Great breakfast with a very efficient system for requesting a pack up breakfast if you had to leave early. Lovely staff. Note for future travellers: payment needs to be made in Chilean pesos cash, there is a significant mark up for card payments etc.

Stay at spotless family run hostel

The staff were brilliant! The place is very clean. Great shower pressure. It’s just under a kilometre to town - we did not mind the walk at all albeit part of the road is a dirt road. Breakfast was sufficient. There is a laundry service where they charge based on weight one can use. Snack pack provided if you are not available for breakfast for early morning departures. Free tea and coffee service.

Great relaxing option in San Pedro

Usually very quiet. Nice pool available. Walking distance to grocery stores and downtown Caracoles street where you can find restaurants and tourism operators. I liked going to rooftop and see lots of stars at night

A hidden oasis

A wonderful place to stay. The staff are very friendly and helpful, everything is spotlessly clean, and the pool is beautiful and relaxing. Breakfast was good, and the peaceful atmosphere combined with a very comfortable bed made for a great night’s sleep. Highly recommended.

Spacious rooms

We arrived in San Pedro de Atacama sick and subsequently spent most of our 6 days/5 nights in our room rather than out doing stuff. Thank goodness our room was spacious and hot drinking water available in thermos all day. We also enjoyed the provided breakfast. If we were going to be holed up anywhere recovering there are much worse places to be!

Excellent place, super clean and well organized

The place was super clean and really well organized. The breakfast was great, very complete and tasty. If you have an early tour, they prepare a snack with different things so you can take it with you, which is really convenient. They also have free bikes you can use anytime, which is a nice bonus.

relaxing, well organised, beautiful and perfect location.

We really appreciated the family atmosphere of the hostel. The owner and the staff were very kind and helpful. The hotel was very cleaned, rooms very comfortable and the swimming pool area super cozy. They also offered bikes for free. We enjoyed the location a bit outside of the crowded area but still near the centre. Internet signal was very strong. Breakfast very good and full of options. They also have a very good laundry service.

A very good hostel for location and facilities, with fantastic staff

The property wasn’t far from the centre and the staff were very friendly and went out of their way to make our stay very comfortable. The packed lunch to send us on our way to Bolivia was a very nice touch too.
