As the title says, I'm seriously puzzled as to who came to Hotel El Dorado, paid $50/night for a room and complained as bad as they did. We stayed here as part of a tour organised accommodation and when we read up about this place on TA before our stay, we were worried.. But I can't express how wrong our... More

After reading the negative reviews on Tripadvisor, I was a little concerned about staying here but I needed a budget hotel in La Paz and decided to stay here anyway. I seriously don't know what all the bad reviews are about....!? The staff were SUPER friendly and helpful and even spoke English, the room was spacious and cleaned daily and... More

A friend highly recommended El Dorado, so despite its low rating on Trip Advisor, we decided to give it a try. It was barely adequate. We would not stay there again. Following are some pros, cons, and recommendations: PROS: The location is perfect. It is close to many attractions, sights, restaurants, etc. I found the male staff member to be... More

Yeah it's okay. Beds fairly comfortable, bath ridiculously shallow and hot water not realiable. The lifts were noisy and could be heard whilst trying to sleep. Staff not all that helpful, English not widely understood and breakfast not worth eating considering how cheap some good breakfasts out are (look around and get recommendations). But all in all we didn't come... More

El Dorado is a budget hotel in central La Paz, its very basic but essentially clean and adequate and very handy for the main sites of La Paz and a decent base for exploring further afield. The rooms are basic but reasonably comfortable, staff are friendly and helpful and the breakfast minimalistic but again adequate especially if your suffering from... More

I booked this hotel (having read the reviews) because it was next door to a friend's homestay. The hotel decor takes retro to a higher level. However, this was not my main problem. I left my stuff at the hotel when I went on a tour. I left at 4am for the airport and had to wake the bell boy... More

We found some of the staff at this hotel very unhelpful. We arrived at 6am after an overnight bus trip from La Paz but our room was booked for 7am. We had to wait in the foyer for an hour before they let us into the room even though it was vacant. The room was small, old, dark and uninviting.... More

The rooms are very old and dated but they are clean. Rooms facing the road can be quite noisy with the traffic so stay on a higher floor if possible. The reception staff are friendly and very helpful. They even offered to make me a special breakfast when I had to leave at 4am for an early flight!
