Almudena Apart Hotel

First time at this hotel in La Paz, we were pleasantly surprised by size of our apartment (#601), its decorations, comfort and the stunning views. Our apartment had 3 rooms, 2 of them with queen size beeds and one Jacuzzi, 2 full bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen, dinning room and living room. Flat TVs in every room. Breakfast is not the best but will do. You are plenty of dinning options within walking distance but thew streets to these locations are very steep, be prepared and warned: easy walk down but you may want to take a taxi back at the hotel for Bs10. In any case, La Paz is just this way everywhere you go.

This is a very good hotel that I would have no hesitation to recommend to anyone visiting La Paz. It is in a suburb that is accessible by the cable car system. A short taxi ride away is the tourist hub. I had two rooms on two visits. Both were very spacious with all the amenities one would expect from a hotel of this standard. The staff were extremely helpful. There is also a travel office at the hotel which I used for a two day tour of Copacobana on lake Titicaca and the surrounding area. My room had cooking facilities as I believe all rooms have.

Ryan the manager was very helpful. He speaks good English. On our day trip to Copacabana he gave us some breakfast before the Chef came in. In the night (Dec 25th) everything was closed and he gave us some bread and banana cake. The hotel also arrages the pick up and drop off to the airport.

The stay at Almudena was faultless from start to finish. The complementary taxi got me to the hotel where the english speaking receptionists were quick to offer refreshments while the paperwork was completed. The hotel is away from the tourist central area but the suite I booked made up for that, with views across the city, cable tv, two bedrooms a kitchen and lounge. One small complaint there is heating in only one oof the bedrooms and depending on the season, La Paz can be cold.There are shops nearby for the basics, dial up Pizza can be delivered but for a restaurant meal you will need a taxi, 15 to 20 BOB should get you to the city centre, get the restaurant to call a cab to get you back, hailing one in the street may be a bit harder. All in all a great stay but streets are steep so take things slowly.

I was a little anxious visiting La Paz without having much knowledge of the culture or language, but the staff, namely Brayan, made my visit incredible!!! The airport transit was confirmed in no time and hassle-free! The breakfast was great! The room was super spacious and clean! Brayan at the front desk pointed me to great restaurants and on several occasions helped me through any challenges that I encountered.

I stayed 2 nights with them, they have pick up service from the airport, make sure you get it or ask for directions prior to your arrival, the Hotel is located in a residential area, is very quiet, only 20 minutes from El Alto international airport, they have a great staff that go out of their way to help, very clean, the apartments are spacious and everything inside is brand new, they opened in December 2014.

I stayed in 3 different rooms at different times at this hotel. Pros: super comfy, great view, apartments are lovely and spacious, big breakfast, staff are super nice and kind and welcoming, internet was good in most rooms and I could complete all work I needed to. Cons: heaters didn't work in all rooms, so a bit chilly; breakfast didn't actually start at 7:00 so not always ready before morning meetings, and I found a used condom wrapper in my bedroom, so that was gross. Tips: hotel forgot to send shuttle to pick me up at the airport at 1:30 a.m. The next time, I sent them a reminder email and someone came and was right on time. Make sure to send a reminder email!

I spent a week at the hotel and would highly recommend it to travelers. It is a few minutes outside of the main tourist district which is nice. Quieter and also allows for the chance to engage in the local community. I spent each morning in the park that is a 2 minute walk from the hotel and was able to meet and spend time with many of the community people. In general the people of Bolivia were the friendliest of any country I have been to which is most of the world. The hotel itself is awesome, clean, and the room well set up. Internet was incredibly fast which is not the case for other places i stayed in La Paz. Best of all is the staff including the owner who is on property every day. They all go way out of their way to make sure your needs are met and not only willing but anxious to help you with even the smallest of details. I got sick and they arranged for a Dr to come right to my room...he not only diagnosed the issues but also had the meds delivered to my room. The room was very clean and had everything one would want. I would highly recommend Almundena to anyone looking for a value hotel in La Paz.
