The hotel was fantastic. The room was excellent and the views from the restaurant over the entire city were amazing. I cannot praise the staff enough, they couldn’t be more helpful.
There is a lot of political unrest in La Paz at the moment with many governments advising against travel, we decided to go anyway, staying for just 2 nights and do not regret the decision.
The hotel was excellent, they arranged a pick up from the airport and a taxi for the return and were in contact throughout via WhatsApp.
We stayed mainly in the tourist areas, such as the witches market and riding the Teleférico cable cars and felt safe enough, and made sure not to go anywhere where we knew there were active protests, such as around Plaza Murillo and government buildings.
The people there are friendly and really appreciative of tourists supporting local businesses and restaurants which are really suffering.
There are clearly issues that can been seen such as the huge queues for fuel and food shortages for certain items that are not able to get through the blockades, but nothing that directly impacted us to a great extent.
The only direct impact was in getting back to the airport. We had to have a 5am pick up (and subsequently a 4 hour wait in the airport) as after this time there are blockades which prevent any access by road to the airport.. a small price to pay!
If you do plan a trip to La Paz, be sure to stay in this hotel, you will not regret it!
