Poor service. Wouldnt go back if ever in La Paz ag
The room was extremely noisy day and night. One morning cleanijg staff barged into the room without knocking and almost caught us both naked. Had to ask for toilet paper. Service in the restaurant was awkward and at times even rude.

The girl at the front desk was dismissive and untrustworthy. She is lack of basic hospitality. I understand it’s a popular hostel, and she is busy but lying or not putting efforts is not a good customer services. I booked a private queen room bed, upon check in, she told me no single queen room is available and insisted on giving me a 4 person dorm room with a queen bed. I told her that is not what I booked. She dismissed me and saying it’s still a queen bed and guaranteed that I will be the only person in that room. I went to the room, I found a couple hair on the sheet, I am not sure that it’s even been cleaned. And No I don’t want the extra beds taken up space in my room when I have no need of it and that’s not what I booked. I went back down, I talked to her again and this time she gave me the room that I supposed to get. This was not the only time that she was not truthful… I realized that she said a certain lie so she doesn’t have to help after a few incidents. Also, dont waste your time and money on the massage service, I booked a deep tissue massage, and the girl was sitting on the chair while doing it (usually the masseurs use their body weight to go deep) asked her multiple time to do it harder, but it was just a waste of time. I was disappointed with this hostel services and would never be back or recommend it to anyone. There are other options.

I really loved staying here. My room was well designed, and had a nice place to work. The wifi worked great. I loved the cafeteria food and bakery. The area was quiet but right off the main strip. I would say it's a quick walk to the most touristy area, but with the hills nothing is a quick walk. Also it's right next to a badass feminist cafe!

We stayed at Selina in the middle of the week, so didn't have any issues with the noisy nightclub. Selina's own cafe is definitely overpriced and not worth it, so I'd recommend eating somewhere else. Everything else was great - the location is perfect and our room was very comfy. Perfect value as well

Selina is usually excellent, unfortunately this time I faced some issues: the heater wasn’t working properly, I wasn’t offered another room neither it was fixed. Portable heaters were not available this time. Internet wasn’t working on my room! I’m a digital nomad, and this is very important. Other than that it was confortable and the staff was friendly.

Selina La Paz could have been a decent budget stay, but the constant raves and music in the hotel basement every night made it impossible to sleep, which is generally the most important factor when considering a hotel.

Stayed a couple nights before going to Uyuni. Quite liked it, on the border of Sopocachi, the trendiest area in La Paz, lots of restaurants. Had a private room, staff are nice enough, restaurant I thought was a little pricy, especially beer, 25 which is like 3.80 US or so. High for a hostel.
