; Ho- yos 8; s/d/tr B$280/360/400;
) In a
well-kept colonial building near the main plaza, this warm whitewashed retreat has
smallish rooms with windows onto a central courtyard; all have minibars and cable TV,
and some have bathtubs. It's a longstanding favorite with midrange travelers and boasts
very helpful English-speaking staff and a great location.

)
This well-appointed hotel is by the convent of the same name, in a quiet part of central
Potosí. It has smallish but pleasant, and occasionally overly green, rooms; the upstairs
units have more light. The courtyard restaurant, Rosicler, is one of the city's best. It's a
somewhat formal dining experience that can be enjoyed in your room with less fuss.

and based around two pretty patios, this blue-colored hotel is well run and ad-
equately heated. New owners have added a nice touch, decorating the courtyards like little
town plazas and naming them after important historic figures, and more importantly they
have cut the price substantially for an improved level of service. Note that a name change
may soon be on the cards.
HOTEL
Hostal Patrimonio $$
(

;
Matos 62; s B$294, d B$420-460)
Fairly
standard hotel with rooms opening on to a central atrium. That said, the friendly service
and reliable hot water make up for the lack of character and it is better than most options
in this price range in Potosí. Avoid the rooms at the front, especially on weekends, as it is
opposite a disco.
