Linares 947, Rosario; s/d/tr incl breakfast
B$210/280/350;
) Readers praise this pleasant oasis in the heart of the artisan and
tourist center. The rooms are sterile and clean (some have internally facing windows), and
the plant-filled courtyard adds a colorful, if potentially noisy, touch. Reserve ahead - it's
popular with groups.

; Colombia 257, Sopocachi; dm/s/d/tr incl breakfast
B$60/200/250/300;
) This bright, HI-affiliated place is in a fabulous spot between
San Pedro and El Prado. It's less of a scene than the hostels up by the terminal, making it
good for tranquilo travelers. The dorm rooms are the nicest in La Paz with crispy-cream
orange bedcovers and a bright modern feel. Some of the dorm bunks will leave you with
vertigo.

) While it's a bit difficult to find, this top-flight Sopocachi
midrange choice has whimsical art throughout, funked-out and tasteful rooms complete
with kitchenettes, cable TV and sitting areas, and a home-spun family friendliness that's
especially attractive for long-stay visitors and families.

Oooh la la!
This one is tops. The attention to
detail in these light, bright and airy self-catering, serviced apartments is French in flavor -
and that means
bon goût
(good taste).
