Thanks to Hotel Cortez team, pleasant stay!
Pros:

Can’t say bad word about experience. Clean room, atmosphere, pool, coworking zone. Strongest point though - staff, they were on top of their tasks, regularly checking on us and helping to have best experience

Buena atención, pésima información.
Pros:

La atención de la gente

Cons:

Que no dijeron en ningun lugar que necesitaba PIN para mi tarjeta de crédito y que en Bolivia eso es ley. Me lleve una gran sorpresa cuando hice mi check out a las 2 de LA MADRUGADA! que pasaba si no tenia plata en cash para pagar???? ahora tengo que resolver como hago que la empresa me devuelva mi plata. Eso es un error garrafal considerando que estamos en otro pais y esa ley no la tenemos, no tengo un PIN para mi tarjeta de credito.

Business Trip
Pros:

I had an absolutely fantastic stay at this hotel and can highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, quality, and great service.

From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel genuinely welcome. Check-in was smooth and efficient, and every team member I interacted with was friendly, professional, and always ready to help.

The room was spotless, spacious, and very well maintained. The bed was extremely comfortable, and I appreciated the attention to detail — from the amenities provided to the overall design and cleanliness. It really felt like a place where you can fully relax.

The location is perfect, making it easy to explore the surrounding area while still enjoying a quiet and peaceful environment. Breakfast was another highlight: a great variety of fresh, high-quality options that catered to different tastes.

What stood out the most was the consistency — everything just worked, and you could tell that the hotel takes pride in delivering a high standard across the board.

Overall, this was an outstanding experience, and I would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

Nice hotel but not sure how has it got 5-star rating
Pros:

The hotel has very nice decorations

Cons:

Not sure it's a 5 star hotel. Not even an electric kettle in the room. No smart TV with YouTube either. (an apartment in the city with 1/3 of its price tag has a kettle in the kitchenette and a smart TV).
