Aji Verde Hostel San Pedro

Brilliantly set up hostel. Plenty of space to do your own thing, plenty of opportunities to be social. We booked a stargazing tour last minute when ours fell through with SPACE - it was really good! 4 nights was probably a little too long in the tent with shared bathroom, but the bed was comfortable. The pool is good for hot days, freezing but good! 24/7 reception desk is helpful and the staff were sooo helpful, fun and friendly. A short walk to the main town centre, and space for parking a car (we ended up hiring one for a day so that was helpful!). Internet was pretty good. Kitchen was fantastic, the best I used in 3 months of Argentina/Chile. Bike hire was good to explore the valleys, decent bikes too.

Of course, sleeping in a tent, everything from outside is so loud - the guests in the tent next to you, the cars on the road. Suggest ear plugs. Also one day there was no water until after lunch which forced us into town to go out for breakfast to use a bathroom at a cafe, expensive and not ideal! The water was never hot - in 4 days I didn’t have a single hot shower, and nights/mornings were really cold in early May.

We stayed in one of the tents, it was spacious and clean and we liked our terrace area.

We had an issue with our tent zip that made it difficult to get in and out of the tent.

A lovely spacious hostel with lots of nice areas to relax in the garden.

The bathrooms could do with an upgrade, the one closest to our room didn’t have a toilet seat which feels an easy fix. A little bit out from the Main Street under a 15min walk but if you plan to be in and out a lot it may bother you in the heat.

The communal spaces were good and it’s one of the few places with a pool. There was good car parking. The bed was extremely comfortable

For the price of a private room (not cheap) we would have expected a bin, a mirror, and a bedside lamp. Like everywhere in San Pedro the WiFi was awful. The kitchen was quite dirty despite best efforts of the staff to keep it clean
