Kinsa Atacamena

Beds are comfortable, showers get hot, and the staff are really friendly. The WiFi could use some improvement, but I had a good stay here.

The location worked well for us, with grocery stores nearby and the bus terminal close. The kitchen is small, though the staff were happy to fetch other appliances from their private kitchen. Our room and bathroom stayed clean, and the soft bedsheets made for a comfortable sleep. WiFi was strongest in the common areas, and there were no room lockers, but shared lockers with keys were available. We enjoyed the social feel, especially the community dinners and BBQs, and the staff were kind and helpful. We stayed two nights. One thing I didn’t like was the cleaning staff coming in around 9:30 or 10 and hurrying us along, even though checkout was at 11.

A fairly new hostel with friendly owners and a nice atmosphere. There’s a small kitchen for guests.

The owner was attentive and friendly, and it’s handy for both the center and the bus terminal. But the room was really hot, WiFi didn’t work anywhere, and the hot water was unreliable. The bed was dirty when we went to sleep. The dining area is outside, so mornings and evenings were cold, and the kitchen had no cooking utensils. For the price, I don’t think the quality is good enough to recommend it.
