Hotel Wendy Mar — Hotel in Copacabana

First impressions weren’t great. The hotel is on the main road in the village centre which was choked with tour buses when we arrived. The hotel has a strangely small doorway with two stiff glass doors. I risked making a comedy entrance as my back pack wouldn’t fit through the gap. I was greeted by a teenage desk clerk playing video games in a room adjoining reception. Again, not good first impressions. ||After waiting an hour for the room to be cleaned (strange as the hotel certainly wasn’t full) we were given the key to a 2nd floor room. Things began to improve.||The room was large, brightly decorated and clean. It had a large double bed which proved to be very comfy- I had an excellent nights sleep. The bathroom was small but functional with hot water from a slightly temperamental shower housed in a rickety shower unit. The room had a view towards the distant Lake Titicaca across the road and behind some buildings. These actually served to shield us from the pretty ugly beachfront scene with tacky swan pedalos, zorbs and jet skis. It was Easter weekend and the scrubby beach was full and looked horrific!||The hotel is in need of a bit of a makeover. It has a courtyard which isn’t used, and a restaurant which is closed, aside from the average buffet breakfast. The staff are mostly teenagers- non speak any English.||However, the price was okay at $25 per night. In summary, the hotel has potential to be quite nice given a bit more effort and the room was very good for the price. Clean and functional and okay for a one night stay, but I doubt Copacabana would keep you longer than...

This hotel is in a quiet but central position. Quick walk down to the lake shore and buses and all the restaurants. The room and bathroom were very clean and the room also good size. We had a nice lake view and the sun helped to heat the room up during the afternoon so it was nice and warm for your return in the evening. There was also hotwater available 24 hours (electric shower). The breakfast was good with fruit, cereal and different kinds of bread but the scrambled egg was always cold and not very appealing. The owners had a nice cockerspaniel dog who was very friendly. It's a family owned hotel and all members of the family work there but nobody seems to enjoy their job because you never see them smile. I would still recommend the hotel as a good option...

Ubicación:||El hotel está en una perfecta ubicación para dirigirse hacia el lago o la Plaza (A 10 minutos caminando de todo). Esto es una ventaja cuando decides salir de noche, ya que la calle donde está ubicada es segura y está bien iluminada.||2. Costo:||Ustedes saben que el costo dependerá de la temporada y la demanda. Yo reservé la habitación para el mes de Marzo con un mes de antelación. Tomé una habitación para dos personas con baño privado e incluía el desayuno. El costo fue de 26.00 dólares por día.||3. Comodidad:||La habitación y el baño estaban limpios en general, la ropa de cama lucía limpia y la habitación tenía una vista preciosa hacia el cerro Calvario y el Lago, también tenía un pequeño espacio para comer/leer/organizarte dentro de la habitación. Tenía casilleros dentro de la habitación para guardar tu mochila/maleta, un televisor y mesitas de noche al lado de las camas. La señal de wifi estaba muy bien. Los ambientes comunes lucían bastante acogedores. En general todo estaba muy bien.||4. El desayuno||El desayuno es bastante completo, todo limpio, rico y variado.||4. Amabilidad:||Los recepcionistas fueron amables conmigo en todo momento, me ayudaron y siempre estuvieron atentos a mis dudas. ||||LO RECOMIENDO!||||EXTRAS: No necesitas tomar taxi para ir al hotel desde la plaza, todos conocen el hotel y es muy fácil llegar caminando. ||Al llegar Copacabana el bus te llevará a otro hotel por 8 dólares la noche. No te dejes engañar, muchos de estos hoteles no tienen agua y menos agua caliente. Esto le pasó a un compañero que quiso ahorrar y no puedo bañarse por días. Las personas de estos hoteles son...
