The hotel is located in a great area, and has beautiful surroundings. The property itself is beautiful and has an antique design. Nevertheless, the room was very cool and even tough we had several blankets, it was a very cool staying. Also i would recommend to replace the whole tableware because it seems very old.
Wonderful boutique hotel with excellent staff. Everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out. The front desk staff, Wilson did a great job with smooth check-in and Ricardo the waiter during breakfast was absolutely attentive to our needs in the morning - from setting up our breakfast table to giving us advice about where to find things in the city.
This is a unique property, being an old 'chacra' or 'country house'. Draped in vines and surrounded by trees and gardens, there is a tranquil ambience here. With it being an older property, it's somewhat dated and could do with some new furniture and beds but overall it has real character. The staff are extremely nice, helpful and knowledgable about the area
I always stay at the Hotel Aranjuez when I'm in Cochabamba. Although the hotel, like many in Bolivia, are still suffering from the effects of the pandemic, the hotel itself is a grand property, with beautiful furnishings, lovely gardens and patios, and with a staff that is super-helpful and willing to attend to your needs.
Reminds me of my childhood's, grandmother's house, every summer, in the 1970's. This place bring memories while having perfect Wi-Fi and a 50" LG tv in the room with good movie channels lineup.
Very big hotel, built back in the 50's. Loved the layout, pool, external gardens. I wish I could've stay longer but I was on a business trip. The check-in process was fast and people are at their best disposition to help you out

The staff are very friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed staying in the hotel. The hotel is aging and is in need of updating carpeting and other installations. However, everything worked well. I did had a problem with the WiFi connecting to my laptop in the room, but the connection for my cellphone worked fine. Plenty of hot water! The tub did not drain properly the first two days, but worked fine later. We discovered long hairs on our pillows one day!
Well-located on a quiet street. A relaxing hotel with a number of small, leafy courtyards and gardens, a small swimming pool and pleasant areas for sitting out in the evening. Good as a refuge after a busy day. Very helpful staff. Reception very smooth and we were able to check in about noon. This was our second stay at Aranjuez and we will probably stay there again next time in Cochabamba..
Two small criticisms:
Getting into and out of the tub/shower could be tricky for someone with restricted agility, and the tub is slippery. Staff said that a non-slip mat was available if asked for, but it would be better if one was available in the bathroom.
The breakfast buffet is OK but a bit dull. Coffee ran out.
However the staff on hand were very helpful with scrambled eggs, omelettes, etc.
Overall very good.
Wonderful ambiance and old world charm; lots of pride in the property with flowers and beautiful lounges and nice gardens. Breakfast was average but fine. Super quiet and peaceful. Great staff.
Really lovely property in my case I thought the public areas was a bit nicer than my bedroom , the property oozes Spanish Colonial Mansion charm a couple of outdoor patio areas, some indoor sofa areas, small restaurant where quite a basic breakfast was served. I also had lunch in the same restaurant was the only one , staff was friendly. My room felt slightly out of keeping than with the rest of the hotel as slightly basic but certainly adequate for one night they even provide a little fridge thought I got the impression they had various types of rooms whilst walking to my room than might be nicer
It was amazing great service great location close to the mall ,shopping centers and many restaurants. Also very close to many places for a night out. Staff very friendly always looking to help ,very clean, beautiful interior decor and gardens. Rooms very comfortable and big , they have walk-in closets and big ,well equipped, bathroom. Overall very good place to stay in Bolivia for visiting the city would highly recommend to whoever is interested.
Visiting Cochabamba for a friends wedding and stayed at this colonial palace setting. My main guy Ricardo is a gem. He handled my luggage set up my fan and called taxis for me all with a radiant smile. Talk about customer service. Ricardo payed attention to class! I was very happy with my stay and friend even told me she felt she was in another country and not Cochabamba because of the ambiance this hotel radiates!
Nice rooms, beautiful gardens and nice pool. good restaurant and good internet.

If you don't like to sleep in a hot room, don't go
For $110 per night, there was not even an air conditioner in the room. Hotel staff says it's not required as they have cold weather most of the year. But it was so hot in night that I had to ask for a fan. I asked for a mosquito repellent machine and house keeping sprayed the room with mosquito killer spray. Imagine to sleep in a hot room with smell of this spray.
Been to Cochabamba Many times and I have to say that this hotel is the best In Cochabamba. The Service is A1, the decoration is a Colonial Mansion, classic style, the food variety is not big but the quality is good. I recommend this hotel more than the Gran Hotel Cochabamba because the location in the center of the city and the privacy it offers. President Chavez from Venezuela and Evo Morales from Bolivia had a meeting there once. Is a superb Hotel!
Hotel Aranguez is in a perfect central location in Cochabamba, but on a small side street. Very short walk to the restuarants, shops, The Pando, and a grocery store. Yet, on a small side street so quieter and calmer than hotels on the main streets. Beautiful with lots of places to sit and chat or to read a book, both inside and out on the patio or by the pool. Wonderful helpful and friendly staff!

Extremely attentive and kind staff.
The staff was extremely attentive and kind. I would recommend this hotel.
Friendly and helpful staff, most of whom speak excellent English. The hotel itself is in a beautiful old mansion which has been tastefully renovated. You really feel you are in South America yet there are all the comforts of home. The breakfast spread is very good and if you ask, they will make you eggs at no extra charge. WiFi is excellent through the hotel. Very nice gardens and a small but heated pool. Outstanding value! There are some things to see nearby including a nice park and some museums. A taxi ride to the center of town costs 10-12 Bolivianos (less than $2) and takes about 10 minutes.
We have been mostly backpacking around South America and decided to splash out a little for a nice place to stay for New Year's Eve. At £60 a night this hotel was good value for money. We were also pleasantly surprised by the the value for money of the menu. The pool was warm and clean and the staff were incredibly kind, cheerful and helpful. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend to others.
We stayed 3 nights at the Hotel Aranjuez in Cochabamba. We LOVED IT!!!!!!
It is a clean and quiet hotel on the NE side of town. The hotel is Beautiful!!!! The gardens are amazing!! The hotel staff is very friendly and helped us a lot. We wish we could go back and stay again.

Well located hotel
This a classic older latin american hotel. Unfortunately they have some rather non client friendly policies. I asked for a taxi and them to charge it to the room. They charged double the price of the taxi. As the amount was not high I did not mind, but they also wanted to charge the same amount for my friend. So 4 times the normal value!
There was no warm water in the morning and they had great difficulties charging the credit card. It seems that only one person is allowed to use the printer, so if you are in a hurry and want to print out something it can end up in nobody being able to help you.

Response from Hotel Aranjuez on 3 Sept 2015
It is always a good practice to pay in advance, not at the last minute in a rush... the same with other important requests... front desk is open 24/7, for administrative from 8:00 to 23:00. If you pay direct to the taxi you won't have any extra charge, but they dont accept CC or issue legal receipt.
