CABAÑA LAS LILAS HOSTEL

Run by a lovely family with two lovely dogs, very friendly. The main house is spacious and stylish, the kitchen is decent. The garden is enormous and comfortable; as well as children-friendly. Beds are comfy and breakfast is standard. There is a large BBQ which we made use of on two nights and made a massive slap-up England-style grill-up. Was lovely. There is very good wifi as well as comfy sofa area with Smart TV!

We stayed here for two nights and were very impressed with the hospitality provided. The three of us had the 8 bed dorm to ourselves which was great, and we enjoyed having the opportunity to relax in the garden and watch movies at night. The advertised restaurant/microbrewery appears to be in a state of renovation but we cooked for ourselves in the huge, clean kitchen. Provided breakfast is basic but tasty. Bathrooms were clean but a little dated, and your own toilet paper is required! Overall our stay here was very pleasant and relaxing.

We first heard of this hostel being 11kms out of the city, so we didn't want to go. But we went and it was the best decision we made. Huge backyard with loungers, massive indoor common area a big kitchen, and a nice refreshing pool. And you'll fall in love with the dog.

One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in! We arrived at 5am and the owner, Alex, gave us a place to sleep immediately. The hostel itself has amazing grounds with a pool, sun loungers and hammocks. It's a little way out of Cochabamba but there is a place nearby where you can easily catch the bus from, it only takes 20 mins and costs 2 Bolivianos. There is a massive kitchen to cook in and a small shop right across the street with all the essentials. Monika, the volunteer, was very helpful with all of our requests and queries, and helped make our stay as good as it was.

We stayed here for 2 nights. Got a night bus from sucre so ended up getting there at 5.30am, the owner greeted us and showed us to our room straight away. Room was large and clean (the the decor was rather garish). It's a good bus ride from town (number 112, 2 bolivianos) but lovely and quite with a garden with hammocks, football nets, pool and table tennis. Thoroughly enjoyed, good bargain

Stayed a month and a half, during the disturbances. It was a tranquil, comfortable and convenient. Only problem was the owner's pit-bull who can bite. Owner Alex will try to correct any problems. Because of the civil unrest, I spent a lot of time at home and I was glad to be staying outside of town, where it wasn't too crazy.

Alex is an amazing host and Las Lilas is a beautiful hostel not far from cochabamba. A short bus ride from the center, Las Lilas has everything you need and more and with the excellent hospitality offered you can gaurentee you will want to stay for a while. We visited when Alex had recently opened and had an amazing time, had always meant to write a review and years on I'm still talking about the amazing experience at Las Lilas.

Wow! This place is worth every penny and really does feel like you're making yourself at home. The relaxation areas are fantastic, there are plenty of hammocks and deck chairs for everyone. There's a HD TV you can use, vending machines for food, kitchen (the kitchen is so we'll kitted out), washing rack (or option for them to do your washing). There is a volleyball net, small football nets, table tennis, chess (TONS of games). The bedrooms are incredibly nice with very comfortable beds and the showers are powerful, clean and hot! The owners are some of the nicest hosts we've had travelling and were incredibly accommodating when we arrived at 5am (they even got us blankets as it was so cold). We love it so much here, we're staying a few extra days as we can't bare the thought of going into an ordinary hostel after this.
