    Unexpected oasis in san pedro. As other comments has mentioned, run by lovely couple, super helpful and welcoming. 3 rooms with shared kitchen at the end. Parking within gates compound. No curfew. Absolutely loved the cozy room, would stay again. Location about 15mins walk out of town, perfect for those with car.

    Everything! Cecelia and Carlos are amazing hosts and we really felt at home. Super comfortable and superclean accomodation. Hot water en very nice shower and well equiped kitchen too. Very cute garden to relax and free private parking. Not too far from the centre. Definately recommend and would give 10+ rating if possible.

    I would prefer having blankets that can be tucked into a duvet cover.

    It is a lovely place with very friendly owners. First of all, I do not really understand why it is called hostel - every room has its own shower and toilet, and in fact it is rather a very small hotel with access to a nice and neat kitchen (since there are only three rooms, we never even co-used it with anyone, it was to our use all the time). The building is designed in a smart way, so that it is not too hot inside the rooms, and even the absence of A/C was not an issue. It is possible to park a car in the front yard and lock the gate, which makes it very safe place. Normally I am very picky and never stay in hostels, but it is a nice exception.

    The host was extremely friendly and made sure we have everything we need. They also had private secured parking free of charge. They offer same day laundry service. Basic accommodation however extremely clean and has everything needed. The best value for money that you can get.

    The hot water system has periods where it doesn't deliver much hot water, so it can take some time to adjust, but other than that there are no complaints - the place is clean, friendly, and value for money.

    Really well kept family run operation. The real star of this place is Cecilia, the owner. When you stay here she honestly treats you like family and makes sure you're looked after. The place has a shared kitchen that has all implements you need when you need to make a meal as eating out every day in San Pedro de Atacama can be costly. The internet uses Starlink and is incredibly reliable, which is helpful if you need to get in touch with family or need a reliable connection to make travel arrangements.

    The area is not in the touristy bit of san pedro, but this means there are very reasonable and good restaurants nearby where the locals eat and you can walk into the main town in 10 mins if you wanted to.

    Hostel consists of three units, each with own outside seating, as well as communal seating area and kitchen. Elderly couple who run it were lovely and kindly arranged taxi/laundry etc. We booked a triple room for a couple. The room had two bunks beds and a queen and could of easily accommodated four persons.

    The owners were very helpful and polite, we could park our car in the gated courtyard, and the hostel has lovely outdoor spaces to sit in the sunshine and relax. The rooms are a good size, and laundry on site is a bonus too.

    Super great hosts (Cecilia and Pedro). Always so attentive to my needs and also waited up for me to arrive back at the hotel several times during my stay to make sure I was safe. I felt at home with access to the common kitchen which included everything and could ask Cecilia any questions and she had all answers! The room is very very clean which is unusual in LATAM. It included all amenities (towels, toiletries, hair dryer). The room is also insulated so it does not get so cold at night/early morning. Location is ~10 minutes from the Main Street by walk which is nice because it’s quiet and peaceful, also less dusty than the main centre. I would stay here again!

    that we had to leave 🥲

    Cecilia is very warm and hospitable. Room is very comfortable, spacious and clean. Well equipped kitchen - everything available to prepare meal (beware of cat 😄) . Convenient patio is a good place to chill and stargaze. Also it’s possible to park a car on property. Relatively close to centre (15 mins on foot). It’s worth mentioning that Cecilia and her son organized the return of our phone (to Poland) which we left there. We are really thankful for their effort and honesty. 🫶

    The WiFi speed was a bit slow.

    The apartment was very clean, the kitchen was well equipped, the host was super nice and helpful, gave us a map of town and marked some points of interest, as well as guided us on how to get a local Sim card. The outside relax zone was comfortable and a welcome addition, as were the 2 cats that wandered nearby. The room was comfortable and more than enough for 2 people.
