"The breakfast is pretty good for an included breakfast-they even serve made to order eggs. This hotel is definitely unique and boutique as it is in an old mansion. It is close enough to the historic city center to walk if you don’t mind a bit of a trek. There are plenty of good restaurants nearby as well as a teleférico station about 10 min walk away. The mattress of my bed really needed to be replaced as it sagged and the shower was a bit cramped for a taller guy-I hit my head on the enclosure serval times! All in all, an acceptable experience."

"Old town La Paz hotels are typically older and noisier; Qantu hotel in the middle of the action is no exception. Its location is super convenient and once we moved to the back of the building, it became much quieter. The rooftop offers a great view of the basin, and the staff was incredibly helpful and pleasant to deal with. We had a morning flight and they booked us transportation and prepared to go breakfast bag, it was so thoughtful. We also ran into a tour hiccup and the staff went out of their way to connect us to alternative vendors. Their customer focus is exceptional."
