Hotel Rosario la Paz

This is the 2nd time I stayed at the Rosario and I love the hotel. The front desk is efficient, professional.and helpful. The hotel is clean, updated and well appointed. Breakfast is yummy, water is warm, bed is comfy. There was a transportation strike the day I was leaving and they informed me so I could get to the airport on time. The street is a bit sketchy at night, so mind what you are carrying and those around you. Hotel is up a hill a bit so you might get winded if walking. My biggest issue and the reduction in stars during this stay was during checkout I had to pay in dollars or by credit card. As a Bolivian (who lives in the US) I was floored that I couldn't pay with a QR debit from my Bolivia bank account or using Bolivianos. I was wondering if it's because the hotel is owned by Peruvians? I was deeply disappointed and in fact discussed with friends who said that's against the law and isn't allowed. I don't get the fact that they are only accepting dollars/euros as payments in Bolivia. Needless to say I'm returning to La Paz and will stay in a hotel that is owned by Bolivians and accepts payment from a Bolivian bank.

We had a 3 night stay and was just thrilled with the standard. Staff every single one of them was courteous and forth coming. Breakfast buffet was great, we just arrived after 3 weeks in Peru and the lift in selection was enormous, warm/hot coffee and drinkable too. If you need to find a hotel then you won’t regret choosing this one.

This was a very nice hotel. It was clean and quite beautiful on the inside. Good location to major attractions and restaurants in La Paz. The staff there was truly amazing. Everyone from the front desk staff, security, bellhops, and food service were very helpful. We had to adjust our travel arrangements at the last minute several times and the front desk staff worked with us to be sure we had somewhere to stay, which we greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend.

Worst reception ever! I arrived late in the day and there was no one to receive me correctly and to provide a minimum amount of information, like the reception number. The hotel pictures look lovely and the room is spacious, although old-fashioned. Not all room facilities work properly. The room was noisy.

Love love loved this hotel! great old city core location, walk to major square, cathedrals, markets. Room was HUGE - bathroom with a tub and shower and double sinks. Comfy beds, quiet efficient air/con, lots of task lighting, even a mini fridge. Quiet interior courtyard so no city noise. Interesting decor throughout that says 'Bolivia' (vs some bland corporate wall art). Breakfast buffet was excellent, table coffee service. Would happily stay here again.

Arriving early at 06.30 on the very comfortable Todo Tourismo bus from Uyuni we hoped they would accommodate us with an early checkin in. They did, approximately US$25. Check in was efficient with a very pleasant gentleman who spoke good English. We were therefore able to immediately enjoy 3 hours comfortable sleep.Our room was average size, clean, safe, tv etc. The actual hotel structure is very smart colonial style with a good atrium seating area where you could take a complimentary tea or coffee. Breakfast was a little better than recent ones in Chile and Bolivia. Juice, cereals, yoghurt, scrambled eggs, sausage, cold meats, cheeses and bread. A fruit and cake selection with tea and coffee completed a nice choice. Clean, comfortable and efficient being also well located minutes away from Witches Market and 15 minutes walk to San Francisco Cathedral and Plaza it made a great choice.
