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.

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.

  I used bookings.com to book our room for 3 nights. The hotel was kind enough to let us store our bags on the day we checked in and the day... read more we checked out so we could maximize our time to explore. They even had someone at the front desk at 4am so we could check out before our geyser tour! The room has a little backyard area which was nice at night to sit out and drink a beer. I also noticed that we were close to the center of the town but not too close where we could hear the nightlife.

  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.

  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.
