Cagnapa Hostal is a clean, feels like family-run establishment in an unbeatable location near Uyuni’s main tour agencies. Communication is highly responsive, and the dual-key system allows for easy, independent access.
Key Observations:
* Room Selection: AC (used for heating) is not available in all rooms. To ensure a warm stay in Uyuni’s cold climate, specifically request an AC-equipped room in advance.
* Accessibility: There is no porter service; ground-floor rooms are preferable for heavy luggage, while upstairs rooms typically house the AC units.
* Sleep Quality: Mattresses are firm, but the multi-layered bedding is excellent for thermal regulation.
* Amenities: Basic "no-frills" setup. Bring your own shampoo/toiletries, as only hand soap is provided. Bathroom floors are notably cold.
* Facilities: A simple breakfast is available for a fee if pre-ordered.
Verdict: A reliable, high-value base for Salt Flat tours, prioritizing cleanliness and central access over luxury.
The room is clean and calm, and good access from center of the city. Shower temperature and pressure were not good, but we are satisfied with almost everything!
