Breakfast was the highlight. Really good. Rooms were decent and it seemed to be family run which I appreciate. There were some inconveniences. I had requested a room with a heater. My first room was on the 3rd floor but after asking several times they told me they couldn’t put the heating on in that room. They moved me to the ground floor which had individual heaters. It was kind of late at night and after a long cold trip south of Uyuni. Service was good though and they certainly made every effort to make me comfortable. The issue with the heater was just a minor issue that is outweighed by the effort of the staff and the amazing breakfast.

This is the most stylized hotel in town. Super convenient to the bus terminal no matter you need to go to LaPaz or Chile. You will be amazed with their deco inside. Breakfast is at the level of Hilton. Super helpful front desk and lovely owners, who exchange money for us to buy local bus ticket. Strongly recommend.

Freeze cold, noisy place...

No heating... Uyuni is so cold place. It starts freezing in the late afternoon. The hotel has very bad central heating system. Heating radiators are so small. It is not possible to heat the rooms and hotel building with this central heating system. More than that they are not turning the heating system before 7pm or 8PM and turning it off before 6AM in the morning. Plus, the windows are leaking air in and out to make room more colder. You have to have your breakfast in a freeze place. So. it is freeze every where in the hotel. We used one electric heater in the nights but was not enough also. We could not have shower during 3 nights because of very cold room temperature And we caught a cold in our stay. Another issue is the disco-bar cross the street, Unbelievable high level sound until 3:00AM. So, no way to sleep because of cold and high level sound from the disco...Other then cold room and sound issue the cleaning of the room was not proper. I could not say our room was cleaned properly. Breakfast was good. As a final word, I would not go back to this hotel any more.

I stayed at this hotel both before and after my 3 day tour of the Salar de Uyuni. The hotel is comfortable and well located. The staff is friendly and helpful. The breakfast is especially good with buffet and eggs made to order. I am glad I chose this property, and I would gladly stay here again.

Comfortable and clean stay in Uyuni

2.5 star accommodation in this area is the norm. Very clean, very nice, easy to organize things like laundry and taxi to the airport. The WiFi was very good, which I think is rare in Uyuni.

Excellent hotel at great price!

We stayed at Hostal la Magia after our 3day2night Uyuni tour to the national park. We were really tired and this hotel offered a really nice place for us to get refreshed. Great location just near to the center of town and a few nice pizza restaurants. (good at night when you are so tired after a tour). Great warm showers, tidy room and smooth and quick wifi. Both staffs are extremely kind and helpful. Helped us to print the Amazonas boarding pass after we emailed it to them. Tho its a little too noisy at night and the curtains aren’t thick enough to completely block the daylight. (tho this wasn’t any issue to us given that we were too tired haha). Oh yes, and breakfast is good enough. Overall, very nice for it price and great for a stay.
