Casa de SAL - Salt Hotel

Large bedrooms, salt decorations, good breakfast, good plumbing in 2/3 rooms, hot water The third room had very bad sewage and smelled very bad but they just put an air freshener (which didn’t help much), even when we asked if we could change rooms.

We had a VERY comfortable, large, clean room with heating. Large bathrooms with large, nice soft towels and lots of hot water. The location is good yet a little away from the bustling noisy traffic. Friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast included was typical with fresh fruit, cereal, yogurt, different pastries, eggs prepared in different ways, cold cuts and Bolivian cheese, coffee and a variety of infusions. We needed and so appreciated the comfort offered at this hotel after the 3 day Uyuni salt flats tour.

This hotel is out of my expectation. Good decoration and has lift. Room is big and has hot water. Front desk is helpful and good service. It is warm, not just in room, but the whole hotel. Location also good, although not close to the main street, but not far away and you will pass the local market. Beware of the monthly market day, the entire street will be occupied by local hawkers. Taxi will not able to stop at the main door of hotel.

AMAZING HOTEL! This was such a surprise - my expectations were low given Uyuni is a smallish city and off the beaten path, and the room was quite affordable. The outside also doesn't give away just how gorgeous and unique this hotel is inside! Rooms are beautiful and cozy, and the salt features are so unique. The design of this hotel is so thoughtful, and the finishes are very modern yet charming. There's a bit of construction to be completed but this didn't impact or disrupt my visit at all. We enjoyed a really nice dinner in the restaurant, and the breakfast buffet was modest but tasty. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Uyuni.

While the location is fabulous, nothing else is. It is situated just high enough above the salar (salt flat) for excellent views, including sunset. The building appears to be built from salt blocks taken from the salar, including bed frames and headboards (but thankfully not mattresses!) Much of the floor is salt gravel too, although laminate walkways along corridors appear to be a newer addition. Many big wood-fired stoves along the corridors too, to provide heat in winter. The buffet dinner was average at best, much of it standing for a long time. A single glass of mediocre Bolivian red wine, served ice cold, cost about $10 USD -- roughly 5 or 6 times the price of the whole bottle in a shop. Buffet breakfast was marginally better, but only instant coffee and poor scrambled eggs. Not sure how much is costs to stay a night here, as it was included in our tour.

An unusual hotel (it’s made of salt😀) with massive rooms and even bigger bathroom. I suspect it’s as good as it gets in Uyuni but can’t see that that’s a reason to give 5 stars like many before me. It is within east walking distance of the centre of Uyuni and would have given more but for the standard of breakfast. I know I’m a westerner expecting too much but is was easily the worst breakfast selection we had in three weeks of travel and on our second day the breakfast area was so crowded we couldn’t even get a table, never mind any food. The staff at the front desk however are really helpful but there is no safe deposit box which I didn’t like despite the fact that they said there was always someone on the front desk.
