We arrived late at night in Calama and wanted to stay one night there before heading to San Pedro the Atacama the next morning., The hotel is located 3 minutes from the airport. The rooms are average at best. They are quite dark and look a bit dated. Breakfast was rather poor and only the pineapple had some taste. The... More

We stayed in this hotel for an overnight before heading of to Tierra Atacama. Be warned - take one of the taxis lined up outside the airport there are not many and they go quickly. Four of us got in with all our luggage in the trunk held in place with bungie cords. The driver charged exactly what was shown... More

The hotel offers quick in and out from the airport but don't rely on the staff to pick you up. We needed a taxi despite assurances to the contrary. The room was fine - clean and comfortable - and the buffet dinner was very good indeed. We arrived in the early evening and the woman at the reception desk spoke/understood... More

Positives: plenty of hot water, okay shower with bath, quiet room and dark, good selection of tv channels, standard breakfast and wifi in receptionist areas. Negatives: rooms are very dated, smelly. Bathroom needs a good scrub. Bed linen gave me rashes, no safe in the room, taxi from airport ripped me off (as I am a gringo). Depends on staff,... More

A quality hotel, well appointed in this mining town on the edge of the atacama desert - i.e. in the middle of nowhere. Much better than you'd think possble in this town. But be sure to take US$ cash to pay the bill,or they add domestic tax and then convert to pesos at a terrible rate. Our US$100 room wound... More

We chose this hotel because we had an early flight out of Calama. The rooms are spacious. The beds are a bit too hard. The bath tub was in bad need of a scrub. Breakfast was very good. The staff at breakfast was very kind, however, I have never encountered reception staff so disorganized and reluctant to be of service... More

This place is clearly a business hotel and fulfils that criteria. We booked put of desperation when flying late into calama and it did the job, just not well! Firstly, be warned calama is expensive! This hotel agreed to arrange a transfer from the airport for us which was not there, and on our departure they organised a taxi to... More

Don't think about basing in Calama or this hotel, but if you need a night for airport purposes, you can grin and bear it. It's North America chain style, too expensive, and devoid of soul or charm. The buffet dinner caters to its Japanese mining businesspeople clientele and is terrible. Not sure if there are other options though. Wifi works... More

This hotel is OK. Clean, near the airport, with a beautiful swimming pool. The room is comfortable. We had a problem that there was no hot water until 9 pm on the day we stood there. We tried to call the reception but they didn't answer it. When we reached them, they said that the hot water would be available... More

I have nothing nice to say about Park Hotel Calama. Do not stay here, if you can help it! When I arrived at the hotel, there was one person ahead of me at reception. Numerous people arrived after me, and were attended to before me. In fact, no staff member even said hello to me or acknowledged me standing at... More
