Pros/Cons - Hotel Diego de Almagro


  • The place is beautiful. Real architecture. Built with local stone that keeps the rooms cool during the day.
  • Big outdoor swimming pool. Absolutely necessary to cool off during the midday heat of the desert.
  • Ample, secure, free on-site parking. A rare luxury in the narrow streets of San Pedro.
  • Complimentary breakfast buffet. Generous and varied. Good fuel for high-altitude excursions.
  • Rooms have both heating and air conditioning. This is most important because of how cold it gets at night compared to during the day.
  • × A bit far from the center. About a 10-15 minute walk. Not exactly on the pedestrian street.
  • × Slightly dark inside the rooms. Because of the small windows. Which is again a traditional feature intended to keep warmth inside.
  • × Wi-Fi connectivity can be spotty and slow, though this is a common issue throughout the entire town of San Pedro.
  • × The walls can be thin, and noise from the corridors or the central courtyard can sometimes be heard.

Rating Details - Hotel Diego de Almagro


  • Worth the Price That parking plus big breakfast is included in a rate which elsewhere in town can become quite expensive, makes this hotel a particularly good value, even though it would probably still do well if management decided to unbundle those extras from the room rate.
  • Service Quality Professional and functional. Efficient in handling check-ins for large tour groups. Lacks the warmth and personalization of a small B&B.
  • Location Quality Good location but requires a walk. Situated on the edge of the town, peaceful and quiet but a stroll to restaurants.
  • Area & Access This place is raw and rugged but beautiful. It shares a border with views of Licancabur Volcano right from the parking lot up to the pool area.
  • Overall Cleanliness Very clean. Somehow, between daily housekeeping and all that dust in the desert air, they manage to keep it spotless.
  • Breakfast Experience The restaurant within offers an average buffet and dinner menu-but-and this is important-if you’re too tired to walk into town, it will do just fine.
