    slightly out of town but still within a long walkable distance

    Host replied our request and questions very promptly. Good value for an ensuite room in San pedro.

    The rooms could be better soundproofed as you can sometimes hear people talking in the other rooms. But I think these guests are just being selfish for talking so loud after hours

    Very nice hostel just a 5-10 min walk away from the centre of town. The hotel was very clean and the rooms were comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped so you can prepare food if needs be. The courtyard is also really nice to relax in. The staff were incredibly friendly and the rooms were cleaned every day. There is a nice local restaurant across the road where you can have lunch and a pizza place just down the road so you don't need to go into town if you don't want to.

    Hostal was about a 900m walk from central area which was fine just something to factor in if walking home late and if visiting in colder months like we were (July).

    Warm rooms with a small heater available if needed (didn't use it as room was warm and so many people we met said their hostals were super cold with no heater), warm comfortable bed, hot water and good water pressure in shower. It was nice having a lamp in the room and shelves too. They tidied our room each day and gave us fresh towels. Kitchen was tidy and easy to use. Really yum and cheap restaurant across the road.

    The hostel is a bit further from the center than some other places (still only a 15 min walk). However this definitely means it’s a bit quieter.

    Really lovely stay in San Pedro de Atacama. The staff is super friendly and helpful, and it was quiet. If you have any questions about what to do/what tours to take the staff are very knowledgeable. The facilities were good and the shared kitchen was accessible and well-stocked. Absolutely beautiful town and to all people reading this I hope you enjoy San Pedro de Atacama!

    Super nice staff and place. The hostal is perfect and has everything you need for a stay of some days (we stayed almost a week). I really loved the place, the common areas, the kind and friendly staff, the clean common kitchen. Room was tiny, but really clean. I would recommend this place and would definitely go back. Great for solo/couple travelers!

    Everything was great, it is a 15 minute walk to the centre of town but this was no problem for us and we enjoyed the quiet and safe location.

    Comfortable and clean with a good kitchen and nice outdoor seating options, and good WiFi. Quiet and safe location too with nearby grocery stores. Angelica who runs the hostel is amazing, going above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and have everything you need.

    Very clean, beautiful room. I appreciated the wire shelves for our stuff. Breakfast was great, and I loved that you can also use the kitchen. The staff was extremely kind and helpful. Mattresses were suuuper comfy too! I loved it. Definitely a step up from our normal backpackers hostel without being too fancy or uptight.

    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 🌎
