San Pedro de Atacama hotellit lähellä Iglesia de San Pedro

Plussat: Well design boutique hotel. The breakfast restaurant and common area is open, spacious and well-lit. Our room was comfortable and clean. After we checked out of the hotel, they provided a free shower before getting on the plane at 4PM.

Plussat: Everything very clean, reception is capable and helpful, pool nice and refreshing. Breakfast is good. Hotel not too far away from town, but quiet neighborhood

Miinukset: Rooms might need a little more storage space, service staff took very long to clean the room (at least, she did an excellent job)

Plussat: The property was perfect and the staff very friendly. Location was ok, 5-8 minutes from the Main Street in San Pedro de Atacama.

Plussat: Free water/ coffee/ tea available 24 hours.

Miinukset: Breakfast did not start until 7.00 am would have preferred earlier. Complimentary bottled water was provided each day, would have preferred water fountain to refill water bottles to reduce use of single use plastic.

Plussat: The owners were extremely welcoming and caring. Definitely recommend!

Plussat: Good bed

Miinukset: Expensive hotel, small rooms, small window, no view. Noisy doors, 4 rooms in one hall. Cleaning woman was busy next door with music playing loud on telephone. Staff acted politely, breakfast coffee was undrinkable, espresso was complementary, paid, delivered without a smile. Waitress came at our door for a signature for an order of a beer and a wine earlier that day, at 22.45h. That is stupid. We had dinner 3 nights, stayed 4 nights. Had to pay at arrival, paid cash, did not get a receipt, asked for one later, were amazed, we could trust them. Show it then! Hospitality means putting the guest in the first place.

Plussat: The location and lay out. The staff were very helpful and pleasant the room was well cleaned every day.

Miinukset: The room had no mirror, no full length hanging space and was a little noisy when people closed doors or talked in the hallways.

Plussat: Secured building, safe location

Miinukset: A bit of a walk to about anything. Restaurants in particular.

Plussat: Great breakfast and seemingly 24 hours access to the pool, which was perfect in the heat. Friendly and accommodating staff. Slightly quieter area but still 10 minutes walk to the main strip. Good shower, towels and a fan in the room! They also had a kitchen for guests, meaning we could store drinks and food.

Miinukset: There were not many shaded areas outside and in the afternoon heat, it was very warm! The description says there is an outdoor and indoor pool, which is incorrect. They have recently put a roof on the pool meaning it’s rather like a greenhouse and there isn’t any opportunity to sunbathe.

Plussat: Quite and peaceful, friendly and service oriented owners

Miinukset: n/a

Plussat: Great location and helpful staff. Good size room and bathroom. Drinking water provided at reception. Pool and hot tub were lovely.

Miinukset: The hotel and room felt slightly tired. Within the room there were multiple issues: 1. Bathroom door was damaged 2. Shower screen was damaged 3. Ceiling dirty with multiple squashed bugs (on arrival) 4. Loud fridge 5. Could hear other (optionally co-joined rooms) easily which kept us awake. This was not a reflection on the staff as the room was clean at all points.

Plussat: Modern facilities , as well as rustic fitting the region . Rooms are elegant. Beds are comfy. Great shower room. Friendly staff. Delicious breakfast. Easy walk to the centre.

Miinukset: There is no aircon, that makes hot nights difficult.

Plussat: Very good property design and construction, good location, professional and very friendly staff, nice facilities and good room furniture and amnesties.

Miinukset: We like everything

Plussat: Excellent hotel, calm and peaceful, large rooms

Miinukset: Swimming pool area could be better and renovated, the service at the bar is unfriendly

Plussat: Nice hotel located close to San Pedro town. Watching the moon rise over the volcano whilst sipping a Pisco Sour is a memory that will live with me forever....stunning. Spacious rooms with indoor/outdoor showers was great.

Miinukset: Stayed here for 4 nights, first night in a room with the biggest bed I have ever seen, it was fantastic, unfortunately the air con in our room was broken so we had to change rooms. I was assured the room we were moving into was the same but it wasn’t, the bed was smaller, the bathroom door wouldn’t shut, the hairdryer was older and didn’t work as well and it was a long walk to the pool area, first world problems I know, but stil! Pool area is very tired, swimming pools are a bit shabby, the paint is peeling and the pool temperature is freezing, also not enough sun shades and uncomfortable sun loungers. Oh and charging the equivalent of £25 to wash a couple of shirts and a pair of trousers......outrageous

Plussat: Rooms and meals were above the expectation.

Miinukset: Pool area & Spa lack staff & attention

Plussat: coffee in the coffee maker was really good! loved the fresh fruit selection and the freshly squeezed fruit juices, although put them in a better spot bc i almost missed them :)

Miinukset: a little quicker service esp at night time

Plussat: Size of the room, attentiveness of the staff, great breakfast, shuttle to and from the center of town

Plussat: Good acomodation and private tour.

Miinukset: Could be nice to have a better hair driyer.

Plussat: The personal was very helpful, helped me to get transfer reservations and helped me with directions. Wifi was fantastic. Fast and strong. And location was very good.

Miinukset: In shared bathroom, doors was broken, couldnt close, and thr room was very small.

Miinukset: They force you to pay cash with the excuse of a tax of 18% if pay with card, that is not legal because that tax doesn’t apply to foreigner but even if you tell them they will not change it and say “we give you opportunity to do not pay the tax by paying cash”. The room was small and under the roof, so was not possible to stand in it.

Plussat: The facility is well-maintained. I had a small room, which was fine, but there were (more expensive) rooms in the back portion of the premises that were nice. The breakfast is excellent. There are clean bathrooms and sheets. They can help organize tours for you, if needed.

Miinukset: No towels for the budget rooms. I wasn't shown all that was available; I needed to ask about all of that. It's easier when the staff simply gives you a quick tour and gives you reminders. They should remind us that breakfast isn't included and that it should be paid for (with the budget rooms).

Plussat: good kitchen, friendly staff, quite good location, unique atmosphere, hot water

Miinukset: a little cold room

Plussat: Clean ,close to center, felt safe and the staff were great. Also have hot water for the showers which is a privilege in this cold cold desert! Has internet but some areas the signal is not that good.

Miinukset: It is very noisy. The cleaners basically wake you up at 9 weather you want or not as they clean they keep talking on the corridor for 2 hrs minimum without any considerstion for the people trying to get few extra hours of sleep! So if u want to get a sleep later forget about this hostel as u will wake up early or break your sleep weather you like ot or not! And this happened every day! Also the rooms are very very very cold. It is warmer on the corridor and the bathrooms than my room . I basically froze to death and could not sleep I used my trousers and winter jacket and still could not sleep for hours without gloves and hat so really really be aware there is absolutely no heating at all as they advertise is false!! Outside 20 degrees during the day and in the room like less than 10 !

Plussat: This is probably the cleanest hostal I've ever stayed in. Toilets are cleaned a few times a day. Kitchen, available to guests, very clean and tidy. It is very cheap and economical and about 5-10mins walk to the centre of town. The Residencial Restaurant Chiloe is at the intersection of Domingo Atienza and Gustavo le Paige. Walk out the front gate, turn right walk 50m. The restaurant is almost always empty so you get served quickly. The food is excellent and most days I ordered the "menu del dia" CLP6500 which was very tasty and filling. Perfect for a quick meal when I would get back late evening from touring/photography in the calderas.

Miinukset: The listing on booking.com said that onsite parking was available. It isn't. There is a hotel and hostal on the same site. Parking is for hotel guests not hostal guests. If available you can park there. I was only able to park there 1 night out of a 9 night stay. All the other nights, I parked in a public parking area 400m away. There are only two showers for men (and probably two for the women). In the mens, one cubicle has hot water, the other had cold water from both hot and cold water taps. So you have to make sure you get the shower cubicle with hot water. Stairs to the rooms are very steep and narrow. Very difficult to carry a large suitcase more suited to a backpack. There is no heating anywhere so the rooms and everywhere else is very cold. This is all to be expected in such a cheap place. Just make sure you have a sleeping bag and extra warm clothes to wear in winter.

Plussat: All the rest.

Miinukset: No heating. It was too cold during the winter.

Plussat: The Hostel is in a very good spot, super close to the centre and still quiet at night. The rooms are clean and the bed very cozy with enough blankets, cause it does get cold at night there.

Plussat: Location, breakfast and decoration

Miinukset: Workers and cold water for the early shower in the morning

Plussat: The pool and Alvaro the host gives a short guide in downtown to show what are the best restaurants etc to visit

Miinukset: a bit far from downtown

Plussat: It was clean, super friendly and felt incredibly safe

Plussat: The site is beautiful, the rooms are nice, and the pool is a marvel in the desert. Owner was always quickly helpful on WhatsApp. I enjoyed the silence off the noise of central San Pedro. Overall a pleasant stay.

Miinukset: The site is not well maintained. I saw the owner once briefly, and mostly the reception is empty. The staff, if present, is busy with their mobile phones rather than maintaining the site, e.g. basic repairs, cleaning the common area, or fishing insects from the pool. The rooms are dusty, partly due to the desert of course, but also due to lack of awareness. There was trash beneath the mattress, underlining the lack of care. I had to pay in cash, but did not get a receipt.

Plussat: We had a fantastic apartment with a great view, terrace and clear sky view. We loved the friendly staff and the other travelers.

Plussat: A beautiful facility, around 15 minutes walk from the center. Alvaro is a great host, always very helpful in everything his guests might need. The place is beautiful.

Plussat: The host was amazing. Help us a lot knowing the village (did a tour showing us the best restaurants, where can we rent a bike/car with best prices, where can we did a tour, where was the pharmacy and the little hospital), carrying the stuffs from the center to our room. For mistake I selected a twin room, and because I travelled with my girlfriend, the host changed our room to a king size room without let us think about it. He was the first who wanted to me and my girlfriend slept together. I cannot forget to say that the cleaning lady was super nice to us. Their sympathy was perfect.

Miinukset: The location was “hard” because of road’s construction. Our bathroom has no window, so was super cold and windy right there.

Plussat: Nice views from the property. I liked that it wasn't right in town but that means you do have to walk back and forth if you didn't come with a car. Kitchen where you could cook if you wanted. Wifi at the main part of the space.

Miinukset: The place was much more rundown than the pictures appeared. The nice pool area in the photos didn't really exist. People were out there but I couldn't imagine why. The place is about 15 years old and few, if any, updates have been made. Towels had holes in them, bedding didn't feel super clean, all of the benches and sofas had dirty/ripped covers.

Plussat: The location is in a peaceful spot. As you are slightly out of town, the view of the stars at night is lovely.

Miinukset: I’m afraid I don’t recognise the lodge as described on booking.com or many of the reviews. Whilst the location is good, I found a tired and neglected place - the pictures of the pool area must have been taken some time ago. My room was certainly clean, but had tired and holey bed linen, cracked tiles in the shower, cracked window and no functioning plug socket in the bedroom. The lodge is clear that is has no front desk, but gives you a number to contact for any queries. I tried this number several times each day as I needed to flag some issues (no hot water and no functioning socket on the room). Despite texting and calling about 5 times a day I only managed to get through to someone on my last evening. The woman who seems to to be running the site is clearly doing her best, but as she is maintaining the whole site, it was pretty impossible to track her down. When I flagged the problems, she acknowledged them but there was no feedback that they were fixed. There certainly was no wellness centre, no advice on where to go. A board stacked behind the dusty reception advertised tours and snacks which suggests there used to be a bit more customer service. My Spanish is pretty basic but unfortunately with no access to anyone that spoke English/French/German (or even access to any hotel staff at all) I found this a pretty unsatisfying stay. Ropey kitchen. All in all, this felt like rather a basic hostel at hotel prices (worked out at over £155 with taxes per night). I visited other hotels/hostels and would urge you to shop around. SPA is a fantastic place, Lodge Altitud for me unfortunately was not, although I can see that it once might have been.

Plussat: Very nice place ! Beautiful, quiet, amazing landscape! The bed was super comfortable, everything is nice and the best is the Host : A super nice guy who can help you and he provide us with valuable information on the region! We completely recommend!
