Super pleasant stay!

Had a fantastic stay here. The room was spacious, clean and felt new. The kitchen was spotless, had all basic condiments like oil, sugar, salt and coffee. The utensils were new and perfect. Loved the courtyard too.

Good and Comfortable Stay!

I enjoyed my stay at Hostal Atacama Ancestral! It was a 10 min walk to the central plaza. The rooms are spacious and private with hot water! I would highly recommend and very good price for the area.

The hostel is ultra clean and in good repair. The staff that I encountered were polite and helpful. My only complaint relates to noise. Someone next to the hostel started playing very loud music at 4:00 AM. It continued until 5:40 AM, when the police shut it down. Shouldn’t reflect on the hostel itself, but perhaps it is a commentary on the neighborhood in which it is situated.

Atacama Ancestral

Hostal is very well located, far from the crowd and within reasonable walking distance to Main Street called Caracoles. There are two markets nearby for your grocery shopping. Owners provided a key for the room (I booked the double with private bedroom) and that really ease my stay. Room was clean and tidy. Yet this is a hostal doesn’t mean it shall not be well maintained but these may be details for some. Add offers breakfast but there are only tea bags and sugar. However not really needed as I took 5 tours and mostly spent time outside. As you open the hostal main door you get a magnificent view of the volcano

it was clean, and close to center of town. Communication with owner is through WhatsApp. The electricity goes on and off at night, in the area and no generator is installed at the hostal. The price is good for what they offer.

Estadia agradável e anfitrião muito atencioso.

Rodrigo foi muito atencioso desde os dias anteriores à chegada, dando todas as informações necessárias. Porque não estava completamente ocupado, gentilmente nos permitiu um check-in antecipado. Limpeza adequada e cama confortável com cobertas para frio rigoroso, se for preciso. Enquanto estivemos lá, a água esquentou corretamente. Cozinha com todo o necessário para o preparo de refeições. Localização próxima à Rua Caracoles onde está todo o comércio turístico (lojas, refeições e agências de turismo). Quiosques para compras rápidas e urgentes muito próximos da propriedade também. O apartamento é pequeno mas, afinal, quem vai à San Pedro para ficar no hotel??? Atendeu-nos perfeitamente. Recomendado.
