Latest Review for Hostal Republica

We booked a double room (with one matrimonial bed how they call it) and paid a deposit online and when we arrive they wanted to give us a room with 2 single beds.
We tried to explained that all over the world a double room is made of one bed for two people but the staff at reception started yelling at us and offered us to leave if we were not happy with the room.

About Hostal Republica

Highly recommended by Lonely planet and other travel guides. Right downtown, it was formerly the home of ex Bolivian President Pando and has been lovingly converted into a beautiful spacious Hostal with a relaxed atmosphere. Friendly staff, english spoken.

Tours and excursions can be organised through us if required.

We finally had a double room but they charged us 50% extra than what we were supposed to pay and used an exchange rate which is higher than anywhere in Bolivia. 7.2 Bolivianos for 1 USD rather than 7 for 1.
The rooms are cold and grim and the breakfast is not included.
We highly recommend not to stay in thsi hostel, there are plenty of them nearby.

You can take a taxi for 9 to $US, for 4 people with some luggage. For the same price we have a SAFE pick up service a cab will wait for you at the airport.
It takes about 30 minutes.

A cheaper way is to take a MINI BUS (VAN) called COTRANSTUR just in front on the right of the airport entrance (1 $us) until San Franciscos Church or Peres Velasco Square and then walk for 6.5 blocks straight over COMRECIO STREET.
It will take about 45 minutes

If you take a cab you will be charged 1,5 $US, for 4 persons with some luggage.
If you decide to walk, just go out from the terminal turn right down hill until you get to MONTES AV, then keep on the left side until you reach COMERCIO STREET (peatonal) walk straigh for 6.5 blocks until you get the hotel on you left side.

By taxi should be 10 to 15 minutes, on foot it's 30 min walk.
