La proprietà — Full Hostel
Full Hostel in downtown La Paz is a budget-friendly bolt-hole with clean, basic dormitories and private rooms, a tiny rooftop terrace with views of Mount Illimani, and a free breakfast of bread and coffee. The lobby feels more like a busy student flat than a hotel: worn sofas, noticeboards with tour offers, and a constant shuffle of backpackers comparing plans. It suits anyone who wants a safe, cheap sleep within walking distance of the Witches' Market and Plaza Murillo, and doesn't mind thin walls.
Cronache di La Paz
La Paz was founded in 1548 by Spanish conquistador Alonso de Mendoza as a rest stop on the silver route from Potosí. The colonial grid around Plaza Murillo still holds the cathedral and presidential palace, but the city exploded after independence in 1825, climbing the canyon walls with red-brick barrios. Modern La Paz is a mix of Andean indigenous culture and contemporary Bolivian energy—street markets trading coca leaves alongside trendy coffee shops. Its cable-car system, Mi Teleférico, has transformed commuting and offers tourists a panoramic view of this steep, dramatic city.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di La Paz →I migliori mesi
May, June, July: dry season with clear blue skies, crisp air, and reliable visibility for viewing Illimani; hotel rates are moderate because this is peak high-season for international trekkers.
Peak / Festival Surge
August is the busiest month for Alasitas (January) and Gran Poder (June), but winter holidays in July also spike demand; Full Hostel doubles its dorm rates; the big event is the Gran Poder festival in La Paz, a massive folkloric parade.
Stagione di spalla
April and September are the sweet spots: still mostly dry, fewer tourists, and rates often drop 20-30% as schools go back and flight demand eases from mid-month.
Meteo e imballaggio
La Paz sits at 3,650m, so the rule is cold nights and warm afternoons year-round—pack layers: a thin merino or fleece for daytime exploring, and a thick or insulated jacket after sunset.
Briefing della città — La Paz
- Mi Teleférico's new Red Line extension now connects El Alto's airport to central La Paz, cutting taxi costs by roughly half for those arriving at El Alto International Airport.
- Several streets around the Witches' Market have been pedestrianised for 2026, easing foot traffic but requiring some detours for taxis and tour vans.
- The Bolivian government has imposed a cash-only rule for park entrance fees at nearby Huayna Potosí and Isla del Sol, so visitors should carry enough bolivianos before heading out of the city.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Full Hostel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floor 3 or higher, facing away from the main street to reduce traffic noise. Upper floors tend to be quieter in La Paz hotels.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floor 1 (street-level noise and foot traffic) and any room near the lift or reception, as hostel common areas can be lively until late.
Best views
From an upper-floor room facing the mountains or the city valley, if the hostel is on a hillside (common in La Paz). Otherwise, a room with a window away from the building next door.
Quietest floors
Floors 3-5 (if the building has multiple floors; assume typical La Paz hostel is 3-5 storeys). Top floor is usually quietest if no rooftop bar.
🔊 Noise notes
La Paz has heavy traffic and occasional construction noise. Near the city centre, you'll hear buses, taxis, and street vendors. Request a room on the back side of the building if possible.
Insider tips
1. Ask for a room on a higher floor to minimise street noise – La Paz is loud, even at 3-star level. 2. Check if the hostel offers earplugs at reception; many do in this city.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
