My stay at Hotel Kimal was amazing. The room was spotless and very comfortable, and the common areas were always clean and well kept. The staff were exceptionally friendly and courteous, always ready to help with anything I needed. The location is perfect for walking around town, and the atmosphere in the hotel is peaceful and relaxing. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Great stay, clean spacious room, attentive staff and amazing location. Only downside is because of location being so close to bars and restaurants on the main road, it was loud at night. Nothing that some earplugs couldn’t fix (which they provided).

There are two sections of the property. One section is the regular room on the same side of the reception. The other section has all the cabins cross the street from the reception. The property is beautiful and unique. Very good location. Close to the center of the town. Staffs are very friendly and attentive. Room (the cabin) is pretty good size for two people. You can refill the water from the restaurant. The only thing that bothers me (I am a super light sleeper) is the bird chirping in the early morning. Hotel prepares plugs for each room. I like this property overall, would come back.

A perfect stay.

A perfect stay from a complimentary early check in to a comfortable room and especially comfortable bed. Secure private parking. Excellent housekeeping and all staff very friendly and helpful. The hotel feels like an oasis in the town, with seating areas outside each room as well as others dotted around the hotel. Lovely relaxing pool area and terrace. Good choice at breakfast.

We rented a car and drove from Calama airport to SPDA. The hotel has a private, gated parking area, which is very convenient. We really enjoyed having the free buffet breakfast and the restaurant on site. It's a bit pricey but the food is excellent. If you are leaving early for sightseeing, the hotel will prepare you a bag breakfast to take with you! The hot tub was excellent after a long day of sightseeing/hiking. We also got massages at the spa - the spa, however, is around the corner and not on the actual hotel property. It's just a one-minute walk away. The rooms are bungalows with outdoor entrances so you will not hear the other guests at all. We had a skylight in our room. The property itself has many trees and birds and is quite lovely. The staff was SO helpful and kind, especially in the restaurant. Overall, we had a great stay here and would definitely recommend it.

Hotel Kimal was the perfect base for our exploration of San Pedro de Atacama. It is right in the town, walking distance from everything. Our self-contained villa/cabin was spacious, comfortable, private, quiet and warm (with a spa bath!) and the staff at Hotel Kimal were extremely helpful, responsive and accommodating. Special shout out to Cristian who looked after us impeccably. Top choice for San Pedro!

Honestly, this is nothing special for the price. The WiFi does NOT work. The smell of sewer was coming out of my bathroom and sticking the room. The breakfast is subpar. I would not stay here again. Only good thing they have is the location.

Hotel Kimal is a fabulous place as a relaxing and convenient base for your San Pedro de Atacama adventures! The staff are friendly and helpful and the courtyard and rooms are beautiful and comfortable. Someone put a lot of thought and care into building and maintaining this hotel. The breakfast that comes with your stay is a marvelous and varied buffet of fresh breads and fruit, yogurt and toppings, and made to order eggs. The restaurant is excellent!
