Madero Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent
"An Excellent Place to Stay in La Paz – Hotel Madero! Hotel Madero is, without a doubt, one of the best places to stay in La Paz! From the friendly and attentive staff to the excellent location, cleanliness, and well-balanced breakfast, everything makes for a wonderful and comfortable experience. The hotel offers a perfect combination of convenience, quality, and hospitality that makes it stand out. One helpful tip when booking: Try to reserve a room on the fourth or fifth floor for a quieter stay. There is a party hall on the ground floor and a restaurant on the top floor, so rooms directly above or below these areas can be noisy, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. Aside from that small recommendation, Hotel Madero is an outstanding choice, and I would gladly recommend it to anyone visiting La Paz. A fantastic hotel that truly makes your stay in the city even better!"

8/10 Good
"The breakfast is pretty good for an included breakfast-they even serve made to order eggs. This hotel is definitely unique and boutique as it is in an old mansion. It is close enough to the historic city center to walk if you don’t mind a bit of a trek. There are plenty of good restaurants nearby as well as a teleférico station about 10 min walk away. The mattress of my bed really needed to be replaced as it sagged and the shower was a bit cramped for a taller guy-I hit my head on the enclosure serval times! All in all, an acceptable experience."
