Hotels near Presidential Palace, 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.

This is a funky hotel well located amid the main tourist attractions of La Paz, with easy walks to the witches market, the nearest cable car station, the main square, San Francisco Plaza, Jaen Street with its museums, etc. The breakfast was good, with your choice of a hot egg dish plus fresh fruit and various breads. Our only complaint was our room was an interior room, looking out onto the hallway and lacked fresh air. but this was minor, unavoidable given the design, and not all rooms had this problem.

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.

From the time we arrived, to the time we left, we all felt very welcome and comfortable at this fine hotel. We came back three times, between our travels to Tupiza and Coroico, and were allowed to leave our leftover luggage in their storage. The rooms are great. We had a two bedroom apartment for 4 people. With a lounge area and a small kitchenette. The bathroom is modern and functional. Nice hot showers any time of the day. Cleaning was spotless. Matresses and pillows were the most comfortable on our entire journey around Bolivia. Breakfast buffet was plentiful. The gym was also great - in the nearby mall. Perhaps the only thing missing, is a roof terrace or a small garden, where you can sit outside and enjoy the sun. The most important thing, were the people in the reception, restaurant and office. They were all very serviceminded and helpful in any way we required. So all in all a 5-star experience and definitely recommendable. We would come back any time.

Excellent value for money, relaxing and great ambiance. The staff are all so friendly and enthusiastic. Especially the dinner time staff at the restaurant. David was so friendly, he was the reason we kept eating at the restaurant instead of going out.

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 Atix Hotel is deep in the bowl that La Paz sits in, meaning it is lower than most parts of La Paz. It is in a lolvely neighbourhood with embassies and a nice plaza a short walk away with restaurants, cafes and shops. The hotel is modern and stylish with local Bolivian touches. The staff are friendly and professional. On the top floor there is a bar as well as a good size swimming pool with amazing views over La Paz, particularly around sunset. The rooms are a good size, well-equipped with sufficient plugs to charge equipment, including USB points. The air-conditioning is quiet The beds are comfortable. The bathroom is modern with a shower over the bath with a glass screen. There was a good range of food to choose from for breakfast. There is a cable car station (Irpavi) on the Green Line.a short walk away from the hotel. It is a short ride to get to the centre of the city. The time to get to the airport from the hotel will vary dramatically depending on the time of day. I would not hesitate in recommending this hotel for either a business or leisure stay.
