From the moment I arrived at the Diego de Almagro Hotel, the atmosphere felt unmistakably desert-like. The colors, the vibe, the arcades, and the traditional roof all suggested the spirit of the Atacama. The property is spacious, and with all rooms at ground level, it avoids that “industrial hotel” impression entirely. There is a large swimming pool at the center, framed by trees typical of northern Chile. My room faced the pool and was very well equipped, even featuring a smart TV. Breakfast offered plenty of variety, including cooked options like empanadas, and it was served in a rustic-style restaurant. The reception team were all very kind. The location of the hotel is also excellent—right in the center of San Pedro de Atacama, ideal for exploring the town on foot.
The only downside was that the WiFi didn’t reach my room, though it worked well in the outdoor areas. In the end, I didn’t mind much, as I enjoyed spending most of my time outside anyway.
Andreas was really nice, helping me with transport and tour suggestions. She has a good personal touch overall. The breakfast was good too - including pastry and fruits.

JJosephineThe lodge is 3km outside of town and thus has a quiet setting away from the dust and traffic of San Pedro. The staff was exceptional. They gave us helpful trips for sightseeing, helped us to order a taxi when we didn’t feel like driving to town, and were always so friendly and accommodating. The breakfast is very good and there is 24h free (and very good) coffee. On top of that, the pool is super refreshing, clean and with plenty of chairs and even a fridge with cold drinks (which you have to pay for of course but the prices are super fair). Bedroom and bathroom was exceptional as well. We loved our stay at Lodge Quelana!
ผผู้เข้าพักHôtel au calme avec de très beaux aménagements extérieurs et intérieurs. La chambre et la salle de bain sont très spacieuses, bien décorées et très bien équipées (avec notamment la climatisation). Chaque chambre a une vue dégagée sur le jardin aménagé et l'isolation phonique est bonne. L'hôtel dispose de 5 piscines (dont une grande), un peu vétustes mais restant très agréables après une journée dans le désert. Le petit déjeuner était très bon. L'emplacement est excentré mais l'hôtel propose un service gratuit de navettes très pratique avec une conductrice très sympathique. Seul bémol : le personnel à la réception a été peu conciliant et accueillant (nous sommes arrivés un peu en avance sur l'heure du check in et avons dû attendre pendant plus d'une heure, l'heure officielle du check in (15h) sans que personne ne nous prévienne de la disponibilité de notre chambre).
ผผู้เข้าพักWe stayed 2 nights from Mar.2~3, 2025. We could spend time relaxing from the fatigue of the Uyuni 2nights 3days' tour because this hotel gave the comfortable and clean bed and the shower with hot water to us.
This hotel has the beautiful garden and the swimming pool. The breakfast is nice for us.
We were very impressed by the staffs and manager who help us to solve the difficult situation. Moreover, one of the staffs was willing to translate from Spanish to our mother language in order to help
ผผู้ใช้ไม่ระบุชื่อHomely lodging. We picked this place for its quietness. It can be a little out of the way, but as we drive it wasnt a problem.shuttle service to town is provided at intervals. Service was sub-par as there were some gaps in what i would consider as being hospitable. There's a small pool and hammock to lounge around, if the weather is right. What light up my day was the dogs/cats staying there. Good place for animal lovers. :)
AAlexander VladimirovichAn excellent accommodation of apartment-type, centrally located to the main street and the fishing harbor with moai. Hosts were super helpful with booking tours and airport transfers. The only drawback was low lateral soundproofing, so don't plan anything noisy (smirk).
