2-Star Hotels in El Loa

Upon arrival, we were greeted by Nicolas. The B&B is located at the beginning of the central street meaning that everything is within a short walking distance. The rooms had everything we needed and the breakfast was simple but enough, it had all the basics. Our trip was a success thanks to Nicolas. We planned our trip but did not take in account that certain places are not accessible for individuals on certain dates. Thankfully, Nicolas helped us come up with a new planning. We enjoyed our trip to the fullest and we would definitely recommend staying at Casa Lickana!

The rooms -- including bathrooms -- are tiny, which did not bother us as digital nomads because they still offered a lot of storage. The first floor lobby spills into an enormous dining room/work hall with plenty of seating and a variety of table heights (great for me to work sitting then move to a standing position). Lots of natural light and you can people watch through the windows. 24 hour attention @ the front desk and wifi speeds work GREAT in the room and best in the lobby. Brekkie is included in your rate and very good compared to other breakfasts we have eaten throughout our stay in Chile, including eggs made to order. Cafeteria offers buffet style or a la carte lunch + dinner. The sandwich we had for dinner was average, but keep in mind there are not many restaurants open on a Sunday in the area. Secure, off-street parking and we found that ~33% of the front desk staff we encountered spoke some English. NEGATIVES: 1) The room size is tight, but fine, except that there did not seem to be much air flow. This led to us sleeping with the window cracked for circulation, but the street noise is a distraction throughout the night. Bring ear plugs. 2) The included gym is a good thought but does not have free weights/weight lifting equipment; only cardio. For ~$6 USD/$5000 CHP there is a full gym 1 block away where you can buy a day pass. 3) Hotel contract mentions a safe in the room, but we did not see one in ours?! That would have been a useful touch. 4) I know the hotel cannot help its location, but I do not believe this is in the ”best” area of town. That being said, Calama is a bit rough anyway so the entire city itself statistically is not as safe as the aggregate of Chile. Case in point, EVERYONE tells you to not be out after sunset and the day of our arrival a poor teen was stabbed ~5 blocks from the hotel. This does not reflect in my rating of the hotel, but travelers should know that going into Calama/this hotel.

Good price-quality relationship. Comfortable beds and private bathroom. Common kitchen. About 20 minutes walking to the centre, which warmly makes it a little hateful, but there are taxis that carry for $4.000. The refrigerator is divided by rooms. They make a dress every day and change towels.

Me encantó mi estadía, la pasé increíble. Es limpio y ordenado sin dejar de ser entretenido, los espacios comunes funcionan muy bien, creando el clima idóneo para la interacción entre viajeros. Adicionalmente, el staff (Yanet) es súper amable y nos ayudó con todas nuestras dudas, además cuando tuvimos un problema con otro hostal y nos tuvimos que marchar de aquel, el Rey Lagarto nos recibió con los brazos abiertos, brindándonos soluciones y un lugar bacán. Lo único que mejoraría sería el aire acondicionado ya que pasamos mucho calor en la noche. En conclusión es un hostal que vale totalmente la pena y tiene la mejor relación precio/calidad.

This hotel is run by people who have never been to any other hotel it seems. Payment is upfront, even though booking was covered by credit card. Even worse: the owner tried to scam us by trying to add an extra 'local tax' of 19% to the rates they offered via *********** It was only after us having to call *********** he came back to say that 'he was mistaken and we would not have to pay the extra 19% on top. Unfortunately his memory is very short as we noticed that guests coming after us were again charged an extra 19%. So this was certainly not an honest mistake! Beware of this if you decide to go there. The rooms are spartan, no heating, no TV, empty fridge, no water and no amenities to speak of. At night this means the room is very cold and the only option is to take a warm shower and hit the bed. Blankets and bed are good. Breakfast: 1 slice of cheese, 1 slice of salami and some sugary paste are put on your table. The fresh fruit and the eggs were excellent. We found it weird that the breakfast only starts at 8am, while most tours for Atacama desert leave from there between 7am and 8am. They prepared a small bag for us, but still... It would make a lot more sense to change these opening hours. Wifi is very spotty at best. Knowledge of English is non-existent, so brush up on your Spanish. All in all, bad service, not really friendly and below all standards for the rates you pay. And trying to scam us really soured the entire mood from the start.
