Liked: The Breakfast on the rooftop-terrace with great mountain-views is the perfect start for an exciting day! The rooms are nice and clean and the hot water in the shower is really hot!

Disliked: Sometimes it was a little difficult to find someone from the staff, only the manager speaks English and he doesn't arrive before 9 am.

Roger Bartlett

08 June 2010 Roger would recommend this property

Liked: We had a wonderful extended stay at Olaza's. Over our two weeks there, we were delighted to come back from day hikes and a few larger treks to the pristine cleanliness and comfort of this hotel. Never in South America have we seen such dedication to keeping a clean building, and the staff was extremely helpful in making our stay comfortable both in the hotel and outside, setting up taxis to whichever location we wished to visit. The owner, Tito, was glad to give advice on the area, and is very knowledgeable on hikes and the mountains in general. Great rooftop terrace with views of the mountains, and a very sizeable book exchange also kept us happy during our downtime and when acclimitizing.
