Guest Reviews

• Atsushi (9/5): -
• Sergio Rodrigo Rosales (8/5): -
• Jose Luis (8/5): The location of the hostel is okay, close to the bus terminal and a decent walk to the makn landmarks of the city. The 6 - Good value for money The shared room I booked had 20 beds, this wasn’t explained when booking, and it’s definitely not nice.
• Pablo (5/5): -
• Holmes (8/5): Ideal para conocer el centro de La Paz y sitios clave. - La atención muy buena. El desayuno muy limitado.
• dominique (8/5): The place to be - Une mention pour le cocktail de bienvenue, parfait.
• Zuzanna (7/5): Todo perfecto pero la cocina horrible:( - Dan té caliente en todo momento. Siempre hay agua caliente para usar. La ducha caliente también. Tienen una cocina. Tienen una terraza con vista bonita 😍 Cocina muuuy sucia. Tienen que hacer una limpieza profunda! Poco higiénico! Hay muchas comidas dejadas por los huéspedes en la nevera y fuera. Nadie lo bota a la basura...
• Arthur D (10/5): -
• dominique (8/5): Pratique pour court séjour entre 2 bus. - Bien situé, indéniablement, et avec literie confortable dans dortoir non glacial. Manque les rideaux autour des lits, et un peu de place pour poser ses affaires.
• Jimenez Arias (9/5): - Muy bien ubicado. Muchos espacios sociales. Una muy buena terraza. Cóctel de bienvenida. Bodegaje.
• Amélie (8/5): Overall good - Good location (close to the teleferico, terminal de buses de La Paz, shops and markets), great ambiance and good music, a lot of common spaces to work and a nice terrasse. The toilets could be more cleaned, a lot of the time they were missing toilet tissue. Also, I don't like the fact that the dorm for women is more expensive.
• Sisterna sola (10/5): - Me encantó el trato, el ambiente tranquilo y una gente excelente
• Zhen (4/5): 隔音差 网络差 厨房差 离大巴站近点而已，睡不好得不偿失 - 离大巴站近 有厨房，但炉子打不着火，找前台，他们想到的不是修炉子而是卖你打火机。厨房脏且简陋 隔音差，网络也很差
• daihua (7/5): - 酒店所处地理位置好，离地铁站和大型超市很近。 不太卫生，窗台和窗户玻璃很脏。前台服务员对业务不熟悉，酒店明明规定到付，她却一而再，再而三地跟客人说“没有找到你付款！”
• Maëlle (9/5): - Very clean place. Perfect if you have to take a bus. The restaurant is really good and cheap
• Julie (8/5): Idéal pour un transit entre 2 bus pour se reposer - L’emplacement près de la gare routière, idéal quand son bus arrive très tôt Les escaliers menant aux chambres

• Gabriele (10/5): -
• Diana (5/5): - Close to the bus station, breakfast included. No window in room, bed sheets and towels had stains on. Floor was dirty, no cold water in sink tap.
• Frombeing (10/5): - 호스텔의 전형적인 모습. 모든 시설이 잘 갖춰져있고 직원들이 친절하고 매우 저렴하고 실용적이다 없슴
• Agnieszka (1/5): - THERE IS NO B&BB HOSTAL. YOU WILL BE AT ADVENTURE BREW HOSTAL (THE SAME BUILDING)
• SU MIN (10/5): 很棒！ - 位置很好，生活機能佳，去機場很方便。 早餐沒能吃的飽
• JuanCarlos (8/5): -
• Samantha Black (10/5): Perfect - Great hostel, ended up staying for 2 nights, the staff are super friendly and the rooms are perfect. Love love love the hot showers too!! Super close to the bus terminal, which is super handy. Thanks for a fab stay
• Arthur D (10/5): - The best new year party ever! Highly recommend!
• Kim (8/5): -
• SU MIN (9/5): 離公車總站很近，有廚房很好。 - 很好，很親切。 需要在一張紅色單子上簽名，並寫上護照號碼和出生年月日，覺得很奇怪。
• Samantha Black (10/5): Super comfortable and very friendly, helpful staff - I was a little bit stranded because of the blockade and the staff were responsive on WhatsApp, and made me feel so comfortable. I ended up staying a second night because of the blockade and they completely calmed my nerves and helped me navigate my next steps - highly recommend!! Just a short walk from the centre of La Paz, the famous witches market (what a vibe!) and the teleférico.
• Auck (10/5): - あさ早い飛行機でも、タクシーを安く手配してくれます。 おすすめです。
• franck (10/5): Super et emplacement top - L ‘ambiance et très à l écoute Nous avons tout aimé
• Arthur D (10/5): - El personal del hostal es genial, excelente ubicación, la comida por la noche es deliciosa y el desayuno es riquísimo. Las habitaciones son limpias. Muy lindo.
• Fatma (7/5): Lage perfekt, warmes Wasser zum Duschen, Bar ist cool, Rooftop Bar toll, Küche dreckig, Ausstattung veraltet - Lage ist perfekt Ausstattung veraltet, etwas laut, Personal zum Teil inkompetent
• Matija (10/5): -
• Maria (8/5): Welcoming and Comfortable - The hostel is about a 15 minute walking distance to the tourist market and other attractions. They have an in house bar and offered a free welcome drink for that evening. There are also seating areas to rest if you are waiting to go somewhere after check out. The staff was very nice as well. My room was on the 3rd floor so I needed to carry all my luggage up the stairs. If you are going to stay there, it is important to know this because if you have any kind of issue with mobility or, like me, if you are coming from a place of low altitude to La Paz (3,650 above sea level) then climbing the stair can cause an issue.

• christian (9/5): - Emplacement idéal si vous arrivez en bus. Très accueillants. Garde les sacs si besoin. Bonne ambiance Pas loin d un départ du téléphérique Essoufflement avec les escaliers à l'arrivée avec l'altitude... Mais c'est valable dans toute la ville
• ぴんや (9/5): バスターミナルから近い！ - ・共用部が広くコンセントもあるのでパソコン作業などに向いていて捗りました。ソファーもたくさんあった。 ・スタッフが親切。いつも笑顔で挨拶してくれて、さらに3人ほど英語が流暢だったのでコミュニケーションが簡単だった。 ・各ベッドにコンセント、ライト、ロッカーがあり便利。 ・ベッドの間隔が広くて快適。 ・少し高い位置にあり屋上からの景色がサイコー。 ・バスターミナルから近くて移動が簡単。 ・無料でコカ茶や紅茶が飲めました。 ・シャワーに勢いがあり熱々だった。 ・キッチンもあったのが有り難かった。（調理器具は少なめ） ・収容客の多いマンモスホステルなので少し苦手だった。 ・夕方から1階のバーが営業し始めると騒がしくなる。自分のドミトリーは3階だったので良かったが、1階2階の寝室は寝づらいかも。
• Aga PL (6/5): Sredni - Okolica super, blisko dworca autobusowego. . Pokoje prywatne ładne. Śniadanie podstawowe, ale są owoce. Darmowy drink powitalny. Pościel niedoprana, kołdry poplamione, brudne. Na dole są dostępne kubki do ogólnego użytku. Byłoby super, gdyby nie to, że do mycia ich jest dostępna tylko brudna ścierka i lodowata woda.
• Zinka Maite (9/5): Calidez y comodidad - La ubicación, el trato del personal, el desayuno y las infusiones calientes a toda hora y que teníamos todo lo necesario para una estancia cómoda. Hay muchos muebles vintage pero algunos necesitan un poco de restauración.
• Marc (10/5): - Accueil sympathique, même si les chambres au 3 ème étage nous ont donné un peu de mal 🤣
• Marc (10/5): - Emplacement et accueil
• Russell (10/5): Recommended ! - I recommend this hostel! Friendly, helpful staff, strong WiFi, hot water, large lockers, clean, roof terrace, free tea, lots of space, food and bar at reasonable prices, walking distance from bus terminal, tours available at cheap rates. I'd stay again! All good for me!
• Mar (7/5): Molt bon lloc per quedarse - Molt maco per dins, la gent molt amable. Feia molt de fred a la habitació, la estufa no va ajudar molt
• Arthur D (10/5): Harry Potter's castle - The place is incredible; it looks like Harry Potter's castle. The view from the castle is fantastic, and they give you a free drink upon arrival.

• Cowboy (10/5): inviting all Canadians and Europeans for a party - SUPER CLEAN KITCHEN, a working fridge with freezer, great location , 2 blocks from a HUGE MARKET, great staff. all good
• Xun (9/5): Superb -
• Lior (8/5): Very good -
• Rahul (8/5): Decent stay near Bus terminal - Room as nice with comfy beds, close to Bus terminal Showers have very less water pressure
• Sophie (7/5): Good - The room itself is nice, it’s set away from the communal area so it’s quieter. There’s a roof top and on the ground floor a bar/ restaurant with a pool table. A particular receptionist was much more helpful/ knowledgeable than a volunteer one who didn’t know any answers to our questions. The vibe felt a bit off, I can’t explain why but it just wasn’t the most social/ friendly place. The breakfast was very basic and the food we had for dinner took a long time to come out. It’s attached to another hostel which is located near the bottom of the building.
• Brett (7/5): Aussie and Malaysian in La Paz, Bolivia - We had an amazing view of La Paz from the accommodation balcony and our room window. Good value for money and 300m walk to the bus station. Close to gondola central terminal and walking distance to sites. Breakfast nice amd staff helpful especially the owner / manager. The room was a bit small, and we had to work out the shower hot water, but otherwise, great stay!
• Fabrizio (1/5): Bad -
• Tracey (6/5): Ok, probably wouldn’t stay again - On main st, near bus terminals. Big hostel, does have a bar if your into that. Kitchen was horrible and dirty. Wifi didn’t work unless you were in lobby. Bb&b was name but you paid for breakfast. Also has another name so adventure brew. The hop bus doesn’t recognise bb&b. Why have 2 names?
• Tracey (10/5): Exceptional - This is the first hostel we have stayed in and it had a nice chilled & relaxed atmosphere. We only stayed one night but would like to have stayed more. The room was nice with a lovely hot shower. We were able to check in early having arrived on night bus. They also stored our luggage after we checked out and were waiting for night bus. The only thing we found was the bedding wasn't comfortable. The pillows were flat and duvet was very heavy. But everything else was great
• Nicola (10/5): Best hostel in la Paz - Welcoming drink. Free hot drinks Happy Hour and promos
• Doriane (10/5): Exceptional - Went back 3 times. The place is huge, the showers hot (although no doors, just a curtain), bed are confortables and the place clean. There is a bar/restaurant on site which is really practical.
• Simona (9/5): Close to the bus terminal - Good location, 10min walking from the bus terminal and 5 min from big street of the city. Nice staff, a lot of common areas, bar. Free tee any time. Nice big terrace! Big room with socket and light for each bed. Comfy big bed and enough blankets! No curtains for some privacy. Locker for your bag, bring the lock! Breakfast is not included but it is available! Warm shower! Kitchen is available but not furnished at all and quiet dirty and not well maintained.
• Peter (7/5): Great value for money - It was a cheap place to stay. Big room, with a minimal kitchen. Multiple bathrooms. You are able to grab tea at any time during the day/night. You get a free welcome beverage which is very nice. Good value for your money. They also organise a lot of tours.
• Sara (6/5): Pleasant - Downstairs bar was nice with veggie options. Close to the bus station and centre of La Paz. Stains on bed sheets and noisy.
• Tolga (10/5): Exceptional -
• Maria (10/5): Nice place - Very nice place in La Paz Down town. Had a room right next to the street, alot of smoke from cars went in the room. Wifi not really good, but it worked.
• Christopher (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tetsugoro (1/5): RUDE OWNER 日本人をバカにしている - 日本人にはオススメしません。自分の失礼な言動を反省しない、逆に日本の文化、日本人の考え方が悪いと主張しだすようなオーナーのところには泊まらないでください。La Pazには他に良いホステルがたくさんあります。 I didn't have a reservation upon arrival, but had checked Booking.com in advance (it showed 30BOB for a dorm bed). I asked the staff at the reception if I could stay for the price shown on Booking.com, the staff messaged the owner, owner replied that it's normally 42BOB. I told him I can book through booking.com, it's simpler (and cheaper of course), and so that's what I did. Somehow the staff could not check me in, and I had to wait for an hour at the lobby until the owner finally came back. Then upon check in, the first thing the owner said was "You chose this hostel because it's cheap?"... I was very confused. First of all, I usually choose hostels by looking at many different aspects. But if I did choose a hostel by looking at the price, there is nothing wrong about that either. I suspected that the owner was upset because I got a cheaper price, but the price on booking.com was what the owner had decided in the first place, I did not set the price and it's not my fault if he loses money. If he doesn't like people coming to his hostel because it's cheap, or if he doesn't like people choosing the cheapest way to book a room, then he should simply raise the price and stop trying to put competitive prices on booking sites. After a moment, I replied to him saying "I don't understand what you mean". However he probably misunderstood that I didn't understand English and asked "Do you speak English?". I'm Japanese but I lived in the US, I speak English much better than him. But he started talking disrespectfully about other Japanese guests he had in the past, and that some couldn't speak a single word in English etc. It's simply rude to talk about other guests that way, and he should look at his own people first.
• Aleksandras (10/5): Exceptional - The staff was very friendly, the room was very clean, the hotel is in an amazing location.
• Deborah (7/5): Great location for catching the bus and only a short walk into the old town. - We used the hostel was a day stay before catching the overnight bus, so it was perfect for that. They let us drop our bags off early so that was super convenient.
• Kaapo (8/5): Very good - Good location, second time staying here A quiet hostel for its size, atleast during my visit Cold and a bit noisy
• Marieke (10/5): Great location - Great location, close to the bus station & the owner is really nice and helpful
• Luca (8/5): Very good -
• Kaapo (10/5): Exceptional - Apartment complex was perfect, good beds, hot water
• Malu (8/5): Very good - It's a backpackers hostel. Facilities are not great but good enough if you're young and on a budget. Good areas to hang around if you don't mind worn out furnitures. Facilities in the shared areas are worn out and dated.
• Ophelia (10/5): Thank you so much for everything! - Individual charging and light sockets near the beds and designated lockers. Lockers were big (could fit both my travel bags), showers were hot, many toilets available. No kitchen to cook anything but they have hot water and a microwave. Staff were excellent!! Gave lots of local tips and I booked my uyuni tour with them as well! No communal kitchen to cook but they have a restaurant in house.
• Alistair (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anique (4/5): Disappointing -
• Mteny (8/5): Very good - Nicely located right next to the bus station. Staff seemed friendly. Stayed in the four bed dorm and this was very spacious with lockers for each bed. Mattress was very old and uncomfortable. Quite noisy during the night as the hostel is next to a busy street. They seemed to be promoting it as a party hostel - not really sure why when it seemed like a decently chill place to stay. Also a small note: it is now called Adventure Brew Hostel, not BB&B. This was a bit confusing when checking in.
• Chloé (9/5): Superb - super nice atmosphere and chill common spaces! made a lot of friends in that hostel :)
• Pauline (1/5): Bad - Nice and spacious place Staff absolutely not proactive, and very dependent from the owner. I had to switch hostel and the owner was absolutely not helpful nor compliant... Cheap price but bad overall service... so just beware when going there
• Seungjoo (8/5): Very good - Bar downstairs Washroom/shower Free tea Helpful staff The first bed I had, there was no plug and the locker was broken but I changed my bed
• Kaitlin (7/5): Good - Room was nice and clean. Decent looking communal area although we only stayed for one night. The private rooms are located up several flights of stairs which was a bit difficult when suffering from altitude sickness.
• M (6/5): Good location and vibes - Good location, very close to the bus terminal and fun to walk around Good vibes, met good people Wifi works well even in the dorm, I was able to work in the common area The reception lady didn’t explain about rules, breakfast etc No kitchen, washroom was dirty
• Wei (2/5): Location near to bus terminal, but the room I got was awful. Not just the condition was bad, it was a fraud for me. - Young staffs are helpful. Public area is nice staging, very warm and cozy for the backpackers. I booked private room, it’s not what I actually got from the pic, at least the room should be the same layout as the pic on page, but it was totally different and even worse. When I check-in, even the young staff said to the owner we don’t have private room. The old one told then just do the process.
• Anna (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mario (9/5): Great stay in La Paz - Very friendly staff, tasty & simple breakfast, perfect location ,very fast internet, clean rooms and comfy bed
• Sally (8/5): Very good - Early check-in, good communal area with free tea, lots of fruit included in the breakfast
• Olano (8/5): Very good -
