Hotel Rosario La Paz — Hotel in La Paz

The hotel was situated in an old building around an attractive courtyard and has free filtered water and a selection of teas in reception. The rooms are nicely decorated with traditional Bolivian crafts and the rooms are a good size. We were there in late May and the nights were below freezing temperature wise which I think was cold for the time of year. However the rooms don’t have heating but they do have electric heaters. We started off with a twin room overlooking the courtyard but found it too cold even with the heater and so we moved to a double room overlooking the street for the second night. Even though it overlooked the street, it was very quiet at night. This room was much warmer because it was smaller and had the sun shining in during the day. The staff were very helpful in facilitating our change of room.|The breakfast buffet was limited but this may have been because the restaurant was being refurbished and so breakfast was in the reception area. Due to this it was also very cold when we were there. |This hotel is round the corner from the famous Witches Market and very clos to San Francisco square and church. There are some lovely little cobbled streets around here full of souvenir shops. The nearest cable car station is about a 10 minute walk (Linea Morada) and a couple more minutes to the Linea Celeste. We made sure we were back in the hotel for 9pm and even walking back at that time...

This is the 2nd time I stayed at the Rosario and I love the hotel. The front desk is efficient, professional.and helpful. The hotel is clean, updated and well appointed. Breakfast is yummy, water is warm, bed is comfy. |There was a transportation strike the day I was leaving and they informed me so I could get to the airport on time. The street is a bit sketchy at night, so mind what you are carrying and those around you. Hotel is up a hill a bit so you might get winded if walking. ||My biggest issue and the reduction in stars during this stay was during checkout I had to pay in dollars or by credit card. As a Bolivian (who lives in the US) I was floored that I couldn't pay with a QR debit from my Bolivia bank account or using Bolivianos. I was wondering if it's because the hotel is owned by Peruvians? I was deeply disappointed and in fact discussed with friends who said that's against the law and isn't allowed. I don't get the fact that they are only accepting dollars/euros as payments in Bolivia. ||Needless to say I'm returning to La Paz and will stay in a hotel that is owned by Bolivians and accepts payment from a...

I had a fantastic stay at Hotel Rosario in La Paz, Bolivia, and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city. The service was exceptional—staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable experience. They provided very helpful information, from local sightseeing tips to arranging activities, making it easy to explore La Paz and beyond. The rooms were clean, well-appointed, and thoughtfully decorated with Andean touches, adding to the charm. The radiators worked perfectly, keeping the room cozy despite the chilly high-altitude nights. The hotel’s location is a major highlight—right in the heart of La Paz, just steps from the Witches’ Market and close to major attractions like San Francisco Church and Plaza Murillo. It’s an ideal base for soaking up the city’s vibrant culture. I’d...
