Hotels near Mamani Mamani Gallery, La Paz

We did two stays here during our Bolivia trip. The first was an early arrival and overnight (our flight arrived at 6am - so we had early checkin and that same night). We went to Sun Island for a night then came back for our second stay - an afternoon arrival before flying out the next day. The best part about this hotel is the location. It's near two squares/ plazas that were cool to walk to for some good people watching. We didn't have a car and this hotel was booked by our tour operator. A second positive was a friendly staff. When the property owner doesn't maintain the property, that's not the staffs fault. They were doing their best and I am grateful. I also appreciated the US-able plugs so I didn't need an adapter! 8-) I would actively avoid this hotel in the future. Room #1 - Our first room was absurdly hot and facing a main square. Between the people noise and car horns until 2am, you couldn't open the windows AND sleep. They need to put fans in the room. Room #2 - This was a suite, which had a living room with a lot of space. However, it reached with a scent like bug spray. That made us even more worried that something would tag along in our bag. Restaurant - We did ”breakfast” here both days and tried it for dinner. We don't eat eggs, and a hot omelette right and been good. Aside from that, the pastry and other stuff was very underwhelming. We basically didn't eat breakfast. Overall property is VERY rundown. The carpet in the hallways, the marks all over the hallway walls, and the overall decor are horribly in need up an update. Even a fresh coat of paint would help. If you ONLY want to use this hotel to sleep and shower, think of it like a motel. I wouldn't stay here again.

The hotel is in a good location, 100 meters from the Basilica of San Francisco, about 2 streets on Witch Street, and a few hundred meters walk from the Presidential Capitol. The hotel service is very good, the front desk is very welcoming, and tea snacks are served every day. The restaurant is good for breakfast, lunch and dinner and afternoon tea are good. Basically, dining in La Paz has been chosen at the hotel. The hotel is a historical building remodeled.

This is an excellent hotel, just outside the main centre of La Paz. The rooms are of an excellent quality, with a good sized main room and bathroom. The hotel accommodated my early arrival into La Paz and allowed me to check into my room at 8am for a reasonable price. The breakfast were varied in content but always of a very good standard, with a spectacular view of La Paz from the main restaurant on the 8th floor. The laundry service the hotel offers was also useful after 2 weeks of travelling! The only thing that would have been useful is tea/coffee facilities and maybe a fridge in the room, but such services are provided by main reception. I would definitely stay at this hotel again the next time I am in La Paz.

I was a guest of the this hotel for about 12 nights. Very loyal to this hotel until they charged me $20 for a guest that was here for 2 hours and my room is just over $20 per night. I started booking for 2 people so this does not occur and they tried to charge almost 100% again. I did laundry here and my 8 shirts and 8 socks ended up costing $32 which is more than 2 person stay. I called 4 other hotels and I would have paid about $2-3. They are greedy with everything here. Also, don't exchange dollars here, I found the exchange houses that give me 8.3 instead if the 7.5 rate here. One lady charged me extra for eggs so I thought it was the norm then the rest of the days I got free eggs for breakfast so not sure if she was lying. Some days they don't have any eggs available and some they do. The breakfast is free and included so mot sure why I was paying her for the eggs. Overall I have a bitter taste staying here with all the extra fees after staying here for so many days and exchanging over $1,000. In the end they don't care and I started exchanging at the exchange houses and not referring my local friends to this greedy hotel.

The service is attentive, hospitable, the location is excellent, the cable car is very convenient, the breakfast is rich, breakfast starts at 4 in the morning, very considerate to those who catch the early flight. Will choose this hotel next time.

On the first night I was in a 4 bed dorm and I was woken up at 4 am by the receptionist and a security guard. They got me out of bed and made me show my room key and guest card, as apparently in their system the room should be empty. Well, I was in the right room and I was taken out of bed without any need, apparently the receptionist registered me on room 307 and gave me the keys of 407. It was very unpleasant and I had a terrible sleep after that. I wonder why they couldn't wait until later to settle the matter. So I went to the reception to negotiate some kind of compensation for the unpleasant situation they had put me through, I suggested a complimentary breakfast (it costs about U$4.50). But they basically replied that they didn't care about the situation and that I could complain wherever I wanted. Selina is not a cheap hostel, so you're expected to at least be treated well, which was not the case. Before this happened, I would easily give it five stars, as it is comfortable, safe, clean. But the way they treated me wasn't fair, they treated me like I was doing something wrong, when in fact it was their mistake. Second night the private room smelled cigarette, I also let reception know but nothing was made. There were some dishes from a previous guest at the door and they stayed there until my check out. Both nights were very noisy. During check out I had to request the refund of the 35bs key deposit they charged me when checking in, but they said it wasn't registered on the system (again another ”system” mistake), so I had to insist I paid, very uncomfortable situation once more. It seems Selina La Paz needs to improve its management. The whole situation will definitely make me think twice about staying at another Selina.

The location is superb as it is next to the cable car station. The views from the bedroom were amazing and the receptionist was so warm and welcoming upon check-in.

Lovely hotel in good location. Spacious room with a lovely view and comfortable bed. Food was very good and well priced. The buffet breakfast had a nice selection of foods. The Casabar on the top floor was a great place for evening drinks. The hotel had a swimming pool and zacuzzi - again with super views and a lovely place to relax. I haven't yet mentioned the best thing of all about the hotel and that was the staff. To a person they were incredibly helpful, friendly and could not do enough to ensure you had just the best stay at Casa Grande.

The service was impeccable and our time there was made really easy and special. We were able to book private taxis and check in early. It was our anniversary so they went the extra mile to ensure that it was a special day. The pool view is amazing, and the facilities are excellent. Breakfast was great, and there was an egg station for any kind of egg you want.

It is speculated that the hotel was opened by the boss in China. The daily necessities in the room are very suitable for the Chinese. There is a hot water bottle, disposable slippers, breakfast is equipped with sweet potato porridge, tomato egg noodles, and mustard butterfly. Can you not love it? Hahaha, I have been missing for more than a month after leaving home.
