Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Lollipop, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the second floor facing the rear courtyard. The hotel is on Uyuni's main street, so back-facing rooms are quieter, and the second floor avoids ground-level bustle while still being accessible by stairs if the lift is small or slow.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms facing the street — Uyuni's main road sees heavy truck and tour jeep traffic from early morning until late evening, and the thin windows in a 3-star won't block it. Also avoid rooms directly next to the lift or stairwell if you're a light sleeper.
Best views
The better view is probably from street-facing rooms, looking over the dusty main road towards the salt flats in the distance. But it's a trade-off with noise. Rear rooms overlook a courtyard or neighbouring rooftops — not scenic, but calmer.
Quietest floors
Second floor (if it exists; typical for a 3-star in Uyuni) is your best bet — high enough to escape street-level noise, but not so high that you hear roof equipment or have to wait for the lift.
🔊 Noise notes
Uyuni is a small town with honking truck horns, revving 4x4s, and early-morning tour departures. The hotel sits on the main drag, so expect traffic noise from 6am. Also, the lift might be older and clunky, adding mechanical noise.
Insider tips
Ask for a room on the second floor at the back — it's the quietest spot. If you need a good night's sleep before a salt-flat tour, bring earplugs regardless. The hotel might have a heater or hot water bottles available on request given Uyuni's cold nights — ask at check-in.
- 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
