Hostal Real Los Andes del Lago

Sun Island

We booked online before we reached Copacabana, and were happy to find it located next to where the bus dropped us off.  However, the hotel was practically empty (one other room was booked), and the beds were not comfortable.  We asked to change our pillows, which did not seem to help.  In order to make the mattress more comfortable, we took the bedspread off and put it under us to try to add cushioning to the hard mattress.  Breakfast was not bad (better than some we've had in Bolivia), and the staff member was nice.  We found the room quiet at night except for the stray dogs which were fighting in the street below us (though the hotel has no way to control that).  There are other hotels in town which offer nicer rooms, so my suggestion would be to keep looking, if you want a good night's sleep.

Just okay...

We had a room overlooking Lake Titicaca.  the rooms are very spacious.  the floors are thing between rooms, but the building is quiet at night.  (unless it is festival in the town)  the staff are so helpful and very nice.  minimal English spoken, but we figured everything out with a translator app. Wifi was in and out depending on how many people were using it

A nice place to stay

It seemed like a fairly nice place; clean and located a short walk to the beach and center of town. The room had a comfortable bed and a great view, with a small balcony.
However, they had advertised in-room wifi, which is something I need, and, as it turns out, the only wifi signal is located in a small area, in the lobby.
I know traveling can be hit & miss, at times, so I figured I would just check out and into someplace that better fit my needs.
The owner/clerk did not want me to leave, and refused to bring my baggage down. I had to wrestle it down myself, from 3 floors up, and with my medical issues. (which I told him about)
He tried to charge me for my entire booking, instead of one night, then attempted a rip-off, on the exchange rates.
His final affront was refusing to give me change, for the money I had given him. Fortunately, only a few Bolivano's, but it's the principle.
It's a shame. It is a very quaint looking place, and seems quite nice, but with those kind of business practices, who needs it?

Less than honest

We stayed here for one night when we arrived from Isla del Sol and wanted to leave for La Paz in the morning. The place was completely empty, we were the only guests. On the door it said: free wifi and 24h hot water. However, when we came back from dinner in the evening the wifi didn't work and when I asked to turn it on they asked: "when do you want it, toninght or tomorrow morning?". Apperently you have to choose. In the morning there was no hot water and when I asked they needed to turn it on which took an hour to heat up. The breakfast was slow (although we already told them the day before we needed to take the bus at 9 and wanted breakfast at 8). In the end we didn't have a chance to shower and missed half our breakfast. The wooden floors are extremely creaky!

Not the greatest place

quiet and nice hostel.  We chose a top floor room which was very quiet,  spacious but wifi was only available in reception area.  Breakfast was good but quite small to feed two people.  Hot water 24/7 and fairly good pressure even in top floor.  Wooden floors creakedbut because we were on top floor the other guests didn't disturb us.
