HOSTAL PARAISO TOCOPILLA — Hotel in Tocopilla

We stayed at Hostal Paraiso Tocopilla while visiting Tocopilla. Christian and is wife were absolutely amazing hosts. Super friendly and very helpful. They served us a fabulous breakfast and allowed us to stay a little longer past their normal check out time so we wouldn’t have to wait at the Bus Terminal for five hours as our Bus to Calama didn’t leave Tocopilla until 5:05 PM. Hostal Paraiso Tocopilla is the cleanest hostal we have stayed in. The rooms are very spacious, complete with a little refrigerator, the bathroom and shower was very clean with lots of hot water.

He did so without giving me the chance to ask why: just punched in some number in his credit card machine. I believe he did that in error because other hotels in Chile never charged me anything like that. The rule, as I understand it, is that if you pay by credit card in USD you are exempt from the tax. I asked for a tax invoice, which the man refused to give, insisting the credit card slip was enough.

The room had no towels, which of course I discovered after having taken a shower late...
