Hostal Montepardo

Nice place Great stay, but people arriving at 22:00 with no previous arrangements and ringing the bell and making notice. Where they think they going? To a hotel? If you arrive in the morning till afternoon, there is someone at the property. Breakfast is great, with the lady making scrambled eggs. I enjoyed my stay

San Pedro de Atacama war die erste Station unserer Chile-Reise und Montepardo die erste Unterkunft. Schon im Vorfeld der Reise hatten wir guten Kontakt mit Robert, der viele gute Tipps hatte und uns half, unsere Zeit gut zu planen. Das Hostel ist etwas abgelegen, was aber super ist. Man ist nicht mitten im Gewusel des Touri-Lebens der Stadt und doch nah genug, um Abends was essen zu gehen. Alles ist total hübsch und liebevoll eingerichtet und sehr gemütlich. Die Zimmer werden täglich gereinigt, man kann seine Wäsche waschen lassen und das Frühstück wird täglich in der Gemeinschaftsküche angeboten. Wenn man einen Tagesausflug unternimmt gibt es statt Frühstück ein „doggy bag“. Das allerbeste ist allerdings, dass wir unser großes Gepäck während unseres 4-tägigen Abstechers nach Bolivien im Hostel lassen dürfen. Ein super Service! Muchas Gracias, amigos 🙏🏼!

There are people to welcome you from the morning till afternoon, but if you arrive 22:00 there are no people to let you in.... Please arrange with the owners to let you in and not disturb the rest of the quests ringing the bell. The place is very charming and the owner is a great lady. Breakfast is very nice and she is making fresh/hot omelet of scramble eggs. Near the center of the Village.

This was the perfect hostel which was like an oasis in the desert. The kitchen facilities were amazing and the breakfast was brilliant. If you were going out early for a tour, they would leave your breakfast in the communal fridge for you to collect. It was such a cute little place which felt very safe. It is about a 10 minute walk to the centre, but completely fine and we enjoyed the walk. The room was cozy and clean and the duvets were nice as it gets chilly at night. The only minor inconvenience was that there was no hot water, but otherwise a fantastic place which I would recommend. And the hostel cats were so so cute!!

Great stay

Do NOT trust the high rating on this place. First off, they advertise a 24 hours "front desk" but it's really a whatsapp number that sporadically answers. We arrived with some delay at 9 PM at the door,rang the bell several times and finally had to call via WhatsApp a few times until a guy called Rodrigo called someone to open the door. But that was nothing compared to the water situation at this place. First morning - stone cold water. Then day 2 and 3, NO water at all. Not in the room and not in the shared kitchen area. Imagine being in a desert town, with a tour pick-up at 5 AM and stuck with no water for shower or simple toilet use. If you try reaching the Whatsapp number at those times, there is no response until around 8 AM. Every time a staff member came smiling when we returned, did "something" and then fixed the problem, only for it to return the following early morning. On the last night i asked Rodrigo for a guarantee that there will be flowing water and he said he'll call someone to ensure it works. The end result was that we left for the Airport with a 5 AM answer having cleaned ourselves with water from the drinking bottles we had. Lots of "oh sorry" and "i'll give you one night back via Paypal" (which i don't use. But i don't care about money....i wanted a simple, basic stay WITH water. To anyone considering this place, please be cautioned. There are better options at more central locations with good service. But this one is definitely not in that category.
