Most visitors come to Potosí on a day trip from Sucre or Cochamaba; accommodations here are nothing special and many don't have heat (it gets real cold at night). Hotel Cima Argentum, Av. Villazon 239 (tel. 0102/6229-538; fax 0102/6122-603; www.hca-potosi.com), is situated about 6 blocks from the center of town, but it's worth the walk. Rooms are modern with colorful bedspreads, dark clean carpets, and wood furniture. Hostal Colonial, Calle Hoyos 8 (tel. 0102/6224-809; fax 0102/6227-146; hcolonial_potosi@hotmail.com), is one of the best hotels in Potosí, but don't expect anything extraordinary. It's one of the few places in town with heat. Hostal Cerro Rico Velasco, Calle Ramos 123 (tel. 0102/6223-539), offers modern and clean rooms, though the staff is surly and not very helpful.
