We stayed at Hostal Elim for 3 nights and were expecting to need the thermals on inside, but we certainly didn't. Our room had twin beds and was small, but it was so warm, we didn't need the heater even though it was near freezing outside. We had trouble with the shower our first night, but this was fixed when... more

Stayed in a double room in August 09. The room was quite small (not much room even with only 2 backpacks), but cozy and warm. The heater didn't work, but we were warm enough without it on. The bed was extremely comfortable; great pillows and doona with more than enough extra blankets. Bathroom was freezing and the hot water was... more

Good deal for a clean and reliable place. The hotel is simple but for the purpose of this sort of trip [adventure] is super ok. more

I spent 5 nights at the Elim. It was a nice place, and the owners were very friendly, but because of the location, I would most likely stay somewhere closer to town next time.

Hostal Elim is amazing! I recommend to every single person going to San Pedro who wants a nice bedroom, with an AMAZING bed, good heater, good shower, VERY clean, and very pleasant.

Staff were friendly and made us breakfast extra early the day we left for the Salar de Uyuni. Only problem was the building work, they are constructing new rooms... more

We stayed here for three nights and were very impressed. Don´t expect mod cons in your room like wifi or tv, but what you do get is a good clean room, very comfortable bed with lots of blankets (important for the cold San Pedro nights!) and a nice bathroom with good hot shower. Breakfast is simple but nice, eggs and... more

We stayed in a twin room with private bathroom for 34,000 pesos a night. These were the good points: - Very clean - Nicely decorated - Comfy beds with down duvets (its cold in San Pedro at night!) - Private bathroom with hot water - Hammocks in garden - Breakfast included - Quiet area - Set in secure grounds Can't... more
