    All was good!

    The hostel staff were wonderfully friendly and the rooms beautifully clean with a daily room cleaning service and fresh towels. There is a delightful outdoor area which provides much needed shade as well as a place to relax. The hostel is a short walk into the centre of San Pedro.

    Rooms were quite small and very warm due to lack of air conditioning.

    Staff were extremely kind, especially Angelica. There was complimentary cereal, tea and coffee for breakfast. Daily cleaning of the rooms, and a great courtyard space for relaxing in the evenings.

    Maybe some wardrobe with hangers would be useful. We had a triple room used by 2 people and it would be quite small for 3 people.

    Excellent value for money. Use of kitchen and free coffee/tea/water was highly appreciated. Staff available via Whatsapp and helpful. Quiet area. Would certainly recommend it.

    We loved that it was a clean and quiet oasis, 10 minute walk to town,..Our room was serviced daily..Breakfast at a time that was suitable around our tours, rest etc.. The kitchen was open all day to make tea, fill up on drinking water and use the fridge.. The staff were very hospitable, friendly and welcoming.. You could acess local food, fruit,vegetables, fresh cheese all within 2minute walk from the hostal.. We thoroughly recommend this place to fellow travellers.. Jodi & David Australia 🌎

    The shower was super sensitive to temperature.A slight move of the tap and it went freezing or super hot. I actually scalded myself as it was so hot. Angelica said she would turn down the heat on the thermostat to prevent further accidents.

    Location was quiet. The host Angelica was lovely and couldn't be more helpful and made us a leaving breakfast.

    Staying in this hotel was a delightful experience. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, making us feel truly welcome. Breakfast was nothing short of miraculous, with a wide variety of delicious options to start the day. The hotel's spacious yard provided a tranquil setting to relax and enjoy the stunning surroundings. Our room was both comfortable and impeccably clean, offering all the amenities we needed for a pleasant stay. Overall, this hotel exceeded our expectations in every way, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting San Pedro de Atacama.

    The acoustics is not the best, but it was bearable and very disturbing.

    The hostess was very-very nice and helpful! We had early tours so we got our breakfast packed. The place just gave good impression.

    Our room was right in front of reception and didn't feel very private, the window faced into the main corridor and not outside so not no natural light in the room. Unfortunately they cannot charge your credit/debit card in dollars so unless you have cash in dollars you will have to pay the 19% tax. Finally one of the beds in the twin room had a plastic cover on the matress which was uncomfortable to sleep on, not sure why they did this the other bed was good.

    Excellent staff! Proactive, responsive and kind. Very clean, great shower. Prepared a nice lunch bag for us as we left before breakfast.

    - The only thing would be that hot shower is limited, but that is not different from other Hostals in Atacama and have not impacted our trip. - Coffee maker, toaster, etc, are not available at the bedroom but at kitchens common area.

    AMAZING experience. - The kingsize bed and high quality sheets were one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in. - We’ve rented the Superior Bedroom, lots of space. - The flexibility to leave the luggage on a safe place (without any extra cost) when we were going to the Bolivia trip. - Fresh eggs in the morning. - The kindness and availability of Ana

    Everything. The place is lovely, simple, tidy and clean. The courtyard is so nice to go back to and relax after long days’ excursions. But the best is Angelica, the owner, and her staff. They make you feel at home, so looked after, always smiling and having a chat. It was lovely to stay, and sad to leave.

    Neat hotel in SPA

    The location is a little bit off beat from the center. The room we had was directly next to the reception which was not great. The water pressure and warm water is not there during the daytime. The assumption is that you're not at home. But if you are - you may have a cold low-pressure shower.

    The staff was very kind. The hotel has all the necessary amenities as well as 24/7 access to the kitchen which is handy in SPA. The lounge areas were also a nice treat.

    The owner is very hospitable and can give you very useful information on the city and its surroundings. A little away from the centre, a 10 minutes walk, it's then very quiet. It offers free parking, which was essential to us. Absolutely recommended!
