Great place to stay, out of the dusty centre!

Comfortable, clean (not easy in dry, dusty San Pedro) and slightly away from the centre of town. Very quiet at night, so slept well. Shared kitchen has everything you need to self cater. And lovely host Cecilia can’t do enough to make your stay a pleasant one. Great value for what you pay.

Perfect stay in San Pedro

Kindness of the owner Cecilia and her son Carlitos which helped me with everything. The bedrooms are very clean and quite over the night. There is a fully equipped kitchen. There is a common yard with outdoor seats with umbrellas.

Absolutely fantastic place!

This is a fantastic place, because it is so quiet and peaceful. It is located slightly outside of the city center, in a residential area, and thus you're outside of the tourist bustle. You shop like a local, you eat like a local, and everyone around you is super nice. And if you want to feel the touristy vibe of the town it is just 15 mins walking distance away and quite a pleasant stroll. The hosts, Cecilia y Carlos, are super friendly, modest and extremely helpful, they try their best to make your stay smooth and pleasant. There are only three rooms in the hostal which makes it very cozy. There's a lot of outside space for sitting and enjoying oneself dedicated to the guests. There is also a fully equipped common kitchen where you can cook if need be. The room is spacious, with comfy beds, good quality bathroom and very clean. A lovely cat guards the compound so be prepared to share some kitty snacks!

Memorable

Best part of the stay were the hosts whom we were on contact with - they were really lovely, helpful and friendly. Friendly cat as well! Easy laundry service available for a price. Considering the surrounding environment (hot/dry summer and dusty) of being in San Pedro, this hostel is acceptably clean and comfortable. Not along the main street so it's very quiet at night

Family run hostal with spacious rooms, full kitchen & good value for money

Good value for money away from the noisy, central part of San Pedro. Friendly owner as part of a family run hostal. Spacious room with fully equipped kitchen available for cooking. 10 mins walk to centre of SP.

Absolutely loved the cozy room, would stay again. Location about 15mins walk out of town, perfect for those with car.

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.

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 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.

Lovely stay in Atacama!

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!

Fantastic stay and wonderful host.

Everything. Cecilia was so welcoming and kind, she's such a great person. The room was absolutely spotless, especially the bathroom. We were also able to park our hire car within the gated property.

Highly recommended to stay there!

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 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.

Very good place to stay

The owner is an angel she tried to help us where she could. The place had a closed carpark, a playhouse and little furry playmates for our daughter. It was always tidy and clean.
