El Mirador

Sign  says 'Hotel el Mirador' new owners, now 'Hostal Grisel'. Quiet, off-street rooms around courtyard. Very helpful owners. Standed here and all the hotels were booked full, very lucky to find this nice place. 5G wi-fi, hot shower, tv's, no breakfast.

We very much enjoyed our stay in this beautiful traditional hotel. Very clean with large bathrooms and lots of hot water in the shower. I loved the courtyard,great if you wanted to sit and read a book. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. The hotel is also very centrally located near to the best restaurants and short walk to the Atacama2000 bus station for buses to San Pedro and Uyuni.

Quiet oasis in hot and dusty city

A low budget hotel in  expensive Calama

My general impression of Calama after 1 1/2 days there is to avoid it. Nothing to do, nothing to see, nowhere nice to live. Mirador looked nice on the outset, and the staff was mostly friendly and used to help tourists with little Spanish skills. The rooms were not nice though. Run down and not very clean, I found somebody elses nail clippings on the floor and the night table by the bed after check-in. The staffs idea of cleaning the room was to make the bed. No taking our the trash, no cleaning the floor, well you get the picture. 

Unclean

Although the room was spacious, and the shower was powerfull, the hot water was hit and miss, the bed was not that comfortable, and the receptionist said the breakfast started at 06.00... we went for breafast at 06.30 to find the night staff asleep on the couch and couldn't be really bothered to do our breakfast.... when she finally made breakfast it was not really worth the wait. When we checked out there was nobody on reception and we had to go searching as there was no reply from the bell that we rang. Location is not to bad,,,,, only 5 minute walk to center.  

Not worth the money

Stayed one night, 11 Nov and as we left  the next morning they were putting up the for sale/rent sign. Anyone could clearly see it is now closed. We were, they told us the last guests ever. You should get a dated photo of the sign as proof, if you need to get your money back from anyone who is taking bookings. For the couple who stayed the week before us, the reception was never properly manned. We had to wait around for them, but were able to get inside.

DEFINITELY CLOSED

We booked the hotel via an online Plattform. The reservation was confirmed. 

We arrived around noon (should have had 24h reception) and waited for 2 hours in front of the door. Tried ringing the bell, knocking heavily, shouting, email and phone call.

Nobody answered.

When then made a tour to the mine (super exciting!!) And came back to wait for another hour including ringing and knocking and shouting - again, no response.

Now we managed to find an alternative hotel. The hole process was very unpleasant for us.

We still need to wait for the response of the Plattform to our inquiry and the credit card bill...

DO NOT BOOK!


Hotel is closed or a Scam!!

Historic building with large room and bathroom, colonial decor , wooden floors , excellent breakfast location on inside (patio) view but generally a neglect / overlooked atmosphere dominates the hotel. This factor involve the cleanliness and staff services!!
