Hostel Rural - The life
A quiet hostel with a large central courtyard, small and nice dorm rooms. Includes hammocks, small kitchen and free internet. Lack of water at night time - common in Atacama - and no possibility to store your luggage after checkout, nor stay in the hostel premises. Kitchen closed before 8 am and after 9 pm, no hot water early in the morning. The people working there are polite and helpful.
Residencial Casa Corvatsch
Free, slow Internet in the lobby. Outdoor, basic kitchen. No breakfast. Staff are extremely rude and unhelpful and enforce a number of strict rules including kitchen closing times at 830pm and internet shutdown at 7pm making the stay uncomfortable. Despite staying 3 nights they refuse to store luggage which is very unconvienient for those with evening buses. NOT recommended if you plan on visiting the geyers and leaving San Pedro on an afternoon or evening bus that same day due to refusal of ANY services or luggage storage upon arrival from the tour, expect to be promptly sent out into the street, luggage in hand. Television in communal reception only available to the child of the family.
