Hostal Colonial Potosi

Located on a Main Street, this is one of those hotels that look small from the outside but is huge on the inside. It’s a narrow street and even a taxi must stop traffic while unloading any luggage. The location cannot be beat as it’s just 1 block from the central square. You also have the best restaurant in town directly across the street - “4060”. The hotel and rooms are all equipped with a radiator which keeps it toasty warm. All other aspects of the rooms are fine - linens, shower, toilet, etc. It’s not a 5 star resort so don’t expect all the amenities, but hot water and heat and a nice environment will make you feel “at home”.

You simply can’t stay in a better location than this hotel. It is 1min to the main square of the old town. A 4,000m you will appreciate short walks. There’s a beer place across the street with a good selection of non-lager beer but I wouldn’t eat there. It’s in a gorgeous old building and rooms are old styled to match. The bed was very comfortable, the room was nice and warm. Plenty of hot water (shower over bath) and they was a hair dryer that wasn’t attached with an armoured chain to the wall. Breakfast was nice too but simple There was a TV but no remote. An empty fridge that wasn’t plugged in. One bottle of water for a couple over 2 days was stingy. And I don’t know why they didn’t replace the toilet roll. In summary, highly recommended for a short stay (we did 2 nights).

I love Potosi; the history is extraordinary. Such a great hotel in the perfect location; its not a hostel as the name suggests. Lovely Colonial ambience. Great staff. Room was big and excellent; out the back and one of the larger rooms. Heating was a bit hot at times. Great view of the Cerro Rico out the room window. Very friendly staff. Directly opposite Potosi's best restaurant. Just up the road from the main plaza and the Casa de Moneda.
