Geotel Calama ★★★

"The room is clean and tidy. The bed is quite big and comfortable. The location is good as it is very close to airport. Very convenient for people who are taking their flight in the early morning. Recommended."

Park Hotel Calama ★★★

"Very good hotel. Pros: Perfect location, very friendly staff, clean rooms. Cons: Small pool, slow Wi-Fi. Recommended!"

Ibis Budget Calama ★★

"Tiny fixtures, the bathroom is too small, you can't close the door without damaging it if you're sitting down, you hit your head on the handle, a disaster...very poorly designed"

Hotel Modular Express Calama ★★

"Facilities: You can smell the kitchen oily smoke in the evening, but the corridor windows cannot be opened."

Ibis Calama ★★★

"The location should be good, very close to the bus station, about ten minutes walk. There are large supermarkets and shopping malls downstairs. It is estimated to be the largest commercial cluster in the city. The room hygiene and various conditions are standard for an Ibis hotel. It's neither as bad nor as good as some reviews say. Very suitable as a transit hotel. Breakfast was pretty good too."

Hotel Agua del Desierto ★★★

"Overall, it's not bad, but the room lighting is extremely dim, so dim that it's only suitable for sleeping, not for comfortable rest or reading... There are very few power outlets, is it less than a three-star hotel standard? A four-star hotel standard?"

Hotel Diego de Almagro Calama Express ★★★

"With it being 22 degrees Celsius outside, they have the air conditioning centralized and I was roasting in my room. The rooms are so close together that you can hear everything the person in the next room does. The door locks are hard to close, hence the constant slamming. Breakfast: BAD"

Sol del Desierto ★★

Hotel Diego de Almagro Calama ★★★

"Calama is apparently one of the driest places on earth ; it’s certainly very remote and logistics presumably present issues on a recurring basis. It’s only proper therefore to give its hospitality offering a wide berth. This hotel is somewhat dated, certainly ‘tired’. But it does offer a reasonable level of comfort - decent beds, plenty of hot water, air con and a basic swimming pool with sun lounging furniture. Forget in-room tea/coffee making facilities. AND…! Be prepared to bite your tongue when told that no milk is available across the entire hotel should you be attempting to make yourself a cuppa ‘downstairs’. Dinner sounded more hopeful on paper. Nothing earth shattering and certainly not an extensive menu, but the spaghetti bolognaise was able to trigger positive digestive anticipation !! The reality was an array of ‘sandwiches’ only, the common basis around which was a ginormous bap, with hidden amongst it, some onion & tomato and further in, a beef patty. A limply uninspiring salad sat alongside. You’re on steady ground if it’s an accompanying lager you’re looking for and the Chilean Red was good. But don’t even think about anything remotely resembling an Aperol Spritz. Breakfast however ‘surprised’ with an excellent scrambled egg. Service wise, the staff are at best, ‘hit & miss’. The welcome from the longer haired female receptionist at 12.00 was non-existent. She was functional and lacking in any enthusiasm. The later guy on reception was very helpful and was genuinely concerned about me considering a walk into the town ( to source some milk ⚡️😂 ) - ‘it’s not safe’. The waiting staff in the restaurant were inconsistent ; some trying their best, others utterly indifferent. So in summary and accepting language barriers ( my bad ! ), this place does a job, if it’s an ‘in transit’ stopover that you’re looking for."
