    Signs say no noise after 10pm yet the staff played music until much later. Room had no exterior windows, all lead to hallways. Our bathroom window looked out into the stairwell…. The staff at breakfast could have been more friendly/acknowledged we existed….

    Good location and comfy bed. Shower was hot and big.

    My second visit here, it's an easy stay. Very close to the touristy area, 24/7 reception, nice staff, free breakfast, Information and tours available

    Very little social events were organized. There were apparently activities that were supposed to occur nightly according to the chalkboard but nothing was ever organized. Also some bathrooms did not have soap in them.

    Great staff and location. Cleaning occurred daily

    Showers only useable in morning and evening. Massive beam above bed (dangerous). The tiniest piece of tomato with breakfast almost feels like they are mocking you, overall the breakfast is a simple and small portion of eggs and bread. Loud restaurant music top floor. Restaurant also used for public so sometimes no place to eat your own food. Street can be loud at times. Lockers could be bigger. Tours expensive. On site cafe expensive. I also asked reception 3 times if the cleaners found my toothbrush, as I may have left it on the sink before going out for the day. Each time I asked reception, theyvsaid they will send a message. They never told me in the end.

    Showers were good. Breakfast ok. Big Hostel. Great Location. Warm beds. Nice views.

    The room was next to the hallway so a lot of noise and light, because the curtains are White and do not work. The bathroom could be cleaner.

    The hostel is really nice. Good breakfast, Nice beds and Lots of Spaces to chill and have a drink or dinner. Would recommend it!

    the bar which is open till 23:00 was playing loud terrible music so basically you cannot sleep earlier as you hear drunk people screaming and actually on Wednesday night they played music till almost midnight. and then the people in my room were quite disrespectful regarding the sleeping hours, coming back at 2am to pack their backpacks with the lights on and slamming doors without any consideration for us sleeping. if you want good rest, I don’t recommend this place. also from the street you hear the traffic quite loud till late and then early morning starts again. for 30bs more I found a hotel next street and I have a double bed with private bathroom all for myself.

    good location and nice staff but next time I would go somewhere else :) the hostel is noisy and party like vibes, not my kind of

    The smell of the shared room I was in was quite bad, lots of trash in it including an empty pizza box in the room, so difficult for me to stay but I was checking out in a few hours anyways. Please do a deep clean and airing out of the rooms.

    I gave them very short advance notice that I needed middle of the night check in and they were able to arrange a taxi for me and someone was there to check me in. I was warm in the room with enough blankets and it had good breakfast. Nice staff.

    Stayed in Lobo hostel for 2 nights with some friends and really enjoyed my stay. You are able to check at whatever time as the reception is 24hrs. The rooms/ toilet were very clean when we arrived. Breakfast is included and consists of juice, tea/ coffee, a banana, bread and eggs which was great. The location of Lobo hostel is also ideal and central. Close to everything! We also booked some activities through Lobo hostel such as Cholitas wrestling and also biking Death Road and it was very easy to book, well organised and reasonably priced! Would recommend Lobo hostel if you’re looking for a social, central and comfortable stay.

    Breakfast is served too late if you are taking tours or an 8am bus. They give you a little bag of snacks but I would have rathered a cheaper rate.

    Right by witches market and only 20 minutes walk from bus terminal. Big windows in room, individual outlets at each bed. Big lockers. Got a great price with them for Death road biking (350 sols full suspension, paid less than anyone else on the tour).

    The facilities are mediocre at best. In the room I was staying, the door to the toilet was broken, and also partially see-through. Especially being the only woman in a room of only men this made things awkward and uncomfortable. Luckily, there were shared bathrooms a floor up, but still not great (there were sometimes dirty and the shower only gave a very weak drizzle). Also, the room didn't have a real window, and the music from upstairs was so loud that it was hard to sleep until very late. This was annoying and most of all unnecessary, considering that the bar was never really busy or people dancing. One of the employees falsely told me it wasn't possible to exchange money or book tours through the hostel, luckily I asked someone else after shift change and got very good service.

    Great location, majority of staff very helpful and knowledgeable. I was there when everything was closed due to carnival, and they were great in helping me organize my onward journey as well as, when asked, exchanged USD at an acceptable rate (significantly better than others). They also have a great offer of affordable tours and excursions. The bar under the rooftop is a very nice place to chill, easy to get in contact with other people, fair prices.
