Hotel Dunas is a good functional hotel, no frills, but provides exactly what we needed - hot showers, clean room, good bed, regular breakfast and importantly a good location.
Would... read more recommend as a base for a few days.

  We chose Hotel Dunas based on TA reviews, price and location. It was a good choice at a good price for San Pedro. The rooms are a bit small, but... read more that was not a big issue. More of a problem was that they were fairly dark, some brighter lights would have come in handy. I preferred to sit out on the patio to read, check emails (great WiFi reception) and enjoy the sunshine, as it was pretty cold inside. It didn't matter at night, though, as the very comfortable beds have electric blankets. In summer it would probably be very nice to sit out in your own little courtyard, but the high walls didn't let much sun in when we were there, so the space was a bit wasted.

The bathroom was also quite tiny, but the shower always had hot water, and that's what was most important for us. And it was clean, and soap and shampoo were provided.

Storage space was a bit limited, but for a few days this was okay.

Breakfast was basic but fine, and you could have a cup of tea and a bite to eat even if you had to leave early to go on a tour. There was always someone friendly at reception, though English was a problem. Still, we managed to get our tickets to Calama airport booked. And we also managed to convey that we would like to store our luggage and get our washing done (CLP2000 per kilo) while we went on a Salar de Uyuni tour.

As long as you know what to expect I think Hotel Dunas is a great base for a stay in San Pedro. I'd happily stay here again were I to return to San Pedro, which I hope I'll have a chance to do, as there is a lot more to see than we had time for.

  We only stayed one night but would have stayed a bit longer. Hotel is at 3-5 min of walking from the city center and in a quiet area. We had... read more a little terrace which was a nice little perk to the room. It was overall clean, comfortable beds with a heating mattress padding to keep you warm at night.
The staff was very nice and helpful, although the receptionist didn’t speak English.
We managed to make each other understand one another.

  Accueil agréable dans cet hôtel à quelques encablures de la place principale et de la rue commerçante.
Les chambres sont plutôt agréables et propres. Salle de bains correcte. Petit... read more déjeuner perfectible toutefois.
Le wifi était en cours de réinstallation lors de notre passage. Mais le dernier jour cela semblait fonctionner correctement.

  This is a great little hotel w/in walking distance of main plaza in town. Just far enough away from the noise of downtown area. The rooms were well appointed. No... read more AC however it was cool at night so not a problem. Hotel staff were very friendly.

  Hotel Dunas is a nice quiet little hotel. Nothing fancy but very comfortable and close to the main street with lots of restaurants and tour companies near by. The staff... read more are friendly and helpful.
Although they say the breakfast is from 7.00 to 10.00, if your tour starts at 4.30 there is food on the breakfast bar.

  This is a few hundred meters from the main plaza and street (Carcoles) in San Pedro. Its an old rustic place with clean rooms and friendly staff (though not always... read more English speaking).

Pros: Close to San Pedro center, Clean rooms, Breakfast included

Cons: Rooms can get warm in noon

  Fui con 2 amigas a descansar y este hotel fue una de las mejores cosas, la habitación limpia y muy cómoda, queda súper cerca del centro y tienen custodia por... read more si haces check out y te quedas hasta más tarde en San Pedro. El desayuno chiquitito pero muy completo, tampoco se necesita más. Nos devolvimos a buscar nuestras cosas unas horas antes de que el transfer para el aeropuerto nos pasara a buscar y la recepcionista fue demasiado simpática, nos ofreció juguito y conversamos largo rato... MIL GRACIAS!!!

  Ficamos satisfeitos com nossa estadia os aposentos são melhores que as fotos e os funcionário são muito gentis.
O quarto pareceu limpo, embora não tive confiança se os cobertores estavam... read more limpos.
O chuveiro não era bom, esquentava muito ao ponto de queimar a pele e esfriava a ponto de ficar muito gelado. Não conseguíamos um meio termo. Talvez estivesse estragado.
A iluminacao do quarto tbm não é boa.

Foi feita a troca de toalhas e arrumação do quarto todos os dias.
O café da manhã é muito fraco e a internet não estava boa no período de nossa estadia. Ficamos hospedados 5 dias e ficamos mais de 24 corridas sem acesso a internet, principalmente a noite parecia estar sempre desligada.

  Uma ótima opção para o região, pois fica muito bem localizado e o atendimento é muito bom, além de sempre limpo. É simples e rustico, mas combina demais com a... read more cidade. Não poderia ser diferente e para quem não vai ficar no hotel, somente para banho e dormir é realmente uma ótima opção. A qualidade do sono é muito boa.

  Good places and decent prices seem to be hard to find in San Pedro so I suppose Dunas might be one of the better choices. Our room was spacious and... read more clean, a bit dark though, breakfast was at best ok, but the location is great as it is directly at the edge of the city center making it quiet but also easy to walk everywhere. Also they offer parking which is an added benefit in this town.

  Spent 3 nights at this hotel with my wife met by Yesenia at reception with a lovely warm welcome, taken to our room which was perfect for our needs comfortable... read more bed really good shower we were out and about every day came back to a freshly cleaned room beds made and clean towels .Hotel in a quiet area still only a 10 minuet stroll to town centre , never been to a place like it buzzing lovely atmosphere feels very safe no hard selling was approached many times but a simple no thanks was accepted but they still wished us a good day . Staff at hotel were very helpful didn’t speak very much English (not surprising really as we are in Chile) but one way or another we did manage to communicate surly it’s all part of the fun .I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hotel Dunas we had a great experience

  Petit hôtel dans un style typique du pays. Les chambres sont simples mais propres. Point fort: la situation proche du centre du village. Points faibles: le petit déjeuner assez minimaliste,... read more personne à l'accueil pas souriante et eau chaude capricieuse.
Pour un séjour avec beaucoup d'excursions et finalement peu de temps passé dans les chambres, cet hotel convient bien.

  This hotel is only a 10 minutes stroll from the "main drag" and is in a quieter area of the town. The hotel is a "motel" style and and quit... read more rustic but in its own way really nice. Reception is just thru the front gate and is also where you have your breakfast. Check in was easy and very friendly.
We had Room 4 which was a reasonable size with 2 comfy single beds, A wardrobe, safety box, a table and 2 chairs, there was minimal laying out space. The room had an enclosed rear patio and a front shared verandah with a table and chairs.
There is no TV or A/C or coffee/tea makings. The hotel is quiet at night.
The toilet/shower was fine with free toiletries and a hair dryer. Breakfasts were fine, sort of continental style but you could get eggs cooked any style.

I enjoyed my 3 nights here and would definitely return here.

  O hotel é mais para uma pousada rústica, assim como todo hotel em San Pedro. O staff é muito educado e faz de tudo para lhe agradar. No entanto, algo... read more nos fez falta: o aquecedor. Estar no quarto sem estar debaixo dos cobertores era um sacrifício. Acordar de manhã para ir aos passeios também era um sacrifício.

  I’m posting the following for my friend who stayed at hotel Dunas with me in August:

First of all I loved my stay at Dunas hotel. Nice&quiet location... read more and yet close to all the bustling night life. Nice, clean and tidy rooms. And the front "yard" with benches, were you can sit and enjoy the cooling afternoon. 🙂

But here is why I must write this post: I went for a walk out of the San Pedro city center in the afternoon and managed to get tangeld up in a rather dramatic and unusual way. I was in REAL danger and got myself in BIG trouble. Without knowing any Spanish and with a acute need for help, I could not have had more luck with the staff at the hotel. As soon as they learned about my trouble from my friend who was in the hotel at the time, they immediately went out of their way to help me. The hotel owner sent a car with my friend to find me, argued me out of the situation and helped me in all possible ways. Afterwards they made sure I got all the necessary medical treatment I needed. So friendly, so forthcoming, so warm and so caring! Even a mum could not have done more for her son!

Five star for the facilities and SIX stars for service and kindness!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! More

  Stayed in March 2017 for 5 nights. Booked via their web site which is really top class and very informative.
The hotel is situated one block from the main street... read more which gives access to busy part but also provides much needed privacy - this is a party town.
The rooms/bathroom were spotlessly clean and were serviced every day with fresh towels etc. The room size was more than adequate with an interesting little courtyard attached.
The design/architecture theme of the hotel fits well into the desert environment where San Pedro is located.
The web site also allows you to book day excursions to visit the surrounding attractions which is why you are in San Pedro. We took advantage of this option which to us, was better than shopping around the many tour operators in town. It also gave us confidence that if booked via the hotel - it would happen. We were pleased with the result.
There is no air-conditioning which means it could be hot in summer during the day and cold in winter during the evening but in March it was not needed.
Wifi is free and strength is good quality in the rooms.
Breakfast is basic - eggs, bread,butter and jam - but more than adequate.
Reception was extremely helpful and friendly even though English was very basic.
In summary Dunas Hotel represents good value for money in a very expensive town.
I would recommend this hotel.

  Located centrally. Wifi worked well in room. Room was clean and decorated with local characters. A patio connected with the room. However, the paper-thin wall made my sleep uncomfortable. Breakfast... read more was basic but ok. The staff at the front desk spoke a little bit English. Be advised that you'd better pay foreign cash. If you pay Chile Peso, you would have to pay 19% tax like Chile citizens. It was unreasonable. Chile law granted the foreign tourists living in Chile less than 60 days to exempt from hotel tax regardless of payment currency. And if you pay by credit card, you would pay more 20%. More unreasonable.

  This is a lovely little place with traditionally styled bedrooms. Each room has a table & chairs outside to sit & relax. The hotel is on one of the... read more main streets but far enough up to be quiet. Restaurants are very near as are little mini marts.
Breakfast is continental & very nice. There is a good hairdryer in the bathroom & shampoo & soap. They give you clean towels every day. No one at the hotel speaks English but it’s amazing how you can communicate.
