Northern Chile, Chile hotel rooms at the Independent

"Lovely hotel with great staff . Good location also"

"Great staff and fantastic rooms. Wonderful grounds. Quiet. Superb breakfast. It is a brief drive from the end of San Pedro, 5+ minutes to the turnoff. Then about 2 minutes on unpaved road. But because of that, transportation needed to get to town for restaurants, shops, tours. We had a rental car from calama airport. We found it difficult to navigate the streets of San Pedro by car and parking was not obvious, for meeting up with tour groups. Also the turnoff onto the dirt road was not clearly marked for the last 2 minutes to the lodge. It is at an animal crossing sign. There has been a hotel sign there we were told, but it was not there for us. Signs at the turn and on the dirt road ( go right at the animal crossing, then on the dirt road immediate right and then left) would make this superb hotel even better. After we found it the first time, it was simple. The Maps App wrongly said to park on the highway and walk. The drive on the dirt road was easy in a passenger car once we knew where to go. "

"We really enjoyed our stay at Our Habitas Atacama and appreciated how thoughtfully the hotel’s design and aesthetic mirror the surrounding desert landscape. Breakfast was excellent, with a diverse spread and the added bonus of choosing a hot dish from the menu each morning. It was a great way to start full days of exploring. Service and housekeeping throughout our stay were also consistently warm, attentive, and reliable. One of the standout experiences for us was the stargazing offered at the hotel. Being able to step out of our room, sip chamomile tea, and take in an incredibly bright night sky right within the property was truly special experience. We booked our excursions through the hotel’s preferred partner, Trekana, and had a seamless experience. Tours were always on time, guides were knowledgeable, and everything was well organized, allowing us to fully enjoy each outing. As other reviews mention, the hotel is about a 10–12 minute walk from the town center, and the road can be quite dusty. This didn’t bother us at all since we frequently walked into town to shop and dine, but it’s good to be aware of. Overall, we loved having Our Habitas Atacama as our base to explore such a unique region. Would definitely recommend and would happily stay again."

"Location"

"This is one of the prettiest and best run hotels we’ve ever experienced."

"Location, location, location. That is all you need to know. Oh, they have secure motorcycle parking. That too is important. And the breakfast is AMAZING! But Location Rules. And this is just an amazing location. If you want a new, Americanized place, this might not be it. Hot shower too!"

"Romina at the front desk was helpful and cheerful."

"We had a very good stay. They are very accommodating and efficient. Location is good, close enough to the main st but far enough from the noises. Only thing is there’s no AC which might be typical for the region. They give you a fan which solves the issue. Overall, it’s very good . "

"Great location, good breakfast and great staff."
