San Antonio Hotel, Potosi, Bolivia

Extra features, like parking and the adjoined restaurant (which serves a hearty set lunch for 10Bs), mark this hostel out as better than a lot of backpacker-oriented accommodation. Fresh towels on check-in and spacious bathrooms can be just the thing after a hard day exploring the mines.

Quite a few of the members of staff speak languages other than Spanish. This is reflected in the guests too, who are frequently from all corners of the world.

Hotel San Antonio is located very close to the Mercado Central and main tourist area. It only takes ten minutes to be in the Plaza 10 de Noviembre, standing in front of the Cathedral. It is all an uphill walk, however.

Facilities:

Some private bathrooms, 24 hour hot water, central heating, cable TV, telephone, restaurant, breakfast (included in the price of rooms with private bathrooms only), tour agency, garage.
