El personal sumamente atento y colaborador en todo momento, la chica de recepción nos permitió quedarnos después de la hora de salida sin ningún problema, pues llegábamos de un tour luego de la hora de check out y teníamos vuelo de regreso a Santiago.

Fully recommend :)
Pros:

We had a lovely stay at Illauca. The staff were very friendly, welcoming and always happy to help. The hostel is close to the centre, yet tucked away in a quiet area, so you can still enjoy the peaceful desert atmosphere after coming back from your day trips.

The rooftop terrace is a lovely spot to watch the sunset or simply relax and unwind. Everything was also very clean and well maintained. A really nice and peaceful place to stay in San Pedro!
