This hotel is like being set back in time with the huge courtyard, birds, turtles and quiet atmosphere. I agree with previous reviewers, it has seen better days and needs some paint, redecorating and upgrading , - but it is so charming and the location is just perfect. We loved it when we were there in April 2012. The rooms... More

Interesting place... Manmade oasis. Sandboarding and sand-dune Buggy rides are action packed. The rest of the oasis slow... Watch out for food. Had a vegetarian dish with mushrooms and got some kind of thing from it. Otherwise, ok standard. Not more. Not less.

Stayed for 1 night while on the way to Nazca. The hotel certainly has a charm about it. I actually liked the ambience of the place, even though I must admit the rooms have seen far better days. If you can forget about European style hotels, this has a lot to offer. The central courtyard gives the place a good... More

There is no doubt that the Hotel Mossone has seen better days. They were probably in the Forties, which is when most of the decor seems to date from. The paving in the central courtyard is a personal accident claim waiting to happen, being very uneven. But for sheer quirkiness, the Mossone knocked every other hotel we stayed in during... More

I'll agree with previous reviewers that the decor of the rooms is more likely to be found in monastary cells, but the rooms/bathrooms are spacious and quite charming! We reserved one room, but that room was more like a suite, with 2 bedrooms (4 beds), so we each had our own private room. Bed was comfortable, and I slept like... More

The hotel is very calm and the service is great. The restaurant’s food is very good, the pool is clean, and overall my stay was wonderful. The only downside was the high price.

This hotel is converted from an old hacienda and has an enormous courtyard onto which all the rooms have access. Next to a lake and surrounded by giant sand dunes.

The hotel retains it's historical feel. Romms are large and roomy, clean with no frills. The atmosphere is wonderful, very tranquil inside and outside the hotel. Unfortunately we only had 1 very short night here, would have loved to stay another night. We arrived at 8pm and left again at 6.30am. The staff could not have been more helpful and... More
