La Casona del Centro — Hotel in Santa Cruz de la Sierra

Located a mere 100 meters from the main square in the old town and the cathedral, the Casona provides a wonderful, tranquil place to stay (one would hardly expect it to be that quiet that close to the main square and the local traffic). An old house with a green central patio, it is both a comfortable, relaxing accommodation, and a fine way of approaching the local history and culture. Rooms are spacious and tastefully furnished, bathrooms are spotlessly clean, the living room is a history book complete with family pictures and old images of Santa Cruz, there are chairs and tables under the umbrellas for those taking their siesta. And, more than anything, there is Señora Sandra, always there to help with anything. A great, recommended place to stay in Santa Cruz!...

We stayed a few nights here and had a wonderful time. Our room was spacious, really clean and the beds comfortable. The bathroom was really clean too and there was even hot water for a nice shower. The kitchen was fully equipped and the location of the hotel is perfect, right in the center. And still it was the cheapest we found in the area. But the best was how helpful and nice the owner is. She helped us a lot and was looking out for us. I would definitely stay...

If you are travelling the world and you are passionate about it and you want to experience real Bolivian culture & tradition, this is the best...
