ibis budget Calama

Le seul problème du séjour a été les residents bruyants qui discutent dans les couloirs à 3 heures du matin...

Chambre un peu petite mais agréable.

We wanted a confortable bed with duvet ( not heavy blankets) and a decent shower. We got that. But from the start there were issues. The extra bed in the triple room wasnt done and there were hairs on the mattress. The shower was burning hot. No cold water.! We had to go twice downstairs to get a man to fix it. We had problem to get Internet and had yet again to go downstairs to get help. (There is no way of contacting reception so we spent the first hour going down many times.) Internet does work. We waited for the third bed to be cleaned and done but at the end we had to do the bed ourselves. The air con didn't work despite the fact that the technician was there fixing the water. He looked at it and decided it works. Well it didn't. 🌝Breakfast was good. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The problems were sorted. The location of the hotel is good. You can easily walk into town or go to the modern shopping mall where you find cash point and money exchange at good rates.

We stayed here for 1 night before venturing to San Pedro. The hotel itself is nice; the bed was comfortable, the WiFi was great and the heating in the room was a welcome addition. The room was pretty small, and the bathroom was absolutely tiny. Our window was also broken as it couldn't close properly. This was fine most of the stay, but someone on our floor decided to smoke out the window at night and the smell went into our room. I can't really fault the hotel for this, but if the window could close fully this wouldn't have been an issue at all. Overall a fine stay for a night before the desert.

This is very much a budget hotel - small, cramped rooms, and everything costs extra. We stayed here for one night on the way back from San Pedro de Atacama, before leaving the next morning - that's about what it's good for.
