On the edge of town and at the end of the main street, it is quiet and peaceful. The adobe style building is just right for the "frontier" feel of the town. Some of the rooms have shared bathrooms and lavatories in a separate block but the room I was in had a bathroom just across the hall. Water supplies... More

Arrived in San Pedro without a reservation, on Christmas day. A lot was booked or very expensive. This is a nice ho(s)tel, at the bottom end of the main strip. We had a room for two, twin beds with a private bathroom. It's nothign super fancy, but its very clean and comfortable, and very good rates! They also have rooms... More

I arrived at San Pedro de Atacama only to find that there was a problem with the reservation I had made at another hotel. Puritama had a room available for two nights and I ended there. The room was nice, clean and rustic and had a private bathroom, which was a must for me. It also had a heater and... More

The hotel is on the main street of San Pedro, close to the main restaurants and shops. However, its infrastructure is not so good. I stayed in a small and dark room in the patio and I also used the shared bathrooms in the other side of the patio. Having to go to the bathroom outside at night during Winter... More

We found Puritama and fortunately they had the parking space we were looking for. Since we were tired from the long trip there we accepted the... More

During low season, we managed to bargain a matrimonial room at a very decent price. The room was clean but no heater was available. We had Satelitte television in the room. The staff was nice and helpful

My friend and I stayed here for 2 nights as part of our G adventures tour. The hotel was nicely decorated and I liked that they incorporated glass bottles in to mud brick-work which was very unusual and quite cool. The room we stayed in was clean and comfortable but we had to share a communal shower and bathroom which... More

The Puritama is on the edge of town, but as San Pedro is so small that is not an issue. The best thing is that the place has a good relaxing feel to it. Rooms are either in small main building or, as we had, a detached chalet. freezing at night (being in the desert) and not all rooms have... More

We stayed here for one night after leaving our other hostel due to noise and it was bliss in comparison!Lovely host who offered us a cheaper room, rather than encouraging us to take the more expensive option. Rooms were clean and warm. Nice courtyard area to sit in.
