Me and my friend spent some wonderful time in Sol Atacama Hostel. The rooms are clean, beds big and comfortable, there is a fast WiFi and hot water all day long. The owner of the place, Andrés is a really nice and easygoing person, picked us up from the bus terminal, gave us a lot of advice on what to do in San Pedro and took us out one night. In the hostel there was a nice atmosphere and we shared some great moments with other travellers over a bonfire and a BBQ. It is also possible to cook.

Perfect!! Very Very Cheap hostel with all the basic necessities plus constant & fast WiFi which is very hard to find in San Pedro. I stayed at another hostel paying 3x the rate and they still couldn't provide WiFi. Andres is the most friendly and helpful hostel manager/owner you will ever meet and definitely made my stay in San Pedro worthwhile. He even accompanied us to town for drinks and showed us a great time with the locals. Would definitely stay here again.

This hostel was a fun experience. The owner was wonderfull, extremely friendly and always happy and singing. Ask for free merengue classes and you won't be disappointed. He even made us a bonfire! Clean room and bathroom, big beds, small dorms. No kitchen but great place for young people.

Sorry to leave such a bad review as the owner of the hostel was lovely but there was no proper cooking facilities, no laundry service and just one toilet - shower for the whole hostel. The place was also covered in flies which was horrible. I know it is located in a desert but we moved hostel and there were not half as many flies there. I have no idea how it has 75% but it is misleading.

The worst hostel on our tour! No hot showers, no proper kitchen, no wi-fi, no help from staff about tours and trips, no safes, the frigde didnt work and the shared area are also an entrance to another house! You can find much better and cheaper in San Pedro, we sure did!

Very friendly owner. the hostel is located in the quieter part of san pedro. 10 minutes to walk to the busy center. location ist ok. But you should bring your own dishes, as there is not much.

The owner was very nice and helpful but the place is not good value for money. The shared bathroom was quite dirty and very basic and for that setup the price per night was far too high and higher than other places more centrally located.
