10/10 Excellent
"Old town La Paz hotels are typically older and noisier; Qantu hotel in the middle of the action is no exception. Its location is super convenient and once we moved to the back of the building, it became much quieter. The rooftop offers a great view of the basin, and the staff was incredibly helpful and pleasant to deal with. We had a morning flight and they booked us transportation and prepared to go breakfast bag, it was so thoughtful. We also ran into a tour hiccup and the staff went out of their way to connect us to alternative vendors. Their customer focus is exceptional."

"The staff was excellent and very helpful. The breakfast was excellent and there were many options. The gym was not a gym and should not be offered as a gym. There was no equipment apart from two treadmills. The pool and hot tub areas were dirty and not well kept. Another very bad point. Room service was excellent. My room was very clean, and the maids were very kind and did a wonderful job daily. The hotel and rooms are a bit outdated but comfortable for the most part."
