Frommer's Review
There are not many hotels in Bolivia that give you a choice of seven types of pillows, including "Rock" for those who like something firm to rest their heads on. You'll get that at the Columbus, which used to be the new kid on the block, but like most hotels in La Paz is now in need of a revamp. The rooms are small but the beds are comfortable and decor cheery. The shiny, tiled bathrooms are also small but very clean. All the rooms have large, double-paned windows, which offer nice views. Unfortunately, service here can be nonexistent. The hotel's main disadvantage is its 15-minute walk from the center, but a taxi only costs about Bs8 ($1/50p), and rooms here are much less expensive than similar hotels in the city center.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
