Pluses and Minuses

  • +
    An outdoor pool, sauna, fitness centre and garden create a small resort feeling unusual for a city hotel of twenty two rooms. In Cochabamba's mild climate, the pool can be enjoyed most of the year.
  • +
    The free buffet breakfast, served from 7:30 to 10:00, and free private parking add real value to already moderate rates. Many guests describe the price as excellent for the quality.
  • +
    The airport is only about five kilometres away, roughly eleven minutes by car, and the hotel runs a shuttle at any hour for around seven dollars per person. Early flights to La Paz or Santa Cruz are easy to manage.
  • +
    The northern residential location is quiet and green, with restaurants along Avenida América and El Prado nearby. Palacio Portales, the former residence of tin baron Simón Patiño, is a short ride away.
  • +
    Staff receive consistent praise, and a twenty four hour reception and room service make late arrivals comfortable. Business travellers appreciate the banquet hall and work desks.
  • -
    The historic centre, cathedral and La Cancha market are around two to three kilometres away, so most sightseeing requires a taxi. Walking there takes time and crosses busy avenues.
  • -
    The airport shuttle is charged separately, and taxi fares can be negotiated more cheaply for groups. Agreeing the price in advance avoids surprises.
