As other reviewers have stated, this hostal is quite a long walk into town and you really have to plan your day to avoid unnecessary returns in the blistering sun. It is a long, dusty walk, but the whole town is dusty and I think there are only two taxis, so don't count on using them. Most tour operators pick... More

The hostal frequently hasn't someone in the desk. I wait at the closed door for 40 min until be able to do my check-in. The distance to Caracoles is 13 min walking (1100m), i don't mind to walk, but in the way have a lot of sand. Good Breakfast, no noise, clean bed.

This is a very simple hostal, located a good 15-minute walk from the plaza in San Pedro. The rooms are small but comfortable, with great complimentary wifi. Breakfast is basic, but very good. What really makes this place is Silvia, the owner. She is about as 'hands-on' as you could ever wish an owner to be; friendly, helpful, and being... More

Silvia waited up until we arrived at midnight. She does not speak English, but we had a Spanish speaking friend call ahead and make sure Silvia knew when we were arriving. The accommodations are simple but scrupulously clean. The hostal is on the far edge of town. We walked home from the center of town twice around midnight. We weren't... More

We definitely would recommend Hostal Solor. Its location, at San Pedro' suburbs - what is expressly mentioned by the owners - is in fact a surplus, as we can easily get there from town and rest in a very comfortable and quiet place, while admiring the Licancabur.volcano, right on the other side of the road. Señora Silvia, the host, is... More

Hostal Solor is at the edge of town, a 15 minute walk from the center. The rooms are very simple, though clean. The shower barely functioned at least in our room. It is quite noisy with packs of barking dogs braying all night. And when walking do not get near the dogs as they will charge. Breakfast was decent though... More

It's been nearly a year since I stayed at Hostal Solor (Aug. 2010), but I just got onto tripadvisor and had such a great experience that I wanted to write a review. My finance at the time and I stayed for 5 nights. While the accommodations are pretty simple (remember that you're in the middle of the desert), Silvia went... More

The owner Sylvia was really lovely and made us breakfast on a beautifully set table - great way to start the day. She gave us advice about tourist destinations and even lent us towels for the day. She also rents good quality bikes - very useful! I saw that the last people to write about the hostel said it was... More
