"I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this hotel. Everything exceeded my expectations. The food was incredibly fresh and delicious, with every meal prepared to a high standard. The wellness services were outstanding; the massages were truly amazing, relaxing, and rejuvenating. What made the stay even more special was the staff. Every team member was warm, friendly, and genuinely committed to providing excellent service. Their attention to detail and welcoming attitude made me feel valued throughout my stay. The entire property felt fresh, clean, and well maintained, creating the perfect atmosphere for relaxation. If you're looking for a place that combines outstanding hospitality, excellent food, and top notch wellness experiences, I highly recommend this hotel. I can't wait to return!"
"We had a very enjoyable stay at Hotel Kimal. The staff were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help, which made us feel at home from the moment we arrived.
The hotel has a good, secure car park, which was very convenient, and the location is excellent—just a short walk from the main street, making it easy to explore San Pedro de Atacama’s restaurants, shops, and attractions.
Our room was comfortable and clean, and the bed provided a great night’s sleep. The only small improvement I would suggest would be the addition of a headboard, which would make the bed even more comfortable for reading or relaxing.
As the hotel is so close to the town centre, there was some street noise at times, but this is simply a consequence of the excellent location and certainly not the hotel’s fault.
Overall, Hotel Kimal is a charming place to stay with fantastic staff, a perfect location, and comfortable accommodation. We would happily stay here again."
"We didn't realize there were 2 properties under la casa de Don Tomas (check when booking!). We were dropped off at the original location based on the address we gave from Expedia but after speaking with reception at check-in were directed to their El Refugio location, which is the newer expansion and just a 3 minute walk from the original. The rooms were large and peaceful. Breakfast was included and excellent. Would stay here again!"
"A gentleman at the front desk was quite rude. We booked two rooms, and neither of them had heating, even though the outside temperature dropped to 2°C at night. In addition, the doors and windows were not properly sealed, making the rooms even colder.
The next morning, for our second night’s stay, we requested either extra blankets or a space heater. His response was, “Well, this is not my hotel...”
After some back and forth, we eventually received both blankets and a space heater at late afternoon. It appeared that the hotel did not have enough space heaters for all the rooms, which seemed to be the real reason the front desk staff was reluctant to provide one.
Will not recommend to stay there."
"This property’s advertisement on line looks way better than the actual product. I am usually very generous and relaxed about my lodging so I am not very critical as long as I can have a decent place to stay.
This property is the first and only one I have been really disappointed in.
Secondly the property has an address of 147 Los Tamarugos . There’s no such number. It’s 149 Los Tamarugos .
Thirdly, we arrived at 5pm on a week day, we rang the doorbell for more than 15 minutes while banging on the door too. No answer!!! We called the phone number, a lady answered but nobody came to open the door for 10 minutes. We had to stop a pedestrian and asked him to help us call the property. Much later someone finally came to open the door. The doorbell’s broken. We stayed 3 nights there but that door bell was still not fixed.
In addition the hot water was interrupted every night when we were taking our showers. The bell at the service desk was also broken!!! The proprietor tried fixing it but made no progress, the water pressure dropped and the hot water turned warm instead of hot.
Breakfast was very limited. The staff were mostly non existent. The place is outdated and looked not very clean.
I’m never this critical of any place I have stayed but I have to say we were very disappointed.
The positive things were that there were 3 very friendly cats, the terrace was nice (with very dated furniture)to relax, and the property is relatively close to the centre of town .

"Good value option. The guy who runs the hostal clearly loves his work. He couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful to me. I couldn’t have been made to feel more welcome."
