“Enjoyed my stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 December 2008

We arrived in San Cristobal late at night without a reservation and immediately found this nice hotel right next to the central plaza. We were able to negotiate a small discount for three nights in total. We stayed in an airy room with two double beds, clean private bathroom with hot water and TV (only local channels, as far as I remember). The room was very beautifully decorated and the whole hotel had a very Mexican atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and the rooms were cleaned every day. The breakfast wasn't included in the price, but there is a restaurant in the first floor and several others nearby. It was possible to book tours through the hotel, though like this they're a bit more expensive than booking directly from the numerous operators in the town center. The only minor problem worth mentioning is that the rooms were a bit chilly in the nights, but luckily the beds were covered with three thick blankets. All in all we had a great stay in the hotel, and I can definitely recommend it as a good option for the ones looking for a clean and quiet place to stay. But since there are no common areas or shared rooms in the hotel, it probably isn't the best place to meet and to hang out with other travelers.

“Like a set from Zorro”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 March 2007

We stayed here for three nights and enjoyed the hotel. The wonderful wooden floors, very squeaky both inside and outside the room, gave the hotel a very traditional Mexican feel. Bathrooms were clean and bright with lots of hot water. There certainly is traffic noise in the evening and early morning but I always have ear plugs with me.

“Deceptive Serenity”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2007
3
people found this review helpful

This place is deceiving on glance. The atrium is pleasantly decorated
with plants and flowers. There is a decent restaurant (Kuklucan)
associated with the hotel in the same building. The rooms with a bath are
about average for the price range - 230 pesos. The problem is the noise.
During the day -when you are checking in - it is pretty quiet but in
the evening after 10 pm they turn on a water pump that is extremely loud
and they let it run for over an hour. Then the disco next door begins
to crank up until early morning. Around six am, another water related
pump is activated that sounds like a cascading waterfall. The staff was
extremely unapologetic about any of this. Moreover, they kept changing
the time when the pumps would be turned off. I can not recommend this
place at all given the number of good Posadas/hotels nearby that offer
clean, quiet, and even in some cases, less expensive rooms.

  • Liked — Location to center of town
  • Disliked — extremely noisy and poor customer service attitude of the staff
  • Tips/Secrets — seek alternative hotels, there are plenty of good ones in San Cristobal
