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.

  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!

  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.

  Boa localização próxima a calle caracoles e muitos restaurantes. Preço justo e local muito limpo. A equipe é muito solícita e simpática. O café da manhã pode ser servido... read more antes do horário, basta vc avisar a recepção um dia antes.

  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.

  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

  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.

  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.
