We chose Casona for price - and you get what you pay for, which is not much. The place is pretty big, but lacks sufficient bathrooms and as a consequence sufficient hot water. Internet is relatively slow, but don't expect any connection in Potosi to be able to allow you to Skype. The matrimonial bed is tiny - if you're... More

We arrived very late to this hostel after leaving Uyuni straight away after a Salt Flats tour - tired and sick from the altitude, didn't really help! We weren't shown around when we first arrived (didn't know where the toilets were etc), nor were we given any details like wifi password. I was glad to leave this hostel. Bathrooms are... More

Checked in at 11 pm and the receptionist on duty didn't speak much English which was ok as it gave me a chance to speak in poco Spanish. The lights were out in the halls upstairs so I asked him to turn them on as it was dangerous to walk with no lighting. I came out of the room to... More

They advertised hot showers-- my shower was lukewarm for about 30 seconds before it turned cold. The bathrooms are set up so the shower and toilet are in the same stall so there was often a 15 minute wait for people to finish their showers even if you just wanted to use the toilet for 15 seconds. The bathroom floors... More

Dirty, the staff not nice at all, the rooms cold and smelly, the bathroom I didn't even dare to take a shower, breakfast bad and badly served. Avoid it if you can, it's not cheap and although the city does not offer that many hostels I am sure there are some better than this. We did a lot of hostels... More

Avoid this place if you can. We came here with our Intrepid group in February and were very dissapointment with the room, breakfast and even the staff. The room was average looking but quite big, we were cold due to there being no heating and the shower was never very hot just warm. The breakfast in the morning was terrible,... More

Review La Casona hostal This place has certainly seen better days it needs a good renovation. Good for one or two nights to crash. I saw the mixed reviews and only booked it because it was pretty much the only place available to book online Also we booked a twin room and got two separate beds. Guy in the morning... More

We stayed here for 2 nights. On the internet the place looked very nice. However, when we arrived we realized the place was literally falling apart. There was construction going on to fix the crumbling walls and ceilings and paint was peeling. We had to duck underneath a ladder each time we wanted to get into our room. There was... More

I stayed for one night in Potosi. I ended up having a great time in Potosi because I met some really fun travelers at this hostel. The hostel itself is ok. The space is big and attractive, but it´s a bit cold. The main social space is not outside, but feels almost like it. The showers were warm, but not... More
