Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located in the desert, in the center of San Pedro de Atacama, central to the main shopping area. The service provided was excellent, making us feel at home. However, the dining experience could benefit from more diverse options. The facilities were adequate, and overall, it was a good value for money stay.
The hotel is situated in the heart of San Pedro, right on the main street, making it extremely convenient for exploring all the town amenities on foot. The service provided excellent amenities like room service and tours/ticket assistance, making us feel truly at home. However, the dining experience, especially the salmon dish, could be improved. The facilities were well-equipped, but the standing water in the rooms was a slight issue.
The hotel is in the center of San Pedro de Atacama, right on the main street so within walking distance of everything. It's in a good area and offers excellent services that made me feel like home. However, the dining could be improved with more local organic products. The facilities were modern and convenient, overall providing good value for money.
