Hostal Katari

not much. it was clean

There was no signage. it was very difficult to find. it was deserted. nobody was there and I felt lonely. none of the staff could speak English. they were very nice but they couldn’t give information about the complicated arrangements for activities in the area. I left after one night to go to a more social hostel

A perfect stay in a wonderful little hostel. The staff made me feel welcome and they even made me a mini breakfast to take on my bus. I will definitely be back!

Very excellent breakfast. Large size of the room. Good location. Free and easy parking

not much

staff, location, cleanliness, not soundproof, bad breakfast

This place has some of the best views of the mountains and the stars you will find in the city. The staff (Ani, Francisco, and “Mr. Lascar”) are incredible and assisted with making sure that I accomplished everything I wanted to get done in Atacama. They helped me arrange trips to the lagoons, volcanoes, and stargazing with short notice. The room, bathroom, and kitchen/dining were very warm despite the frigid nights, and the vibe was very chill. the place is in a very convenient location, but it’s much quieter than other places. No loud parties.

I enjoyed 2 nights at this great hostal. The family are very friendly and make you feel at home. My room was clean and comfortable and i enjoyed the added company of the dogs and cats. It was totally quiet at night. However, there is a rooster to help you in the morning lol. This isnt an issue for me. The square is in easy walking distance and there are plenty of restaurants. The included breakfast is very good with a large selection. Motorcycle parking is at your front door 😁

Huge and perfectly clean room, with wonderful patio. This was one of those perfect places that you’re so comfortable in, that you don’t want to go out. While traveling I’m usually not spending to much time at the hotel since I want to see everything that city have to offer. Here was different, I was enjoying spending time in the garden with three dogs and two cats, way more than in the crowded and tourist city. The small common kitchen was great idea since allowed me to make coffee anytime I want. Breakfast was starting every day in a bit different time since we were waiting for a fresh bread to be made, so I’ll remember the smell of fresh morning ciabatta for a long time, The owner and her family were wonderful, always helpful and trying to understand my A1 Spanish questions. Altogether, I would be glad to stay here again if I’m ever back to San Pedro de Atacama.
