Hotel Rosario La Paz

Situated within a busy area of La Paz this was the second hotel in this chain that we had stayed at. Quaint layout, with a courtyard at the back including seating. Our room was off this courtyard, but we didn't experience any noise at night.||The room was a reasonable size with beautiful decoration of local wallhangings, if only we could have taken one home! There were 2 beds in the room but neither was that large, they were doubles rather than the kingsize we had become used to at other hotels. Bathroom nice, shower only but clean with nice fresh towels presented in a basket and plenty of hot water. TV/ wifi and safe in room but no tea or bottled water provided. The safe wouldn't close and was not fixed during our visit, so we couldn't use it. Heating was a small protable radiator, but left on all the time it was sufficient.||Breakfast self service with good choice and eggs fried to order. ||Also ate in restaurant one evening, the meal was very good (lasagne) with a reasonable wine choice (25US$ per bottle).||Reception was helpful and spoke good English, laundry service was offered and charged by weight. there was also a small lounge area off reception which provided free tea, coffee and water 24/7.||Nice hotel with good staff.

The hotel was situated in an old building around an attractive courtyard and has free filtered water and a selection of teas in reception. The rooms are nicely decorated with traditional Bolivian crafts and the rooms are a good size. We were there in late May and the nights were below freezing temperature wise which I think was cold for the time of year. However the rooms don’t have heating but they do have electric heaters. We started off with a twin room overlooking the courtyard but found it too cold even with the heater and so we moved to a double room overlooking the street for the second night. Even though it overlooked the street, it was very quiet at night. This room was much warmer because it was smaller and had the sun shining in during the day. The staff were very helpful in facilitating our change of room.|The breakfast buffet was limited but this may have been because the restaurant was being refurbished and so breakfast was in the reception area. Due to this it was also very cold when we were there. |This hotel is round the corner from the famous Witches Market and very clos to San Francisco square and church. There are some lovely little cobbled streets around here full of souvenir shops. The nearest cable car station is about a 10 minute walk (Linea Morada) and a couple more minutes to the Linea Celeste. We made sure we were back in the hotel for 9pm and even walking back at that time it felt safe.

Great place. Rooms were nice and cozy. There was a heater and also trezore. Restaurant was great too and the service was very outgoing - both in the restaurant and the reception. Whatever problem I had to solve, employees were ready to help me all the time. The location is also very good - close to witch market. I can recommend this place to stay.

The hotel is very nice but only SOME of the stuff is friendly. We stayed 2 nights then booked a tour to Uyuni with their agency and they said that they will be able to give is the room early once we return back from Uyuni because they know we will be tired and so om. Surprise, surprise. The guy from the reception (that we havent seen before) told us that he is not able to give us the room until 2 (we arrive at 7) and if we want he can provide us a single room (us being 3 people) with 50 dollars if we want until check in. The attitude was rude and distirbing as the other employees that we talked with were very nice and friendly. I don’t recommend this hotel to people as they are trying to charge you as much as possible. This depends also on the luck you have with the reception people.

I had some weird arrival and departure times from El Alto airport. Henry and the team here accommodated me and communicated with me perfectly. They had someone at the airport waiting for my (late) flight in and the checkin was A1 - even at 3:30am. The rooms are very nice and the staff helpful with my few questions. Breakfast very nice. I’ve been to La Paz before and this location is minutes walk from the centre with everything you need close by. Based on my experience, I highly recommend Rosario for an overnight stay like I did, or for longer.

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.

I had a fantastic stay at Hotel Rosario in La Paz, Bolivia, and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city. The service was exceptional—staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable experience. They provided very helpful information, from local sightseeing tips to arranging activities, making it easy to explore La Paz and beyond. The rooms were clean, well-appointed, and thoughtfully decorated with Andean touches, adding to the charm. The radiators worked perfectly, keeping the room cozy despite the chilly high-altitude nights. The hotel’s location is a major highlight—right in the heart of La Paz, just steps from the Witches’ Market and close to major attractions like San Francisco Church and Plaza Murillo. It’s an ideal base for soaking up the city’s vibrant culture. I’d happily return.

La Paz was somewhere we were transiting en route to Cuzco and we were ambivalent about visiting the city. Once we arrived at the hotel our whole mindset changed and we loved both the city and the hotel. Its position a few blocks from the Witches Market was fantastic and walking along the street we felt very safe also in the heart of things.||The staff were friendly and helpful and the door was locked at night for additional security.||The buffet breakfast was generous and varied. Our room was clean and comfortable but was on the back of the hotel which would probably have been quieter
