總統飯店

The location is great for all things touristy. The hotel has seen its glory days past and considering it’s amenities was probably top notch. Currently things are wearing out and dated. Pool, sauna and hot tub area is my favourite amenity in an open domed atrium. The room is spacious but no working air conditioning, so requested a floor fan. Rooms facing the main street are noisy as the windows are old. Bathroom was adequate but extra toilet paper needs to be requested. Breakfast was average.

This is the second time I'm staying in this hotel. The room was wonderful, very big and comfortable. Staff was very helpful and polite. Hotel location is great, 2 minutes walk from plaza San Francisco, 3 minutes walk from plaza Murillo. They also gave me the room at 8am, which was very important after a long flight. They open the breakfast buffer very early in the morning (4am), which is very important for guests who have to go on a trip or have to catch an early flight. Breakfast has improved compared with last year, but still needs further improvement. Now you can cut the bread yourself and prepare a toast. They have cheese, but still no vegetables.

Das Hotel Presidente ist zentral gelegen und daher auch sehr laut. Der Straßenlärm gelangt ungefiltert bis ins Zimmer. Im Zimmer war es sehr warm und eine Klimaanlage zum kühlen des Zimmers gibt es nicht. Das Hotel ist ziemlich in die Jahre gekommen. Wir hatten unser Zimmer in der 14. Etage und nebenan wurden Zimmer renoviert. Aus dem Gully im Badezimmer stank es ziemlich. Das Frühstück war in Ordnung.

No es un hotel de 5 estrellas. Los servicios prestados fueron bastante deficientes. El equipo de conserjería fue bastante malo; no están preparados para la atención al cliente. Pedí oxígeno por problemas respiratorios y nunca me lo mandaron; no les importan los huesoedes. En esto, quiero hacer una distinción con la señorita Rosario, que sí fue muy atenta y pendiente durante nuestra estadía. En cuanto a los servicios del hotel, no son buenos. El buffet es bueno pero reciclan comida, no hay variación y los almuerzos (BS 100) siempre te sirven lo mismo, parece que hasta que no se termina, no cambian el menú. Luego, los mozos, tienes que por poco hacerles señales de humo para que te atiendan. En cuanto a la zona, es mala, muy ruidosa y las habitaciones no tienen doble vidrio. Son las 3 am, suenan bocinas y gritos, y no te dejan dormir. Las instalaciones del hotel han quedado en el tiempo. Necesitan una renovación.

We did two stays here during our Bolivia trip. The first was an early arrival and overnight (our flight arrived at 6am - so we had early checkin and that same night). We went to Sun Island for a night then came back for our second stay - an afternoon arrival before flying out the next day. The best part about this hotel is the location. It's near two squares/ plazas that were cool to walk to for some good people watching. We didn't have a car and this hotel was booked by our tour operator. A second positive was a friendly staff. When the property owner doesn't maintain the property, that's not the staffs fault. They were doing their best and I am grateful. I also appreciated the US-able plugs so I didn't need an adapter! 8-) I would actively avoid this hotel in the future. Room #1 - Our first room was absurdly hot and facing a main square. Between the people noise and car horns until 2am, you couldn't open the windows AND sleep. They need to put fans in the room. Room #2 - This was a suite, which had a living room with a lot of space. However, it reached with a scent like bug spray. That made us even more worried that something would tag along in our bag. Restaurant - We did "breakfast" here both days and tried it for dinner. We don't eat eggs, and a hot omelette right and been good. Aside from that, the pastry and other stuff was very underwhelming. We basically didn't eat breakfast. Overall property is VERY rundown. The carpet in the hallways, the marks all over the hallway walls, and the overall decor are horribly in need up an update. Even a fresh coat of paint would help. If you ONLY want to use this hotel to sleep and shower, think of it like a motel. I wouldn't stay here again.
