Hostal Elim: Excellent Hotel in San Pedro

I spent two nights here in the winter of 2012 and was very pleased. The hotel is on a side street a short distance from the center and is surrounded by walls, which makes for a very quiet and secluded setting. San Pedro's climate is dry, but the management has planted and maintained a lot of trees and bushes. My room was relatively small and rustic in style, but nicely furnished and very clean. Outside hammocks and outdoor furniture were scattered about. The reception does not speak much English but was extraordinarily helpful. We got by fine with my few words of Spanish and theirs of English. Breakfast is included but early departures for outdoor outings kept me from sampling it. Highly recommended.

Unique Quality: Very attractive outdoor areas

Hostelling International: Centrally located Hostel in San Pedro de Atacama

Once we arrived in San Pedro de Atacama the first thing we did was look for a room somewhere. We ended up finding this place which had dorm rooms with 3 high bunks (6 people per room) for 6500 pesos per night. This price included breakfast and the beds had sheets provided but a shared bathroom. Like many of the buildings in San Pedro de Atacama the hostel is built of Adobe which keeps the interior cool in summer and warm in winter.

We were comfortable enough in the accommodation and if you are looking for budget accommodation then this is a good option.

Unique Quality: This is the only hostel in San Pedro de Atacama that provides benefits for International Hostelling members.

Tours can be organised by the people at reception but we chose to walk around town and see what the different tour companies had on offer.

Hostal Katarpe: my nice hostel room in san pedro de atacama

First day(nov 23) I follow A VTer advice to stay at Casa Adobe.From it's pic, it looked nice and cosy,they said it's new but I don't know how many years already.A bit long walk from Frontera bus stop along Atienza (about 550 m.)bit far from center.It's quiet but in the heat I prefer a bit closer.The price are so cheap 5000 ps per person but now the bed are in very bad condition,our sleeping position was in curve and slope down on 1 side,woke up with headache.And smell of animal *** around.Now there r many new hostel which r not in any book.You better walk around.At corner of Atienza and Caracoles there r many nice places such as Hostal Katarpe and another one at the opposite are about same price 15000-16000 per room.Residencial chiloe also nice.All in short walking.One thing,if village will have a party they will do it around east side near football field and it will be noisy but don't be worried, it's not everyday.I stayed in Katarpe,warm welcome from nice lady who can speak english,room r so clean with towel and roll.They have room with shared bath(15000)and room with bath.Along the journey I suggested a couple to stay there as well,and they like it.

a simple nameless guesthouse

As soon as you come off the bus women and children will meet you trying to persuade you to see their place. If you haven't something special in mind, or you are in a low budget it's ok to go with them.
In San Pedro you have quite a lot of accommodation choices.
I finally had nothing much of a room with an outside bathroom and hot shower in a nameless guesthouse. But I had a great time in the evenings sitting in the yard facing a very green field and an endless view of the countryside. It was refreshing and quiet, very suitable for our weary bodies. I had long hearty talks with other tenants, looking at the beautiful night sky and exchanging ...our philosophies...
There was also a small kitchen where we could cook something of our own, very convenient especially for breakfast. I am sure you can easily find something like that if you ask around.

Hostal Terracota: Nice friendly hostal

It was lovely to stay at Hostal Terracota. The room had ensuite and was very nice and clean. Breakfast was included and it was quite good for Chilean standards. Jorge and his family were very nice and helpful. When we went to visit El Tatio and had to leave at 4am, Jorge organised breakfast for us. Service available included laundry for a small fee, which was quite handy! Locationwise it was very convenient, as it was a short walk to the main street, but at just enough distance to have a quiet night. There was also a lot of parking, if you are driving. I would definitively recommend this hostal to anyone staying in San Pedro!

Residence Chiloe: Expensive but nice

This hotel has a large courtyard.

On one side are the cheaper twin rooms with shared bathrooms. The hot water supply is erratic and the rooms are cold because they are North facing. There is only a bit of sun for a short
time on the terrace that runs outside them.

On the other side are the more expensive twin rooms with private bathrooms and plenty of hot water. They come with a larger South facing terrace where you can have lunch in the sun.

Unique Quality: Expensive but quiet, a couple minuted walk from the bustle of town.

More expensive rooms in the sun are bliss after 3 days freezing crossing from Bolivia. Forget the cheaper rooms if you are sensitive to cold.

Bar serving hot and cold drinks.

Hostel La Florida: Si, es mi amigo!

If you're under 100, you will love this as the friendly atmosphere will wrap you in.

Unique Quality: This is a very "backpacker" hostel, the best part being the great people that stop by. They are all very friendly, as is the staff. There are rooms with shared bath (clean); hot water (but only for showers); hammocks (incredibly comfortable and relaxing!); Kitchen (i suggest buying groceries and cooking to save on the outrageous restaurant prices); Tennis Table (amazing fuN!); Bike and Sandbard rent (next door, you can bargain with the dude).

Honestly, not the most comfortable as it places 6 to a room and few outlets for recharging. But hey, we met many a nice people to travel and check out the scenery.

hostal florida (I think): Relax, relax, relax

After 10 days of intense travelling through Peru and Bolivia, we stayed in this place.
The hamocs where great. had a warm shower.
The only downside of the place was the fact that a guy with a really anoying laugh worked there.
At one evening they were quite noisy when we tried to sleep.
But all together it was a great place to stay.
