“Geotel Calama distinguishes itself with self-catering apartments and sustainable tourism certification, a welcome combination near the Plaza de Armas. I found the focus on longer stays, with fully equipped kitchens, a practical touch for exploring the Atacama region. While the location is convenient, light sleepers might note that street noise is a factor, which is not something that the hotel can control.”
