Great place to stay if you are visiting Atacama. Very centrally located. The hotel is great with individual cottages for your room. Staff is excellent. Most tours will pick you up from this hotel or the tour company maybe a short walk. The staff is very responsive to WhatsApp messages and we never had any issues. We really enjoyed our stay here and I highly recommend it.

Hotel Desertica is one of the nicest hotels my wife and I have ever stayed in. The location is 10/10, the staff are so friendly and the rooms are unique and luxury. My wife was ill for a day and the staff prepared off-menu chicken soup to make her better and provided local medicinal tea, which really helped. We had to change hotels due to availability but was so unimpressed by the alternative that we returned and spent the rest of our trip at Hotel Desertica. 5* all round!!

We really enjoyed this nice small hotel oasis. The staff was very friendly and we loved our little yurt. I would definitely recommend this to anyone traveling to San Pedro. Parking as they say is very limited.

This hotel is the best! Definitely recommend this stunning oasis in the otherwise dusty and scruffy San Pedro de Atacama. The town is fun, but it's wonderful to have this island of luxury to escape back to. The food was amazing, the staff so friendly and helpful and everything in the hotel is beautiful. Couldn't recommend highly enough!!

Ideal Oasis in San Pedro

Great find! An oasis in San Pedro. If you are planning any group excursions to geysers, salt flats, etc, it’s really convenient to be dropped off at your hotel. Easy walk to the town’s main street amenities. Staff are really kind and thoughtful, rooms are comfy and quiet, and the whole place has a friendly, calm vibe. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Place to Stay in the Desert

We looked at far more expensive, all-inclusive accommodations in San Pedro de Atacama before discovering Hotel Desertica. What a find! They truly had everything you need for a relaxing stay in the desert at a very reasonable price. The staff is friendly and professional, the free breakfast was fresh and abundant, and it was great to unwind at the restaurant at night after a long day exploring this incredible part of the world. This was a late-autumn visit, so we did not swim -- but it was lovely to sit by the pool and soak in the sun for a few hours here and there. They are super-well located, just steps to everything you need. Highly recommend!

Hotel Desertica blends a prime location, a stellar team, and refined rooms. Communication via WhatsApp was prompt and invaluable. They recommended great tour agencies ahead of time and even saved me from a travel disaster. When I left my passport in my room safe, staff orchestrated a courier to drive it over an hour away to the Calama airport, getting it to me 30 mins after I arrived! It cost 90,000 CLP in cash—a bargain to save my trip. Truly heroic service. Situated right on Caracoles, the heart of the old town, it’s an easy stroll to restaurants and tour operators. It feels very secure and peaceful; a solid adobe wall blocks street noise, and a front gate closes at 10 PM (guests get keys). As I was in Room 1 near the front, I occasionally heard voices/suitcases, but earplugs easily fix that. The made-to-order breakfast is excellent, far better than a standard buffet. Rooms are unique, yurt-like spaces kept immaculate by twice-daily housekeeping, with plentiful filtered water provided. Constructive feedback for winter (June) travelers: Rooms have no A/C (just a fan); while fine for June, my winter timing didn't reveal if this becomes an issue in summer. The evening heat can be quirky: it was 16.8°C after a late tour and struggled to reach my set 21°C. Improving shower drainage/tiling and adding a hot tub for chilly winter nights would take this hotel from great to outstanding. Highly recommended!

11 out of 10, amazing stay

Outstanding service. Great location in town on the main street with loads of shops, coffee shops and restaurants. Super clean and absolutely beautiful place. Stunning round rooms tastefully decorated in traditional style using natural local materials. Really nice, high quality bed linen, lovely soft towels and bath robe. High quality toiletries. So many little touches and all little details have been thought of that it makes this place to stand out. Fantastic breakfast with a lot of choices. It is served to you and it is beautifully presented. The hotel has a small car park, which I don't think was mentioned anywhere in the hotel facilities. This was the best hotel we stayed in in Chile and the highlight of our trip! And we did stay in a few 5 star hotels during our 3 weeks trip. I wish I could have stayed longer. I can not recommend it highly enough!

Wonderfully designed property and the rooms were beautiful. Just be aware though, not all premium rooms have a fireplace - the room we were originally given just had two standard radiators instead of a fire. When we complained, we were given a premium room with a fire and much nicer design (suspect it was actually a standard room we were originally given, but website does say some don't have fireplaces)
