Guest Reviews

• Micaela (8/5): - La atencion del personal de administración fue muy buena y con mucha predisposición.
• ＹＨ (4/5): - ホテルの入口の扉は1日中開いていると聞いていたが、夜のツアーに参加しようとすると、扉に鍵がかかっており、フロントに誰もおらず、危うくツアーに参加できなくなるところだった。
• Verified traveler (4/5): - there was no receptionist who speak english. young kids covered front. only accept cash, no credit card. communicated with cell phone translate app. bathroom has mildew and strong mildew smell.
• Verified traveler (8/5): nice place. - perfect location close to most of the tour agencies and pick-up/off area, restaurants. friendly ,helpful staff. a heater in the room would be nicer.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Staffs and the location were good, but they don’t speak English. And our room didn’t have an air conditioner and we couldn’t get enough hot water. It was so cold...
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Kaltes und unfreundliches Zimmer ohne Fenster, Ausstattung alt
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Me gusto la ubicación, que tiene agua caliente y la habitación en general con ventana. Lo que menos me gusto la televisión no se veía bien y el internet intermitente.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Very simple and inexpensive hotel. I wish I had spent a little more to be in something a little more comfortable, but overall recommend for its low price.
• Teruyo (4/5): 最悪 - ホテルの部屋が臭い。タオルもかなり使い込んであり消毒の匂いがして嫌な感じ。Wi-Fiは殆ど通じず。二日目に突然シャワーのお湯が出なくなった。ベッド周りも清潔感皆無。値段が安いから相応でしょうか。でもラパスであまり値段が変わらないのにとてもいい部屋もありました。
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Rudest staff I’ve ever encountered in my life. Extremely unimpressed. Do not stay here ever! Even if you are desperate.
• Alessandro (2/5): Não confiem - Péssima, apesar de confirmado pelo Hotéis. Com, qdo chegamos lá não havia vaga
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Todo era aceptable para un hotel de 3 estrellas. Un punto positivo fue el desayuno, que incluyo yogurt y no sólo café o té y oan
• Verified traveler (6/5): Bra läge - Bra läge men låg kvalite på boendet. Frukosten okej.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Our reservation wasn’t fulfilled. We showed up, they acknowledged
• tamakoshi (2/5): - Toilet flushing did not work. We used toilet at 1st floor, but they charged even guest. Room is too narrow to open suitcase.
• Michel (8/5): - Uyuni est une ville avec un mauvais rapport qualité/prix pour toutes prestations. Préférez Tupiza
• steve (4/5): Close to salt flat companies - Since nothing in area is a Westin or Marriott, it is hard to rank comparatively. We were supposed to arrive very late on the train and this location is one block from station. We wanted a bed to sleep in and they delivered. The town itself is filled with trash in the streets and stray dogs, so when the hostel staff stayed up for our arrival at midnight, it was a pleasant occurrence. They have delivered on everything we asked for, except a lack of towels for hot shower in morning and building not heated. Lots of blankets for a warm bed.
• HIROMICHI (6/5): 価格相応のホテルです - ウユニ塩湖観光のため宿泊。空港からタクシーに乗りましたが運転手もすぐわかりました。駅横に位置しわかりやすい場所です。夜10頃到着しましたが、近隣のレストラン等はまだ空いていました。滞在時間は短かったですが快適にすごせました。
• PASCAL (6/5): Bof... - Rapport qualité prix moyen...
• YU (6/5): 塩湖ツアーに行くには最適 - 塩湖ツアーに複数日行く人にはとても便利な立地。 低価格で必要な設備は全部あります。ただ、お湯シャワーは出る時間が 限られているため、ツアーの関係で時間が合わないと残念なことに。 立地と安さ優先の方には良いホテルです。
• Moi (6/5): 穂高ツアーの目の前のホテル - 部屋はウユニのホテルの中では綺麗な方だがWi-Fiが調子良いときと悪い時のムラが多い。また従業員の対応はとても親切だったのだが、あるお客様がホテルの水が出しっ放しになってしまって一時使えなくなってしまった時にオーナーが怒って、そのお客様の部屋の水を全て利用出来ないように止めてしまっていた。 いくらお客様が悪いからといってもお金を払っている以上やってはいけないことだと思いました。 他の従業員はとても良いスタッフばかりだったので、オーナーさんにだけガッカリしました。
• Masaki (2/5): 宿泊費相違 - 19$の表記ですが、20$取られました。 カードも使えず、部屋もきれいではない。 同レベルであれば周辺にはもっと安い宿がたくさんありました。
• Verified traveler (6/5): Basic accommodation in good location - After a three day tour was a good option with a very hot shower! However the shower curtain did not do much which left the bathroom floor extremely flooded. Some stains on curtain and walls but good value and fine for a night. Staff very nice and let us keep our bags until evening.
• ★ (10/5): とにかく立地が良い - ツアー会社の目の前の宿。歩いて30秒もかからないので朝早いツアーなどもぎりぎりに宿を出ても十分だった。 飲食店も周辺に多数あり、何かと便利だった。 wifiは夜はアクセスが集中し、繋がりにくかったが、昼間は普通に使えた。
• Kwon (4/5): - 화장실 물이 절대 안 빠지고 침대 청소상태가 심히 좋지 않았다. 같은 값이면 바로 앞 호텔 줄리아를 이용하는 것이 100000000배는 낫다
• Uwe (8/5): Gute Lage / gutes Preis Leistungsverhltnis - Zentrale Lage an der Abfahrtsort der Touren Zustand länderspezifisch. Betreiber bemühen sich einen guten Service zu leisten auch wenn es bei der Erwartungshaltung der Gäste schwer ist. Frühstücksbüffet ist überdurchschnittlich gut. Bei starken Andtang kann es auch mal knapp werden.
• Verified traveler (2/5): Got bedbug - Got bedbug after staying a night there. Staffs don’t speak English. Hot shower is available for the limited time. But the location is convenient for tours.
• Jose Manuel (6/5): Nor good nor bad - Cheap Hostel not the best but not the worst either, well located near tour offices for trip to the salt falts!
• takahisa (2/5): hotel muito ruim - tirando a localização do hotel superou nossa expectativa negativamente.
• Elizabeth (10/5): Bueno, bonito y barato - Excelente ubicación, seguro, limpio, buen desayuno, agua y té disponible y facilidad para dejar las mochilas si te vas de tour o tb para esperar en sala luego del check out.
• jina (4/5): 너무 불친절한 호텔 - 호텔스 닷컴 사이트에는 달러로 계산된다고 되어 있는데 무조건 볼로 받아요. 그것도 환율 제일 비싸게 계산해서... 히터도 없고 너무 추웠어요. 체크아웃 시간 지나면 호텔에 있지도 못하게 쫓아내는 호텔입니다. 위치가 좋아서 그런지 너무 배짱이네요
• wingg (6/5): 보통 - 우유니가 워낙 작아서 위치가 크게 메리트는 없지만 투어사와 슈퍼, 식당이 바로 근처라 편리합니다. 숙박시설 자체는 국내 모텔정도지만 조식과 직원의 친절도가 좋습니다! 온수는 시간제한이 있고 사용 객실의 샤워기 상태가 좋지 않아 다소 불편했던 점이 아쉽습니다.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 日の当たる部屋だったので日中は寒くなかったのが良かった。部屋も広々としていてくつろげるし、ホットシャワーも時間制限内で快適に使えた。Wi-Fiがすぐに切れたり部屋で使えないことが多かったのが残念。
• Justine (4/5): - Chambres avec chauffage et sdb privée eau chaude de 18h à 21h et de 8h à 10h. 3 couvertures pour les nuits fraîches d'Uyuni. Bien situé. Le gérant est très sympathique par contre la femme de l'accueil ne l'est pas du tout ! Petit dej au top !
• Joan (8/5): The only bad thing is "noisy" - Our room is by the street. The dogs barked most of the night. People lived around my room came back around 11:30pm and shouted, sang songs and turned the music very loud until 2:00 am. I finally went sleeping then woke up by dogs barking. Except noise, everything else is great. Especially its breakfast is excellent, its hot shower made us really relaxed in such a freezing city (Uyuni in July)!
• EVELYNE (4/5): Sommaire - Spartiate, pas confortable, petit chauffage d'appoint dans la chambre, mais salle de bains glaciale sans chauffage et inondée après la douche, pas de rideaux occultants, literie defoncee et de mauvaise qualité.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Overall good value - Hot shower, reasonable wifi, great free breakfast, close to tour agencies, heater at night. Downsides: rock hard bed, a little rundown, thin curtains.
• のん (8/5): 利便性がよいホテル。 - 駅、ツアー会社、レストラン、スーパーに近く便利。朝食がビュッフェ形式で大満足です。本当に満足です。よかったよかった。
• Carlos (8/5): Nice hotel for the price - Don't expect luxury, but it's well located in the center of Uyuni, cheap, clean enough, hot shower and has a good wifi for Uyuni's average. And staff is nice. Would stay here again.
• Hien (8/5): Great place to relax and recharge. - The two gentlemen that run the apartment complex are great and helpful. The place very clean and roomy.
• Verified traveler (6/5): close to town, basic place to stay - Oro blanco was a typical South American Hostel, though a little expensive for what you get but all of Uyuni is expensive. The internet didn't work the whole time we were there, although we were told the whole town had a problem we managed to get decent internet just across the road at a restaurant. Breakfast was fine, typical like all places. Nothing fancy about the place but for a night there really isn't too many problems.
• Philippa (6/5): Basic but comfortable - Well located little place. Friendly and helpful staff. Basic hotel with cafe however cafe not on full use when we stayed. They printed our tour tickets for free which was much appreciated.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Good value place with a fabulous breaky! Room is cozy but fine for three people. Staff were very helpful.
• Ding Yi (8/5): - It's a simple hostel in Uyuni. the hostel provides all basic necessity and a plus point for hot breakfast in the morning!
• Lai Yin (8/5): Great location and staff - Great location, helpful staff, room clean. Sweet to have a chocolate on your bed and free bottle of water. Be prepared the wifi not so stable and water was not hot enough to shower.
• Emmanuel Velasco (6/5): Awesome staff; next to train station - We stayed at Oro Blanco the night before and after our salt flat excursion. Hostal is right next to the train station and you are welcomed to your room with a chocolate and water bottle. Great breakfast with a variety of fruits, breads, eggs, coffee, and tea. Staff was incredible. Jose at the front desk was extremely helpful from booking a taxi, exchanging money, and bringing us tea after our excursion to help with the altitude. Please note that while the staff is great the rooms are nothing to rave about and not everything works consistently (this is more of a reality of life in Uyuni than a reflection of the Hostal). But if you need to spend a night before or after your salt flat tour I would recommend this Hostal just based on the staff.
• Marcelo (6/5): It's Uyuni, deal with it! - Uyuni is a tourist's hotspot and this makes it more expensive than most Bolivian cities. The city does not have the required infrastructure, therefore, you will pay more for less. This particular hotel is no exception. However, the place is clean, it offers a great breakfast, and the staff is extremely helpful. You can live your luggage in storage there after checkout, at no extra charge. They also let you come back after to use their restroom and wifi, at no cost. Location is ideal. Bedding is comfortable.
• SHIHCHUAN (6/5): a flawed oasis after 3 days of desert - When you book a hostel in a small town next to a desert you can't expect confort, so don't. Don't get me wrong, any hotel below 3 stars is usually beneath my standard, however after 3 days in the desert with barely any 3G signal and hit or miss public shower, having a free WIFI a private shower was certainly welcome. Anyways the cons are WIFI signal was cut after midnight (don't know if that was a normal), water presure was low so the shower was barely warm. Would I recommend this hostel, well at the time of this writimg Hotels.com had only one other choice and it costed about 3 times this price, as much as the most expensive resorts in Bolivia, so there no much choice.
• Verified traveler (6/5): basic but good attitude - Very basic hostel but staff were friendly and attentive.
• katsu (4/5): Nice staff, but freezing - No heater in a room. Internet access was so-so. Bathmat smells terrible. But nice and helpful staff.
