The room was extremely noisy day and night. One morning cleanijg staff barged into the room without knocking and almost caught us both naked. Had to ask for toilet paper. Service in the restaurant was awkward and at times even rude.

Good place nice room and comfortable. Dinner/lunch food was a bit dodgy with one of us finding undercooked chicken.

The girl at the front desk was dismissive and untrustworthy. She is lack of basic hospitality. I understand it’s a popular hostel, and she is busy but lying or not putting efforts is not a good customer services. I booked a private queen room bed, upon check in, she told me no single queen room is available and insisted on giving me a 4 person dorm room with a queen bed. I told her that is not what I booked. She dismissed me and saying it’s still a queen bed and guaranteed that I will be the only person in that room. I went to the room, I found a couple hair on the sheet, I am not sure that it’s even been cleaned. And No I don’t want the extra beds taken up space in my room when I have no need of it and that’s not what I booked. I went back down, I talked to her again and this time she gave me the room that I supposed to get. This was not the only time that she was not truthful… I realized that she said a certain lie so she doesn’t have to help after a few incidents. Also, dont waste your time and money on the massage service, I booked a deep tissue massage, and the girl was sitting on the chair while doing it (usually the masseurs use their body weight to go deep) asked her multiple time to do it harder, but it was just a waste of time. I was disappointed with this hostel services and would never be back or recommend it to anyone. There are other options.

Wow, this place was amazing! Nice bar by the reception, also serves food. I loved that the beds had curtains so you could have some privacy as well. Staff was really friendly, would definitely recommend staying here!

This was a great place to stay, especially when I had to spend a lot of my day working remotely! The food at the restaurant was delicious, the room was comfortable, and I loved the souvenirs featuring art by local artists.

I really loved staying here. My room was well designed, and had a nice place to work. The wifi worked great. I loved the cafeteria food and bakery. The area was quiet but right off the main strip. I would say it's a quick walk to the most touristy area, but with the hills nothing is a quick walk. Also it's right next to a badass feminist cafe!

We stayed at Selina in the middle of the week, so didn't have any issues with the noisy nightclub. Selina's own cafe is definitely overpriced and not worth it, so I'd recommend eating somewhere else. Everything else was great - the location is perfect and our room was very comfy. Perfect value as well

Stayed for two nights and both nights the club had the music so loud our room was vibrating. Staff was complained to multiple times and they did nothing.so if you don’t like sleeping Selina La Paz is the place for you. Would not recommend

Selina is usually excellent, unfortunately this time I faced some issues: the heater wasn’t working properly, I wasn’t offered another room neither it was fixed. Portable heaters were not available this time. Internet wasn’t working on my room! I’m a digital nomad, and this is very important. Other than that it was confortable and the staff was friendly.

Selina La Paz could have been a decent budget stay, but the constant raves and music in the hotel basement every night made it impossible to sleep, which is generally the most important factor when considering a hotel.

Stayed a couple nights before going to Uyuni. Quite liked it, on the border of Sopocachi, the trendiest area in La Paz, lots of restaurants. Had a private room, staff are nice enough, restaurant I thought was a little pricy, especially beer, 25 which is like 3.80 US or so. High for a hostel.
8.0
Good value for money. A little loud, but to be expected with a hostel, so if you don't mind sleeping with earplugs it's all good.
5.0
Feel at home away from home. Hip, central, comfy boutique hostel with lots of activities and add-ons. Staff are lovely and truly service minded, just one episode less so at the cafeteria.
5.0
Great hostel vibes with hotel comforts. Allowed us early check in which was awesome. Being in Sopacachi, it is close to a lot of restaurants as well as other places to visit, even one of the telefericos are walkable. The front desk folks are super helpful. They also arrange for a lot of tours if you are interested. The cafe down stairs is very good where not only the hostel folks but even locals hang out.

Don't bother stay somewhere else. The food here is beyond a joke. They don't have anything in no pizza no hot wings no chocolate croissants. When I eventually ordered a ceasar salad I was giving a bowl of leaves. Pathetic. The full English on the menu comes out with none of the stuff on the menu missing items. We paid on expedia for the included breakfast and we were given the most basic breakfast in the world. You can't choose nothing on the menu. 3 tiny bits of stale bread. Water and a bit of fruit. Not worth the extra money. They should specify on expedia how basic this breakfast is before letting you purchase it. The staff didn't care when I raised my concerns just turned a blind eye. It takes about a decade to be served in the restaurant too. I have stayed in a few selinas and this is by far the worst. Possibly the worst hotel I have ever been to.

-You have to pay to use a hairdryer.. NEVER had this, even in the cheapest hostels it is for free...
Overall: Ok, but there are better options.

Nice decoration and friendly staff. But at the end of the day it's still a youth hostel, not recommended for a business trip: 1. Street noise AND from the club they have in the basement (why???) working on Fri and Sat, you can here the music on the 6th floor (so I can't imagine the others) 2. Staff is super friendly but unprofessional (they are many but very slow, they forget stuff and are not good at solving problems) 3. Kitchen service is extremely slow, average waiting time for the standard breakfast 30 min

We used Selina as a base for climbing mountains outside La Paz. Stayed there 3 times, and during the trips we had our luggage stored at Selina at no charge.
Very friendly staff at the reception who could remember us every time we came back.
Room was a little small, but OK and a great warm shower which was very much needed every time.
Wifi was fast enough to allow voice use of WhatsApp.
Food service at the cafeteria is somewhat slow.

Perfect private room. Feels like you are staying in a hotel except for no tv in the room. Clean, stylish rooms. We were on the 6th floor so it was very quiet. Hot showers with shampoo etc provided. Great value breakfast! Fast wofi. I stayed with my partner so we weren’t looking for a social aspect so am unable to comment on this perspective. Otherwise a perfect stay :) 10/10

I stayed on 6th floor. It is very noisy as the common area including the kitchen is at 7th floor. Besides of this area, the overall condition of this hotel is good.
5.0
I highly recommend this facility. Look no where else. As someone who has stayed in this hostel 2 separate time and i have extended my stay multiple time i would say this is the perfect place to stay. Some of the things i like about this hostel is stable wifi (was very important for me since i work online), nice lounge areas, the cleanliness and the decor, the staff are also really nice. Most of the people that have come to the hostel when i was there have always extended their stay because of how comfortable and convenient the place is. I will definitely stay here whenever i am in La Paz and plan to stay at the other Selina hostels in other countries as well because of the great experience i have received here.

We stayed in Selina hotel, La Paz, room 104. We have talked to their manager this regarding our stay and raised a couple of issues about the quality of the room and services. But their staff never came back to us. We are disappointed and very unhappy about the room and services we received during the stay. 1. The room we got is completely different from what you advertised on your website. We were promised to get a two-level suite with two double beds. However, we only got a compact room with two twin beds and a bulk bed. We understand that your company does not intent to cheat the customers, but the pictures online are very misleading.2. No blanket and air dryer in the room. We understand that this is not a high-end hotel, but we are really surprised that you can’t provide these essential accommodies. In addition, the staff at the front desk are really rude and not helpful at all. They don’t even try to help us, have no apology and just said “we don’t offer hair dryer and extra blanket”. One of us was sick because it was cold at night and no extra blanket is provided. 3. No housekeeping services. We stayed here for two nights. But no one came to the room to clean up and replace shower towels. Considering the situation we mentioned, we don’t think we get the quality service we paid for during our stay, especially compared with the counterparts nearby. So we request expedia to refund us one night’s room charge. We hope that we can get a solution soon.
