Set in a rustic-style house only a 10-minute walk from San Pedro Church, Hostal Mamatierra offers rooms with free Wi-Fi in San Pedro de Atacama. Breakfast is provided and common kitchen facilities are featured.

A buffet breakfast is served daily. Guests can prepare their meals in the common kitchen facilities. The cheapest market in town is next door. Everything was great! Staff, especially Connie, were kind and helpful. It was very clean. My room was comfortable. The common area was good and there were lots of options for places to sit. Breakfast was very good including made to order eggs or pancakes plus a take away bag if you were going on a trip. Location was a short walk from the main area but I liked that.

Located in San Pedro de Atacama and with Piedra del Coyote reachable within 8 km, Hostal Ckamai provides a tour desk, rooms, a garden, free WiFi and a terrace. The property is around 27 km from Termas de Puritama, 1.1 km from San Pedro Church and 2.7 km from Pukará de Quitor. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage for guests.

Moon Valley is 14 km from the hostel, while Puritama Hotsprings is 29 km away. El Loa Airport is 93 km from the property. It is a lovely place with very friendly owners. First of all, I do not really understand why it is called hostel - every room has its own shower and toilet, and in fact it is rather a very small hotel with access to a nice and neat kitchen (since there are only three rooms, we never even co-used it with anyone, it was to our use all the time). The building is designed in a smart way, so that it is not too hot inside the rooms, and even the absence of A/C was not an issue. It is possible to park a car in the front yard and lock the gate, which makes it very safe place. Normally I am very picky and never stay in hostels, but it is a nice exception.
