This is a beautiful and clean hotel to spend the night. I don't know about the cost of stay, because it was a tour package. Most things were made of salt, the rooms were clean. There was heat 24 hours, hot water was really hot. The lighting is amazing, and a lot of effort has been made to make use... More

We decided to treat ourselves a bit by staying here after a 3 day tour of the salt flats. The hotel is beautiful, most things made out of salt but you don´t feel like you´re getting covered in the stuff just being there :) We arrived at about 7.30pm after a very cold tour in freak weather of snow(!) and...

This is a beautiful upmarket hotel just outside the village. There are lots of different areas to sit with log fires and also a room with a snooker table. Our room was nicely furnished. However we had the buffet meal and the food was nearly cold. A couple of people in our group had upset stomachs including my husband which... More

Could not have been... More

No one knew where it was. I spent an hour or so with the taxi driver trying to find it. The setting is fantastic, the theme is just carried throughout the building and it is just wonderful. The staff were very helpful. Unless you hired a guide you were left to your own transport arrangements

This was the highlight of our 3 day/2 night tour. I only wish we could have stayed here a second night to enjoy the hotel itself. The staff and service was excellent. They had a game room of darts, pool and some golf clubs that i can only assume is for hitting balls out on the salt flats. At night... More

You have arrived in rural Bolivia and are staying in a hotel made of salt on the edge of the Salar, so European/USA '5 star' it isn't but that's all part of of the experience and we have to say that the Palacio did not disappoint. We stayed overnight in the midst of winter but found our comfortable room had... More

Some in Uyuni consider the Palacio de Sal a dream, others a folly, but to all it is unique. True to its description, the walls, ceilings, floors, and even some of the furniture (thankfully not the beds) is made of salt. It is beautiful and surreal. However, most of the hotel is currently under indefinite repairs and many of its... More

It is amazing. The entire hotel is made of salt. When I was there the hotel was empty, only me, my wife, and the people in charge of the hotel, kinda scary. So light the chimney and drinked some wine warming in front of the fire. We weren't able to play golf because we were there on the rain season,... More
