Seven Crown La Paz Centro Histórico
This is a beautiful hotel in a quiet location 3 blocks from the malecón. There are a number of excellent restaurants within 2 blocks. The staff is incredibly helpful and kind. Beds, a/c and hot water were all great. The pool is immaculate and heated. Can’t imagine a better place to stay in La Paz ...

Casa al Mar
Room was clean and air conditioning was excellent The staff was friendly, but recommendations for restaurants were not the best. Lots of stairs in each room so not recommended for people with bad knees. All in all our stay was pleasant.
