Uyuni's most comfortable mid-range base — warm, well-run, and better than the alternatives
Uyuni town is not glamorous — it's a functional gateway town on the Bolivian Altiplano, built for logistics rather than aesthetics. The Jardines de Uyuni is the best mid-range option in town: 20 clean, warm rooms arranged around a heated courtyard garden, hot showers that actually work at 3,660m altitude, and a breakfast worth eating. The owners' tour agency operates out of the hotel and offers some of the most reliably reviewed salt flat tours available from Uyuni.
Clean, simple rooms with private bathroom, electric blanket, and heated towel rail. Not luxurious but genuinely comfortable by Uyuni town standards — the best option in this price range.
Larger rooms with courtyard-facing windows and a small sitting area. Better natural light and more space — worth the small supplement for a longer stay.
A solid Bolivian breakfast included in all rates — eggs, bread, fresh fruit juice, coffee, and coca tea. The coca tea is particularly welcome at altitude. One of the better hotel breakfasts in Uyuni town.
Uyuni at 3,660m is high enough to cause altitude sickness in some visitors. Rest on arrival, drink water, eat light, and avoid alcohol on the first night. Coca tea (free at the hotel) genuinely helps.
Uyuni has ATMs but they are frequently out of cash or out of service. Bring sufficient bolivianos or USD from La Paz for your entire stay including tour tips and personal spending.
Uyuni town at night is cold and windy year-round. The heated courtyard garden at the hotel is the most comfortable evening option in town.
The hotel has WiFi. Mobile signal (Tigo is the best network in Bolivia) works adequately in Uyuni town. On the salt flat and in the Eduardo Avaroa Reserve, there is no mobile signal.
