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.

  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.

  Cold winter nights beaten by warm bed and mattresses. We stayed the whole stay in San Pedro de Atacma here. No fault to point towards anyone or anything. Staffs speak... read more English, but! hey, we speak zero Spanish. Our boy picked up some Spanish from staffs here

  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!

  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

  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.
