Everything! Very clean and very peaceful. Great location! Our room was huge and spacious with a window looking out onto the city. The host was so accommodating, letting us use the last day to pack our bags and use the faculties, even though we were leaving.

The location is excellent. Less than five minutes on foot from the Witches’ Market. It’s located right at the historic centre. The breakfast was nice and the owner is super courteous. He woke up really early one day in order to open the front door for me (at 5.30 in the morning) and was there waiting for me when I arrived after 11 p.m.
Nothing really.

Nice host who was very helpful exchanging money and booking us a taxi. The room was much nicer than expected, quiet and clean. The beds were very comfortable. Overall, very good value for money and worth a stay.
The location is not perfect as it is a little far away from the witches market but it is walkable and it is also close to the teleferico (walking distance). Generally it is a great property and worth staying in.

Great location, friendly staff, good breakfast, hot shower. A good place to stay a couple of nights.
The bed is small for 2 European-size people. There's no separate shower area in the bathroom so the water goes all over the floor and takes forever to dry, remember to take off socks when entering the toilet.

Rodrigo and his family are incredibly nice! I arrived midnight and Rodrigo waited to show me the room. The blanket is warm enough and the breakfast is delicious (especially their natural orange juice). The bathroom is clean and shower with hot water. The location is very central but quiet as well. I recommend you to stay here.

Room was comfortable, Hot shower and breakfast was fine.

The best place in La Paz! Central location and Rodrigo (the host) is fantastic, so calm and helpful - and we loved our stay here. Would definitely recommend!
The only tiny thing to mention is that the second time we stayed the bed in our room wasn’t as comfy, however, the room was lovely and the first time we stayed the bed was super comfy! We still absolutely loved our time staying!

Comfortable room, hot shower, good breakfast and perfect location. Price quality this is top!
Most importantly, Rodrigo and his family were very welcoming and arranged so much for us (from airport taxis, to Bolivia Hop tours to Titicaca, to proper SIM card registration). This made us feel really comfortable and at ease at Iskanwaya! Would highly recommend! :)

Excellent staff. Especially Rodrigo is an outstanding helper and guider for things I need to know for the city and the hotel. I would strongly recommend this hotel and myself will come again if I travel this area. Again best hotel for the price and best staff I have ever met.

Nothing bad to say about the place!

Rooms where very clean and spacious. It is a family owned place and Rodrigo who runs the place is great and helpful in every way. From tours, to transportation, to laundry he was there to help. I rarely stay in hostals but staying in this one has completely changed my mind. Hostal is also in a great area. Close to alot of meeting spots for tours. Place don't hesitate to stay here

Strategic location, beside flower market and near to witches market.
Thank you Mr Rodrigo (person in charge) - friendly, very helpful in giving advise on trips and help me to book trip to Copacabana & bus to Uyuni. He arranged for my early morning airport pick up, allowed me early check in & late check out with reasonable cost. Rodrigo kindly offered and prepared simple breakfast for me before my early departure for the daytrip (really appreciate it). Good WiFi access and stable.
I booked for 3 nights and ended up extending another 2 more days.
Really enjoyed my stay at Hostal Iskanwaya.
Nothing except for small matter (no room cleaning service during 5 days) maybe i should have requested for it, but I am ok with it since i dont really need it.

host Rodrigo is excellent - welcoming and helpful for everything we wanted to know and do.
very comfy room, bed, hot water
excellent breakfast
location - close to the central tourist zone and the cable car station
the only downside of the excellent location is the street noise. Friday and Saturday night revellers were the worst but also there is an everyday flower market outside which starts setting up from 4am. Nothing to be done about this but just to be aware….

Could not recommend Hostal Iskanwaya any more. The rooms were big and comfy, hot shower and location is really central. Rodrigo the host could not be any more helpful. He helped us to book tours, buses and taxis and made sure everything was ok for us. The breakfast was the best we have had in our stays in South America-Proper coffee, eggs, fresh bread, juice and plenty fresh fruit to take as you please. Thank you for the wonderful stay!
Everything was perfect!
