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.

  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

  Nous sommes restés 4 nuits dans cet hôtel avec salle de bain privative. Mis à part le prix un peu élevé ($280000 pesos, d'ailleurs mieux vaut payer en liquide si... read more vous ne souhaitez pas payer la taxe de 19%), la chambre était très propre, spacieuse, nettoyée tous les jours et le petit déjeuner était correct!
Comme partout à Atacama, si vous ne parlez pas espagnol c'est un peu problématique 🙂 le personnel parle difficilement anglais donc c'est un peu compliqué pour vous faire comprendre mais ils étaient sympas !
L'hôtel est situé en plein milieu de la petite ville un peu à l'écart des bars et restos (donc parfait si vous souhaitez être un peu au calme !).
On recommande cet hôtel a tous les backpackers s'arrêtant ici!

  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.

  A nice clean and comfortable hotel a few streets back from the centre of town but as the town is small walking everywhere was very easy. The room was a... read more good size but a bit cold initially until we let the sun's warmth in. It has very thick walls which will keep it cool in summer & I assume, warm in winter but you would need a heater. The staff were friendly and provided an adequate breakfast.

  Friendly staff, but very little English spoken---thank goodness for cell phone translations. This quaint motel is close to town (about 4-7 minutes walk). Easy to find for the tour companies.... read more Clean rooms, breakfast included --bread, yogurt, instant coffee, tea--
