We arrived Uyuni in early morning, and the hotel allowed us to check-in earlier. The hotel staff were really nice.

Breakfast was the highlight. Really good. Rooms were decent and it seemed to be family run which I appreciate. There were some inconveniences. I had requested a room with a heater. My first room was on the 3rd floor but after asking several times they told me they couldn’t put the heating on in that room. They moved me to the ground floor which had individual heaters. It was kind of late at night and after a long cold trip south of Uyuni. Service was good though and they certainly made every effort to make me comfortable. The issue with the heater was just a minor issue that is outweighed by the effort of the staff and the amazing breakfast.

This is the most stylized hotel in town. Super convenient to the bus terminal no matter you need to go to LaPaz or Chile. You will be amazed with their deco inside. Breakfast is at the level of Hilton. Super helpful front desk and lovely owners, who exchange money for us to buy local bus ticket. Strongly recommend.

Freeze cold, noisy place...
No heating... Uyuni is so cold place. It starts freezing in the late afternoon. The hotel has very bad central heating system. Heating radiators are so small. It is not possible to heat the rooms and hotel building with this central heating system. More than that they are not turning the heating system before 7pm or 8PM and turning it off before 6AM in the morning. Plus, the windows are leaking air in and out to make room more colder. You have to have your breakfast in a freeze place. So. it is freeze every where in the hotel. We used one electric heater in the nights but was not enough also. We could not have shower during 3 nights because of very cold room temperature And we caught a cold in our stay. Another issue is the disco-bar cross the street, Unbelievable high level sound until 3:00AM. So, no way to sleep because of cold and high level sound from the disco...Other then cold room and sound issue the cleaning of the room was not proper. I could not say our room was cleaned properly. Breakfast was good. As a final word, I would not go back to this hotel any more.

2.5 star accommodation in this area is the norm. Very clean, very nice, easy to organize things like laundry and taxi to the airport. The WiFi was very good, which I think is rare in Uyuni.

Excellent hotel at great price!
We stayed at Hostal la Magia after our 3day2night Uyuni tour to the national park. We were really tired and this hotel offered a really nice place for us to get refreshed. Great location just near to the center of town and a few nice pizza restaurants. (good at night when you are so tired after a tour). Great warm showers, tidy room and smooth and quick wifi. Both staffs are extremely kind and helpful. Helped us to print the Amazonas boarding pass after we emailed it to them. Tho its a little too noisy at night and the curtains aren’t thick enough to completely block the daylight. (tho this wasn’t any issue to us given that we were too tired haha). Oh yes, and breakfast is good enough. Overall, very nice for it price and great for a stay.

Hotel does not have central heating, but uses space heaters. Rooms are cold. The bed is layered with 6 heavy blankets. Shower did have hot water. Store across the street blasts loud music including at night. Breakfast has eggs made to order. Very little English skills by any one which was difficult when checking in at night. A couple blocks from all the tour operators and restaurants. Definitely not worth the $85 US for the room I had with a double bed.

Since most people just breeze in to Uyuni on the way to or from a salt flats trip, all that matters is a hot shower and a comfy bed, which this place had. It is however a tad pricey so it is only worth it if you spend an excessive amount of time at the hotel as it is nice. If you're just looking for a place to pass out for a few hours, skip this place e and find something better priced.

Character and value
This property has a lot of character, and is good value for the money. Daytime staff bent over backwards to find the taxi where one of us left our wallet. We stayed here two nights with a salt flats tour in between, so we were able to leave our luggage while on the tour. Nice to return to good heat and hot water.

We stayed at Hostal la Magia for one night after a salt flats tour. Compared to the accomodation on the tour this hostel was great! A nice warm shower was very much appreciated. Despite being exhausted we still found it difficult to sleep as our room was quite warm. Also, it faced the street and the curtains were almost non-existent so the room was very light all night. Other than that we had no complaints. Breakfast was simple but sufficient.

About as good as it gets in Uyuni. A low bar. Nevertheless, Salar de Uyuni is so spectacular that it is worth the trip regardless of accommodations.

Le habría dado un 5 a toda la valoración, ¡pero me dijeron que pagara el agua embotellada al hacer el check out! ¿Expedia decía que el agua embotellada era gratis? Se lo dije pero querían que pagara. Era una pequeña cantidad de dinero y la pagué, pero estoy realmente decepcionado porque me hicieron sentir mal al final del día. Por lo tanto, la calificación es 3.
