Perfect location! If you’re looking to explore and experience the culture this is the place!! Owner was exceptional and genuinely kind. Breakfast was cooked at your convenience. Any transportation needed what’s set up by hotel. We had absolutely no stress and free to visit the ruins as many times as we wanted sometimes we were the only ones there perfect experience.

So close to the ruins, you can almost touch them.

Excellent customer service! We did some research about the area and knew it would be cold at night with limited heat, so we packed accordingly. Rooms were clean and the breakfast was great! We liked the fact that we had a safe place to stay without having to rush the trip and try to see everything in one day. Did Tiwanaku and museums on day one and Puma Punku on day two. We walked around and ate at a restaurant in town, great food and the locals were very friendly. We speak no spanish but had no issues.

The hotel was next to the Tiwanaku archaeological site and therefore a perfect place to stay. Friendly host, warm water. Rooms were clean.

Conveniently located for a visit to the Tiwanaku ruins (next door), this hotel makes an ok stop after crossing the border from Peru at Desaguadero. It bills itself as '4-star', but it's not really. Spacious hotel has seen better days and feels a bit neglected inside. Very friendly and helpful staff, and a decent meal was provided (although the restaurant was not open). Secure parking was a plus. Bed was completely knackered and felt like most of the springs had collapsed. Water warmish-hot after about 5 mins of running the tap. Good wifi was a suprise.

Stellar Customer Service

Stellar customer service is the hallmark of this property. Pablo, the owner’s nephew was the hotel manager and he went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. We were one of two guest rooms booked during this off season, and when I inquired about where we could find dinner, he said they could prepare some for us and what time would we like to eat? We were the only ones eating, yet he made sure he turned on the music for atmosphere. The breakfast (included with your room) was delicious. The hotel itself is situated closest to Tiwanaku and rooms with views of the monument are recommended. Pablo arranged for us to meet an English-speaking guide at Tiwanaku (make sure you book in advance as there are only 3 English speakers right now). When the time came to leave , we asked about a taxi to La Paz and Pablo offered to take us himself! Couldn’t ask for better customer service! Thank you so much, We highly recommend!

Tiwanaku est presqu’un village fantôme, du moins en novembre. Le site de Tiwanaku vaut grandement le déplacement et Don Pedro est un hôte comme on n’en voit que très rarement! Passionné d’histoires et d’objets sacrés dont Tiwanaku déborde, il nous emmène dans sa veille van voir des sites hors circuit, en plus de nous faire à déjeuner, et nous conduire au restaurant, L’Hotel qui nous fait vivre un voyage dans le temps, est spacieux, propre et juste à côté des sites. C’est l’endroit où aller à Tiwanaku!

La mejor ubicación de Tiawanaku, frente a las famosas ruinas que transforman este lugar en el principal destino de turismo cultural de Bolivia. La atención excelente y compensa con creces algunas pequeñas deficiencias. La ducha funciona bien y hay esmero por ayudar. El desayuno bueno, con fruta y huevos revueltos. Merece estar lleno de gente !

Ruínas de Tiwanaco

Saimos de La Paz, de carro alugado, na hora do almoço para visitar as ruinas de Tiwanaco, e com receito de pegar a estrada a noite, dormimos no Hotel Akapana. O hotel é muito simples e sem manutenção, mas tivemos banho quente, cama e um muito simples mas bom café da manhã, sem TV no quarto. Outro problema, a cidade nao rem resraurantes a noite, e acabamos ficando sem jantar.

Wenn die Auswahl begrenzt ist…

Die Lage zur der Ausgrabungsstätte ist ideal Das Personal spricht englisch. Die Sauberkeit ist akzeptabel. Es gibt einen kostenlosen, sicheren Parkplatz Das war‘s schon zum Positiven. Die Matratzen sind eine Zumutung. Man spürt nicht nur jede einzelne Feder, nein sie tun weh! Das Angebot im Ort ist nicht groß. Wahrscheinlich ist dieses Hotel schon eins der Guten.

This property advised as a 4 star hotel. The rooms are cold, no heat. Uncomfortable bed, no tv, old furniture, not even hangers for your clothes. Expedia overcharges for the room, saying that the hotel is fully booked. I think I was the only guest, haven't seen anyone else. In the future I will avoid using Expedia because they always overcharge for hotel rooms.

No hubo nadie al hotel

We showed up at 4pm and the hotel was completely closed. After ten minutes of knocking and calling, a painter came down and gave me a phone number to call. It was disconnected. We left. We are not being charged for this, right?

37 degrees out and no heat. Our room was filthy. Garbage left in room from previous guest. No staff in hotel after 10pm, lights turned out in hallways,etc. very flimsy door, and people knew which rooms were occupied because other rooms had keys in keyhole. Felt unsafe. The heat was the biggest problem though. Froze to death

No contestan si tienen 24 horas de recepcion,originan mal viaje desconociendo si llegar a 1 lugar inospito, se puede ingresar tranquilo y seguro. Pague malamente 2 dias y me dicen que no pueden revocar pago,si yo cancelo, debo pagar igual los 2 dias. La dueña me dice que Hotel le paga despues de 30 dias, yo queria pagarlo ese mismo dia, pero me.comentaron que ustedes no pagaban de inmediato, se origino un dialogo,no haciendo favorable la estadia al pasajero. Me deben reembolsar 1 dia,porqe nunca supe si estaban dispuesto a atenderme o no . Solicito mas seriedad para confiar en esta aplicacion.

We have been the place 2 years ago. It was packed. This trip, it seems we had arrived in off season. The gigantic hotel only host a few international travelers, which is not a bad idea. The Hotel is just right next to the Tiwanaku site: walk out the door in 1 min, you are at the ticket booth. We were planing to take 2 days to enjoy the sites ( 2 museums and 2 sites), however, the expensive ticket seems valid for only the same day. We talked with the guard and mentioned we stayed at Hotel Akapana, it actually worked out. This is Hotel designed for hardcore Tiwanaku fever enthusiasts! Enjoy the breakfast which having the Sun Gate and Moon Gate in your sight. If Owner Rosario is at Hotel, she was in New Jersey 20 plus years, it will be easier to communicate in English. Kitchen can provide lunch and dinner, but we have to mention it before hand, they will need to prepare the materials fresh. If you go, don't forget to grab a local beer or wine from their inventory. $10 a bottle of wine...not bad! Don't forget to explore their big court yard, there is a friendly dog who is very happy to meet new friends. If you ran out of Bolivianos, Wilie in the hotel can help you. Veronica and Ms. in the kitchen, will try to make a pancake for you in the morning, if you mention it to them. If you like star gazing, it is fairly quiet during the night!

This hotel places you one block from the entrance to the archeological site of Tiwanaku. Willy, who is managing Hotel Akapana, is knowledgeable about the history and significance of the site, but further, is a really nice guy who does whatever he can to help you with your stay. Very nice meals are available at the hotel as well. I recommend.
