Mi Pueblo Samary Hotel Boutique in Sucre

It may be a boutique hotel but it ain’t a 5-star hotel. Good thing, it is moztly centrally located but still quiet at night. Some of the rooms are apparently from colonial times, at one time also having the Brazilian Consulate there, the other rooms are newer but have vintage look about them. The room is spacious but still room only for 1 suitcase with difficulty and no way you can open another suitcase. There are 2 small chairs and a table in the window but no other furniture for sitting, so you have to lie on the bed. The bathroom is very small with a walk in shower but on some days there was no hot water in the shower. For a “5-star” hotel there is no kettle in the room, there is a coffee maker but you have to pay 20 bolivianos for each capsule, on the first nght we did not have drinking water provided in the room. The maid service is less than satisfactory. They did not vacuum the floors or empty the rubbish bin. The building has 3 floors but there is no lift. The breakfast and dining rooms are on the top floor, so you have to walk up at least 2 floors, not easy at an altitude of 2800 metres. You have to get there very early for breakfast as by 8:00 am not much is left. Apart from cooked eggs, to order, there are no hot dishes. Overall the breakfast is fairly ordinary for a claimed 5 star hotel. We asked for a boxed breakfast, 1 vegetarian and the other no ham. The boxes said Queso but one of the sandwich was ham and cheese, disgusting. On Sunday there is no dinner available at the hotel. There is a well designed courtyard garden with a small fountain with sitting areas, surrounded by the rooms. Quite a peaceful place to sit and chat. Overall it is a boutique but not a 5 star hotel.
