Best Hotels near Mirador Laguna Tuyajto, San Pedro De Atacama

An oasis in the desert. Forget the hustle and bustle of Caracoles street when you enter the spacious plaza of Don Raul. The place is well staffed, the room clean and comfortable, and the staff is very helpful. A shout out to Patricio who was more than accomodating. The pool is brisk and refreshing after a day of sight seeing. Next time we go to Atacama, we are staying here.

A super beautiful small resort where many European and American tourists live. The hotel has complete facilities, rich breakfast, and the small travel agency and restaurant are very good, and you can stay for a day without going out. There is a car to the center of the town every half an hour. At night, looking at the night scene in the yard to see the starry sky is really amazing. The stars in the sky are super beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful starry sky after going to dozens of countries. The most distinctive hotel on this South American trip, highly recommended!

The check in was smooth. I as a non-Chilean didn't need to pay the extra taxes. It's 1.5km from centro, but that's not a big problem. I walked back and forth to centro, and I felt safe even at late night. The room was ok. The bunk bed was sturdy. There were 3 living areas: indoor, roofed outdoor, and rooftop. Rey Lagarto has the typical international hostel vibes and services. The major room for improvement was the wifi, which was slow and unstable. I'm not sure if this was about the geography of Atacama.

Cuando decidimos ir a San Pedro de Atacama, la idea era optar por una estadía acorde al lugar, quizá acostumbrados a la hoteleria clásica. El lugar está a la entrada de San Pedro de Atacama y optamos por éste, principalmente porque había lugares que aunque tenían mejores calificaciones, también asumian que el ruido nocturno empañaba la estadía. Se trata de un hostal cómodo, cercano, sin mayores garantías, adecuado a lo que buscábamos (tranquilidad, silencio, descanso). Pieza completa, baño privado, closet y espacios adecuados. No cuenta con TV, lo cual lo hace más tranquilo y cómodo, especialmente por las noches. Cuenta con una pequeña piscina que sirve para refresc****, además está rodeado de sillones para descansar post almuerzo o para disfrutar de la noche. Atención personalizada de Johnny (dueño) que te ayuda frente a solicitudes que se requiera. Desayuno buffet completo para el tipo de estadía. Wifi impecable, sin intermitencias. Supermercado al frente del hostal. Quedamos muy conformes a lo elegido y lo volveríamos a elegir si hubiese una nueva visita.

The front desk staff are friendly but don’t fully explain the basis of ones stay. We were HB and you either have a choice of their 3 course fixed menu or you can take the wider menu and have a credit against your meal cost, the latter a far better option. We only realised when we took lunch on our third day and were handed the menu we had had for the last two evenings. Housekeeping is excellent, room was always remade well and turned down at night. However this is not a 5* hotel and given we paid effectively $600 per night genuinely overpriced. I would not stay here again but that is both because the value offer is sub par for what it is and there are plenty of other hotels in the area and also because they genuinely do not understand customer service. Also the pool area is tiny with very few beds around it so for the few hours you may have when not on tours you really don’t have anywhere to relax aside from your room. There is a nice outdoor dining seating area but only one table has shade at lunch. They do offer breakfast bags if your tour starts before they do which was good and they also have bikes you can use if you want to explore on wheels. Walkable to the main area of town in 5-10 minutes, location good. Be careful as you cannot pay by US$ debit card (Revolut, Monzo cards not accepted), the T&Cs at the time of booking sent by the hotel stated that ‘at the time of check in a credit card will be requested as a guarantee or another method of payment’ this is not an issue and is standard and I gave a credit card. Also their T&Cs stated ‘the national sales tax (19%) may be charged at check out to citizens of Chile regardless of the length of stay and to foreigners staying in the country for 60 consecutive days or more. To qualify for tax exemption, foreigners must pay for their stay in foreign currency (not in Chilean pesos (CLP) and present a valid passport along with the migration card that they received upon arrival int eh country at check in’. So where does this state that you cannot on check out use a debit card in US$ which is accepted universally across all of Chile, it does not state this anywhere. When checking out and presented with my hotel bill I was asked to pay in US$ ($2436.43) for our 4 night stay. I handed over my debit card and the front desk lady tried to take payment but said that a debit card in US$ would not work! She then told me that I could pay in Chilean pesos. So I converted the US$ to Chilean Pesos in front of her on my debit card (incurring fx charges) and then once I represented the card she then told me that I would now have to add 19%, where in their T&Cs is that stated!! So having been told that the T&Cs were actually incorrect and now having incurred over $50 of foreign exchange charges for no reason, I then paid using a credit card which has its’ standard fx charges. Yet NOI hotel T&Cs are not accurate. I raised a complaint via an email and it took over a week for the hotel to come back and not acce

Lovely guesthouse with friendly staff. Very clean and functional. It’s such a nice surprise when you come in off the street to a lovely compound. Inside is so calm with a nice pool and bistro set outside each room. It’s about a 10-15 min walk to the centre but we didn’t mind. Staff were so friendly and helpful.

The hotel is located in the center of Atacama. Go out and turn right to the main street. The surrounding life is convenient. The hotel has a swimming pool, breakfast is very rich, free parking in the courtyard; the room is clean, the service is meticulous, and the attitude is friendly.
