Patio de Piedra Hotel Boutique

A beautiful place in the heart of La Paz. Not direct in the tourist area but close enough to get there in 5 minutes on foot. Also, the bus station is within walking distance. The room was amazing. Spacious, boutiques, big. This old monastery was beautifully renovated and transformed into one of the most beautiful boutique hotels. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Breakfast was lovely and the room you will have it stunning. Next time we come to La Paz we will stay there again.

Our taxi pulled up alongside shuttered doors at 6am in the deserted street. Suddenly the doors swung open, and without a word a man appeared, grabbed our two suitcases in each hand and proceeded upstairs to the reception. 5 minutes later we were getting comfortable in our room on the third floor. The wonderful service continued during out 4 day stay. When we complained about the altitude the same man offered us oxygen which he allowed us to take to our room. Our bus to Copacabana was leaving at 6.30am, so he offered us a packed breakfast for the road. Our room was quite large with a big wardrobe, a fridge and 2 double beds. We were situated on the third floor. The hotel has no elevator and I found the stairs difficult, although the oxygen certainly helped. The location is not in the main tourist area, but if you want to experience authentic Bolivia, it's all happening just around the corner, a few minutes walk. Alternatively, it's 10-15 minutes walk to Sagarnaga Street, which is the main tourist area where you will find lots of hotels, hostels, cafes, restos, handcraft shops and travel agents.

This is a hotel behind a large wooden door on a narrow busy city street. You wonder what you’re in for standing outside, but when the door opens, it’s a completely different story. This hotel is full of charm and character. The floor boards creak and the rooms are like a step back in time, but they are large and comfortable and have all you need in a hotel room. In my room the bed was big and the bathroom was also spacious. There is a fridge. There is a loft of all things, with a bed where kids could sleep if you brought the family. The heater in my room was not working but the staff immediately brought an electric heater which didn’t look like much but was quite effective warming up the room. Downstairs there is a restaurant which is open to the public as well and served good food. Breakfast was included in the $US72 I paid per night. The location is in the centre of the city so everything is walking distance. Patio de Piedra was a pleasant surprise. I wasn’t expecting this hotel to be as good as it was. It is a tremendous place to stay if in La Paz.

Stayed one night and arrived late and left very early but the little time I was there in found the service very good - they offered a packed breakfast for the morning and booked the taxi. The rooms are super - very spacious, well decorated and equipped. The hotel itself is beautiful located in a small road behind a large wooden door that opens out into a small courtyard. Good location for visiting the key tourist spots/museums. Will definitely stay there if I return to La Paz.
