Our Habitas Atacama

Absolutely loved our stay here, after being in hostels for the past few weeks we treated ourselves and felt like we did just that. The staff were extremely lovely and helpful in regard to where to go, what trips to do etc and anything we needed they accommodated for. The rooms were stunning and the bed was extremely comfy (needed after hostel beds). The only niggle was the water pressure of the shower and no hair dryer etc in the room but can’t say that made a difference to our stay. If you are going to Atacama, you have to stay here!

“A peaceful hotel on the edge of town”

A rustic eco hotel on the edge of town. The hotel is very welcoming and helpful over things like packed breakfasts and lunches.

A rustic eco hotel on the edge of town. The hotel is very welcoming and helpful over things like packed breakfasts and lunches. Edwardo the barman stood out for quality of service and help beyond the call of duty. The rooms are a little dark and there is a hot/cold variation on the shower which i think is caused by the next door room turning on or off their shower... The hotel is peaceful and only a short stroll into town.

“Best stay in Chile. Beautiful hotel!”

We spent five enjoyable nights in Our Haibitas, San Pedro de Atacama. Our room was huge, with plenty of space for our suitcases, large bathroom and a good bed.

We spent five enjoyable nights in Our Haibitas, San Pedro de Atacama. Our room was huge, with plenty of space for our suitcases, large bathroom and a good bed. We missed a coffee machine or kettle in the room plus a few hungers on the walls. There are so many empty walls that hungers would facilitate the guests. We enjoyed the outdoor shower too although was winter time. Lovely swimming pool was not heated so even we tried to enter around 14:00 o clock the water was freezing! Breakfast was good and the two mornings we had it at the hotel was super calm because most of the guests leave earlier for excursions. For the days we had excursions leaving early morning, the hotel was preparing a take-away breakfast bag for us. We loved the cereal bar which looked home made. We had the stargazing session one of the evenings without extra fees. It was offered by the hotel to its guests. We enjoyed it a lot! Pity, I cannot recall the name of the person who gave the session (we've been told was half German). He explained everything clearly and shared his knowledge. In another location during our holidays we needed to pay for a stargazing and the session was not at all good! This one, at Our Habitas, given by this man was amazing! We didn't have any dinners or lunches at the hotel so I can comment. There are so many nice restaurants in the city so we didn't have the chance to try the one of the hotel. Upon checking, in the receptionist tried to convince us to be charged 250 dollars as a credit for any services we may use at the hotel while staying there. And that this charge would be a value for money for us rather than getting charged afterwards individually for any service provided from the hotel. She explained us that if we wouldn't get this offer, it would be more expensive afterwards to be charged individually for any service because we would have the addition of taxes. This 250 dollars would be refunded if we wouldn't use them of course, but don't forget it's the exchange rate also with your home country currency and you will never receive the exact amount back. Ourselves, we didn't take this offer by the hotel and in my opinion it was not needed if you don't plan to eat at the hotel or have a massage etc. We didn't use any of these so we did well for not getting it. Last, I would like to comment on the location of the hotel which is a ten mins walk from city centre. Yes, the road is gravel and dusty and you have to walk it all, receiving dust from the passing cars. In the late afternoon they spray the road with water for reducing the dust. Its not that a big deal but sometimes you get annoyed. It's everywhere the roads like these though. The difference with staying at the city center is that the speed limit there is lower and the cars don't create dust, where Our Habitas is located a bit on the outskirts and cars move faster. Overall a beautiful and memorable stay! We enjoyed it a lot and would stay there again when in the region. San Pedro de Atacama is a lovely little town you can fall in love with too! ~ a kind tip: Don't water much the cactus along the walking path in the hotel. Daily watering will destroy them. We noticed that every day, these cactus were being watered! You could see they began turning yellow on top! They don't need so much water!

It is an Aesthetically pleasing environment. Beautiful room and an excellent opportunity to switch off from the world. Yoga and Pilates are available. Quite a walk from where you would be dropped off when tours are finished. Roads are poorly lit and quite anxiety inducing for a single traveler. Poor restaurant service - late and forgetful of dietary requirements. Okay food.
