Puripica Hostel Reviews

some mnutes away from the center but so without trouble, clean, quiet, friendly, I booked a single room, so a realy good breakfast

Puripica is a nice family run hostel about a ten minutes walk from town. The staff are friendly and helpful and are happy to assist with booking excursions and tours. Note that only the private rooms get breakfast - tea/coffee, toast, Ham, cheese, jam. We also had no hot water in our room, so be prepared for cold showers. Wi-Fi is available only in the office. Overall a comfortable & pleasant stay.

A little bit outside of town, but it´s worth it. Very friendly owner Alexandra is always very helpful and nice. Hot water, WiFi, Clean rooms. I would go there again.

A really lovely place to Stay in San Pedro. True, you have to walk about 500metres to the main plaza, and the road can be dark at night, but take a norch and hey presto. The lovely owner Alejandra can pick you up from the bus station and help you with tours. All round, a lovely hostel. Highly recommended.

This hostel is about 15 min walking distance from San Pedro downtown. We were lucky to get an upgrade to a private room at the first night which was absolutely nice. The dorm is quite small but comfy. Bathroom is good and hot water is available. The kitchen is big and good. Breakfast is available at an extra cost for people staying in the dorms (private rooms include breakfast). The landlady is very friendly and helpful. Good place to stay in San Pedro!

We really liked our stay at puripica :-). Service with a smile at all times. The tours organized by the hostel were good fun. Location is a 5-10 min from the city, but they pick you up and drop you off at the bus station if required. Definitely recommended.

Yes the hostel is some 15 minute walk from town and that would not bother us but it can be very dusty as per usual in San Pedro de Atacama. We rated the value on the basis of 5 other Chilean hostels (Santiago,Valpo,La Serenna, Elqui Valley, etc) and feel all factors considered we could have done better. We would have had to rate it much lower were we to consider the 50% less we are paying for our present location in Argentina.

Far from city center. The distance doesn't matter but the road condition does. The road is dusty and dark. Wifi usually doesn't work. But the whole city cannot get online sometimes, so it's not the fault of the hostel. The owner can speak some English but he is usually out of office.

Perfect for a short stay, the lady of the hostel pick me at the station and is very nice when you arrive by night !!! San pedro don't have so many street light....

we had a private room with bathroom. We arrived early and only had to wait about 30 mins until our room was ready. nice big room and a good bathroom and decent shower. Staff were excellent and always smiling - nothing was too much trouble. God breakfast - coffee, bread ham & cheese

We were 4 girls staying in a 4 bed dorm, which was great! Rooms were clean, shower was hot, staff were very friendly and helpful. It is a little difficult to find if you arrive at night but once we were there, it was an easy walk in to town etc. Would stay again

i stayed in a 4 dorm. the staff was extremly helpful and friendly, organised tours . Everything was clean, beds comfortable. The only thing i didnt like was the location as i traveled alone and at night you have to walk abit outside of the center and the lights are poor. They told me San Pedro is save, but still didnt like walking in the dark....

it's a little outside town, but no problem if you follow the directions ;) no wifi, just one computer, no lockers!

A great hostel. It was a fantastic place to stay for a couple of nights before heading off to the salt flats for 3 days. Staff were all really lovely and organised tours each day for us, cleaned our room daily and even did our laundry for a small fee. We were 3 girls travelling together and booked a triple room with an ensuite which ws a nice treat before the salt flats. Would highly recommend this hostel.

friendly staff, very clean,
