Hospedaje Sarabia — Hotel in Municipio Sucre

I arrived very early by bus from Uyuni. I had previously asked for early check in (not for free)as I knew that traveling long hrs by bus in Bolivia is very unpleasant.|The hotel isn't well signed & theres no light in front of the huge 'garage door'. My taxi driver commented to the owner thats quite unacceptable for guests.||Unfortunately it wasn't possible to do an early check in.|My nightmare continued when I had to wait from 4 am till noon, check in is at 2 pm.|I sat in the breakfast room upright on a chair at the table waiting miserably till I could finally sleep on my bed.|Having known this I would not have chosen another hotel, there are a lot.|Strangely even I had submitted my passport the owner kept assuming I was from Brazil. Funny though but not at 4 a.m.|I was asked to pay by pay pal, the owner converted the Bol to € or $, I could have paid in Bol, not accepted! It adds up bank charges too.|There was no comfortable arm chair or pleasant comfy corner to sit & wait for my room.|Check in is at 2 pm. That means 10 hrs sitting upright on an uncomfortable chair in the breakfast room. Shame... |At last I had to wait 8 hrs, the room was ready at noon. |Mr Hunberto suggested I can have a walk at 7 am & enjoy the surroundings. Oh no...bed & shower was more on my mind.|For such a large house they should have thought of something comfy for the guests as most come by bus min, very long unpleasant bumpy ride.||At 7 am guest arrived for breakfast.....and it got busy and loud.|My room was basic, quite small, average bed quality but ok for the price I didnt mind. I was only here for 1 night until next afternoon.||Good location, 5 min walk to the central market as well as to the main square, lively with resto that I liked.||Mr Humberto, the owner is a pleasant gentleman, but there is room for improvement...

Somos un grupo de 4 personas que hemos estado alojados en el hospedaje Sarabia varios dias. Habiendo comunicado al sr Humberto, propietario del hotel, nuestra proxima visita a Uyuni, él mismo se ofreció amablemente a buscarnos un transporte privado para traslado a Uyuni con parada en Potosí, pues queríamos visitar la Casa de la moneda. El Sr Humberto se encargó de contratar el transporte y de negociar el importe, el cual aceptamos. El dia del viaje, durante el trayecto, el chófer nos preguntó si habíamos pagado en el hotel y le dijimos que no, que le pagaríamos al llegar a Uyuni tal y como se habia acordado. Llegando a Potosí nos preguntó que cuanto iba a demorarse la visita a lo que le respondimos que poco tiempo que solo queríamos visitar la Casa de la moneda. Una vez la puerta de la casa de la moneda nos dice que cual es el importe que le vamos a pagar y le decimos que lo que había negociado con el hotel . En dicho momento manifiesta que no nos lleva a nuestro destino si no le pagamos el triple. El chófer se pone en contacto telefónico con el sr Humberto, propietario del hotel, quien manifiesta que debe ser un error y que debemos pagar lo que pide el taxista o que podemos negociar y llegar a un acuerdo.. Ante tal situación de engaño y abuso decidimos no pagar nada más. El taxista nos deja en la estación de autobuses de Potosi y con toda la indignación por los hechos acontecidos le manifestamos que nos hemos sentido estafados tanto por su parte como por parte del hotel, del Sr. Humberto. Tal y como se desarrolló la conversacion telefonica con el sr Humberto, el taxita y nosotros, nos dio la impresión de que esta manera de actuar estaba premeditada, Por dicho motivo hemos quedado muy descontentos con el hospedaje y no lo...

Owner woke up and allowed us to check in at 5:30am since our bus arrived early, and we could store our bags until the evening we left as our bus was at night, even ordered us a taxi to take us to the bus terminal. He was so lovely and so patient since we speak very little Spanish. Rooms were clean, shower was great, bed was very comfortable. Location is ideal and the breakfast did the job. Would...
