If you don't want a swanky (and expensive) resort-style hotel then this may well be your best option. A motel-style layout, about 10 mins walk along well-lit roads from the main San Pedro street, with comfortable and clean bathrooms. A particularly helpful front desk team, 24-hour help-yourself tea and coffee on hand, and good buffet breakfasts and snacks available in... more

We stayed at this hotel over Christmas and were pleasantly surprised. It was much nicer than we expected. No, it is not a resort but if that is what you are looking for, you probably should not be in the Atacama desert. The hotel is clean , the beds are comfortableand the bathroom was spacious. The staff was helpful and... more

I stayed from the 21st to the 23rd of December 2008. As I started my stay in the hotel, after flying 2 hours to Calama and then driving 1 and a half hours to San Pedro, hey said we couldn't check in until 3 PM. So they said we could leave our bags at the reception since it was plus... more

We like Extremely clean - bed linen smell good as your grandmother washed them few minutes before your arrival Helpful and (sometimes) knowledgeable staff Water and tea all day will help you recover from the discomfort caused by the altitude We don't like Motel-like layout and overall decor. Forget about it if you are looking for a nice, trendy hotel.... more

We stayed at Don Tomas to tour the Atacama Desert. The hotel was very cute, clean and cozy. When we arrived at the hotel, we were impressed with the service. The staff at the reception were very friendly and helpful, especially the bearded gentleman who looked to be the head manager. He seemed to love his job which was refreshing... more

Stayed here for 5 nights. We found it expensive but the choice was limited in San Pedro. First choice would have been Kimal which was fully booked. The room was clean at all times, the breakfast buffet was good, all day long tea and coffee was a nice touch, staff were pleasant. The hotel is a walk from downtown and... more

The pictures of Don Tomas on its website don't do the place justice. Long, low buildings set around a big gravel courtyard don't make for pretty photos. But inside rooms are a reasonable size, clean and comfortable. We stayed twice over a period of two weeks - took time out to go to the Bolivian salt plains. Found the staff... more

I booked this hotel because a colleague had stayed in it and said it was fine. I think that is how I would sum the hotel up... "fine/average/functional". There is no wow factor but it does the job. It is aimed at the non-backpacker, mid-range market San Pedro is purely a tourist town (but don't let that put you off,... more

Last May my nephew and I went to Atacama. Since ours contacts by internet in order to arrange everything of our stay until our welcome reception and stay, the hotel´s staff were perfect. Besides its location, charm, and infra, this hotel must be very proud of its staff. more
