We picked this hostal as somewhere we could leave our luggage and get in a quick shower before our night bus to La Paz so we did not actually stay the night there. Our family has traveled a lot a has done this in the past with no problem, but here, because the room had only been booked for two people, only two our of four of us could go into the room. Oh and this was after we lugged our four 50 lb (about 23kgs) roller luggages up the six flights of stairs it took to get there...In the end we made peace that only two of us could go up to have a shower, but when I walked into the communal shower it was so crammed and gross looking I decided I would rather go without a shower. My boyfriend took a shower and said it was ice cold, never turning hot and wished he hadn't done that to himself. The room it self was alright, but again, we did not sleep there so I can't speak to that
