Nothing to say here

Claudio was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Really felt welcome. Outside area was beautiful to sit in and kitchenette had everything needed and was funky. Heater in room was nice touch to take chill out of room when came home late. Location was great too.

Long-time Travelers like me sometimes need to do a little washing, only by hand. It would be great if there was a small place to hang up one or two pieces. I didn’t ask for that and I am quite sure Rossana and Claudio would find a solution. :-)

Hostal Ayni is a beautiful place to stay in San Pedro. My room was very comfortable, the hostel is very clean and Rossana and Claudio are very welcoming and warmhearted hosts. I stayed all in all five nights and it was no problem storing luggage while I went on a four-days-trip to Uyuni. The terrasse is just great, sunny until early afternoon. Hostal Ayni is located very close to busy Caracoles street and to the bus terminal but still far enough to have peace and quiet. Thanks for having me with you, Rossana y Claudio!

Hostal Ayni is a great place to stay if you ever visit San Pedro de Atacama! My room is spacious and quiet, common spaces are big and bathrooms are clean, hot water/tea/coffee is always available. Plus, Rossana and Claudio are the best hosts!

The owners, the garden and view, the location… everything!

Although the bathrooms are shared, there was barely a moment when it would be occupied. Despite that the hostal doesn't provide breakfast, a fully equipped kitchen is available for the guests.

Extremely kind hosts, amazing views, beautiful terrace and comfortable room. Lovely place to stay in SPA!

Beautiful home, clean and bright rooms, well equipped kitchen and lovely outdoor communal spaces w/views of the volcanoes (great spot to take morning coffee!). Rosana & Claudio are amazing people and put a lot of love into this hostal which is their home. If you want a quiet & beautiful home base for your atacama adventures, stay here!

Hostal Ayni is located very close to the main walking street with shops and restaurants. It has a lovely terrace overlooking the volcanos. My room was comfortable with a small kitchen and hot shower. The hosts were charming.

extremely friendly owners who are always ready to help and answer your questions, they made me feel like I was at home. hostel (room, bathroom and kitchen) is very clean, I had a cute little single room, the terrace has an amazing view to the volcano and is a perfect place to relax for a couple of hours during the siesta.

Fantastic. The double rooms with private bathroom are great as they have a private kitchenette and dining area.

Rooms were very hot.

Location good, quiet. Very clean, relaxing outside seating area.

Really solid place to stay slightly outside the Main Street of town. Claudio the owner was a lovely host and made sure I was comfortable in my stay

The owner and his wife use the space so sometimes it's a bit awkward as you feel you are in their home and they are using the seats with the best view of the volcano. If you're looking for a more private accommodation experience this may not be your hostal.

Room was comfortable, nice to have the skylight and fan as it was an inside room so no other windows. Bathroom was clean with hot water and good water pressure.

Hostal Ayni lived up to expectations. Just what I was hoping for. I stayed in a private room with a shared bathroom. The room was clean, spacious enough to layout my things, had a very powerful tabletop fan (which can be needed some nights), and had a comfortable bed with a very warm comforter for those cold nights. The location of the hostel is an advantage to others because it is easy walking distance to the center of town, which makes it quiet and peaceful away from the noise but not too far either. There is a big open kitchen for use with all the amenities needed, a fridge, stove, and ample seating inside and outside. There is a lot of seating outside and two hammocks to hang out or have meals. This allowed all the guests to not feel crowded around each other. There’s a tienda very close by (a few metres) that comes in handy if you need something quickly (water, snacks, etc.). The hosts were very accommodating to all requests for the 5 days I stayed there. They even allowed me to stay a little longer than checkout time to align with the pick up time for my shuttle to the airport. The bathrooms are cleaned daily so there was always a welcoming bathroom to use after a full day out. It is not your typical hostel feel but more like living in a home, which is good because it attracts more mature guests and keeps the place quiet. I highly recommend this place.

We had a wonderful stay at Hostal Ayni. The rooms are cozy, the terrace has the most beautiful view on the volcanoes and the owners are so nice :). We stayed there for 6 days and felt like a home away from home. Everything was really clean and relaxing in the shade on the terrace after a long tour was great. The main street is just around 5 minutes to walk.

Very friendly and great location!

In front of our room there were sometimes dogs barking at night, but the hosts don’t have any influence on this. Just wear ear plugs if you are sensitive to noises. Was also not every night.

Close to the centre, but a little further from the noise. Very comfortable and cozy! Beautiful view on the volcano from the outside area. The accommodation had everything we needed! Rosanna and Claudio are super kind and do their very best to make you feel at home! Claudio even offers some individual tours for a reasonable price if you are interested. We went to Valle de los Cactus with him - very nice! It’s definitely a plus if you understand/ speak some Spanish for communicating with them ;)

Rossana and Claudio were really nice and it felt like coming home to your parents house. The price quality was excellent and the view at sunrise was awesome.

Stayed in September 2024

Not sure if the hosts speak English but they speak perfect Spanish

The hosts were super kind and caring and very well-informed on things to do around the area. They were also very communicative and helped us get to the location and helped us check-in early

There was only one thing that kinda ruined the experience for me. If you will be prepared in advance it may not bother you. The price for three nights stated to be payed on property was 108$ (99€). When i wanted to pay the owner tried to convince me to pay in cash as it is better for them. I had no cash so i payed in credit card. Owner told me there will be 5% more, i agreed. In the end i payed 125€ which is approximatelly 16% more from the price stated on booking. Again, the owners are both extremely friendly and the place is nice. It is a pitty that they are ruining the vibe and the rating for these 16%.

Mainly the location - close to the center but still far enough from the noise of the city center. The owners are extremely nice and helpfull. They even landed me a jacket for the tour to geiseers.
