Close to salt flat companies
Since nothing in area is a Westin or Marriott, it is hard to rank comparatively. We were supposed to arrive very late on the train and this location is one block from station. We wanted a bed to sleep in and they delivered. The town itself is filled with trash in the streets and stray dogs, so when the hostel staff stayed up for our arrival at midnight, it was a pleasant occurrence. They have delivered on everything we asked for, except a lack of towels for hot shower in morning and building not heated. Lots of blankets for a warm bed.

Basic accommodation in good location
After a three day tour was a good option with a very hot shower! However the shower curtain did not do much which left the bathroom floor extremely flooded. Some stains on curtain and walls but good value and fine for a night. Staff very nice and let us keep our bags until evening.

The only bad thing is "noisy"
Our room is by the street. The dogs barked most of the night. People lived around my room came back around 11:30pm and shouted, sang songs and turned the music very loud until 2:00 am. I finally went sleeping then woke up by dogs barking. Except noise, everything else is great. Especially its breakfast is excellent, its hot shower made us really relaxed in such a freezing city (Uyuni in July)!

Nice hotel for the price
Don't expect luxury, but it's well located in the center of Uyuni, cheap, clean enough, hot shower and has a good wifi for Uyuni's average. And staff is nice. Would stay here again.

close to town, basic place to stay
Oro blanco was a typical South American Hostel, though a little expensive for what you get but all of Uyuni is expensive. The internet didn't work the whole time we were there, although we were told the whole town had a problem we managed to get decent internet just across the road at a restaurant. Breakfast was fine, typical like all places. Nothing fancy about the place but for a night there really isn't too many problems.

Awesome staff; next to train station
We stayed at Oro Blanco the night before and after our salt flat excursion. Hostal is right next to the train station and you are welcomed to your room with a chocolate and water bottle. Great breakfast with a variety of fruits, breads, eggs, coffee, and tea. Staff was incredible. Jose at the front desk was extremely helpful from booking a taxi, exchanging money, and bringing us tea after our excursion to help with the altitude. Please note that while the staff is great the rooms are nothing to rave about and not everything works consistently (this is more of a reality of life in Uyuni than a reflection of the Hostal). But if you need to spend a night before or after your salt flat tour I would recommend this Hostal just based on the staff.

It's Uyuni, deal with it!
Uyuni is a tourist's hotspot and this makes it more expensive than most Bolivian cities. The city does not have the required infrastructure, therefore, you will pay more for less. This particular hotel is no exception. However, the place is clean, it offers a great breakfast, and the staff is extremely helpful. You can live your luggage in storage there after checkout, at no extra charge. They also let you come back after to use their restroom and wifi, at no cost. Location is ideal. Bedding is comfortable.

a flawed oasis after 3 days of desert
When you book a hostel in a small town next to a desert you can't expect confort, so don't. Don't get me wrong, any hotel below 3 stars is usually beneath my standard, however after 3 days in the desert with barely any 3G signal and hit or miss public shower, having a free WIFI a private shower was certainly welcome. Anyways the cons are WIFI signal was cut after midnight (don't know if that was a normal), water presure was low so the shower was barely warm. Would I recommend this hostel, well at the time of this writimg Hotels.com had only one other choice and it costed about 3 times this price, as much as the most expensive resorts in Bolivia, so there no much choice.
