“Just OK”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 August 2011

At first, I got a double room that had a strange smell. And it was close to the stairs, so I could hear people going up and downstairs all night. It wasn't something that made me stay awake the whole night. No. I could sleep, but sometimes, during the night, I could hear steps.
Then, after coming back from Isla del Sol, I changed the room and this one was MUCH better than the first one. Althought it was smaller, neither strange smell nor noise.
The breakfast is OK. Bread, butter, jelly, chocolate, tea, coffee.
There's free wifi in the room. But the best for me was the hot shower.

“Yep, this place is good”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2011

Hotel Copacabana is cheap, clean and a good place to stay. It's very basic but that's what this place is. Rooms and bathrooms are small so if you want space go somewhere else. No other problems. Would recommend.

“Cheap and friendly”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2010

Good location, simple but clean and cheap. Very friendly staff. Take a room with a good windom facing the sun, it will increase the temperature in your room! Good travelagency at the groung floor.

“Perfect budget choice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 December 2009

The Copacabana is an excellent budget hotel. It is right on Illampu street, close to everything, and rooms are great value. The rooms have wooden floors, bathrooms are small but very clean, and free Wifi that however doesnt reach all rooms well. Breakfast is poor so I skipped it, plenty of choices around. I would absolutely not recommend the travel agency downstairs which has nothing to do with the hotel. I booked an excursion but it was cancelled last minute so no chance to organise something else, even though 3 hours before all was confirmed with enough people in the group.

“An Honest Option”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2009

It’s a well-located hostal in a quite safe area just 2 blocks from Sagarnaga St. where you find many stuffs like tourist agencies.

Hostal Copacabana has good and comfy bedrooms. I asked for a single room with private bathroom but it’s important to note that bathroom is too teeny. Nevertheless, it’s always clean and tidy. Notice that rooms facing to Illampu St may be a bit noisy.

Breakfast is included. They offer some slices of bread with butter and jam. Also, you’ll have a cup of orange (or other fruit) juice and the so important and unfailable coca leaf tea. Don’t miss it mainly if you’ve just stepped in La Paz coming from somewhere at the sea level or about. Coca leafs really help during the acclimatization period.

Front desk is always welcoming, kindly and helpful. Don’t hesitate to ask for directions, tips and hints about La Paz and surroundings. They have a tourist agency in the place.
Internet service is also provided, despite the fact connections are slow.

All in all it’s a place that worth a stay for the price and benefits you find there.

Ps: if you come from a place at the sea level or so, ask for rooms on the first floor. They don’t have lifts and, believe in me, altitude is a severe way to say “welcome”!!!
