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

  O hotel é simples, mas extremamente limpo e com ótima localização! As funcionárias são super educadas e atenciosas! Há um café da manhã com uma boa variedade e quando é... read more necessário sair antes do horário do café é fornecido um lanche para a viagem. Recomendo para quem não quer gastar tanto, mas também não quer passar perrengue.

  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.

  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!!!

  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.

  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.

  C'est un hotel dans le style typique de San Pedro.
Les chambres sont propres et il y a des matelas chauffants...ce qui en hivers est un" plus"!
