Hostal Iquisa Reviews

We only booked one night at hostal Iquisa and wanted to stay for three.Though this was not possible Roberto was very helpful in ensuring we had somewhere else to stay and took us to his families other hostal in his van. Hostal Iquisa was quite far from the central plaza so we were glad to go to the other closer hostal. Hostal Iquisa was clean and the shower was good there were quite a few flies but in the desert this cant be helped. The kitchen was well equipped. We enjoyed our stay.

rooms are comparatively big. if you dont mind staying away from the touristic city center for less its a good choice. the owner wasnt present when we arrived - she lives two houses up the street (just in case).

Very rustic place. Only 2 bathrooms for around 20 people, no lockers, internet works once in a while. However I loved it. Its really sweet. The staff is nice, the atmosphere is great, the place is built as a square around a little yard, so its easy to socialize, there are 2 hammacs, an accesible kitchen, hot water from 7 am to 11 pm ,the beds are comfortable and clean. I enjoyed my stay there.

It is a horrible hostel. The rooms are to small, the staff is never there to help you, there´s only 2 toilets for the hole hostel and there´s no toilet paper. Also, they close the water at 11pm, and you cant take a shower later, even if you had been to a tour that ended at 10pm and you are really dirty with all the dust. Plus, the water is cold and with almost no pression. its probably the worst hostel in san pedro

The place was very over booked, and I was lucky to get a bed. As the host wasn't around, I had to wake up at night and tell visitors who arrived late and were banging on the door to get in, that despite having reservations there were no beds available, and already one small bed had two people in it.

There only seemed to be one staff member, who could not speak a word of English, and often we couldn't find her. We had to wait ages for our room to be ready, an then even longer to actually be given the key. And when we asked if we could use the laundry service, she said no because there was already too much laundry for her to do (they clearly need another staff member!). But the rooms were nice, the wifi was fast, the hammocks/courtyard area was great & we met lots of fun people there :)

Terrible. Our room was in the "lobby"- very loud, and SO HOT. Couldn't open the windows for privacy reasons and flies. The bathrooms and kitchen were DIRTY. Also, a screaming match erupted between the owner and some guests over missing guest property, in front of all other guests. The owner also said in front of me that she didn't care I was there because I wouldn't understand. RUDE!... Only plus was internet, which we stayed to use even after checkout- until the police arrived after the fight!

I really liked this hostel. It is only a 7 min slow walk in the suburbs, which is really cool as to get away from the ' Englishlness' of main town San Pedro and stay on roads where 'ACTUAL CHILEANS' live.... I.e San Pedro is a village full of American accents and the hostel is a refreshing break from it all. The staff have basic english, but are uber friendly and helpfyll- it's a great way to practise your spanish. We booked all our tours with the hostel, which were 5 star

The hostel is very good

Very helpful staff. Not very close to the city center, but not far at all. The staff always offers to give you a ride. They book the tour at the hostel, and at a nice price. Definitely would stay there again.

Nice hostel, very helpful - careful on holiday weekends as (like most hostels in the area) they won't take individual bookings if they think a big group might arrive. The tours they arrange to the Geysers are great - Juan (the guide) is fantastic (although I don't think he speaks English).

It´s a such nice place! Only 10 min walking to town. And the owners a GREAT!!! I actually become friends with Them (Victoria). They help us anytime we need it. I REALLY recommend it!

I had a lovely stay at the hostel. It wasn't in the centre of the town but was only a 10 minute walk away. The staff were friendly and helpful. A nice little place with basic kitchen facilities, two toilet/showers with hot water and free WiFi access which was great. Also had small lockers in the rooms for valuables.

Everywhere is kind of sandy and dusty in San Pedro, so it's understandable that the hostel is too. There's a nice safe outside area to swing on hammocks or eat food from the adequate kitchen. The owner is the only one who speaks English. He's friendly enough but isn't around much, so make sure they know you're coming or there might not be anyone there to let you in. A bit out from the centre, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Nice cosy little place but a good walk out of town, doesn't have lockers and there's regularly no staff around so when I tried to check in I was sat waiting outside for a very long time!

The staff is WONDERFUL. Not far from town at all. Highly recommended, as it is a great value. The tours are also fantastic.
