In terms
of value for money this is about your best bet in town, though the rooms with shared bath-
room are a little cramped. The same can't be said for en suite rooms though, and the extra
is money well spent. Tastefully decorated, professionally run and with a bargain suite the
match of any hotel in a higher price range, you can't go wrong.

Villazón 239; s/d B$310/350, ste B$440-470;
)
This well-run place with a light-flooded patio is a handsome, slightly stuffy choice with
decent facilities, including safes and minibars in every room and off-street parking. The
suites are a good choice for families and all the rooms have good bathrooms, heating and
wi-fi. The international restaurant offers room service.

; Bolívar 965; s/d/tr B$530/670/920, ste B$707-884;
) Potosí's latest five-star option, it has all the perks of a luxury hotel - spick-and-
span rooms with minibars, heating and wi-fi - but suffers from a stuffy formal atmo-
sphere. There's a pool, a restaurant, a sauna and room service. Some rooms come with
great city views.
HOTEL
Hostal María Victoria $
(
622-2132; Chuquisaca 148; s/d B$70/90, without bathroom B$40/70)
This attractive
hostel occupies an old colonial home at the end of a quiet lane. The rooms surround a
classic whitewashed and tree-shaded courtyard; there's also a roof terrace with views. A
small breakfast is included and there's a tour agency on site. Note there's an eight-minute
shower limit.
HOSTAL
Hostal San José $$
(
622-4394; Oruro 171; s/d B$90/180, without bathroom B$70/140)
This cheap place
has a cheery welcome and decent location; a 3rd floor was going up at research time.
Ground-floor rooms are pokey with low ceilings so it's worth paying the extra for a better
room, which will give you more warmth, an electric socket and a bigger bed with a less
lumpy mattress.
