Alsigal Hostal

The Good Things: The twin room with private bathroom was only 70Bs, lot less less than most of the famous Hostel recommended everywhere. breakfast is not included but the premium choice is only 15Bs and in the end you will still pay less than those other Hostels with a much, much better breakfast.The rooms are clean and comfortable with no heat (at least the one that I stayed in) the hostel itself was very friendly-looking, nice colors, everything looked semi-new or new. The room came with cable-tv (I didn't see that in others-more-expensive hostels), and if you stay on the 4th floor looking at the street you'll get a nice view of La Paz. The bad things: The bathroom displayed an awful smell coming from the sewer around after 8pm. The shower is an electrical shower, first time that I used one of those, I hated it. I don't know if it was the water pressure or that freaking electrical thing that made the water stream really, really weak and medium temperature. Not a good thing when you spend 10 days hiking through the mountains with no shower, getting into civilization expecting only two things; Food and a hot shower. I just got one of those.....So heads up. I stayed from Friday to Monday, the street where the Hostel is located is full of bars and pubs, actually there's one right next to it. If you stay on the street side, expect noise coming from those places. I rated it Very good only for the Location, The price, and the quietness if you're looking a nice and quiet place to rest and just chill when you get back after your days outside. That's the place. Other hostels have those 4-8-10-12-15 and even 20 people in one room, so keep that in mind that place will get loud.
