This isn’t something we didn’t like, but others might find difficult, Gustavo runs the place by his own rules! Booking.com says you can pay on card, but when we got there he said we needed to pay in cash, booking.com says check out is 11.30 but we had negotiate for a 11am check out. However this also worked the other way, Gustavo offered us lunch or cooked items at breakfast which aren’t usually included, so it was a bit of give and take. Our only major concern was the security of our room, whilst the outside of the hostel is very secure (big gates and very secure front door), the door on our room didn’t double lock and the window in our room didn’t have a lock on it at all so could be opened from the outside. We didn’t mind this too much, given we trusted Gustavo and met most of the other guests, but a safe/locker to know your valuables are safe would have been helpful. Finally, the rooms really need bed side lamps - this js a very small addition which would make a big difference!

Gustavo was really welcoming, and a great host throughout our stay - he is quite the character who made us laugh throughout our time at Siete Colores. The room was as described/matched the pictures, it was a good size and the bed was comfortable. The room was very clean and you had the option of daily cleaning of the room which is very good for the price point of the hostel. The location was ideal for us, 10 min max walk to town, through what seemed like a safe neighbourhood and it was very quiet at night. Breakfast was basic but in line with what we expected for a free hostel breakfast. Overall we felt it was quite good value for money - Gracias mi Amigo Gustavo!

Kitchen not available for own cooking

Super comfy beds, very clean, and really helpful staff. Good location not too far from main street and the breakfast was good too.

The only point is that the rooms don't have a fan, which can be very hot during the day; opening the door and curtains takes away some of your privacy since it faces other rooms. (I discovered late that we could have requested a fan, but I also can't say if it would have been an additional cost or not). Some people staying there forget that they are in a shared environment, and talk very loudly on the phone, late at night under our window. But this is not the hosting's fault, but I would recommend adding some warnings to remind you that you are in a shared environment.

The atmosphere is simple but welcoming. We stayed in a room with a private bathroom, which was quite spacious. Gustavo was an excellent host, very friendly, and helped us in the best way possible. If you go on tours very early in the morning, he will prepare a snack for you to take with you, given that breakfast only starts at 8 AM. However, we went on tours super early and had our coffee on the tours. So I don't know how to evaluate whether the hostel's breakfast is good or not, but I believe it is. The place is very clean and well located, being a 15-20 minute walk to the main street, which has restaurants, a pharmacy, a bank, etc. It is very quiet to sleep. There is a shared kitchen where you can leave items in the fridge, use the stove if necessary, or prepare your own snack. Thank you, Gustavo, for welcoming us so well and facilitated our check-in, which was scheduled to be only 3 pm, and we arrived quite tired at 9 am, and he was able to fit us in an open room very quickly. Gratitude!

room was pretty hot on the first day as we didn't have a fan. but after requesting, we were able to get a fan on the second day which made the rest of our stay comfortable. would be nice if every room had a fan.

Booking mentioned the room had fan and airconditioning, however it does not have. San Pedro de Atacama can be hot during the day and an option should be available to have fan at least of booking shows it.

Gustavo is really great and very helpful. He is the soul of siete colores. Room with private bathroom are good too.

Room was cleaned and bedding and towels changed each day. Staff very friendly. Location excellent for exploring San Pedro.

We had a wonderfull stay with Gustavo. We were able to use the kitchen. It was basically equipped, but enough to make a simple meal. The breakfast was really nice, we got bread with ham, cheese, … yoghurt and coffee with cookies as well. The room was big and we had a nice bed. The bathroom was clean as well. It is located close to the town and in a quiet neighbourhood. We parked our car on the street in front of the hostel. We would definitely recommend staying here!

The room could get a little warm in the afternoons.

Great hostal located about a 10 min walk from the centre, quiet at night which was useful given all the early tours. The room was basic but spacious and very clean and Gustavo was friendly and helpful with advice on tours, laundry service etc.

It would be good to have an electric plug also in the room and not only in the bathroom.

Gustavo is an amazing host that will always make you feel at home. We have really appreciated the garden where you can sit and chill. City center at 10 mins walking distance. The place is very colourful and nicely decorated.

Stayed in March 2023

The only con is that the internet connection didn't reach some rooms in the hostel and therefore we had to use it from outside in the terrace which was fine just a bit inconvenient sometimes. However, Gustavo helped me a lot letting me use his hotspot when I had to do some remote work calls.

Very attentive and friendly personal, nice terrace, big kitchen with included breakfast, and well located.

Stayed in February 2023

The location was a little far from the centre, but only because it was very hot weather. The plus side of that is that it is very quiet area, especially at night. So not a negative for us.

Everything was really good about the hostal. Room, breakfast and staff. Nice clean communal kitchen as well. They will clean your room every day if you wish.
