Altiplánico San Pedro de Atacama

Would stay again! Quality everything except dogs barking near rear rooms. Manager is excellent Food very good Five blocks from main street

I was here for 3 night for the usual desert fun. Given the price ranges of the various hotels in the area, I expected that this might be a very basic hotel, but it was really quite nice! Both the buildings and the grounds are attractive. The bar/restaurant/lounge area is pretty and comfortable; big windows to let in the sun and a timber ceiling. Breakfast was simple but satisfying: eggs, bacon, yogurts, cereals, breads, juices, espresso machine and teas. There was also a very good Chilean wine selection, and a few beers to try. Lunch and dinner were good, though the selection was small. It was a 10 minute walk down a quiet dirt road to the center of town, where there were a ton of restaurants. I felt safe doing this walk by myself in the daytime and the early/late evening. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was big and very warm in the midst of winter, and there was plenty of hot water in the shower.

Fantastic stay in Altiplánico. Love it!

The staff was not very helpful. When I checked in the front desk staff actually ask me if I need to be shown into my room. I thought that was a strange question since it was my first time to be in that hotel. I asked if I can have an early breakfast since I have an early tour the following day. The lady by the desk told me to ask my tour company since it was not book through them. She was very dismissive and would not even listen to my question. Another incident was I was asking for a wake up call and I was told the hotel does offer that service. I asked for restaurant recommendations and I was told to just walk around town and see what restaurant I like. My room was hot and all I had was a small fan to combat the heat. There were ants and spiders in the tub and sink in the bathroom every morning when I wake. The location of the hotel is a 15 minutes walk which may not mean a lot but during the day the heat can be punishing and at night the streets leading to the hotel is not lit at all. The hotel does not offer a shuttle service to their guests. This is the worst hotel I have stayed st during my time in Chile. I think I would have been better off if I stayed in a hostel. Do not book your stay here if you are thinking of visiting San Pedro.

A rustic and charming desert hotel done very well. They prepared a breakfast box for our excursion tour the next day. About a 10 minute walk into town but everyone walks here. The town itself is very touristy but wonderful. A beautiful setting!

An amazing experience, staying in a very interesting, well designed oasis in the middle of the desert. Within walking distance of the centre of town, great to get back to the serenity of the hotel, after a visit to downtown.

Action packed

Nice place, good staff. Bad wifi

Very welcoming. Friendly staff and excellent Wifi in our room which had a lovely patio area to sit in the heat of the day. A short and gentle walk into the main town with all its restaurants and shops. There was a nice touch- tea and coffee available in the lounge all day.

Great choice in San Pedro if the price is right. Standard rooms are quite basic but provide everything needed. Short walk into town and staff are helpful. Breakfast is better than some reviews alude to but coffee is awful and sometimes have to prompt staff to restock the buffet. No iron available but minor issue. Only improvements I would suggest are better loungers by the pool and a bit more insulation, I could hear people in next room and dogs barking all night
