Hotel JUMARI — Hotel in Uyuni

Absolutely one of the best services I’ve ever received at such an affordable place. Many past luxury stays couldn’t even compete. Upon arriving before 1pm after our long bus, we were able to check-in with no issue. We also saw other guests throughout our stay, who came via night bus, be able to check-in at 8am! We didn’t yet have the cash to pay for our stay (it is cash only, much like the majority of hotels in Uyuni) and the ladies said it wasn’t a problem, we could pay later, even the next day. On other day of check-out, we had a night bus to catch. The ladies saw us working on our laptops in the lobby after we checked out and offered us a new and clean room for us to relax in privately! That was a first for us. We were able to use the room until well into the evening, trying to keep it as mess-free as possible. The room was pretty standard and cozy. The bed’s three blankets in addition to the comforter were a bit overkill but I would understand during the colder dry season. The breakfast was, to our surprise, well-rounded. They bring out very little at a time, but they’re always attentive as to when things run out and will personally bring you more if you ask. The fresh fruit was so good (especially...

This hotel was excellent. Much better than I had expected. I stayed 2 nights, before and after a one day tour of the salt flat. I was surprised to find a heater in my room. An excellent one too, warmed my room up in no time, without making a sound. Better than most of the heaters in the (admittedly less expensive) motels and hotels in the US I’ve stayed in over the years. Maybe all the hostels and hotels in Uyuni have them but it was the first warm night I had spent in the 6 weeks I had been in La Paz and Sucre and Potosí. Also, the shower had the hottest water I had experienced. The pressure was low one night but it was still hot. (Even too hot. And I like really hot showers.). Everything else was great. The room was small but I was only one person. It was spotless. The WiFi was fine, a tad bit slow one night but apparently normal for Uyuni. The staff were very eager to help. The breakfast was good, plenty of the usual options (bread and fruit (all types)) but also including scrambled eggs and pancakes and plenty of cookies for people like me with a sweet tooth. I highly...

I do not have enough good things to say about this place. I wish I had stayed here first in Uyuni. The original place I stayed (Hotel Nichkito) was such a disaster I picked up and left early to find another hotel. I found Jumari and I was kicking myself for not spending $10 more per night to stay at Jumari from the start. Jumari is clean, the breakfast is good, the rooms and bathrooms are sizeable. My only tepid criticism is that the walls in the rooms are so devoid of things that you voice can echo in the room a little but that's an issue I can overlook because this place feels like the only reputable place in Uyuni which is a trashy tourist outpost. Uyuni is a place most people traveling there aren't even planning on staying when they do the multiple day trips onto the Salt Flat. So Uyuni is a trash heap... but Jumari is a breath of fresh air while you're...
