San Pedro de Atacama bed & breakfasts

Cons: Hot water of bathroom is not stable.

Pros: The manager Martin was very friendly and get out of his way to accommodate our wishes. The place has a living room and kitchen we can use in our idle times: very comfortable.

Pros: The common areas were tastefully decorated with indigenous textiles. I appreciated Martin preparing a brown bag "breakfast" four of six mornings I was at the hotel due to very early morning tour pickups.

Cons: Very thin walled construction of rooms. Noise from adjacent room kept me awake until early morning. Long wait for hot water (5 min or more). Lack of attention. No one is regularly available. Failure to answer phones when calling for help lost on dark dirt roads at night. Owner (Natalia) suggested via text that no one had ever had a problem getting lost yet a guest I spoke to had also had a problem and others have noted problems in negative reviews. No heat first night with poor room insulation at 42 degrees F. The excuse was that it was "unusually cold" for fall but the temperature had been forecast. Not offered eggs first day. Brown bag breakfast prepared for very early morning tour pickups (which is typical in San Pedro) was poor consisting of white bread, 1 slice of cheese, 1 slice ham, sugary rice crispy bar and small box of undrinkable "juice." A piece of fruit would have been nice. I never spoke to or saw Natalia. She communicated only by text and only had excuses to offer in response to some of the issues I had. Please read some of the other negative reviews and you will note that others have complained about the same things for at least five years and no improvements have been made. I wish I'd read these before booking. Poor value at $140US/night. Very inconvenient location over 2km roundtrip walk from ANYTHING on dark, poorly marked, twisting roads, some dirt outside of town. Instant coffee. No microwave in the "fully equipped common kitchen" and only tiny toaster oven with manually lit stove (I couldn't figure out how to light the oven). Toilets don't flush human waste (even while putting paper in a trash bin). Twice I had to live with my waste in the toilet overnight until housekeeping showed up to deal with it. No plunger or toilet brush. No one available for any sort of emergency (health, fire, etc). Felt unimportant, unwelcome and dismissed.

Pros: Casa Solcor is a beautiful haven only 15mn walking distance from the city centre of San Pedro de Atacama. It feels like being in an oasis just few steps away from all the cutest streets of the town. We really appreciated all the comfort of the house and the great service provided by Martin. He has been an amazing host and nothing was never too much trouble. He also prepared for us some breakfast boxes to take away for our early departures to visit the region.

Cons: Nothing it was all perfect!

Pros: Beautiful gardens, extremely helpful staff, lovely rooms, friendly dogs, delicious breakfast

Cons: Nothing it was a delightful hotel

Pros: Very quiet and calm location with a pool area. Perfect to relax after a dusty day of bumpy roads in the mountains or the desert. The staff is very helpful (thank you Martin!).

Cons: All was good, nothing to dislike.

Pros: -super sweet staff that provide the breakfast in the morning & clean the rooms (they even held our baby so we could eat) -very clean rooms & common rooms -great location super close to town but far enough away to be quiet and feel special/secluded

Cons: -heaters were inconsistent with being able to work so it got very cold in the room by morning! -power went out on our last day (probably was out in the whole town) but no power or heat or water was a bummer
