Mantra desert Hostel - San Pedro de Atacama — Hotel in San Pedro de Atacama

We stayed for 4 nights in February while visiting the sights of the Atacama desert.||The facilities were ok but there is definitely some room for improvement across the whole hostel i.e. the bedroom doors do not open without scraping along the floor which wakes people up at night. The bunkbeds also do not feel very safe. The kitchen and bathroom were ok but would benefit from a more frequent clean.

But the beds are absolutely terrible - they squeeze 3 beds into a bunk & there isn’t even enough room to sit up in bed - it is like sleeping in a coffin. They are really poorly constructed & feel unsafe/like they are going to collapse. Every time someone moved, the whole bed rocked & squeaked. It is also about 15 minutes’ walk from the centre & the wifi doesn’t work at all. There are better options near the centre for a cheaper price. We got a very decent private room near the centre for the same price (not on booking sites, just walk...
