2-Star Hotels in El Loa

The room is large with bed and comfortable dresses. Breakfast is simple, but very tasty. The staff are very nice and nice. The hotel has a jacuzzi that you can book and use once a day. The only bad point is that you have a bar next to the hotel that plays high music until late. It didn't catch me because I had no problem to sleep, but for people with lighter sleep it could be a disadvantage.

Offering nice views of the surroundings, rooms at Nuevo Amanecer Hostal have shared or private bathroom facilities. A Continental breakfast is available for a surcharge.

The rooms -- including bathrooms -- are tiny, which did not bother us as digital nomads because they still offered a lot of storage. The first floor lobby spills into an enormous dining room/work hall with plenty of seating and a variety of table heights (great for me to work sitting then move to a standing position). Lots of natural light and you can people watch through the windows. 24 hour attention @ the front desk and wifi speeds work GREAT in the room and best in the lobby. Brekkie is included in your rate and very good compared to other breakfasts we have eaten throughout our stay in Chile, including eggs made to order. Cafeteria offers buffet style or a la carte lunch + dinner. The sandwich we had for dinner was average, but keep in mind there are not many restaurants open on a Sunday in the area. Secure, off-street parking and we found that ~33% of the front desk staff we encountered spoke some English. NEGATIVES: 1) The room size is tight, but fine, except that there did not seem to be much air flow. This led to us sleeping with the window cracked for circulation, but the street noise is a distraction throughout the night. Bring ear plugs. 2) The included gym is a good thought but does not have free weights/weight lifting equipment; only cardio. For ~$6 USD/$5000 CHP there is a full gym 1 block away where you can buy a day pass. 3) Hotel contract mentions a safe in the room, but we did not see one in ours?! That would have been a useful touch. 4) I know the hotel cannot help its location, but I do not believe this is in the ”best” area of town. That being said, Calama is a bit rough anyway so the entire city itself statistically is not as safe as the aggregate of Chile. Case in point, EVERYONE tells you to not be out after sunset and the day of our arrival a poor teen was stabbed ~5 blocks from the hotel. This does not reflect in my rating of the hotel, but travelers should know that going into Calama/this hotel.

The check in was smooth. I as a non-Chilean didn't need to pay the extra taxes. It's 1.5km from centro, but that's not a big problem. I walked back and forth to centro, and I felt safe even at late night. The room was ok. The bunk bed was sturdy. There were 3 living areas: indoor, roofed outdoor, and rooftop. Rey Lagarto has the typical international hostel vibes and services. The major room for improvement was the wifi, which was slow and unstable. I'm not sure if this was about the geography of Atacama.

Cuando decidimos ir a San Pedro de Atacama, la idea era optar por una estadía acorde al lugar, quizá acostumbrados a la hoteleria clásica. El lugar está a la entrada de San Pedro de Atacama y optamos por éste, principalmente porque había lugares que aunque tenían mejores calificaciones, también asumian que el ruido nocturno empañaba la estadía. Se trata de un hostal cómodo, cercano, sin mayores garantías, adecuado a lo que buscábamos (tranquilidad, silencio, descanso). Pieza completa, baño privado, closet y espacios adecuados. No cuenta con TV, lo cual lo hace más tranquilo y cómodo, especialmente por las noches. Cuenta con una pequeña piscina que sirve para refresc****, además está rodeado de sillones para descansar post almuerzo o para disfrutar de la noche. Atención personalizada de Johnny (dueño) que te ayuda frente a solicitudes que se requiera. Desayuno buffet completo para el tipo de estadía. Wifi impecable, sin intermitencias. Supermercado al frente del hostal. Quedamos muy conformes a lo elegido y lo volveríamos a elegir si hubiese una nueva visita.
