Calama hotellia

Plussat: Great location, helpful reception staff members.

Plussat: The price of the place. Ease of access

Miinukset: Beds were harder

Miinukset: Didn't accept my tourist visa. Have to change it first on the police. Didn't have any problems in other hotels in Chile.

Plussat: Modern and clean, handy for the bus terminal.

Miinukset: Slight hiccup with breakfast - our breakfast should have been included but we inadvertently ended up in the Ibis cafe rather than the Ibis Budget cafe for breakfast - they are right next to each other, but we got charged almost 50% more just for eating breakfast in the wrong place!

Plussat: For the price it was ok

Miinukset: Toilet way to small You need to open the door to wipe your ar*e

Plussat: We only had to stay over night close to the airport and for it was perfect for that! The breakfast was really good! Beds are big!

Plussat: Pool, jacuzzi, bar, breakfast. Fast wi-fi. Welcome drink

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Nice Pool Close to the airport, 6 min by car Good value for money

Miinukset: Safe was broken and did not work

Plussat: Convenient to the airport.

Miinukset: Truly astounding how bad this place is. The food is awful and we both got sick from eating here. No shuttle even though this is an airport hotel. Very poor quality for a very high price. Would not recommend.

Plussat: Close to airport and away from messy old town, while not too far by uber and taxi. Staff are nice.

Miinukset: A bit tired after many years but acceptable particularly in Calama

Plussat: Comfortable beds, really good breakfast.

Miinukset: We booked here mainly for the pool, which turned out to be closed for the afternoon for maintenance.

Plussat: Writing from a virtual position in South Korea, actually in China. We were on our way from Calama to Punta Arenas and had to spend a night in Santiago to make a safe flight connection in the following day. We did not expect too much other than cleanliness and comfort. In these aspects, the hotel is fair.

Miinukset: Nobody on staff in the hotel speaks English, even people at the front desk. This might be normal and typical for a hotel close to the airport -- I do not know, but it would be nice if book.com knows about this and provides a warning for prospective guests.

Plussat: Very friendly staff, good restaurant, nice pool area, a bar with a good selection (including pisco with peppers, coca leaves,...). Rooms are spacious and clean.

Plussat: Everything was excellent

Plussat: Staff was great, ROom was fabulous - clean, great wifi, tv etc. Thanks!

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: We skipped our Santiago stay for Calama and were not disappointed. The staff was very friendly and we had a good time . Nothing to complain.

Miinukset: The room was a little bit small and had no wardrobe to hang our cloth . We had two big luggage and no plan how to store it .

Miinukset: No kettle or coffee in room

Plussat: Reasonable breakfast, welcome drink, comfortable area to hang out outside.

Plussat: The staff was very friendly. The room was nice and spacious. The restaurant was good.

Miinukset: The staff didn‘t speak any English.

Plussat: Great overnight stay! Felt very safe staying there. The breakfast was delicious. The staff were very friendly.

Miinukset: Everything was perfect

Plussat: The hotel seems build for the workers in the nearby industries. But the hotel is extremely well equipped, even with a private kitchen and all the utensils you might need. The facilities are very clean, very friendly staff and a excellent breakfast.

Miinukset: Our apartment H13 had a funny heated floor. Probably some hot water storage underneath, but that is probable only in this one .

Plussat: Spacious. Cleanliness

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The apartment was exactly what we needed: 2 good bedrooms with a bathroom each and a comfortable living room with small kitchen. Welcome drinks were a nice bonus and the breakfast is excellent. We loved it!

Miinukset: Some difficulties with the bathrooms: twice we had no warm water and the toilet of 1 bathroom didn't flush sufficiently. Otherwise we would have rated it 9 or 10.

Plussat: The staff were extremely helpful and let us stay longer in the room when our flight was relayed by several hours.

Miinukset: The bathroom needs renovation.

Miinukset: Staff at the front desk is not honest. We had dinner at the restaurant of the hotel, and charged the meal to the room. Since we are foreign visitors, we were not supposed to pay the local tax. Upon check out, the front desk staff refused to remove the tax, after some argument, only part of the tax was removed. So, overall, the whole experience was not pleasant.

Plussat: Good shower and bed, restaurant

Miinukset: Slow check in and check out

Plussat: Cleanliness and general quality of the room.

Miinukset: There seemed to be only one guy working the restaurant downstairs. It took ages to get the food we ordered and half of the things in the menu were not available. It looked like this poor guy was working both the floor and the kitchen.

Plussat: Free parking

Miinukset: Incredible exceeding burocratic check-in.

Plussat: very clean near from bus station

Miinukset: bit far from city centre

Plussat: The hotel is new or newly renovated which is good and it's also next to a big mall where you can shop and eat some food.

Miinukset: There were only 2 towels. The staff at checkin did not speak english. We got a twin room instead of the double room we booked and after we saw the room they changed it for us.

Plussat: The only good thing about the hotel was decent bed.

Miinukset: When booking this hotel you’d expect at least some standard but oh well: - Towels were not clean and we had to ask for new ones; - shower was not cleaned as you could see water stains there and the shower head was full of scale so water pressure was all over - broken hangers in the room However, the worst was staff’s attitude during breakfast: we came to eat at 7:15 (breakfast time from 6:30) and there was literally nothing: no bread, no yoghurt, no rolls, no ham or cheese, no eggs - totally empty. Staff didn’t care at all - NOTHING got filled up for the next 20 mins! Staff was rude when you started asking them and told everybody to just wait - they were bringing dirty wet plates as the new ones, didn’t clean tables and it was a terrible start of the morning. This hotel is not even close to a proper Ibis one!

Plussat: The pool and the backyard are very nice to relax. The bed is comfortable. The staff is very kind.

Miinukset: The water in the shower was warm and not hot.

Plussat: Small

Miinukset: A bit rundown

Plussat: The breakfast Was quiet gut. Swimming Pool zone was nice.

Miinukset: When we arrived we have became very dirty room. Hairs on the bed, dirty floor and so on. Fortunately there was the Manager in the hotel, who speaks english. She has solved the Problem and gave us another Apartment, much bigger than we actually booked. She has also made a great discount for the dinner. And we became several glasses of wine. The Manager was really professional and helpful and has Managed the uncomfortable Situation. Thank to her efforts and help Our stay Was really good and we had enjoyed it.

Plussat: Really lovely for one night, we didn’t leave the property, so don’t know about location, but it had a lovely pool and gardens and the staff were very helpful.

Plussat: The facilities in the rooms were very fancy and high quality

Miinukset: The wifi only worked near the reception area, which was a bit frustrating.

Plussat: Good standard place for an overnight stay. Great breakfast and friendly staff. Nice hot shower and comfy bed.

Miinukset: check out time was early, 10:00.

Plussat: Bed was clean, there was a hair dryer in the room

Miinukset: When I came to stay alone in this hotel, I expected swimming pool by my room. But I had to work to another building as my room was there and swimming pool and breakfast in another. Not far but not a nice walk you would want to do. Stuff was smiling but otherwise was not helpful. I speak Spanish... they told me that my breakfast would be at 7.30 in my room as I had my taxi at 8.30. Finally I called them at 8 and I was told disculpa en 20 m estará ;)... I had to push a lot so they confirm my taxi.. So do not expect a lot. It was dusty the room and facilities, swimming pool was dirty and spa didn’t work.

Plussat: Aesthetically very nice place with great staff, facilities and breakfast

Miinukset: sometimes a little too noisy at night with street dogs barking, loud music from neighbours and our room located next to a storage shed often accessed by staff and the opening and closing of door could easily be heard

Plussat: Staff very helpful. Good breakfast. Clean rooms.

Miinukset: Air conditioning was a little noisy. Calama is a mixture of rundown and modern streets and buildings. The hotel is walking distance to town center. The short walk passes through some places that are rundown. This will not disturb the seasoned travellers. All and all I recommend this hotel.

Plussat: Situated in the lively part of the city. Good choice of restaurants nearby.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Staff were really nice- comfortable bed

Miinukset: Heating in the room was old and didn’t work properly

Miinukset: The check in took forever. 10 people waiting with one receptionist

Plussat: Central location, good restaurants nearby.

Plussat: Clean, hot shower, secure.

Miinukset: Nothing...it is a hotel for business men for the mining industry.

Plussat: Easy access location, shopping and local handcraft market pretty nearby. Silent and roomy spaces.

Miinukset: Nothing at the moment.

Plussat: Room space

Miinukset: Quite far away

Plussat: Nothing special really, still one of the best places in Calama. Restaurant in he hotel was relatively good, with good choices and tasty food.

Miinukset: Pool was full of sand, no AC in restaurant. Coffee was very bad, almost undrinkable, wine was served at ambient temperature, some 24-25C....

Plussat: Decor, style, comfy beds, delicious dinner. Unexpected gem of the desert. Staff is very hellpul and friendely

Miinukset: WiFi reception was terrible.

Plussat: Everything Staff is great and kind, restaurant and drinks super good. Rooms clean, sunny, quiet and nicely decorated

Miinukset: All good

Plussat: Style of interiors very good, dinner outstanding

Miinukset: Too hot and no air flow in rooms

Plussat: Location near airport was convenient even if slightly isolated. For stopover night it was perfect.

Miinukset: Breakfast was good but somewhat limited

Plussat: Clean and comfortable bed

Miinukset: Mi selection on the dinner was not good.( asado de tira)

Plussat: Good value for money. Better to stay here, close to the airport, than pay overpriced accommodation in San Pedro on your way in/out to/from Atacama.

Miinukset: It is what it is. A bit tacky but perfectly nice and excellent value for money.

Plussat: Communication with hotel via WhatsApp worked well; English is very limited so we both used phones and Google translation! Super interior design

Miinukset: Better signage to find hotel A fan in the bedroom Less expensive drinks
