La Paz Hotel Deals
"Pros: Good location, close to Telefonica and walkable to tourist areas. Rooms were clean with comfortable beds, hot showers and heating. The hotel is modern. On the cons: the drains smelled a little in the bathroom, breakfast doesn’t begin until 7am which is too late for any day tours which all depart earlier than this (I stayed 3 nights and not once got to enjoy the breakfast I paid for), they do offer a breakfast bag to go but it is very basic. Also no free tea and coffee - most other hotels...
"Great place in a great area. Stayed as a solo traveler and couldn’t have felt safer in the area. The staff were also very helpful, helped me organise transportation to the airport very early in the morning and answered any questions I had 😊"
