Hostal La Magia de Uyuni

The location is good, approx 400-500 metres from the bus stop and pretty close to the town centre. The staff were very nice and approachable. They dont speak English but we managed well. The breakfast was good as well.

We were there for a day and whatever we needed before starting our Salar tour, we got it. I think the payment mode of cash only might be a challenge if cash isnt handy. However there is a BCB ATM around 300 m, so that can be handled as well.

Breakfast was really good!

1. The heaters were not great, and there weren’t directions on how to use them. So it often wasn't clear if they were even on. 2. Checking in was really annoying because when scanning the card, it asked for a PIN. Here’s the thing—American credit cards don’t usually have a PIN. No one in the USA has ever asked for a credit card PIN. So most people don’t know what it is, even if their credit card does have one. Instead of helping me figure out the problem such as showing a map to an ATM nearby so I could do cash or helping in any other way, the check-in guy chose to try to convince me I was wrong about my own culture through a translator app. That wasn’t great customer service. I would suggest 1. Putting that note for Americans in the check-in information so they can look it up ahead of time, 2. Being able to give directions to an ATM if it doesn’t work, and 3. Simply not telling the customer in front of you that they’re wrong about the fact that it’s not typically requested by any businesses, including by any other Bolivian businesses during the several days leading up to that point. Would’ve really appreciated him just telling me where an ATM was the first time I asked.

Das Hotel ist nach wie vor gut. Grosse Zimmer mit Heizung und Warmwasser, gutes Frühstück. Es liegt nahe am Stadtzentrum. Das Hotel ist allerdings etwas in die Jahre gekommen.

Die Beleuchtung in unserem Zimmer war etwas spärlich. Wir fühlten uns nicht sehr willkommen.

Located near to some good restaurants
