I think the best of this hotel is the service at the reception, ranging from good to perfect. In particular, one of the receptionists, called Julia, even went beyond her duty and made sure I got a place at the astronomy tour one night when it seemed hard to get it (I hadn't even asked her to do any of...

This hotel is a 10min walk from the centre of town. It is not a 'luxury' hotel but it had all that we needed. We stayed 3 nights while we explored the surrounding Atacama Desert. The room was large and the bed comfortable, the bathroom had 2 showers one inside and one outside! There is a pool with sunbeds which... More

With its building integrated to the landscape (adobe construction), Altiplanico has clean rooms, great bed, good bathroom and an efficient heating system. We're there during the winter and this made a huge difference in a place where the air is very dry and cold. Altiplanico is very well maintened and is in a perfect distant of san pedro center, walking... More

Driving down the dusty road you make a quick left onto the property and into a quaint little oasis. A perfect place to rest after being in the desert. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The place is immaculate and you will even see the owner checking on little details. My room was darling and spotless. The housekeeper even... More

We stayed at this hotel for three days as part of a month long trip to South American arranged by Meike at Imagine Latin America ( I would highly recommend using this company, our trip was perfectly planned to give us a set of different experiences as we travelled around South America)). The hotel was in a very quiet and... More

I had read in some books about the Hotel Altiplanico. The reviews were 50/50 yet our travel agency booked us there because they said that the other hotels were booked. We were there in their Summer (February 2012). Our experience was good in terms of the cleanliness of the hotel in general (cabins as well as lounge and restaurant; not... More

We had a really nice stay at the Altiplanico. Beautiful relaxed setting, pool etc. Food was nice but not amazing but we didn't expect it to be amazing. If was really nice to be out of the town and, although you do have a short walk, it's good to be away from the hustle and bustle. The staff were very... More

We stayed here three nights.The room was spacious and the bathroom clean , the shower cubicle itself was rather dark. Service was a little slow and meals quite pricey (especially if you paid in Chilean Pesos - there was a 19% discount if you paid in USD). The hotel is about 15 minute walk down a dirt track to the...

We stayed at the Altiplanico during the first week of February 2012. The hotel is located a little off the main pedestrian drag in San Pedro de Atacama. The main pros are the pool, included breakfast, helpful reception. The rooms were clean, with nice outdoor showers and water was filtered and drinkable. The negatives included the kitchen (the quality of... More
