I booked this hotel (having read the reviews) because it was next door to a friend's homestay. The hotel decor takes retro to a higher level. However, this was not my main problem. I left my stuff at the hotel when I went on a tour. I left at 4am for the airport and had to wake the bell boy... More

We found some of the staff at this hotel very unhelpful. We arrived at 6am after an overnight bus trip from La Paz but our room was booked for 7am. We had to wait in the foyer for an hour before they let us into the room even though it was vacant. The room was small, old, dark and uninviting.... More

The rooms are very old and dated but they are clean. Rooms facing the road can be quite noisy with the traffic so stay on a higher floor if possible. The reception staff are friendly and very helpful. They even offered to make me a special breakfast when I had to leave at 4am for an early flight! More

El Dorado achieved the status of worst breakfast in our 6 weeks of travel. Don't wast your time even attending. Rooms are dirty, dark and dated. We moved to Hotel Las Brisas and it was in a much better area and better rooms. The area around El Dorado on a Sunday is very quiet and i wouldn't venture too far... More

We spent 4 nights at El Dorado. We liked the hotel and absolutely loved the location. It is set a bit away from the touristy area packed full of tourist booking offices (and tourists), but that neighborhood is still only a 15-20 minute walk away or easily accessible by micro. However, just a few blocks downhill is a more upscale... More

The rooms here are very cramped. Initially we had a triple room although one of our friends sloped off to a 5* for 2 nights (couldn't hack the budget hotel pace) and we were given a small twin. When we said we'd have the triple thinking we'd have more room the reception told us that they would put another mattress... More

this hotel was built in the 60s and nothing has changed. The rooms are reasonably comfortable and warm but its very tired. All of the linens and towels are threadbare and chewing gum grey. Staff are mediocre - not particularly helpful and everything seems like an effort. Its like they have better things to do (ie stand around gossiping) than... More
