What guests think
At Solar Madariaga Hotel, travelers highlight a beautifully restored boutique property with tranquil courtyards and a walkable, quiet location near Vicuña’s main square, paired with consistently warm, proactive service that enhances both quick stopovers and longer stays.
Rooms are generally comfortable and stylish, with some suites and spacious bathrooms, though a few guests found certain rooms small or short on natural light, and a couple noted quirks like very tall sinks or weak water pressure. Amenities include a pool and reservable hot tubs, a small bar, and easy street parking rather than a private lot; laundry service also drew positive remarks. The Aloe restaurant and breakfast receive frequent praise, while occasional critiques mention limited vegan options or a less impressive breakfast. Overall, expect a charming, service-forward boutique stay in Vicuña’s center with relaxing spaces.

Das Hotel war ein Highlight auf unserer Reise. Familiengeführt, herzlicher Empfang und sehr bemühtes Personal. Die gesamte Anlage ist mit viel Liebe zum Detail gestaltet. Das Zimmer war komfortabel und man hat uns mit Tipps zur Umgebung unterstützt. Innenhof und Pool waren (Dank vieler Blumen) ein angenehmer Ruhehafen, sodass wir unseren Aufenthalt noch verlängert haben.

One of the reasons we also chose this accommodation was the Aloe restaurant, which had vegan options on their menu. We were hungry and went straight to the restaurant, but unfortunately, there weren’t real vegan options. There was either cheese or eggs used for the bread. The waitress was very kind and honest with us and replaced the bread with rice cakes. We used the laundry service. Impeccable. We used the pool and we were alone. The reception always helped us with our questions with a smile.

We arrived to an excellent welcome, a tour of the hotel and room. We could not have felt more at home, a treat after being on the road for 6 weeks. As we came more familiar with the hotel, restaurant and bar, the welcoming and friendly spirit of all of the staff team was at the fore. The sympathetic design of the room and communal areas again is just relaxing. The town of Vicuna is also a treat in chilled atmosphere. We booked one night, stayed two only because we had to be somewhere. We wish we could have stayed longer. Juan was particularly engaging and great English too.

Beautiful boutique hotel with original details (wood floors, high ceilings etc) set around two courtyards and indoor/outdoor restaurant. The bed was comfortable and we really enjoyed the soaking tub in the beautiful spacious bathroom. Lovely pool (unheated) which unfortunately we didn’t have time to use and apparently two hot tubs you can reserve (they were full during our stay). The Aloe restaurant is nice and stays open pretty late which is helpful if you’re doing an astronomy tour. The staff were very friendly and arranged a packed breakfast for us when we had to check out early to catch a flight. We regret we only had one night here and would certainly return!

Byron was very helpful in getting us checked in and sharing information about the property and its amenities. We enjoyed our stay and found the family suite spacious. Breakfast was delicious (they allow seconds of any dish), street parking in front of the hotel entrance was easy. Facility is charming. The only oddity is the very tall sink height in the bathroom. Other than that, we found the location excellent and the staff warm and friendly. The resident cat, Loy, was a charmer.

The property is gorgeous, with inner courtyard gardens, pool, roof top hot-tubs and even massage! The meals were excellent and the staff friendly and communicative. The rooms , comfortable and the beds/bedding perfect for sleep. The bar, small, but well stocked and great place to get familiar with pisco sours!

This Hotel has a lot of potential, located a few blocks from the main square avoiding excess of street noise. A super well done renovation of a colonial house -unfortunately, not common in Chile- keeping the original architecture adding new paint, beautiful lightning and a new construction in the patio for new rooms and jacuzzis. Local cactus and trees for great common area with pool. There's a restaurant (ALÓE) with a short but well prepared menu and cocktails, maybe this was the highlight here. Our room (13) had a balcony, nice comfy bed and a weird but cozy shower room. Such a big bathtub but not enough water pressure to deliver as should be, can be understable regarding the drought in the area but inconsistent when having jacuzzis and swimming pool. Regarding the cleaningness, poor. Could be much better, there was dust and hair, here and there. Even a “araña de rincon” appeared, enough.

Mein Mann und ich hatten das Vergnügen, im Solar Madariaga Hotel in Vicuña zu übernachten, und wir waren von unserem Aufenthalt begeistert. Das Hotel liegt im Elqui-Tal welches eine tolle Landschaft bietet. Das Zimmer war komfortabel und sauber, wenn und entgegen unserer Sorge in der Nacht, ab ca. 22:30 Uhr sehr ruhig. Das Personal war äußerst freundlich und hilfsbereit, wir haben uns sofort wohl und willkommen gefühlt. Das Hotel verfügt über einen Pool, einen Whirlpool und einem sehr guten Restaurant, das köstliche regionale und internationale Küche bietet. Ein Highlight unseres Aufenthalts war die Möglichkeit, an einer Sternenbeobachtung direkt im Hotel-Patio teilzunehmen. Das Hotel hat ein eigenes Teleskop und wir konnten die Sterne in voller Pracht genießen. Der Guide war sehr visiert und hat uns vieles gezeigt und erklärt (auf Englisch, was in Chile schon eine Besonderheit ist). Es war eine schöne Erfahrung, die wir jedem empfehlen können. Das Hotel bietet eine einladende und entspannende Atmosphäre, die perfekt für einen erholsamen ist. Es ist hat top Ausgangslage zur Erkundung des Elqui-Tals.

Tinha tudo para ser incrível, mas infelizmente encontrei uma aranha de rincon dentro da minha mala - correndo risco de ser mordida. Preferi um hotel mais caro para me sentir mais segura e o que aconteceu foi o contrário, já que estamos falando de um dos animais mais perigosos do país.

We arrived to an excellent welcome, a tour of the hotel and room. We could not have felt more at home, a treat after being on the road for 6 weeks. As we came more familiar with the hotel, restaurant and bar, the welcoming and friendly spirit of all of the staff team was at the fore. The sympathetic design of the room and communal areas again is just relaxing. The town of Vicuna is also a treat in chilled atmosphere. We booked one night, stayed two only because we had to be somewhere. We wish we could have stayed longer. Juan was particularly engaging and great English too.

Nice charming hotel close by Elqui. Probably one of the best spots around. Aloe restaurant is also very good. Overall a spotless stay. Jonathan (property manager) and his team were nothing but great to us; always keen to help.

Byron was very helpful in getting us checked in and sharing information about the property and its amenities. We enjoyed our stay and found the family suite spacious. Breakfast was delicious (they allow seconds of any dish), street parking in front of the hotel entrance was easy. Facility is charming. The only oddity is the very tall sink height in the bathroom. Other than that, we found the location excellent and the staff warm and friendly. The resident cat, Loy, was a charmer.

Mein Mann und ich hatten das Vergnügen, im Solar Madariaga Hotel in Vicuña zu übernachten, und wir waren von unserem Aufenthalt begeistert. Das Hotel liegt im Elqui-Tal welches eine tolle Landschaft bietet. Das Zimmer war komfortabel und sauber, wenn und entgegen unserer Sorge in der Nacht, ab ca. 22:30 Uhr sehr ruhig. Das Personal war äußerst freundlich und hilfsbereit, wir haben uns sofort wohl und willkommen gefühlt. Das Hotel verfügt über einen Pool, einen Whirlpool und einem sehr guten Restaurant, das köstliche regionale und internationale Küche bietet. Ein Highlight unseres Aufenthalts war die Möglichkeit, an einer Sternenbeobachtung direkt im Hotel-Patio teilzunehmen. Das Hotel hat ein eigenes Teleskop und wir konnten die Sterne in voller Pracht genießen. Der Guide war sehr visiert und hat uns vieles gezeigt und erklärt (auf Englisch, was in Chile schon eine Besonderheit ist). Es war eine schöne Erfahrung, die wir jedem empfehlen können. Das Hotel bietet eine einladende und entspannende Atmosphäre, die perfekt für einen erholsamen ist. Es ist hat top Ausgangslage zur Erkundung des Elqui-Tals.

Schöne Anlage mit zwei Innenhöfen, vielen Pflanzen, Kakteen und Pool. Empfehlung: "Signature Room" im Obergeschoss mit Balkon (No. 13).

Upon arrival, the person at the reception offered us a tour of our room and then the accommodation, which is sensational. It was clearly going to be the best of our stay. One of the reasons we also chose this accommodation was the Aloe restaurant, which had vegan options on their menu.

Beautiful boutique hotel with original details (wood floors, high ceilings etc) set around two courtyards and indoor/outdoor restaurant. The bed was comfortable and we really enjoyed the soaking tub in the beautiful spacious bathroom. Lovely pool (unheated) which unfortunately we didn’t have time to use and apparently two hot tubs you can reserve (they were full during our stay). The Aloe restaurant is nice and stays open pretty late which is helpful if you’re doing an astronomy tour. The staff were very friendly and arranged a packed breakfast for us when we had to check out early to catch a flight. We regret we only had one night here and would certainly return!

Our 5 night stay at Solar Madriaga exceeded expectations. The staff was courteous and accommodating, including housekeeping, who did our laundry twice and the contracted transfer driver, Ruben. Communication via What's App prior to our visit was responsive, welcoming, and informative and helped with Spanish to English translation. The food at Aloe was fresh and delicious, and the drinks were both beautiful and of the highest quality. Both wait staff and bar tenders were great. Favorites included the veggie empanadas and the Elqui Pisco Mule. The property was tranquil and very quiet and all the historical aspects of its 100+ year old history were a delight - as were the lovely kitties in the courtyard. We did experience an unforeseen issue related to the age of the property on our last night, but the owners responded almost immediately to our report of a problem, and accommodated us to our satisfaction, quickly and with grace and courtesy. I would highly recommend this property for a peaceful stay in Vicuña and the Elqui Valley.
