Pascual Andino

Let's be clear: San Pedro is kind of a weird place. The main tourist jumping-off point for the central Atacama, it clings tightly to a down-market, $5-a-day-backpacker image. The town offers essentially one long street of low-cost bars and restaurants, lounging stray dogs, energetic tour touts, cookie-cutter souvenir shops, and oddly expensive outdoor equipment dealers. In the evenings, all those backpackers kill time by walking up and down the street and looking for happy hour prices on beer. Happily, a block off one end of that peculiar mecca we found a calm oasis: the Pascual Andino. Nestled behind its high, blank adobe walls is an open courtyard surrounded by rustic-chic rooms, each with their own enclosed patios and access to a shared outdoor seating area and jacuzzi. The staff is solicitous and friendly -- and speaks excellent English. We had a rental car that they provided adjoining secure parking for with some prior coordination. Breakfast is more or less standard buffet fare, but was plentiful and good, and the one morning we set out before the breakfast room opened they boxed food for us to take with us. If you're going to use San Pedro de Atacama as a base -- and the sights within driving distance of it are most definitely worth it -- Pascual Andino is the place to stay.

My experience at Pascual Andino was perfect. This is a lovely boutique hotel very close to the main street and town square. Staff were extremely helpful, included breakfast was great and the room was fantastic. I would definitely recommend Pascual Andino.

This little boutique hotel is an absolute gem. The room was spotless and rustic. The shower was luxurious with endless hot water and amazing water pressure. The entire hotel is tucked inside adobe walls with cute comfy sitting areas and a small number of rooms to make the whole place feel quaint. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful. We would love to come back! We are at our next hotel and miss Pascual Andino already!

This was a lovely place to stay. Forget booking big hotels and opt for this boutique small haven set behind big wooden doors and offering a quiet place yet easy walking to restaurants. The staff are lovely and super helpful, breakfasts great and the spa lovely to relax in . Rooms have a private courtyard and ceiling fans. Very clean. Shower was amazing. Highly recommend.

The hotel is very conveniently located. There is free on-site parking (upon request). Staff were friendly and accommodating. Although there are ceiling fans, there is no air conditioning so it gets a bit warm at night before it later cools off. We would definitely stay here again.

Very nice hotel, clean and quiet. Well located , very close to shops and restaurants. Parking inside the hotel is greatly appreciated. This hotel fully deserves the excellent comments on the site. Also the staff is top notch
