main door was very tricky to lock and unlock; the toilet cistern did not stop filling, so water was being wasted; and most of the electric sockets were too 'loose' to hold our plugs securely for our appliances. A shame, because these matters would have been easy to correct.

    The hotel is in a great location, right next to the cable car and only a few blocks from the main square. The staff were friendly and helpful. We had a nice large room on the 6th floor with comfortable beds and plenty of blankets. The room was lovely and warm, once we had worked out how to operate the gas fire, and it was good to have a fridge in the room. The WiFi was great for most of our visit, but it was poor on the final day for some reason. Breakfast was fine on day 1, but there was very little choice on day 2.

    As rooms are in the center you’ll hear a lot of dogs barking and noise at night. No proper curtain, so wake up with sunrise

    Center location, comfy beds, clean room. Breakfast included

    Price was a bit high considering the demand during early-May. Room has no views or window.

    Breakfast was buffet style enough choice. Location was excellent. Hotel proprietor was friendly and gave good information.

    One of our rooms did not have a window to the outside, would have appreciated to know that before we checked in. Also, the heater turned off a few times over the night, I wound up starting it myself.

    Decent breakfast, location was pretty good for the city of Oruro, and it was a decent cost/beneft.

    A room without natural light was provided when we have been in contact previously with the hotel to ensure that we will receive a room with windows; the Lady in reception was kind enough to rembourse our payment but we had to look for another hotel.

    It took two days for them to accept that as foreign tourists we don't pay the IVA tax they tried to add to my bill. This is the law in Bolivia. Staff should be better trained to know this. We had room 204, terrible noise from water pump for the public sauna which was outside our window which had a gap in it too. They say they turn it off but they don't. Not at all a restful stay. Would never stay again.

    Cleanenless approximative (dark spots on the carpet, hair on the pillows). Shower head almost completely clogged. Cold room and staff not willing to fix the problem. Poor lighting...

    After a night trip, I arrived early morning and I must say that they were very nice letting me in before the check-in time.

    Small and cold room. No possibility to darken the room adequately. The floodlights on the square flooded our room the whole night. We had to ask several times for a portable heating unit. Not enough power sockets. No locker. Outdated decoration with awful painting. No warning about the scheduled noisy festivities on the square. The promised early breakfast was too late which caused stress at checkout. Staff had to divide their attention between hotel, mini-market and sauna.

    Friendly staff and ok location. Mini-market on ground floor.
