Something not right?

Description

It is a hotel but I talked to the owners and they were more than willing to let me park in their parking lot and use all their facilities (wifi and bathroom) for 20Bs. And they are pet friendly.

Stayed here for 2 nights, one before the salt flats visit and then one after. We were able to park in the courtyard and they made a washroom and showers in one of the rooms available for us. The wifi is good and there is a lovely common area too. Great place to stop. It is pay by donation and we paid 50Bob for the two of us and our rig.

Report Check-In

As described. We were assigned the parking space in the courtyard, which was the best, while two other bigger rigs (wider?) were parked one on the street and one in the side yard. The vibe of the owners is definitely chill, and they are very helpful, in our case educating us on the ease of purchasing medication at the pharmacy. Payment still by donation, so we gave Bol 50 per night. Good water available from a spigot near the front door of the hotel. Wifi good. Indoor dining/common area is a great space for lounging or working on the computer. Room guests are provided breakfast so arrangements could probably be made to be included for you. Location is very quiet at night but large packs of dogs roam the streets. 20 minute walk into town.

At the moment we stay with our 7m long, 2,40m wide and 3,40m Motorhome at the side parking place without problems. So it is enough space for bigger rigs ;-) !

A great place to stay in Uyuni. We camped in our car, parked inside the gates. You can use all facilities as already described in the previous comments. The showers are amazing. Super friendly owners. Rafael and Annabel are really nice, professional but relaxed. Based on "propina". We gave 50 BOL per night.

Beautiful little boutique hostel that allows you to camp in your van! The owner is super nice and friendly and very helpful with anything you may need during your stay. He even offers to drive you into town and pick you back up at no cost. We stayed here for 4 nights and we really enjoyed our stay. They allow you to use the bathroom and take a nice hot shower and great WIFI. They were even nice enough to allow us to put some food in their fridge. The parking is a little tight and probably only 2 vans can fit and they also have a side parking next to the building that is gated. The owner was also so nice to allow us to camp here on a donation which we gave about $20BS per night but you could give whatever you feel like. We felt very safe and secure here and the nights were very quite and peaceful because you are not in the downtown. We would definitely recommend!

Best place in Uyuni! Clean bathroom, warm in the lobby, very friendly staff. Wifi! Just perfect & safe. Go here!

Not much to add here. Great place for the night. It's just not possible to fill up your water tank at the moment because water is rationed. But you can fill up your bottles.

Ana is very nice and we could store our campervan here securely inside the gate without issues. there is indeed only space for 2 or 3 campers, but she can make extra space on the main alley.
the max with of the gate is 320cm so you will most likely fit without issues.
Payment is based on propina, we have 30 BOL for estacionar per day, and she was happy. Very fast WiFi that reaches to both parking places and you can take water if you like. can recommend!

Super clean bathroom and spacious shower. Good wifi. Friendly owner. Payment by 'propina' and we gave Anna 50Bs. BUT the parking can barely accommodate two vehicles and we had to park outside the gate although we could still run a cable for electricity and get water. We were a little uncomfortable parked in the street.

The courtyard for campers is really really tiny but if you don’t mind sleeping in the muddy yard next door, futur campground in a While, you can use the kitchen and the banos. Rooms are Nice but if you don’t book through booking, you re not sure to have what you expected. And it does not seem to bother Anyone. Anita and here husband are friendly but the rest of the staff seems like they should do another job. 🫣

A Ana é uma pessoa muito amável e disposta a ajudar. Dormimos em frente ao hotel. Chegamos no fim da tarde e tomamos banho no hotel. Ela não quis cobrar nenhum valor, já que não íamos usar as instalações. Sugeriu apenas uma “propina”, como chamam. Foi uma noite muito tranquila. O lugar é ótimo para quem precisa trabalhar. Tem um Wi-Fi bom e energia. Só não tem água pq ela disse que está sendo controlada no gasto pela prefeitura. Mas se precisar pode usar as dependências do hotel.

Ana is a very kind person and willing to help. We slept in front of the hotel. We arrived late in the afternoon and took a shower at the hotel. She didn't want to charge anything since we weren't going to use the facilities. She just suggested a “bribe,” as they call it. It was a very peaceful night. The place is great for those who need to work. It has good Wi-Fi and power. The only reason there is no water is because she said that spending is being controlled by the city hall. But if she needs to, she can use the hotel facilities.

Great Hotel with great rooms, hot showers and very clean. Service is great. You can also camp in your vehicle in the driveway. Water pressure is better and hotter in the ground floor rooms.

Really good place to park the van. They have the main parking lot and 2 more. Nice & clean bathrooms, shower. Really friendly people

Stayed 4 nights. Nice place. Park safe behind a fence, spots are flat. Electricity and fast WiFi. Be careful with the wall outlets for electricity, our plugs melted, could be dangerous. Friendly owners. We could use toilet and shower, clean but very cold rooms and sometimes only cold water. Quite noisy from traffic, hotel guests, stray dogs and the ‘house dog’ barking next to our motorhome at night & morning. There was no breakfast, lunch or coffee when we were there.

Really nice place with friendly people. We could park our motorhome in their garage and sleep in the car. We could shower - really good ones and super hot, use their toilets and even use electricity for our motorhome.
They say it's based a "propina". We paid 50 Bs for spending the night there. We would recommend it.

The garage is a bit small, not sure if more than 2 motorhomes would fit in there.

We stayed here 3 nights sleeping in our car plus parked our motorhome (6m long) here for 2 nights while we were dong the Laguna Tour. Ana was such a superb host and the facilities here were perfect as well. Clean bathroom, hot and powerful shower. They even drove us to town when we asked for a taxi. Highly recommended……

Anna is just the best. We stayed for 2 nights then left our van parked safely inside their gates for another 2 nights while we went on a tour of the salt flats. Then we had a night in one of the rooms as I was ill. The rooms are heated and gorgeous! And made of salt! She helped us with tours, ordering food, getting to see a doctor and is so warm and welcoming.

Wonderful relaxing place for Overlanders. Ana is the perfect host, her set up comfortable. There is a kitchen you can use, incl fridge and freezer. Bathroom with proper pressure and hot water. Upstairs there are gas heaters and loungers to chill and plan your next route. Three cars can park inside the property otherwise outside, in front of the gate, is fine too. You pay a propina (a tip), an amount that you want to pay for your stay. We enjoyed a lunch buffet the one day which was delicious and cost BOB 35 pp. can definitely recommend this place.

All that is mentioned before is true. Ana and her husband (and the rest of the family and staff) will do almost anything for you. She and some of her family drove around town with our empty European gas bottle to try and get it filled.(Unfortunately didn’t succeed btw..) And if you need a ride to the center they will bring you. We also arranged our 1 day Salar tour via them and could park our motorhome safely in a open air garage around the corner easypeasy. Offcourse they take commission for that. Parking is for free..

Breakfast was: bread, eggs, juice, pancakes yoghurt, fruit, several kinds of serials, coffee, tea and warm milk and some other stuff. Very peaceful place with nice warm big area inside to use. Wifi fast. Parking lot was full, so had to park outside, but that felt very safe as well.

Very nice place to stay safe and comfortable!
They have place for 2-3 big rigs inside the gate, but you can park also in front of the gate. Very nice and clean bath with hot shower. Its a little bit outside of the city center, about 15 minutes walk.

We spent 5 nights in the parking of El Nido, sleeping and working on their Wifi in our campervan. We had WC and hot shower and washed our clothes. At midday, we had once their buffet of quinoa, meat, eggs, vegetables, fruit juice for 35 Bolivianos p.p.=5€. At the end, we proposed to Ana to give her 50 Bolivianos per day = 7€ and she said it was very good. We really recommend this nice place in this ugly and dusty town of Uyuni.

We stayed 3 nights, everything clean and working. Still without a price, just as a tip, so we paid 130b/2p. It is also possible to have a breakfast but it is for 30b/pp, so we didn't try. Very good place in Uyuni!

As described. Very recommended. Very friendly owners and staf will to help and accommodate you. No fixed price for staying, you can give a small propina if you like.
Not very large, we stayed with two 6m vans and a Toyota pick up camper. Than the place is full.
They a working on expanding next door at the moment.

Everything mentioned about this place is true. These people are so kind and welcoming. We were with 4 people and two campers and could stay in their parkinglot. We could use wifi, toilet and shower. Ana can arrange a private tour to the salt flats. These people are also going to expand so they can host more campers. They didn't ask us for money (accept for the tour), but we gave them money for staying there. Big recommendation!!

This place is wonderful! We stayed for two nights while exploring the Salt Flats.

We were able to park our van on the driveway (we managed to squeeze three vans inside the gates) and use the toilets, shower, wifi, common area and kitchen. The shower was hot and powerful and Ana and the staff were so friendly and helpful. There is a great feel to the place, definitely recommend!

We also got electricity. the owner and the staff are very helpful. breakfast is Bs 25 per person. we voluntarily paid 50 Bs per night (two people and a camper) for the site. you don't have to take breakfast.

what a great place! unlike other hotels that let you overland on their property who just see dollar signs, this place is generous and friendly! best shower in Bolivia! you actually have to turn the water temp and pressure down!! after the guests had eaten breakfast they offered us what was left of the continental breakfast. I don't know if they go over the top every time but it was practically a buffet of food still. potable drinking water from the spigot at the front door. there is a tour guide that works here, Claudia I think her name was, that spoke good English and helped us with planning our route through the Salar and the lagunas route. super fast WiFi. dog friendly. no size restrictions but there is only room for one overlander inside the gate and I would imagine if they had guests with vehicles they would ask that you park outside of the gate, which is fine as there isn't anything else out here anyways.

Ana, the owner of the hotel, is a wonderful person. She received us with great affection, we used the common area of ​​the hotel, we had a delicious shower, and we were able to work from the hall, and even use the kitchen. Parking is in front of the hotel, and really only fits one car. We had breakfast here (25 bolivianos per person) and we gave another amount for the kindness of receiving us with so much affection here.

Ana, a dona do hotel, é uma pessoa maravilhosa. Nos recebeu com muito carinho, usamos a área comum do hotel, tomamos um banho delicioso, e pudemos trabalhar do hall, e ainda usar a cozinha. O estacionamento é na frente do hotel, e realmente só cabe um carro. Tomamos café da manhã aqui (25 bolivianos por pessoa) e demos mais uma quantia pela gentileza de nos receberem com tanto carinho aqui.

It’s just a small space in the hotel’s yard (two cars can fit) but you can use the common areas and the bathroom. The shower is very new and clean with hot water. The place is very pretty and the breakfast is good too. Ana and the family are super super kind and welcoming even though the hotel is very busy as it’s always packed with tourists from tour groups who come and go every day. It’s a 20 mins walk to the center and even thought the neighborhood might look a but far away and not so nice, it’s super ok and safe to walk around. There is not a fixed price since Ana is not really running a camping business, for now so she accepts whatever you are able to give. We paid 50bob per night for two people and a car with roof tent and 25bob for breakfast (not obligatory to get breakfast, it was out choice)

What a place, wow. Anna is so friendly and she will do anything to help you. We parked inside the gate together with 2 cars (no problem). We could plug our extension cord in the kitchen. We had coffee and tea during the day and we used the super nice bathroom. She even got us gasoline in our bidons for the local price ofcourse. Wifi is great too!! Because of the help with the gasoline/ the free coffee and tea and electricity we paid 50 per night. But she will also accept half of that.

This is the place to stay Uyuni. Ana Is a lovely person and very welcoming. We slept securely inside the gate for a night in our truck camper, had great wifi, hot showers with great pressure, toilets and common area to use. She only asked for a tip and tried to only accept 30 bs, but we gave 40. She is working on the lot next door for overlanders. In the next few months she's planning to have kitchen, laundry and wifi in that area with a decently wide gate and many more spots. Highly recommend as a base before or after the salary.
