This hotel is located in the main San Pedro Street, but the village is small and location does not add much. The staff were kind for the most, but the room only provides a bed, no reliable internet connection (you have to leave the room and go to the bar to get connected) and three out of the four days I stayed I had no hot water to take a shower. Now, considering that the temperature was around 0 degrees at night, take a shower in the early morning with freezing water is not very pleasant. I would not go back to this hotel.

Does live up to the potential
I really wanted to rate this hotel higher, but just can't which is unfortunate because there are a number of great things about this place. It is great that they offer to set up tours for you as well as an airport shuttle but was hard to get the official confirmation that things were booked (but this did not affect the rating I have given). My main issues with the property were based on the lack of helpfulness of probably 75% of the front desk staff. A couple of them were great, but the others are just dismissive and not wanting to help with questions, so theu ruin the impression of the other helpful staff. My room was also as issue becuase there was a water leak in my bathroom which was reported but no one came to fix throughout by 4 nights there, which the problem only got worse. So, my floor had puddles of water that i had to use the towel to soak up to avoid getting my feet wet. Also the bathroom did not have hot water but once during the stay. What the cause was that is unknown, but it was unfortunate when your visiting in winter when it is very cold and all you do it shiver during a shower trying to get the dust of the day off your body.

The central tree in the patio is an awesome place to relax after a walk or visit around one of the many sites in the San Pedro surroundings. The small pool is refreshing, and having the restaurant/bar makes it very pleasurable. And Don Raul is very nicely located. You can walk anywhere.

This hotel is in a good part of San Pedro de Atacama, right off the main strip of “downtown.” There are lots of restaurants, travel agencies, and shops nearby. The hotel is clean, and the facilities are nice. The breakfast is very good. My only complaint is the water in the shower did not get hot, and I’m not sure why because hot water came out of the sink faucet. The breakfast is good, and the staff is friendly and helpful.

Very cool hotel. No AC or fans in the room so it was very hot. Also very loud at night with a bar beside it.

Don Raul is a good value. It’s clean and friendly and conveniently located. It does not have any extra amenities though and the bathrooms are tiny. One more we woke up and did not have any power or water. This was fixed quickly so not complaining just something to be aware of when you are trying to decide whether to shower at night or in the morning before a tour. Overall would recommend.

Pretty hotel though a little down to basics. We were allocated an older room that was small and had poor lighting but asked to be switched and the new one was a big improvement. All around a good experience

The hotel was the last one on the main street and therefore easy access of all restaurants. The breakfast doesn't start until 7:00 AM and almost all of the tours in Atacama start around 5:00AM and we didn't have breakfast even a single day. In fact all the tours in every part of Chile starts around 5:00AM and the breakfast doesn't start until 7:00 or later. We were only able to have breakfast for one day of our 13 day tour in Chile. Its better to book hotels without breakfast to avoid paying extra cost.

4/10 Fair

We paid for a Deluxe room (US$160 aprox.) and they gave us a small room next to the kitchen, that was extremely noisy, dark, smelly and hot. When we asked about our room to the hotel employee (Ruben), he told us that there was a mistake with our reservation and there was nothing they can do for that night given that the hotel was overbooked. Next day they moved us to a room more quiet, although not the deluxe room that we had booked and pay. When we checked out and tried to arrange the price according to the rooms that we stayed in, the empoyee of the reception (Eduardo) only repeated that the hotel did not have any responsability on the "mistake", and he was not willing to cooperate at all in order to solve the money ishue. We had to beg him to write an email to the person in charge in order to create a "case" and TRY to get our money back. To this date we have not receive any news or formal apology, much less the reimbursement of any amount.

Great location, very cute. Beds comfortable. We emailed ahead to get a double/queen bed m, instead of two twins. We didn’t not get it our first night- though it was promised a month prior via email. Offered the move the second night, but took much time to change. Included breakfast was weak. And we ran out of hot water both nights - the first night, I got a hot shower but my husband did not. Second night, I ran out of hot water with shampoo in my hair. My husband has none.
