I read the bad reviews and do not get it. Small hotel with great staff and location. Restaurant in the hotel has limited but good menu and a pretty good wine list. Expensive but everything in San Pedro is expensive. Met people here from Columbia, Santiago and Germany. Will come back.

Really close to the main street that have all the shops, bar and restaurants. Small, but confortable rooms with good breakfast, but in another area (outside, but in front of the hotel). Service was ok, but dining there is not good. I recommend other restaurants very close. Bad wi-fi connection, It only works good by rooms close to the reception.

We stayed here for 3 nights over Christmas and it was ok. We've been backpacking for 3 months and have honestly stayed in better hostels for a quarter of the price. We arrived on Christmas eve via taxi from the airport and got dropped off at what we thought was Hotel Kimal, we were soon ushered over the road to... More

I understand the confusion that arose for you over the names of the different parts of Hotel Kimal - these being Hotel Poblado Kimal and the original Hotel Kimal. This arose through the way we were being listed in booking.com when you made your booking. However, they have now created separate listings in their website. Regarding the internet signal, unfortunately... More

The hotel is a collection of stone or mud houses and we were placed in the latter. The house was as clean as a mud house can get, but you had to be careful with the walls as they were staining clothes if you happen to lean on one. The lighting was very poor - one window was at the... More

We stayed with a group of friends for 4 nights. The hotel is nice, but the amount of dirt in San Pedro makes it hard to keep it clean. Location could not be better - just a few steps from the Main Street and always the first stop for tours. Minibar at the room is a plus. Main complain is... More

Independent appartments in "atacameños" style with amazing termal equilibrium - fresh during hot days, warm during cold nights. Built in adobe. Simple and clean. Very simple. Excelent location. Historical Center. Near eveything but off main street.

We had a room near the end of the walkway, which was nice and quiet. Large room with 1x double bed and 2x singles..... so loads of room. The bathroom was a little bit small and not totally up to date but adequate. It got very hot at night in the room, only a small window, one fan not quite... More

At first glance, Hotel Kimal is charming and well designed. HOWEVER: The room is "cozy"-(as in small) - and the lighting is so poor that it was difficult to do anything after dark. The first night the one window was jammed and the room was a furnace. Plugging in the fan required moving the refrigerator The shower was, at best,... More

We spent four nights at the hotel. It is built in Adobe and all rooms have their own entrance on the ground floor. The first impression is of warmth and comfort. We had a good sized room, probably better than we paid for but the shower room was pretty pokey. There was a telephone and Wi-Fi but no TV (who... More

I stayed here Feb 6/9. Loved the adobe style and layout. Yes, the whole town is dusty and so some is likely to get into the rooms but is always kept clean. I wanted something different and this hotel certainly is. The food was very good and always well presented and all the staff I encountered were very helpful and... More
