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.

  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!

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.

  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--
Rooms are clean and spacious but lighting is minimal after dark. There are lights but very low wattage. Wifi is excellent.

  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.

  Al volver de Uyuni no quedaban habitaciones libres en el hotel donde pasamos las 3 primeras noches en San Pedro y nos alojamos en el hotel Dunas. La verdad que... read more la relación calidad-precio del establecimiento deja mucho que desear. El hotel está muy bien, las habitaciones son espaciosas y limpias, al igual que el baño, pero pagamos 30€ más la noche (en comparación con el primer hotel donde nos alojamos) y nos pareció que no ofrecía nada mejor que el otro. De lo contrario, está bastante alejado del centro y el desayuno es más bien pobre y se presenta mal. La verdad que no repetiría, en San Pedro hay otras opciones parecidas o mejores a menor precio.

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

Cons: Rooms can get warm in noon
