We had a wonderful stay at Hostal Solor! Our room was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The breakfast was delicious! The location was on a quiet dead end street which was great for us parking our rental car (never had any issues finding a spot), but still easily walkable into the main part of town.

Comfortable rooms, quiet location that’s walking distance (10-12 minutes) to “downtown”, and exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended!

The WiFi in the rooms was a bit spotty sometimes, but that is to be expected in the middle of the desert.

The rooms are very clean and hospitable, the bed was incredibly comfortable. The best thing however is the personnel, they are incredibly helpful and friendly.

I enjoyed my stay at Hostal Solar and would certainly recommend them if you have reasonable expectations (it is not and does not pretend to be (or charge like) a 5* hotel). They offer clean, comfortable rooms with good wifi and the staff is very helpful. They even fixed my broken eye glasses! The bathroom and shower were fine and the breakfast solid- more or less typical of Chile. The neighborhood and rooms are quiet which I do not believe is always the case nearer the centre. They are a very good value in San Pedro where rooms can be expensive. The Hostal is about a 15 minute walk to the centre. I rented a bike for much of my time in San Pedro and that made the journey to the centre pretty quick, though I also walked on a number of occasions. Most tours pick you up at your hotel anyway. If you want a good 2-3* Hotel/Hostal in a quiet location which is a good value with a helpful staff and don't mind a 15 walk to restaurants, etc., then you will be happy at Solar.

Nice hostal. Location is ok 10 minutes walk to the busy area. Comfy bed. Good breakfast. Very secure parking for my motorbike.

Not necessarily about the property itself but we did book a taxi through them to the airport and it didn’t show up for two hours (or at all!?) so we had to pay around double what we initially were offered to get there with half an hour until take off!! I would recommend booking a shuttle or verified taxi way in advance.

The room was clean and comfortable. It had a fan as it got very warm. There was a concert in the town the night we stayed but it was quiet for the most part!

Absolutely nothing to complain, the stay was perfect!

I cannot recommend this place enough! The owners are two sweethearts and do everything to make you comfortable, including a splendid breakfast with everything fresh made specially for you. They’re always available to give you information and for a chat. Location is super nice, only a few minutes away from the main street - also cool because all the tours would pick you up in the property and drop you off after. The room have marvellous bed sheets and all. Also the room have enough space for two and the bathroom is super clean, towels and everything else are provided. On top of everything the place is quiet and nice for you to chill at night after a day of activities.

would be awesome to be able to use the kitchen to make food since atacama is very expensive

super nice owner Javier that invited us on Home made beer and was super kind! we wish him all the best. internet fine enough to work!

It’s a bit far from the center, but this is also good as it was very peaceful and quiet at night.

Everything! We arrived late at night and there was nothing open, and the host offered us to make some sandwiches where they offered breakfast. They also leave stuff for breakfast out the night before in case you have a tour starting early so you can help yourself. The room was great and warm, the second night was a bit hot and the next day the host had left a fan for us in the room, without us requesting it. They also offered filtered water for free so you can fill in your bottle. I really recommend this place, for all the facilities and for their amazing and thoughtful hosts :)

There is nothing I can complain about.

This Hostal is just amazing. Liz and Javier are excellent hosts. The place is located around 10min walk from the main street. You can park the car in the yard, but it's on a earliest guests first basis. So, you might need to wait a few days for the spot. The rooms are simple, but clean. There is no air condition, but a fan in every room. The breakfast ist very basic and it's self service, meaning you need to get the things you like to eat from the fridge yourself. Some cheese and ham is provided. Between 8:00 and 10:00 you can also get scrambled eggs (from their own chickens) and excellent coffee made by Liz or Javier. There is also a fridge where you can store your own things. And, don't miss to try one off Javier's own beers. They're amazing and Javier grows almost all of the ingredients himself. Javier speaks very good English. Liz only Spanish. I totally recommend this place.

A comfortable, clean and quiet accommodation run by friendly and attentive hosts (Javier and Liz). It’s got a comfortable bed and a good shower. The breakfast is very good, and even on days when you have to leave really early on tours, there’s some breakfast still available to help yourself and the hosts would always make sure there’s hot water for tea/coffee ready. We did our laundry with Liz’s help (at an additional charge) which was quite helpful. Javier brews his own beer and will be potentially selling it commercially in the near future, he offered us a taster on a couple of occasions which was really nice of him, and the beer was excellent. The accommodation is a little away from the town centre but that didn’t bother us - makes it a quiet place, also has a few grocery stores nearby and a few small local restaurants too which can be useful if you don’t want to head into the centre for dinner after a long day on tours.

Stayed in February 2023

The presence of the reception was a bit spotty. They helped us do some laundry, but if you don't grab them at breakfast time, you sometimes wouldn't see them for the rest of the day. It took 2 days to track them down.

We were coming to San Pedro from Uyuni and due to a change in travel plans we arrived one day later. The hostal was incredibly flexible and changed our dates for no extra charge. The hotel has ample parking on the street as well which was very convenient as we rented a car (not via the hotel) during our stay. The hotel is also close to the bus station which is great if you are arriving via coach.

Nice, intimate hostal. Greeted with wonderful homemade l beer when we arrived. A bit of a walk from the main commercial street and the rooms are one the smallish side, but I highly recommend. Good breakfast. Would stay again.

+ breakfast was good + reduced breakfast before 8am also possible + flexible checkout + very good English + hosts are very nice and helpful

Stayed in November 2022

The hostel is 15 min walk from city centre and drop off point for most tours but fully safe to walk at night so no issue, just be prepped. Bonus is you are usually the first to be picked up.

Quiet and very clean, no noise and dust which you might get if you stay in the city centre. Perfect to relax and rest. Area is residential for local people so you can feel the real local atmosphere.

it was super clean and Liz is perhaps the best hostess I’ve ever encounter. super helpful and always happy to assist in anything. the breakfast is well prepared you can serve yourself and take your time.

Smallish shower

Hostal Solor is clean, cozy, comfortable, affordable and in a great location. Lis makes a superb breakfast and the best cafe con Leche in Chile. Javier the owner was wonderfully friendly. He invited us to his home for a tour of his farm and to hit golf balls at his "driving range" in the desert. He also connected us with Pablo a local guide to take us around the Atacama. (Pablo was outstanding) We can't say enough good things about our stay here and would encourage others to give Hostal Solor a try.

Stayed in April 2022

This hostel is the best! Everything was good here. The owners are super super kind! We got homemade beer, a good breakfast from their own farm and everything was very clean. And the location was also perfect. My luggage was lost by the airline. The owner of the hostel was going to help me and he did everything to get it back. I’m very grateful for his help.

The lady who runs it is nice enough when doing her usual things but if you ask her for anything else she flat out says no. We asked her to help us book a taxi and she just said no. We would translate things to ask her on my phone as we only speak little Spanish and she would just orally respond talking rapid Spanish, making no effort to work with us to communicate. Also bear in mind if you pay by card there is an extra 3% charge which we were not made aware of. Also I had a message from the hotel saying we could pay via the wise app and when I asked the lady about it she had no idea what I was saying, even after showing her the message, so that’s also a no.

The room was spotless and comfortable, the bed was very nice and the shower was nice and hot. Breakfast was ok, same thing every day and quite salty.

We booked the apartment for 7 days and it was only cleaned twice, when we arrived they said that trash was going to be removed everyday, but he had to ask them everytime It.was very hot and we only had 1 fan for 2 rooms, was very hard to get a second fan, we could get it only on 3rd day The owner never should up, but was very difficult to deal... the communjcation was on whatsapp, the lady that worked there was very helpfull Is far from downtown, but we had a car and was not an issue for us The kitchen had minimum stuff, but we managed to make breakfast that was not included, fridge didnt cool things. Pillows were very bad, beds were ok Ilumination was very poor, rooms were dark
