GRAN COPACABANA HOSTAL — Hotel in El Alto

The room was just as expected and perfectly good for what we were looking for - a short sleep before a 3 am flight. The location is good too - only 10 min from the airport.

Next trip however, I think we'll try the bed per hour place at the...

If you are looking for a place close to the airport, forget this place. You will pay very little more to get a taxi from the city center of La Paz.

My room couldn't even be locked and they told me it wouldn't be a problem (sure, anyone was able to come into the room while I was sleeping, why would that be a problem, especially for a woman). After a reviewed the place in a neutral way, i.e. no written review, just the standard rating in the survey form, they sent me an insults by...
