Calama hotellia

Plussat: Very efficient run property. Restaurant on premises

Miinukset: A fan in the room

Plussat: After the dump of San Pedro de Atacama this was a really great stay. Wondering why we paid 200 Euro in SPdA and didn’t shuttle to Atacama with our 4x4 every day from this hotel. Great fish restaurant nearby. If you consider staying in Calama for Atacama this would def be my option. Secure parking, great staff at reception and clean and really comfy beds. I was really surprised. Drive to Atacama is about an hour. Next time I stay here! Thanks:)

Miinukset: Not a Six Senses but much much better than most of the B&Bs and hotels in SPdA.

Plussat: Spacious suites, restaurant open thru out the evening; good healthy bkfasts, safe

Plussat: Room was clean, staff was helpfull, ordered for us a taxi, and the breakfast was great.

Miinukset: There is no aircondition, although nights were cold and opening a window is enough, just don't take the room on a ground flor.

Plussat: We felt safe as it was gated, during the demonstrations, this was a plus

Miinukset: Reception staff were lazy

Plussat: Really good place and safe! Thats pretty important with this riots time. Stuff is helpful also to organize a taxi. Breakfast really nice and its close to big super market.

Miinukset: No airco!

Plussat: Conveniently close to the airport for our first night. No frills, but safe and clean

Plussat: Room itself was clean and spacious. Good bathroom and excellent shower pressure.

Miinukset: Did not find the reception staff particularly helpful. Check in was fine but limited given the language barrier. Very quiet throughout the whole hotel. Felt like the only guests. English speakers keep in mind you will need Spanish when communicating to the restaurant/reception staff.

Plussat: Everything was neat and clean. Good restaurant. Friendly staff.

Miinukset: The building itself doesnt look very good from outside, I guess because of the conditions that Calama has. Just a detail.

Plussat: Good facilities, close to airport

Plussat: 5 min taxi/Uber ride from the airport. Beds were comfortable and the inclusion of a welcome drink and buffet breakfast was excellent.

Miinukset: Wifi did not work during our stay. Buffet dinner in restaurant was a bit overpriced and we were misinformed about the inclusion of drinks in the buffet dinner (only entitled to one drink per person - this includes water).

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: Location was great Staff were friendly Large room Quiet hotel

Plussat: It is a very nice clean hotel. The service was excellent. Friendly and supportive staff. We needed a hotel near the airport, but the location is also fine to explore Calama and it's surroundings.

Miinukset: Well, if I do have to note something worth improving then the lack of some more clear information if where the entrance is. This might be my ignorance also. We arrived by rental car and noticed the very large sign in top of one of the buildings, however it was not clear to us where we were supposed to enter. Some sign art the entrance would have helped. Again, to us a minor detail.

Plussat: We spent one night to catch a flight at 7:45 a.m. on the next morning. The hotel is perfectly located, 5 min taxi drive to the airport but still very quite with a nice pool in the backyard. The room was spacious and clean. The free welcome drink at the bar was a nice surprise. We had dinner in the restaurant which was very good and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: The hotel is a bit outdated and could use a renovation. But this is rather a minor issue.

Plussat: The welcome was very bad. We arrived at 13.45, and the first thing the front desk operator said was 'Check in at 14.00 pm!!' Not even a hello, and her phone was more interesting than our arrival.

Plussat: Room, restaurant, cleaning.

Miinukset: Check it took more time than needed.

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

Miinukset: WiFi reception was terrible.

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: Rooms were very clean and comfortable

Miinukset: Had no hot water, so at 11pm they changed us to another room at the other end of the complex which didn’t have enough towel. It then took another hour for them to finally understand the issue and to provide us with another towel...

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

Plussat: Very close to the airport. Great that it has a restaurant in the hotel. Pool area was also nice. Room was clean

Miinukset: No Fan or AC so very not hot in room. Didn’t leave the hotel in the evening- area didn’t feel super safe but great when in hotel

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: 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

Plussat: Clean and good parking

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

Plussat: Central location, good restaurants nearby.

Plussat: Everything was excellent

Miinukset: Broken elevators, 1 Elevator was broken, the other had no lights had to use own flash light to see the buttons to push to get to upper floors. They did not speak English, that was one of my request. They pointed to the computers when I asked for assistance.

Plussat: friendly staff

Miinukset: very small room, even no place to open the luggage

Plussat: What a beautiful little spot in Calama! I was looking for a comfortable, quiet night’s sleep before catching an early morning flight, and this was the perfect place. Impeccably clean, comfortable and spacious rooms (my bed was like a cloud), and helpful staff made my stay excellent. Less than 10 minutes from the airport, I was able to enjoy the free breakfast and make it to the airport with no rush. The kind reception staff called me a cab that morning that arrived promptly on time. All in all a wonderful night’s stay for an incredible price, the value here is superb. If I ever need to stay in Calama again, I’ll come here - the pool and facilities also looked very nice and relaxing, wish I could have enjoyed them!

Plussat: Very quiet Staff helpful

Miinukset: Nothing, only there one night

Plussat: Very friendly personal, a very large room, a comfortable shower with hot water (and good water pressure) with a good breakfast.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Hotel staff were very polite and kind, they handle my luggage, thanks!

Miinukset: The bath room was not dirty but somewhat stink...

Plussat: Friendly staff in a quiet setting with good service.

Plussat: Exceptional stay on our way from Bolivia to iquique. The staff is very helpful. Good breakfast. Clean bedding. Large bathroom.

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: Room was clean with a large bed comfortable. Possibility to have dinner that is not expensive but just ok in term of quality. Good selection of snacks and drinks in the room for reasonable prices.

Miinukset: Place is good but the overall stay and feeling is just ok. Also you can hear everything from other rooms. Then, breakfast is low quality (even more as compared to all other places we ve stayed in Chile and in this area)

Plussat: Well presented, friendly and helpful staff, very good restaurant, good value

Miinukset: Location in poor neighbourhood

Plussat: Clean, hot shower, secure.

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

Plussat: Good quality hotel. Calama is an interesting town. Not touristy.

Miinukset: Not much.

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: Although expensive (but it is essentially a business hotel) it was a relief to stay somewhere newish, smart and super clean. It had a business centre, small pool and gym (although not very big) and an excellent dining area and full breakfast buffet. Our room was great with decent bathroom.

Miinukset: Location isn't great on the outskirts of town, I guess the people who usually stay there either go back to the airport, eat in the restaurant. or get taxis into town. We walked through the dusty and pretty rundown area to the centre (which is worth seeing and interesting) Probably get a taxi back as it gets quite colourful at night.

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: It met our needs and was appropriate for the price point. You had good coffee, a modest selection of good fruit, and good croissants. The eggs were a bit runny for my wife's tastes. Your staff tried their best even with limited English ability. We got by with my intermediate Spanish. It was predictable like when we have stayed at Ibis in Europe.

Miinukset: Maybe an exact address to put in our GPS would help.

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: Easy parking Clean Good breakfast and dinner

Miinukset: Had to pay the tax, despite having PDI paper because the reason stated on there was “other” rather than “vacation”. We haven’t had a problem elsewhere and felt this was annoying.

Plussat: Credit card payment available

Miinukset: The bathroom was dirty after the last visitor, the water was barely warm in the evening, no towels in the room, wi-fi only works in the lobby. Cannot recommend this hotel.

Plussat: Simply rooms, good breakfast, great price. Own parking - very safe! Hotel focused on people who are working temporarty in Calama (industrial area)

Plussat: Really quite and relaxed

Miinukset: Unable to walk to city center. No restaurants around and the only grocery store was closed.

Plussat: Giant bed that was very comfortable

Miinukset: The lady working at the front told us she would order a taxi for our early flight the next morning and when we got down stairs the next morning there was no taxi and the man working was not helpful so we had to get an Uber instead

Plussat: The bed was quite big and the shower was good.

Miinukset: The room was like being in a box. There was no room to put your luggage and the lighting was very poor. On booking.com we were promised a triple room. This did not happen.

Plussat: Good WiFi. Nice staff. Good location.

Miinukset: The room was superbly tiny, but still ok and had everything needed.

Plussat: The price of the place. Ease of access

Miinukset: Beds were harder

Plussat: The location, cleanness

Miinukset: We paid overcharged room price without any explanation. They can't speak english and We can't check in until we paid overcharged price.

Plussat: The location.

Miinukset: The shower had problems with thw water. The sink was not working properly.

Plussat: Clean Shower amazing

Miinukset: Noise of other inconsiderate guests

Plussat: Just what we needed. Staff were helpful, even though few of them spoke English.

Miinukset: We had a room outside the lift and it was very loud at night. Our neighbours had music on until 4am.
