most importantly for me it was clean, not fancy, not large, but decent, price was ok , and breakfast was very fresh and nice, it is walking distance from the ATM and the main restaurants in town, there are 2 (slow) computers in the lobby but they will do.

The hotel is conveniently located in one of the main strips not far from the center of it all. Upon arrival the staff was very friendly, and helpful, we had booked a double room, they actually had kept our booking and showed us to the room, we asked if we could change to a larger one and they had no...

Uyuni is an out-of-the-way place and the town is a little ragged. However, this hotel is better than most in such locales. Built fairly recently, it is still has it's remnants of newness. There is even construction material stored in the lobby for envisioned further development. Rooms were adequate, beds comfortable, breakfast the usual, and little or no hot water... More

Being in the middle of nowhere we didn't expect much. But it was a pleasant surprise. The staff were friendly the rooms were warm and beds comfy. The shower was hot and bathroom clean. The breakfast was ok, bread, jam, yoghurt, hot drinks and cereal with cold milk. The only dissapointment I had was that you had to pay to... More

Hotel Samar wasi is probably one of the best in the area. The rooms are spacious, warm, and with television. Bathrooms are clean too which is important seeing as you have to travel a bit to get there. There's no wifi but until recently bathrooms were shared so I'd say it will be there in no time. It's a short... More

Most of hotels in Uyuni have shared bathrooms. There are several hotels a few blocks from the centre that offer private bathrooms and Samay Wasi is one of them. We only stayed 1 night in one double and one triple room. The rooms are small but OK. There is no heating in the hotel but we were given heating fans... More

Some tips: - Ask for heating - they will provide you an electric oven - Ask for tea - they will bring you tea and cookies :) Rooms: - Clean and comfortable but in July - cold Breakfast: - Available but pretty poor (it does not disturbed anybody) Wifi:...

The hotel has a good infrastructure but it is really cold. I could say that inside is even colder than outside. We had a good night of sleep because they provided us with a small heat for the room. They didn't provide towels and there was no toilet paper in the shared bathroom on the floor I stayed. It also... More

Wind swept (with thousand of used plastic bags everywhere) and an American "wild west" town is what Uyuni felt like to me. No wi fi when I was there. Hotel looked new. Room was adequate. Could have been bigger but for 1 night it was OK. Bit of a walk back into the centre of town (restaurants) but at least... More

We only stayed here for 1 night but it was a very comfortable and inviting place to stay after our trip to the Atacama and it was easy to relax here. The rooms were really nicely decorated and everywhere felt clean and tidy and staff seemed to constantly be cleaning the floors and communal space outside. The rooms are located... More
