The hotel is in the centre of town. A very small basic double room with tiny bathroom. No water in our room on the first morning and staff seemed indifferent to the fact. On the second morning we left our room at 0400 for an excursion and returned at 1230 to find that they'd only just started to clean it... More

Hotel Kimal is a beautifully designed hotel, using local materials. the staff are helpful, courteous and friendly. the chef is a genius, trained at the French Culinary Institute, who prepares delicious meals. finally, the pisco sours are the best in San Pedro.

The rooms are individual cottages. The property is quite nice and they share the restaurant and parking with the other Kimal hotel. Breakfast: if you eat at the restaurant it's a decent spread. Some of the cakes are stale. The packed breakfast was horrible. Stale bread with a single slice of cheese. I said no pork - but found a... More

We stayed in the superior jacuzzi room. The room was spacious with a UK king bed and a large bathroom. No tv in the room (but we didnt want to watch tv!), small wardrobe that could fit some clothes. Unfortunately we couldnt use the jacuzzi as it was too big to fill and the water pressure was very low so... More

San Pedro de Atacama although hot dry and dusty is definitely worth the visit and the Kimal is the perfect place to stay, certainly one of the few best. Staff were most welcoming, the rooms are not the largest but they are beautifully prepared, clean and well kept. The style is adobe charm with lots of polished wood, stone and... More

San Pedro de Atacama is expensive and this hotel is no exception, but we spent 4 very enjoyable nights in Poblado Kimal. The staff were helpful, friendly and tolerated my appalling Spanish (most spoke enough English for us to communicate). The rooms (chalets) were clean, and the food in the restaurant some of the best we had in our 5... More

We stayed in the Poblado Kimal for four nights and not one of them was peaceful! Directly behind the cabins is one of the busiest restaurants in San Pedro which had live music or karaoke every night we were there. Also, the cabins are quite close to each other so there is a considerable amount of noise from people coming... More
