Reviews of Hostal Bivouac

The structure is very nice, clean and close to cable car station. I would reccommend especially if you want to avoid a bit if the noose in the main center

Great location, very clean, comfortable bed, super cute dogs, excellent breakfast.

There is no heating - they need to amend the hotel description so people are aware of this. There was a lack of transparency about payment. They wanted to charge me more than what it was advertised for simply because I was a foreign citizen and not Bolivian. They need to be consistent and transparent in relation to payment. The main negative was my room was extremely loud from traffic noise. I was barely able to sleep because of this. Maybe ask for a room further away from the street.

I stayed there twice and they let me check in early both times and the room was lovely and comfortable. They also kept my luggage for me when I went away for the weekend. Breakfast was very good. It is less than 10 minutes walking to the Av Poeta teleférico station and you can take the white or Celeste lines. Excellent wifi. Two adorable Weiner dogs! Very kind staff.

I had 2 nice hot showers there and 3 not-hot showers. They tried to tell me it was because I had a shower too early in the morning, but I also had one at 8:30 am and in the late afternoon and they did not get hot either. You don't get a key for the front door so you have to ring the doorbell whenever you come back, even very late at night. There was no water provided in the room.

Secure bike parking An actual breakfast with real coffee (!) Nightstands and bedside lamps (rare in South America) 2 adorable wiener dogs

Great choice of breakfast. Delicious food. Hostel owner is particularly friendly and helpful and has two lovely dogs. Would recommend staying here! Good location. Comfortable rooms and beds.

Very Nice hostal, I stayed only one night but I felt like home. The staff is very kind. It’s like a Little house with private room and bathroom. I loved the ambiance. I would have stayed longer if my schedule would allow me.

Great Host! We wanna thank Mr Juan and his wife for doing great job! The hostal is exceptionally clean (which is hard to find in Bolivia). It’s a cozy place where you can even use a kitchen. Quiet place. Mr Juan also gives you all important information about interesting places in Bolivia. He can also arrange special tours and expeditions for you. Location seems to be not central, but it’s super comfortable because you are 5 minutes from cable car 🚠 which is the best way of getting around in La Paz! Breakfast is really nice and every morning fresh!

Everything was perfect!

Very helpful and friendly staff, room are clean and food is good. Walking distance to the city. Highly recommend 👌

This place is amazing - beautifully decorated with full, delicious and balanced breakfast buffet, detail-oriented ameneties - better than a five-star hotel! What I loved the best were the people - Juan and Rosa really know how to take care of their guests. You will feel pampered and safe in this gorgeous hostal (which is more like a boutique hotel.)

Delicious breakfast, comfortable room beautifully decorated but also super practical, knowledgeable staff. Better deal and service than you would find in a fancy hotel.

Everything was perfect.

Fantastic hosts and great location close to cable cars.

Clean, very helpful staff

Some noise at night from neighbouring guests

staff were very friendly and helpful the room was good too

I didn't like the location

The owner was great. The whole place was charming, well-maintained, and quiet--which is very hard to find in La Paz.

Internet in the room was slow.

Amazing staff, amazing breakfast, super clean rooms and common areas. The staff were very accommodating for our early check in, early check out and extending our stay at short notice. Location is a touch out of the way but only a 5 to 10 minute safe walk from everything including a cable car station.

Nothing ☺️

A very kind host.

Parking area a little congested.

Friendly staff and introduction

You need to advise the people if you leave early as the doors are locked.

I really enjoyed my stay at Hostal Bivouac. The hostal is spotlessly clean, perfectly located and run by an amazing family. Also there is a great breakfast! I was allowed to check in early after a night bus and Juan and his family were so kind. A speedy and reasonable laundry service is also offered. I would definitely recommend and return.

Lovely and very helpful host, spotlessly clean rooms and facilities. Very good located in a save neighborhood and close to the cablecar, supermarket, cafes. Comfortable beds, high-standard bathrooms and furniture, fully equipped common kitchen.
