We stayed at Hotel Alcatraz for 2 weeks in August while seeing one of us through a major surgery. From our arrival at La Paz airport (owner Maru picked us up) to our departure, we were treated to excellent care. Maru and her staff made sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable and safe (during COVID), including providing wonderful meals cooked to order and regular room cleaning. Our special needs for a recovering patient were met with compassion, flexibility and generosity.
We preferred the hotel to others in its price range because it was not located in the busy, sometimes noisy center of La Paz. The outer gate to the hotel was closed to passersby and we had keys to give us access. Our room and the plant-laden inner patio were quiet refuges for us. When we went out into the world, Uber provided transportation at very reasonable rates.
Our room (#1) was outfitted with very comfortable beds, a large, clean bath and shower, more than adequate A/C, a large TV and very speedy internet. We were allowed to bring a plastic chair into the shower to accommodate our disability needs. We lacked for nothing for our entire stay.
All in all, we were delighted with our choice of Hotel Alcatraz and would recommend it to anyone who prefers an intimate, tranquil, safe stay in La Paz.
