Casa Sirius

Good value option. The guy who runs the hostal clearly loves his work. He couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful to me. I couldn’t have been made to feel more welcome.

I had a wonderful experience at this hostel. The room was always clean and well-maintained throughout my visit, which I really appreciated. Beyond the facilities, the host was incredibly welcoming. They went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed and truly made the stay better with their hospitality.

The entire hotel was very clean and tidy. The hostess was extremely helpful and kind, truly great. Helped us plan out our visit with great insight. Breakfast was also great.

Tote the host and hotel owner went out of his way to make ours a pleasant and fun stay at the hotel.

Tote and Daisy are so charming and friendly. Very clean, very helpful, and great place to stay

Family room was a good size. Comfy beds and good bathroom. Breakfast nice. Our host Tote was very friendly and offered excellent travel advice, even coming up with a 3 day itenary for us. We hired a car from Calama and found travelling around easy, without having to book tours and enjoy the Atacama at our pace.

Tote, the owner, is amazing. He helped organize everything for me, from day trips, night trips, rides to town, to transportation back to the airport. The bed was just fine, the breakfast was just what I needed to get the day going.

Very nice owners/staff. The room was comfortable and clean.

The manager was very nice and helpful. I selected tours from the list and he did all the arrangements. Breakfasts were big enough to keep me alive for almost all day...

Very nice cute little place in San Pedro. The owner is one of the nicest hosts I've had.

The rooms are clean and the management are very hospitable. They made you stay very relax and feels like home.

Nice no frills place, 20 minute walk to downtown, owner spoke English and was very helpful

Very friendly and helpful hosts. Helped with local trip reservations and even finding a mechanic. Very clean, excellent conditions for the price

The owners of Casa Sirius were wonderful people, and I'm thankful for their hospitality. Normally I wouldn't leave a bad review for a family run establishment, especially as lovely as this family, but the other reviews felt so misleading that I thought I would share my POV. If I were only using this hostel for sleep, the price would make it worth it. Unfortunately I got food poisoning (potentially from the breakfast but can't be sure), and had to spend my entire time in San Pedro trapped in my barren room. The bathroom window looked into the courtyard and was missing some pains of glass, making is awkward to go cause I was sick. There were no fans or air conditioning, and my only window was next to the family's door so I was kept up till late with noises from them and their dogs. There was only beds and a fridge, and I wasn't allowed to put my luggage on the beds. It was as far away from town as could be (25-30min walk on mostly dirt roads), which made it hard to get supplies to feel better. This is a good accommodation if you're on an extreme budget because San Pedro is very expensive, but I regret not spending more money for something a little nicer.

The owner of the place is very helpful in organizing the trips as he himself is the organizer of the sky-watching tours. He is very happy to assist to give advice, so the stay is as pleasant as possible. This was the case with my visit. In addition, the experience facilitates understanding the way of life in the area as in fact one feels like staying with the family, as there is only 4 rooms managed.

Very nice owner, cozy chill out lounge w TV and fridge outside, good breakfast and gated place to park a car on the property. Very clean bathroom. Would love to stay longer 😊

Super helpful owner and family, they helped us in many ways, really kind

Good location. Walkable only 15 minutes to town. Quiet clean with great hosts. Excellent ratio quality price for the area.

Very nice and friendly family. I booked a family room room but because I arrived in my own, they gave me a different room than featured on booking.com but charged me the same. A bit dishonest. The room was very cold, one of the glasses on the louvre-style window in bathroom is missing.

About 15 minutes walk away with the center of town, but there are shops close by where you could buy water and snacks. And there was also a hole in the wall Chinese restaurant a few blocks away that was good. The place is set up where one half of the building is the house that Tote and his wife and 2 kids live in. On the other side are 4 guest rooms. The rooms have private entrances, so you nominally don't enter his side of the house. Outside of the 4 rooms is a nice outdoor common area for guests, with chairs, tables, and a TV (that thankfully no one used when I was there). The wifi was fast and reliable. The breakfast was good. The place felt very safe and secure. Tote and his wife were extremely friendly and helpful. Tote is fluent in English and was eager to help book tours, and from the one comparison I made, it was for better prices than you could get from going directly through a tour agency. Tote and his wife also offered to drive me into town on some occasions, which was nice. They have 2 friendly dogs there. I'm not a dog person at all, but I liked these dogs. It was quiet most of the time and I slept well. But there was occasionally noise at night from neighborhood dogs barking, and on one night, a neighbor was playing loud music for a short while around 11pm. But I suspect that you will get that and more the closer you get to town, so I don't think that should stop you from booking this place. I would definitely recommend!
