Vicuña lodge

Guillermo the Manager is super helpful and friendly. Breakfast is great, a bit quirky, you have to cook it by yourself. When we have to leavw very early, Guillermo, left us a bag of breakfast to go, very thoughtful. Room is basic but as what to expect in San Pedro. Location is a little away from the center, very peaceful. Plenty of local restaurants nearby, it also only 15 min ealks to the center.

Pretty basic room

Very friendly and caring staff. They took care of me. Property was nice. Can’t ask for more in San Pedro.

Great place

The room has safety hazards. The stairs are short, steep and loose! Walking down to go to the bathroom during the night is a risk. The balcony door which is beside the bathroom has curtains which do not entire cover the glass door, which is an issue as people outside can see you entering and leaving the bathroom. The hot water in the shower worked only once and never again. The TV never worked. The staff were very kind and welcoming and rooms were refreshed daily, but that does not make up for the above. Had I known, I would have spent more for a proper hotel.

Only catchall staff on duty Luis was welcoming, friendly, helpful and a grandfatherly figure. He let us leave our bags after checkout. Clean, comfortable beds but room bit tight for 3 adults with DBL bed + bunk beds, nowhere to hang clothes, only 1 chest of drawers. No air con as other rooms, but night temperature was cool. Nice small pool and breakfast/patio area with kitchen, fridge, kettle, coffee, tea, milk provided open 24 hrs. Make your own breakfast eggs, to clear up afters. Good location 7 mins walk to main street. Small restaurant selling pizza, empenadas and small shops selling snacks, water 1-3mins across the street. hang area to to lounge

Hotel correct

If you are looking for a decent stay, clean rooms, great location and amazing staff this is your place. Big shoutout to the host Sophia who went up and beyond to make us feel like home!

Staff was helpful and friendly. Good location, hotel is near Calle Caracoles, the main street in San Pedro de Atacama. Breakfast was good

Très bon service avec Sophia ! Merci pour tout!

Guillermo was an excellent host, very mindful of all of the details and requirements, absolutely loved this experience

Au niveau confort, très humide et froid dans la chambre . Matelas inconfortable doit être changé!

Room oresome close to everything pool great staff great

Very helpful staff and nothing too difficult. Room was fine for 4 adults and affordable. Breakfast was adequate for our needs. We were on tours for the majority of the time. The staff even gave us a breakfast snack pack outside our room as we left early on a tour one morning.

Great place to stay. Staff magnificent starting with Guillermo . Worry about us the whole stay and even gave us breakfast pack when we did an early tour also the owner went out of her way to get me medication when I wasn’t felling well . Highly recommend

Nice lodging with hot breakfast daily or bagged breakfast prepared if going on an early excursion. Comfortable lounge area , nice pool and friendly staff. We got a discounted tour rate with Atacama Expeditions for being Vicuna Lodge guests.

Property was nice and humble. There lots of power outages in Atacama and most of the time their generator worked except on our 3rd day it was freezing. Though this isn’t their fault at all just being warm pijamas and I hope the staff is aware that maybe they need to check the generator is loaded with fuel. Over all the kindness of people made this place exceptional.

Property was really good and the host was really friendly and accomodating even though we don't speak the language. They prepared breakfast for us every morning and cleaned the rooms every day too. Small property so you can talk to other guests as well. Waking up and eating breakfast with the view of desert and mountains in the backdrop was really special too. The place is 5 mins walk from main market street so you are perfectly tucked away from peak tourist traffic and still close enough to get out and do your stuff. The airport transfer services come up to the hostel and most of the tours can pick you up from this location. Ones which cannot will generally pick up from a location which can not be more than 10 moinutes walk. We visited in winter and from our experience, two things that I want to highlight. 1. you are very close to the driest place on the earth so pack lotion and 2 because you are in the middle of a desert and temperatures drop significantly at night its better to pack warm clothes to sleep in. Room was colder than a usual hotel room.

A lot of money to spend for a place which wasn’t imo worth it. The wardrobe doors were flimsy and when opened the wardrobe shuddered and swayed as though it were to collapse. The toilet wouldn’t fill automatically, luckily the shower was close by with a flexible hose to fill it after every flush, which was just bothersome. The cord for the heater didn’t even reach the wall socket: and the heater is wall mounted so literally no way of moving it closer. Not great on chilly nights. Housekeeping came on the 3rd day, the room was left tidy and well made up, but the chemical cleaning spray they use to “scent” the rooms is chokingly awful. Even with door and window open it wouldn’t subside. The senior manager kept singing my name every time he saw me, whilst entertaining at first it became overbearing very quickly. Also introducing me to every single person in the hotel was a bit extroverted given I was just trying to eat breakfast. It’s close to town, maybe a 5 minute walk, has a few good spots around for food and supplies, but ultimately I felt it was a rather large pricetag for something I would have paid half for in my own overpriced country. Given the rooms inadequacies it was too much.

My stay was wonderful. The caretaker was the nicest person that I have met in a long time. There was a language barrior but we make it work!
