Lodge Quelana is the perfect place to stay, a respite just outside of the dusty, tourist filled town of San Pedro. We were so glad to not be staying in the town. We had a car, so it was convenient, but one could take taxis and Ubers. The people working the front desk (that would be you, Paola) and in the breakfast room are really helpful and friendly. The rooms are actually small casitas and very comfortable and well furnished. I especially liked the privacy this afforded and our small private patio. We traveled for almost five weeks in Chile and Argentina, and this was our favorite place that we stayed. The pool is clean and nice. The breakfast is generous and good, a combination of eggs cooked to order and a buffet of baked goods, fruits, yogurt, meat and cheese, and fresh juices made on site. Paola helped us arrange the tickets that were needed to visit some of the sights and suggest options to us. We were reluctant to leave when it was time to head to Patagonia.
Wow! This place was outstanding. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and at home. We stayed for four nights (wished we could stay longer) our check-in was meant for 3pm and we arrived at 9:30am, they offered us breakfast on arrival, which we were not expecting-Omelettes were excellent, coffee was divine. By the time we finished our breakfast, our room was ready 🙏 The moment you walk in it feels peaceful and relaxing. Our room was spacious and room temperature controlled. Hotel was always very clean. Location was also great, very close to everything. Thank you terrantai
This is a really nice hotel. The manager was a super friendly lady that was always hands on, always around, and organized and on top of everything. The rooms were really nice with really nice beds and bathrooms. Their tours were well organized but not always in comfortable vehicles. We organized a few different private tour that were extremely good to go along with the hotel tours. The breakfasts if you didn't go down when people were eating to go on the tours were always cold and cold eggs benedict does not taste good. If you had lunch or dinner on your own it was $40US flat rate EACH for a very light FRENCH portioned plate. Anything that you had that was previously frozen was always RAW in the center. I had a raw in the center piece of Salmon and a raw hamburger and mushy in the center french fries. When they brought Frozen into Argentina and Chile, they forgot to give them a meat thermometer and teach them how to cook frozen deep fried foods.
Excellent food, produce was always fresh and presentation was always the highest quality. The staff were awesome and provided great service, always going above and beyond. Laundry service was excellent, which saved us alot of time not having to worry about it. Next time I will staying here
SskybluemWe 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
Ficamos no loft. Do lado de fora muito calor durante o dia e dentro super fresco. Durante as noites frio fora e dentro super agradável. Não usamos coberta nenhum dia. Fabian, o dono é muito atencioso e simpatico. Banheiro pequeno mas muito bonitinho, reformado. Chuveiro muito bom. Como é deserto as vezes tem problema na distribuição de água, diminui a vazão de água mas isso faz parte. Uma dia aconteceu apenas. Wifi eh top. O loft eh uma casa bem Na esquina no hotel e pelo que entendo eh tombada, e eh um charme. Um guia foi nos buscar e viu por dentro, ficou encantado. Di que nao se encontra mais aquela forma de aquecer e refrescar o ambiente. Muito legal. Ficaria la novamente. Obs: tem escada para chegar no quarto e teto eh baixo , uma obs para quem tem alguma dificuldade. Ahhhh e a localização dele eh das Melhores. Ponto fortíssimo a localização
