About Hotel-Museo Yeneka
Part hotel, part junk museum — a courtyard full of collected objects, a Model A in the entrance, and rooms upstairs.
You are in Centro Histórico here, on the side of town that suits some trips and not others. The cathedral, Plaza Constitución, the art museum and the oldest streets in the city. Everything is walkable and the Malecón is three or four blocks downhill. It is a guesthouse, so expect a handful of rooms, an owner or manager on site, and a level of informality that suits some travellers exactly and irritates others. Officially rated 2 stars.

Within walking distance: the Malecón kioskthe cathedral
Distances are straight-line from the mapped position, so road journeys run longer — La Paz is built along a curved bay and the beach road doubles back on itself.
Getting around from here
You can walk to the cathedral, Plaza Constitución, the anthropology museum and the market. The Malecón is a few blocks downhill, which puts the sunset walk and most of the restaurants within reach on foot. You will want a taxi, a ride-hail or a tour for Balandra and Tecolote — about 25 to 30 minutes north.
How it compares
Against the hotels in the same area it trades service for price, and often trades a private bathroom for a conversation with someone who did the whale shark trip yesterday. Nearby alternatives worth pricing include Hotel Catedral La Paz, Casa 1880 — Adults Only, República Pagana — Adults Only. If you want a resort with a spa and a golf course instead, that is CostaBaja.

Questions
About staying here
Where is Hotel-Museo Yeneka?
In Centro Histórico, La Paz, Baja California Sur. The cathedral, Plaza Constitución, the art museum and the oldest streets in the city. Everything is walkable and the Malecón is three or four blocks downhill. The Malecón promenade is 3–10 minutes on foot from here.
Can I walk to the Malecón and downtown?
Yes. Everything central is within a short flat walk.
How do I check prices and availability?
Use the live rates for Hotel-Museo Yeneka and enter your dates. Current prices, the property's own photo gallery and verified guest reviews are all there, and the same search lets you compare it against everything else in the city.
Is it a good base for Balandra and the island trips?
It works, with the caveat that Balandra and Tecolote are 25 to 30 minutes north by road. Espíritu Santo day trips leave from the city marinas and from Playa El Tecolote, and most operators will collect from central hotels.
How far is it from La Paz airport?
11.0 km in a straight line — reckon on 20 to 35 minutes by road depending on traffic through town. There is no airport train or public bus; it is a taxi, a pre-booked transfer or a hire car.
Is there parking?
Downtown and Malecón properties vary — some have a gated lot or valet, others expect you to use street parking, which is free but fills up on weekend evenings. Confirm it on the booking page if you are hiring a car.
