    I can’t think of anything.

    This Hotel provided us a good sleep and good food for making our flight connections and to our trip to San Pedro de Atacama. Beyond the included breakfast, which was delicious, the hotel even provides food for purchase which provides an excellent service to those staying at the hotel.

    NOT having a refrigerator/freezer in the room, no microwave oven as expected. Judy wasn't very helpful during check-in process. No WIFI available within the rooms on the 6th floor, only near the stairway or in the lobby.

    Breakfast was good but not fantastic. Usually we got clean towels when requested but not always without asking for then.

    Bed is pushed against the wall so one person on a two bed person will have to wake the other one up if they need to get out of bed. Internet does not work at all. Dinner options a bit expensive .

    Location is good with nearby restaurants . They have private parking. The rooms and facilities were quite clean and there is water gallons on every floor. Breakfast is quite satisfactory. Good shower pressure and temperature and linen and towels included.

    Outstanding hotel in the centre of Calama. It looks brandnew, the rooms are well equipped, there is even a heating that is integrated in a something that looks like a picture-very impressive. The restaurant/cantine is spaciouss, the food is good and comes in a big variety. Before we arrived to Calama we were told by several people individually that it's rather dangerous with lots of crime related to drugs and unemployment outside of the mining sector. The hotel felt like our safe space and we very happy to have both our dinner and breakfast in the cantine before leaving Uyuni. Money for value for amazing. Thanks for having us.

    The water stopped working throughout the night, no idea why and it was a little hot. Also was not a big fan of the area

    It was nice and small, we only stayed for one night so cannot really complain. Breakfast was good and secure parking

    The rooms were a little small but they are built for workers. There is under bed storage which makes up for the lack of space but the rooms were comfortable and functional.

    A good hotel. Great parking. Small but clean and tidy rooms. Good shower. Drinking water available on all floors. Restaurant good value. Breakfast good.

    Didn’t like payment options. Credit card only! Cash and debit cards not accepted! I was lucky that another hotel guest paid for me using their credit card and I reimbursed them in cash. Disappointed that hotel had very limited payment option policy. Was the only time I encountered this in a 7 week South American trip. If it wasn’t for a Good Samaritan I wouldn’t have been able to pay or stay!

    Staff let me check in early.

    There is quite a lot of traffic on the street towards the entrance, which is audible from the rooms.

    The room was comfortably warm, which is essential when traveling during winter (July). It was excellent, with a duvet instead of blankets, as we have experienced in many other places in the region. Everything was fresh and clean.

    We checked in at 1pm and the receptionist tell us check in time is 3pm even though rooms were available, is there a need for this?

    Nice hotel for a night stay at the mining town, breakfast is good , they even encourage you to take away.
